"TopChef 2! " |
Well, it's nearing time for another season of Bravo's self-lauded "breakout hit", TopChef.
This one's called TopChef ... wait ... wait... 2. (Imaginative, Huh?)
Sorely in need of a snazzy tagline, some consider this series to be the thinking mans Hell'sKitchen.
I must admit, it was an enjoyable show. Yes, even with that snarling beetch, Tiffany.But until it starts, let's take a closer look at the aspiring (and perspiring) Cooks/DAWS. Marcel Vigneron
Age: 26
Hometown: Bainbridge, Washington; Currently reside in Las Vegas, NV
Profession: Master cook at Joel Robuchon at the Mansion
Education: Culinary Institute of America
Marcel has always believed that cooking is a form of expression where chefs can show their creativity, complexity and enticement. It is these qualities that landed him a spot on this season's "Top Chef." Serving as a teacher's assistant at the Culinary Institute of America, Marcel studied molecular gastronomy and butchery among other complex topics. He currently holds the title of Master Cook at Joel Robuchon and says that his nine-course tasting menu got him hired right on the spot.
Marcel says that he tends to be bossy in the kitchen, but he will earn the respect of the other chefs through the creative dishes he plans to bring to the table.

I started looking through some of their promotional pictures and ... BOY ... what an odd bunch of folks.
Yes. Those are cherries and that is a nipple. Helloooo Nurse!?!
 | Wow! This would make 2 hoochies on the production side.
Gail? What were you thinking?
 | With Gail and Padma on board, it looks like Tom may have to walk around in this pose all season.
 | OhGoodLard. Hoochies 3. Prudes 0. And what's with the FootJewelry on her hand?
 | HolyCarp! MY EYEEEEEEEES! Hoochies 4. Prudes 0.
 | Hmmm... Country, Black and Lesbian. Stereotyping Overload ... *bleep* *bloop* *bleep* *Self-Destruct* Self-Destruct*
Can Lesbians be Hoochies? Bravie? Anyone know? If so, toss another one on the chickenhead pile.
 | Well...I can't really tell. Is she holding up her skirt with her thumb though?
 | Ohp! Yup. Hoochie.
 | In her comeback role ... Jennifer Beals in "FlashPans!" What a feeling! Either that, or I just peed on her floor. Hoochies 6.5. Prudes 0.5.
 | If she's a Hoochie...I'm a Prude.
 | Hopefully, not a hoochie.
 | Yes. Guys can be Hoochies.
 | Harold? Is that you?
 | Isn't this guy one of the QueerEyes? 
 | Keep moving. No stereotype here.

First Grade Inflation, now this.I'm assuming most of these "degree" are what I would call "certifications". Like what you get when you attend a class (usually either over a weekend, or maybe even for a few weeks) on a specific topic and are now certified to do that thing in the workplace. I could see taking that many different classes, but that each one gets a degree, that is just insane. 
It's a tribe creation!

11. "Ep.1 Into the Fire" |
Kicked out of the kitchen:
Suyai
Showing her inexperience with not only cooking but playing in reality games...she admits to the judge that she's out of her league and is struggling. Well ... The panel sent her packin'. Quick-Fire Challenge went to Sam. Flambe' dish in 20 minutes.
Elimination Challenge went to Ilan. 2 hours to come up with a winning dish that included peanuts, artichokes, escargot, american cheese and ..something else. (I forget at the moment.)
or was it Peanutbutter, eggplant, froglegs, chickenliver and cornflakes. Looks like Marcel is this seasons bad guy. In the vein of Stephen, without the ambiguity. Although I could be speaking to early.
But for the bulk of the other "chefs" to single him out for his overuse of garlic, there's looking to be an undercurrent of distaste for him.
BTW, WTF is up with Marcel's hair? He looks like an offspring of the ThunderCats.

