1. Melissa was never that good...or bad. She was just kinda there. She was "Top Chef" Braden Walker. I had no idea what the hell she was good at until Jeff was like "She's good with latin flavors" and I was like "So that's her gimmick." I forgot that three minutes later. I wouldv'e sent home her and Carla. At least Eugene dared to experiment. 2. I like him. I agree with Tom that these guys aren't trying to be awesome, just kinda "Well, maybe everyone else will suck." Hopefully he lights a fire under them. Other Notes: - New cooking show? I have no idea what "Chef Academy" will be like, but I'll probably give it a shot. Unless it looks terrible. - For the first 15 minutes I didn't know if I was watching "Top Chef" or an extended ad for Diet Dr. Pepper. - LOL at Stefan talking to the guest judge all happy and cut to Fabio stabbing him with his eyes. - Jamie does like to do scallops doesn't she? - LOL at Jeff watching the TV while peeking out from around a corner. It's a guy criticizing your food, not "Halloween". - On Jeff's dish: Other Chefs: This isn't that good. Tom: It's alright. Toby: BEST THING I'VE HAD TONIGHT! - Carla: I don't try to wow you with pizzaz, I try to wow you with flavor, and in that regard, I failed. So there's nothing redeeming about your dish? - Next week Hung and what appears to be the "fishtank catching challenge". Also LOL at Jamie and Stefan arguing and cutting to Stefan all calm and happy: "I'm still not changing it." |

I've been secretly hoping for a "Best Of Top Chef/Second Chance" season for some time now. Let's see what the hell happens when we get the best ones. |

Yeah, so I noticed the lamb team won the online poll for "who best honored the ingredients" when everyone on the show said they sucked ass. It's not going to take me much to make a logical jump here, but I'm going to say it's becuase Ariane is the fan favorite like the previous two seasons' goody-two shoes golden girls. Boy am I fucking glad she got axed this early. Really I was laughing my ass off. Thank god there won't be a repeat of last yer or the year before. And maybe there will be enough episodes left that some else like Fabio gets fan favorite. Anyways, good stuff. XD

Note, I'm stilling loling at this decision. A lot of people the Top Chef blogs are bitching about it and un-ironcially they are all females. XD Really she tenderized fresh lamb like it was an old, crappy cut of meat. She deserved to get sent home. Instead they are using conpspiracy theories like they wanted to keep Hosea and Leia together to create more sexual tension. It's just lame.

I know Hosea claimed to be good at it, and they bitched at him for not volunteering, but it's not like Ariane stood up for herself (also odds of her winning...slim to none). "Hey Ariane, you wanna prep the meat?" "Sure." Although Leah's "Eh, who cares" attitude at the end irked me some. Either way: Restaurant FUCKING Wars next week. These always bring it. |

LOL now yahoo.com did an article about whether or not it was fair she was canned. Seriously, fuck this bitch. She's not better than anyone else. If you screw up on this show, you get sent home. End of story. But people want them to be soft on their favorite chef. And they absolutely hate it when "the villain" wins. Like Hung won and there were 70 page threads of people who just signed up on the message board saying they would never watch the show again because it was unfair. XD |

I've been to the Bravo forums ONCE. People were complaining that the X-Mas special was filmed in June. That was enough for me to realize those people were not ready to discuss TV. |

Radhika is gone nows. And oh lord, the fans are not happy. Ariane's gonna win fan favorite for some lame martyr bullshit. Seriously, they are still harping on that.
Did I miss something? Either way, best thing last night was EASILY random Howie appearance. I mark'd. |

Radhika was really cute, but way too much of an introvert. She kinda doomed herself by choosing to be front of the house.
His and Stephanie's acting was terrible in that commercial.
Collichio also mentioned the "huge reaction" on his blog. Really these fans annoy me. They all seem to be house-wives or something who chose the one who is "most like me." Really, there should be no fan-favorite. The losers don't deserve to have money thrown at them to appease these stupid people and their shallow reasoning. Leah reminds me why some girls need to be sent to the north pole for cognitive dissonance. Gee wiz you're all over the guy the night before and then the next day you're all cryiy, sabotage your team, and want sympathy because this is supposedly the "first time" you ever cheated on a boyfriend. Does anyone really believe that horse hockey? |

1. Howie's acting > Kelly Kelly's acting. 2.

And Jeff's gone. Felt he was top 4-5 worthy, but hey, Fabio and Stephan > Jeff so I happy. I haven't checked, but I fully expect bitching that this was filmed in like, August WAY before the Super Bowl. Oh, and I have ZERO memory of Camille. What the hell did she do of note? I agree with Tom that "All Stars" might be a stretch with some of them, but for all intents and purposes, maybe people like Marcel and Brian were busy or something. |

Unlike most of the people at the TC forum I'm sure I actually felt bad for Steffan after he lost. He looked pretty sad, proving that he really is a perfectionist. LOL though at Andrew's impersonation of him.

Yeah, Jamie losing sucks. She was definitely my favorite. She was also the best chef after Steffan. She shouldn't have served that cellary though. I guess Fabio will be my new favorite, but he'll probably get fucked over the next episode I'm sure now. |

Bravo forums rule.
Translation: I miss Ariane.
Good ol' conspiracy theories. And the winner:
Cliffs: Show did not go the way I wanted it to. I quit. I'm sure Bravo's ratings will plummet since one person is no longer watching. |

^That happens every time something happens they don't like. Just wait for humongous bitch fest that will occur after Stefan wins even though he's obviously the best chef on the show. I hope this means Jamie will get fan favorite, but I still wouldn't past the brain dead soccer-moms who watch this show to give it to Ariane. XD Edited by Syxx, Feb 5 2009, 03:31 PM.

I like the people bitching that Stefan had the easiest dish. Well, no shit. If you had to choose between extremely simple and "What the christ is this fish and sauce I have never made it before", the smart thing to do is to go with what you know. I mean, mad respect to Carla, but it wasn't as close as Stefan's I secretly hope that /b/ fucks up the voting and Patrick wins. The bitching will be epic. Really, I just want anyone but Ariane for some lame soccer mom inpirational bullshit. |

Is anyone really saddened by the loss of Leah? Anyone? Personally, I like the Hosea's desire to destroy Stephan the best thing going right now. It's as if Hosea could be making a sandwich and Stephan walks by with a "Hi" and Hosea smashes the jar of mustard in seething rage. Speaking of Stephan: ![]() He's mildly happy. Also Top Chef Masters. |

Yeah, Hosea is a bit annoying to me. Glad his gal-pal is gone too. Gonna say I'm backing Fabio all the way now. Quote of the week: Fabio - "Mama Mia!" Am I the only one who noticed serious fan-service this episode? First it was low camera angle as Leah bent down to show us her melons. Later it was Padma looking like she had a case of the THO. Not that I'm complaining or anything. XD
So it's basically the exact same thing as Top Chef? WTF? lol Edited by Syxx, Feb 12 2009, 05:44 PM.

So we got at least one episode left (two if you count the inevitable reunion special), and for fun, who do you think's gonna win this year? Logic states Stefan will do it cause he won the first challenge, and I'd love to see him do it because the Bravo Forums will explode. Hosea is probably my least favorite, but well, those forums will explode in some "ARIANNE!" rage, so for LULZ, I choose him. Carla wouldn't make me mad, but eh, just not rooting for her. She already pretty much got the prize value + in her Toyota
Yeah.....no. |
