We're halfway through Round 3, and we're already getting sentimental for Piglet 2014. In our third week, we navigated the competition's upsets and shoe-ins like seasoned Piget pros. On Monday, Josh Malina set the tone by tending to his bucket list; April Bloomfield stressed that she looks for a cookbook with a sense of adventure; and, embracing that ideal, Tad Friend invited "naked-and-hallucinating-at-the-wheel-of-his-Porsche Robert Downey, Jr." in cookbook form to his house (and liked it).
To read more, check out each judgment -- and the week's Piglet Community Picks -- below. We'll see you back here on Monday for the final rounds.