17. "RE: Ep.1 Into the Fire" |
ThunderCats . . . you crack me up, Tribey!I watched the ep today -- on way too late last night & fell asleep shortly after it started. This season looks like it's going to be a good one. We have the villian in Marcel and some really creative chefs this time around. The challenges were so much better so far and the new host is a HUGE improvement . . . she actually looks and sounds like a live person. Great to see Harold again (though he looked tired) and there are a few to root for. So far (though it's still early) my top picks are Ilan & Elia. Sam is my eye candy and I was pleasantly surprised by the strong showings by Mia and Emily. I actually liked Stephen last season (I didn't think he was no much a villain as just too tightly wound/OCD-like). So, I will hold out on burning Marcel at the stake for the moment, but I do think he's a bit of a punk. However, I thought he was being targeted for personal reasons rather than the taste of his food. At least 2 of the team didn't go with the "majority." Boy, the previews sure look good. Looks like we really have quite the lively bunch this season.

18. "RE: Ep.1 Into the Fire" |
I saw the episode last night, too.
I have to disagree re the host. I think she's another gal who came in second in the Star Search Spokesmodel category. I would like any of the following hosts instead:1. Tom from Queer Eye
2. George Clooney
3. Alton Brown
4. The Loony Guy From Iron Chef Japan Who Makes Liberace and Prince Look Like Grizzly Adams
5. Mr. Jay
6. Me
7. Harold From Last Year
8. Bob Costas
9. Sherri Lewis & Lambchop (c'mon...the potential for mutton humor is unlimited!)
10. Jon Stewart The contestants present good field, I think. So nice to see people who can actually turn ovens on. And I think the right elimination was made. Very glad to relish another season and...YES!!! Who the FVCK uses red wine for FLAMBEE???? But I kind of got a kick out of that chick anyway.
Plus, they have that neo-Tekken II music again, for garnish.

Have to agree completely with you geggy.Was funny listening to the judges consider keeping Otto if he fessed up to the lychee dabacle. Then when it came time for his confesional he added that he wanted off the show. To bad he couldn't keep his big mouth shut. Marisa should have been the one to go.
Her PannaCotta lost the challenge for her team and she should have paid for using too much gelatin.
And for dessert, a lovely ginger hockey puck.

27. "RE: Otto is an idiot" |
I'm with you 100%, Geg. Otto = Idiot. Marissa = Reason they lost & whining snake.Otto was clearly wrong in not returning the lychees right away when he thought they got them for free, but I think what Marissa did was much worse. As they were getting into the van, Otto says & Marissa hears: "I THINK we got a case of lychees for free." Right then and there they should have voiced this to the entire team and checked the receipt & confirmed whether or not the lychees were not paid for. At that time, they should have been returned. However, Marissa decided to hold her tongue and only start harping about it after they are back at the kitchen and she "tattles" on Otto, basically calling him a thief and insinuating that he hid them from the cashier or something. Heck, the entire team apparently didn't know about it until after they were back in the kitchen and well under way. So, Otto was wrong in not taking first action after voicing the "possibility," but Marissa basically "aided & abetted" in not doing anything about it until much later and then running to Tom and throwing Otto under the bus. If she would have said something earlier, Otto wouldn't have been gone for the hour-plus returning them. So, not only did Marissa's dessert lose it for the team, but the way she handled the Lychee Incident also contributed. If Otto wouldn't have withdrawn, I think the judges would have sent Marissa & her knives packing, deservedly. Oh well, Otto & Marissa are clearly not long for this competition anyway, so what does it matter who goes first in the long run?

30. "Episode 3" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-02-06 AT 10:50 AM (EST)Wow! Who knew Emily was such a nasty wench? She finally gets some screen time (which let me know 10 minutes into the show that she was the one going home) and she shows her true colors! "The last demographic I wanted was snotty little kids. I hate kids."
"The last thing you need with your 4 teeth and huge ass is more sugar!" I was shocked. She seemed normal until she opened her mouth. I was happy she was booted. I also had to laugh at Marcel who whined and complained about how much time it took him to make his onion rings. Now, I've never made them myself, but doesn't it just basically consist of cutting an onion, soaking it in buttermilk and then tossing it in some breading? What could that take? 5 minutes? He's such a turd. And don't even get me started on bacon avocado ice cream! Gah!

