Random bump to promote Season 5 Premier. Feels kinda short notice, but I only just realized this last night. Plus, if you miss it, Bravo will probably reair it 7000 times this weekend. Here's hoping we get more than Syxx and Trilly commenting on it this time. |

I was gonna ask when the premier was, but the ad on the bottom of the thread told me. >_> Of course this season will once again become my crack. I just hope an uber, perfect, boring fan-favorite doesn't win again or I'm gonna gag. Also this season needs more Bourdaine ripping people culinary assholes.
And Mike what's his name commenting on the show while not actually following it. ![]() Also want to take wager on who are the tolken lesbian/gay chefs this season? edit: split this into a new topic Edited by Syxx, Nov 11 2008, 06:41 PM.

Picture wise, Patrick. I know it's terrible to guess that by photo, but he seems like the gay one.
A love of the performing arts? Gay. Jamie could very will be our token Lesbian. She kinda looks it, plus, she lives in San Francisco. Course, I could be amazingly wrong and it'll be Lauren and Hosea. BTW Lauren? WANT. Also looking forward to us doing a crazy yuri pairing like we did in Season 3. The only other characters who stand out to me are Gene (who looks like the bastard offspring of Batista and Rey Mysterio, and will probably be refered to as "Batisterio", even thought it is longer than Gene) and Stefan, who will rip your nuts off and shove them down your throat if you so much as look at him funny. Seriously, everones smiles and joy and Stefan's all "I'm must kick someone's ass." I guess they don't smile too often in Finland. |

Ok, watched the new episode. Pretty obvious who was going to get cut during both rounds, so no big surprises there. I also think its official Tom Collechio hates salads.
Good call. You got two out of three showing you have decent gaydar. I wonder if Jamie will get mad and kick any chairs this season. Also I'm pretty sure that's the first time in recent history that Tom has been referred to as a "cutie."
So far I would go with Radhika. Maybe Radhika/Padma for sexy, indian action? xD Although, my luck she'll probably be cut next week. She might have if no one was stupid enough to make salads again in this show. |

I'll give Top Chef another go, but actually I kinda prefer Kitchen Nightmares. Chef Ramsay is brutally frank with the cooks he deals with, and from the looks of it it rings a little truer to what actually goes on in restaurant kitchens, not all the petty bickering that seems to be a large part of Top Chef. I dunno, it just seems a lot like that Top Design show, which to be honest I find loathesome. None of the contestants in either show have any real world experience, but they act as if they're the greatest thing to hit their respective fields ever. Maybe it's the combination of massive egos coupled with low backstabbing that kind of turns me off, but like I said, I'll give it another chance... |

That's part of the fun really. Some notes: - DID NOT LIKE the promo of other episodes. Way to tell us Carla was going to go at least somewhere. - What the hell is up with Danny's facial hair? Once I saw it, I just kept focusing on how....terrible it was. - When Hosea got Brighton Beach and was all "I have no idea what to do" I was like "Dude, it's like 90% Jewish, and your name is Hosea Rosenberg, you can not fuck this one up." Twas right. - LOL at the way Gene was about to like, cry during the indian food thing. He won, but my god was he nervous. - Person I'm pulling for? Stefan. He's Finnish Howie with talent! - Person I'd most like to tap...now? Leah. She's hot, she can cook and I'm 99% sure anyone called Leah Cohen is Jewish. - Person I'd most like to strangle? Carla. Both cause she squeled when they said Martha Stewart was coming, and that she said latke as "lat-key". It's goddamn "lat-kah". I don't call you "Carl-Ay" do I? I will though. She how she likes it. |

So this entire episode I was all like, "Man, Ariane is SO boned". She made this...horrible, horrible dish and she borked it last week, so I was all set for her to get kicked the fuck out. Than Jill (who I'd totally hit harder than Takeshi Morishima hitting a small child for their ice cream) goes home. WHAT THE CHRIST. Edit: 61% of people agree with Trillium on the site about this. Either way, poll seems totally rigged (last week was between Euroduo* and Team Rainbow and Patrick goes home, this week was Jill), and I'm also peeved that Bravo's preview last week of Ariane crying was from AFTER she didn't get eliminated. Way to spoil. Bitchyness aside, I LOL'D at Fabio getting all defensive of his dish and Padma going "Dude, we liked it" and Fabio being all "Sorry. LOL." * - I hate this name goddammit.

