Dinner: Impossible on a Remote Island
03 5 2007
So, Robert Irvine was at it again in last week’s Dinner:Impossible. This time, he’s on an island in the Bahamas, serving up dinner to 20 VIP guests. His team? Two guest sous chefs. And Smiling Pat – a Bohemian woman with an enormous set of teeth – hence the name Smiling Pat 
Robert is dropped off on the island with a pack of matches. That’s it. What’s he have to cook? Well, he’s got a few crates that were given to him – filled with goat meat, plantains and other random fruit. And fishing line.
This is where we should go back to the guest Sous Chefs. They’re both survivor winners. I don’t watch Survivor, so I could care less about either of them. One was the winner of Survivor Africa – some guy named Ethan. The other Survior was some girl, who really didn’t have a brain or a reason to be on the show at all. I don’t think she actually *did* anything aside from drink Pat’s “fire in the hole” drink and talk nonstop, making the dumbest statements about anything that came to her mind. But, she must know something because she won survivor and I haven’t, right? ;-p
Anyway, Lack of help aside, Irvine was up against a real challenge: Make dinner for twenty VIP guests with only two pots, some fruit, goat meat, Smiling Pat and two formr Survivors. Luckily, the male Survivor spent a few hours fishing, but came up with little for Irvine to cook. In the end, Ethan had some Conks, and managed a handful of Lobsters to cook for dinner. How Irvine managed to get dinner for those people completed is still somewhat of a mystery to me, but he did it He kept mentioning how he thought that was the one that was going to fail. That, coupled with the shots of Irvine falling on the sandy beaches of some remote island also made me think that this was the one that he wasn’t going to pull off. But, he did. It was entertaining