32. "RE: Episode 3" |
Emily was pretty rude & I never saw that coming. Personally, though, I thought Michael should have packed up his knives and left. Between his attitude, unkempt appearance & sloppy dishes, he really is out of his league with this thing.Regarding Marcel -- he was not complaining about the time it took to make his onion rings, he was griping about the fact that the fryer temp was way too low & he suspected foul play, because Michael had just fried up his own onion rings. He was complaining about having to wait for the temp to get hot enough to fry the rings (which it never did in his 15 mins) and Betty started mouthing off to Marcel & their feud began. Both Betty & Marcel acted immature in their taunting of each other. I was surprised by Betty, because I thought she would be more mature than that. Marcel doesn't surprise me, because he's a young punk & a male, to boot. One more thing about Marcel's rant about the temp of the fryer. Normally, I would think he's overreacting & paranoid in claiming he was being sabotaged, but from things that have already happened, things talked about in confessionals & stuff shown in previews, this season's contestants are a sneaky, cheating, sabotaging bunch. So, I wouldn't be shocked to learn that Michael did turn down the fryer to screw with Marcel. I wonder who the cheater will be revealed as next week?? It's a shame that too many contestants on these shows feel they need to stir things up for good TV, rather than just rely on their talents.

LAST EDITED ON 11-02-06 AT 02:14 PM (EST)Well, actually, Marcel didspend some time moaning and groaning about how long it took him to get the onion rings prepared, only to have the fryer cause another problem with them. He's a complete tool on every single episode. If I had been putting up with him all this time in close quarters, I'd have unloaded on him much sooner than Betty did. And I also have to question why he didn't check the fryer the minute he stepped into the kitchen? I would have. And then, if it wasn't hot enough, I'd turn it up high as I got my stuff out of the containers, etc. By the time I was ready to fry, the oil would have been hotter than his, even if it wasn't perfect yet. And this whole thing about how snooty all the "fine dining" people were about creating a dish for the masses? Tells me that they are not as great as they think. All the great chefs I've ever known (and I've known a few), can prepare something for anyone. And certainly without over salting it or being clueless about something as simple as making and frying onion rings. As for the cheater? I hope it's Michael. Emily was bad and rude, but I don't have any respect for him, either. I agree that he's sloppy, has an attitude with nothing to justify it, and has body language that just screams "I don't care." I won't be crying when he goes.

36. "RE: Episode 3" |
The whole Fryergate thing was ridiculous!I'm about the worst cook in the world...but even I know that if you fry a bunch of onion rings in a small, electric, non-professional fryer...1. the oil will not stay hot and 2. it will take a long time to get back up to temp. Nobody sabotaged Marcel. PLUS, as Betty said, Marcel was whining like a baby instead of doing something about it. That something? He should have thrown some oil in a pan & put it on the gas stove. It would have heated up much faster. Even I thought of that all by myself -- plus it's mentioned in some of the blogs on the Bravo site (Tom's? Lee Ann's? don't remember for sure). As much as I like Betty, I was a little disappointed in her tirade on Marcel -- however, she did it when he was DONE COOKING. The only one who was disruptive while Marcel was cooking was...Marcel. So for him to send his "blazing eyes" (please) and smartazz comments into the kitchen while Betty was working was uncalled for. That said, I'm not sure he's evil. An insecure wanker with really poor social skills? Yes. But not sure he's a real villain. Other stupid things:
The "Fine Dining" snobs. Shut. Up. I enjoy fine dining. I also like cheeseburgers. Read Tom's blog on Bravotv.com -- he makes some great points about how you need to be able to do the basics before you can branch out & develop your own style...he pretty much slams "young chefs" who claim to be molecular gastronomists but can't make 'regular' food. Michael's juvenile behavior. If he were 12 I would still think he was immature. Emily's mouth. Oy vey. She's probably more talented than Michael & some of the others, but geez lady -- having seen those comments from you, I wouldn't want to eat at your restaurant. I'd be afraid that you'd come out & snatch my dessert away from me because of my fat ass. (Though I do have the full complement of teeth.)

LAST EDITED ON 11-13-06 AT 02:09 PM (EST)Yes, I grew to loathe Mia in about twelve minutes flat there. Even if she was, technically, correct. I don't know why she didn't Go There about ten hours earlier. Same comment goes for whiny Mr. Everyone Sprayed the Kitchen With Contraband Olive Oil. Either say something or don't...don't start to say something and then decide you are too classy to follow up your vague accusations with actual specifics. That being said, I was annoyed with Betty, too. If she didn't cheat intentionally she did a pretty moronic thing. After spending all that time counting every single calorie with the nutrionist, she should have known better than to think a casual swapping out of sugar for Splenda (and those cookies weren't THAT much smaller) was kosher. Poor Tom looked like he was ready to walk away from the show. It's bad enough to be a judge but now he has to make these ethical rulings every week. A lot of the menus looked really good for 500 cal.