Jill was cute, but dumb as a box of rocks. I'm actually glad she's gone. I hope this show isn't only dominated by the euro-chefs, becuase it will make America look bad. lol Also I can't believe what's his name used crab from a can. Jesus, even I know that would taste bad.

Really not much to say about this weeks episode aside from Dave Grohl is awesome and reacts the same way I do to bacon (FUCK YEAH BACON!). Danny is like, new Howie, and the best part was when they showed Howie's picture. He still sucks, but we had so much fun ragging on him that I miss the guy. Oh, and Carla's STILL alive til at least Dec 10th, cause she won't be doing her Martha Stewart thing next week. |

I also go to see Jamie's nipples in HD. I think I just broke a rule, but I'll go ahead and remove it now cause I feel like it. XD
He still sucks, but we had so much fun ragging on him that I miss the guy. I don't even hate Howie as much now. Season 4 Dale was a far bigger asshole/psycho. Edited by Syxx, Nov 27 2008, 05:40 PM.

I briefly confused Season 4 Dale with Season 3 Dale and was all "But Dale was cool! What did he do?" Yeah, Season 4 Dale was a douche. I...forget what he did, but I know we were not fond of him. |

^He got pissed off at everything included winning a team elimination challenge, bitched about everything in his interviews, took Andrew's umpa-lumpa idea 100% percent serious, and in general looked like he had a pine-cone stuck up his ass all season. He gets minor points for referencing the song Strong Island by JVC FORCE, but that's unfortunately not enough to make up for him being a dick. Edited by Syxx, Nov 28 2008, 02:54 PM.

Not really much of a shock that Alex went. Can't do a creme brulee in an hour let alone 2:30. Not all that mad at Melissa's bus throwing either. He was kinda boned anyway, cause he didn't finish, and Jaime could've made someone sick. Melissa's sucked, but she finished, and no one wouldv'e died. Spicy stomach explosion maybe, but that's it. And Arienne is coming out with skills. Don't think she'll take this, but jesus did she improve. Oh, and Carla's squel-out was last night, so she's possibly going home every week now. |

He seemed like a total dumbass, and when they asked him to defend himself, it sounded like he didn't really care that much. Just another thinning of the heard really. Arienne is doing better but she did it with two conceptually simple dishes, moist turkey and what looked like mozzarella salad. Let's see what happens when she has to do something a little more difficult. |

New judge? Temporary replacement for Gail? Shame it can't be Bourdaine, but we can't have all the awesome. Oh, and you can have phones in the house? That doesn't violate some kind of "no outside contact" rule like 95% of reality shows? |

Yeah looks like some snooty, pretentious asswipe. They could just also use Ted Allen, but I guess they're trying to go for some let's shake up the show bullshit. |

It's been over one month and no one's mentioned this:
They need to mention this on the show ASAP. It's probably the single coolest thing any of the contestants in "Top Chef" history has ever done. But not the coolest thing anyone on the show has done. That probably goes to ummm...naked Padma. Which I can't post, but here's her eating something while looking sexy. ![]() Actually, that's probably the coolest thing. Eating while sexy. Edit: One comment on somethingawful forums sounded like Carla may be a lesbian, but I'm not sure because she didn't join Team Rainbow, and there isn't ANYTHING to prove her preferences in either way.

Ok as for the new episode, Eugene and the blonde chick went home. Not that surprising. Eugene brought an element of cool to the show, much more so than the Bronx guy, but yeah he just never hit the mark on the cooking. I'm glad Fabio didn't go. Gotta say I like the Italian. I hope he does Dario Argento proud. XD Also glad Jamie finally won. Other people complained about her being cocky, but sorry I always dig the butch tomboys on this show. xD The new judge wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. Thankfully he wasn't another Simon becuase I thought that's what they were going for which of course would force Kool Keith to release another diss record: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zARawLd9824 |
