Not! Old rivals like Ilan and Marcel (season two) look about ready to smack each other and Casey and Carla (season five) confront their "issues." At one point, Fabio (season five) insists that the cameras get turned off. Spicy stuff. Jump into the comment thread as the episode unfolds....

Let us sort it out for you so you don't miss anything worth watching. Times may vary with region; check your local listings for exact hour and channels.

Paula Deen was on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien last night, trying to show Conan, Andy, and guest Garry Shandling how to make pumpkin rolls from her new book, Paula Deen's Cookbook for the Lunch-Box Set.