39. "RE: TopChef 2! " |
I was glad that they showed the Betty didn't intentionally cheat, too. I find her a little annoying, but she has had consistently good ideas (winning ideas, even) so I didn't want to see her go. I even buy her reasoning that while she did add 2 tablespoons of sugar, her cookies were smaller so she figured that evened out. The look on Betty's face when she realized she was on a team with Marcel was priceless. Yet, for all the hype, they seemed to get along pretty well. I know Sam was going on and on about people using squeeze bottles of olive oil on everything, but did anyone actually SEE that? I would think that if the cameras had caught someone doing that, we would have seen it. He's pretty, but I'm thinking that he's a bit of a whiner. Mia's accusation and exaggeration irritated me. She claimed that the black team used "all sugar" in the merangues on game day. Way to inflate it, Mia. Maybe you should stick to your team and your recipe, and maybe your cole slaw wouldn't have been so flavorless. (They were the cole slaw team, right?) Mike's amuse bouche looked like a turd on a stick. If you're going to be non-chalant about the challenge, okay, but did you have to make that think look like it had already been consumed and, er, "processed?" IMHO, I also thought Carlos' winning amuse bouche looked vaguely turdish. Based on TV appearances alone, and my own propensity for devilled eggs, I'd have given it to Ilan. I also thought Frank's quiche was impressive for having come out of an automat. Marisa. I don't like her. It is clear that her "Word of the Day" calendar is stuck on "hypocrite" since that word keeps coming out from between her sourpuss lips. I think she's sat on a few too many stiff peaks. I fear that Otto's falling on his kitchen knife when jello-brick lady should have gone home is going to serve to keep her around far longer than I will be able to stand.

I've been reading all of the blogs on Bravotv.com this morning and I was surprised to read this:(from the Producer's blog) A note about Emily -- a really nice girl and genuinely talented, she just got thrown off balance by being so far out of her “fine-dining” comfort zone. A great shame to lose her from the competition so early. She has just undergone major spinal surgery and is going to have to spend a few months recovering and learning to walk again. It’s very shocking news -- real life puts “reality” in perspective yet again. We all wish her a really speedy recovery and lots of luck. Wow. I wish her well, even though she seems to be a total beyotch.

I'm so glad Betty didn't go home. You pulled a bonehead move this week, but she's obviously very talented and deserves to stick around. That said, this is the awfulest bunch of whiny tattletales I've ever seen. They're worse than my Pre-K students. At least they rat each other out while the behaviour is still going on. I went from liking Mia to hating her in a snap. Sneaky! I don't personally find Sam all that attractive. He never smiles. Mike stinks. I hope he goes home soon.

51. "Episode 5" |
Well, well. An episode without lying, cheating or stealing. *yawn* LOL. Just kidding. I love this show no matter what. I watch it on Wednesday at 10, and most of the time I watch the replay at 11, and then I catch it at least 3 more times throughout the week. It's a sickness.Congrats to my newest pretend boyfriend, Ilan, for winning the challenge. *dreamy sigh* (I won't lie. He is 80% of the reason I feel the need to watch this show 5 times a week. *grin*)
I really thought he would win the Quickfire Challenge since the restaurant where he works has things like sweetbreads and tripe on their menu, so he is obviously familiar with cooking those things. ('scuse me while I gag.) I knew at some point we would have a double elim to make up for last week, but I was kinda bummed that they did it so soon. I don't think Josie deserved to go home. I was happy to see Marisa go though. It was funny that everyone felt the need to do a duo or trio of something (except for Ilan/Michael and Betty/Mia). I guess they just wanted to show that they could come up with a lot of ideas, but not many were able to execute it properly. LOL at the Pepto Bismol "soup".

