Illuminati Primus on TV

Uthrecht · #2 2nd August 2011, 10:19 AM

Wait - who are you?

Solfy · #3 2nd August 2011, 10:21 AM

Hi, IP!

Chacoguy · #4 2nd August 2011, 10:21 AM

That's quite the camera angle from :55 to 1:00.

Illuminati Primus · #5 2nd August 2011, 10:32 AM

Shut ya face Uthy

Chaco - yeah, not sure what was going on with his shorts, but, you know, whatever works for him.

Was it weird having cameras in your face for your date? I can't imagine the pressure of cooking for a blind date on top of the camera, too! (I only watched the parts of the episode that had you in them, but it seemed like you had a good time?)

Illuminati Primus · #7 2nd August 2011, 10:49 AM

It wasn't too bad, there was only the one camera. The annoying thing was having to repeat things several times from different angle to make it appear seamless (got old quick). I actually decided I was going to be diplomatic and not say what I thought about the guy live, which was that he clearly wasn't the sharpest tool in the box. After seeing the rest of the episode I move that assessment up to "epic twat".

mlerose · #8 2nd August 2011, 10:50 AM

Yeah, those tiny shorts can only mean epic twatness.

Glazer · #9 2nd August 2011, 11:11 AM

Well you are nothing like the Devil worshiper that I pictured from your post on the Dope. Of the three dates you seem to be the one I would most likely be friends with though.

Lungfish · #10 2nd August 2011, 11:19 AM

NM.

McNutty · #11 2nd August 2011, 11:35 AM

Timestamps would help. I gather you're the first menu guy? There's no way I'm watching this whole thing.

He's "quite picky about his cheeses."

Awwwwww, thanks. It's probably because I don't worship the devil that that's the case.

I think you had a lucky escape! Dim is not the word.

Illuminati Primus · #14 2nd August 2011, 01:12 PM

Pretty much everyone I know who saw it thought the same thing.

jali · #15 2nd August 2011, 02:55 PM

You are so adorable!

Will you cook for me...and bring it to Wales?

jali · #16 2nd August 2011, 02:57 PM

"What is it with Alan and Cheeeeese?" Funny presenter.

I so dislike Alan and I'm just at 13:20.

You got farther than I did. I got to where they're describing their first impressions of each other ("... and I was like, 'next'"), and decided to stop out of sanity preservation. I thought Alan was a douche.
I thought you were awesome, though, IP.

And, I bet that salmon is tasty, too. You should post up the recipe in the appropriate forum.

Illuminati Primus · #18 2nd August 2011, 10:56 PM

Thanks everyone! Glad y'all enjoyed. I can certainly post the various recipes in the right place. For the record the chocolate sauce worked fine the night before when I did my dry run, but with the pressure of the situation I cooked it too fast and it got burnt

Glazer · #19 3rd August 2011, 04:55 AM

That's why you should use a double boiler when ever melting chocolate.

So how did you happen to get on the show?

SmartAleq · #20 3rd August 2011, 05:41 AM

Oh honey, you totes dodged a bullet with Tiny Shorts Twat. Seriously, who wears those things any more, and especially with the incandescent leg action he has going on--dire!

Ooh, and does #5 have the ultimate douche hair or is it just me?

Monstera deliciosa · #21 3rd August 2011, 10:15 AM

I really enjoyed watching you IP! I watched the intro and your segment with full attention, then listened to the rest while I did other things. I agree with everyone else. Dim is precisely the right word for that guy. He had no sparkle whatsoever. Your personality and intelligence, on the other hand, shone right through. (And the salmon looked delicious.)

Illuminati Primus · #22 3rd August 2011, 12:39 PM

Flattery will get you everywhere Monstera

Glazer - I belong to an LGBT meetup.com group and the producers of the show sent an email to them saying they wanted gay guys, and could they please pass on the email to people in the group. From me receiving the email to being on the show was about two weeks (!) Apparently the TV network that hosted it loved me, what can I say?

Zeener Diode · #23 3rd August 2011, 01:04 PM

That salmon looked delicious!

You can cook it for me anytime!

Illuminati Primus · #24 3rd August 2011, 02:07 PM

Head over any time Zeener

shamrock · #25 3rd August 2011, 03:09 PM

You're adorable, IP. You can come to New York and cook for me any time

Teeny shorts guy was a doink.