52. "RE: Episode 5" |
It's not just you, SilverStar, I usually watch it twice in a row, too. I usually wind up watching it again at some point during the rest of the week, or my DVR will catch it and I'll watch it yet again. I really thought I was the only person that did that. I thought this was a pretty good Quickfire challenge. I don't know that I could have eaten anything that any of them made, personally, but some of the ideas were good. (Well, I don't know, my dad used to make oxtail stew that was pretty tasty.) Mia's response at the Quickfire annoyed me - whenever she's questioned on her dish she gives the "I accomplished my goal" or "I'm proud of what I did" answer and doesn't seem to be willing to admit when something is sub-par. Elia's reaction to learning that her kidneys tasted like kidney was pretty funny. I had a feeling Marisa/Josie were toast when their course very obviously didn't fit in with the others. Tom seemed particularly crabby about this challenge and he really turned up the beat-downs. Loved it. My particular favorite moment was when he pointed out that Marisa/Josie didn't even *cook* anything. I was sad to see Josie go, too, but if that needed to happen to ditch Marisa, well, thanks for your service, Josie. Goodbye, Marisa. Take your sourpuss face and go. I'm sure a pastry bag somewhere has your name on it. Whiny boy Sam didn't whine so much this episode - guess all it takes to stifle that is immunity. I like Cliff.

I love Cliff! I love him so much I lurve him. Last night's epi was pretty good, although Im kind of sad that Josie had to go. Notice I said her, not her hair. It really seemed that the chef's could've benefitted from getting together with each other before just cooking whatever they felt like. That might have helped avoid the whole pink soup in a spoon fiasco. 
Ready for fall, thanks to Sharnina!

LAST EDITED ON 11-21-06 AT 02:09 PM (EST)Just found this Board.... you guys are cracking me up! I love this show!! I am an addict too - watching each episode a few times. Hey - I even made Betty's grilled cheese!! I love me some Cliff! I like Betty too. I was soooooooo glad to see that prissy pastry heffa go! Bout darn time!!! Too bad she had to take Josie with her. I guess that's what happens when you dont cook to win -- or dont cook at all. Even Josie herself said she liked being in the middle of the pack. That Marcel is irksome as hell.... hard to look at him with that nasty blonde soul patch and the surfer boy version of the Eddie Munster hair cut. Eeewww See yall on Thursday!!! ************ Why can't we get our own topic over there on the left like the other shows? Who do I need to kiss up to?

I thought their whole Thanksgiving dinner was on the weird side!yup. Hell, I make instant mashed potatoes from a box sometimes (more than I should really admit in public) and even **I** know that TWO potato sides is an incredibly stupid idea and since when is corn-on-the-cob a traditional T'day food? And why roll it in cheese and throw it out on a white plate full of white food?? And then we had the s-ugly salad. It looked like something a cat threw up after eating Easter grass. And Betty's desserts? Oy! Enough already with the two choices when one good one would do. It pained me to say that Marcel seemed to do the best job. To the core, I tell you, to the core.

65. "You Know, Gail REALLY REALLY hates them burned rubbery eggs." |
LAST EDITED ON 12-07-06 AT 12:51 PM (EST).... burned eggs. Burned, rubbery eggs. Rubbery, overcooked, burned eggs. In fact, did Gail have anything else to say this week? Anyway................... WTF was Padbot (yeah, I know, I'm supposed to respect her intellect more than last year's stepford hostess, but is Padma really a big improvement?) wearing at the onset of the beach challenge? And WTF is Mike still there? I'm sure last night's Boot-ee is asking himself the same question. I am relieved neither Sam nor Cliff was sent packing. We are getting down to some good contestants now. I think Elia is becoming the darkhorse candidate to make the final 2 - I just don't think (a) they won't have at least one woman in the final two and (b) Betty and Mia will make it that far. At least, I hope not. For some reason, I am all anti-Betty now. I was actually disappointed she did good at the beach challenge. Marcel is such a little pri_k but in a way it makes me think he's a true foodie. We aren't seeing a lot of Ilan. If I had to bet right now, I'd bet on an Elia/Ilan final 2. Which could be intriguing. BTW, we have Wishcraft open here in SF now and the sandwiches are magic. Just magic.

67. "RE: You Know, Gail REALLY REALLY hates them burned rubbery eggs." |
I wanted Gail to stfu about the eggs, too. Okay, we get it, overdone eggs are bad. Maybe she felt she really needed to be extra vitriolic about Frank's unfathomably bad eggs so that she could justify sending him packing over Sam and Cliff. It's okay, Gail, I didn't want Sam or Cliff to go either. I would have wanted Fireplug Frank to go even if Sam and Cliff had served up bottlecap and broken glass souffle.Although, Sam needs to do something about that hang-dog look he gets when he's facing the firing squad. I'd also like him to stop bringing other contestants into his comments when he's in the bottom. Yes, Elia took a gamble with her girl-scout cookbook waffle sandwich, but don't forget that your big problem was that something went wrong with your "green eggs" that turned them into "gray eggs." Was that the firepit's fault? Your burned your bagle, too. Yuck. My mom could have shown you how to scrape off the burnt parts with the back of a butter knife. How could Cliff have thought that just piling stuff into a bowl would be looked upon with any kindness? That was like a hobo skillet. Mike annoys me. Betty annoys me more. I'm with you, ginger, in being all anti-Betty now. She's just. . . too much. I want to put her inside a plastic bag and take her oxygen level down a few notches, just to tone her down some. Marcel is over-confident because, in fact, he is not confident at all. On TV, I like watching people like that get squished because it usually happens in a dramatic way. I'm a nasty person.

69. "Hmm... (spoiler?)" |
The following post may contain spoilers...Did a drunken* Mikey give away some info on Frank's Myspace page?
I was browsing some of their pages and came upon this comment that Mike left on Frank's page: Dec 10 2006 8:36A
frankie i love u dude but i beat in the game dude. u wont put this up on your comments iam sure but u should after your comments on the episode u got booted. love ya bro. i know you still probly wounder how i did it but i did, your dumb kid brother bet u by a couple hahahaha later dude. f*ck ic ant spell My Drunk-to-English translation (for those intolerant of really awful grammar): Frankie, I love you dude, but I beat you in the game, dude. You won't put this up on your comments, I am sure, but you should after your comments (about me?) on the episode you got booted. Love ya, bro. I know you still probably wonder how I did it, but I did. Your dumb kid brother beat you by a couple. hahahaha. Later dude. F*ck, I can't spell. So, what I gathered from this upon first reading is that Mikey is not booted out for a couple more episodes. Yes? He should be more careful when he posts while drunk. (I could give him some tips. I'm drunk right now and check out my html skillz!  ) *I've been here long enough to know that you don't make accusations without some backup, so here is a comment that he made the same night on Ilan's Myspace: Dec 10 2006 8:57A drunk and on drugs what the ##### iam doing making a comment on your page at 5 in the am. i really dont know iguess i should just go and bang the old lady. did i really just type this? ##### its time to go to bed. i really think i just wrote this and about to paste it on your page iam so stupid. ##### iam going to go get another beer stay up 4 the morning games....ya baby.......my god

I though Cliff was being a jerk. For some reason, he really seemed to have it in for Mia. I'm not sure why, It's not like Mia was pointing the finger at him, and even if she did he couldn't get sent home anyway. So there didn't seem to be a retaliation motive. Maybe there was something going on between Mia and Cliff we never got to see? I use to like Cliff a lot, but now Elia is my clear favorite. She's a strong cook, focused, and even seems to have a bit of personality. Then things got so emotional with Mia's anger (I think pretty justified)and then just saying she was going to go home. I don't think they were going to send Elia home, I swear Padme's lips started to say Micheal, before Mia interrupted her. And what was Padma wearing to the red carpet event?? It was not appealing.

It really seemed to me Cliff was trying to sink their chances, or maybe he was just coasting because he had immunity and didn't really care. Michael should have been the one who went home last night, since Cliff was immune.

I agree. They sent home Carlos for skating. They should've sent home Michael for skating.Elia gave a sincere effort and has top chef potential. Biggest mistakes on this challenge? Choosing menu items that couldn't be cooked ahead of time. All seafood and medium rare cooked beef are really hard items to cater to a large group. THAT was Elia and Cliff's mistake. So who do you send home? Michael, the continual skater with little potential to win.

Can you really send a guy home for skating on this challenge though? He was really the only one who did his job without effing up or blowing up. Mia, while I think she was completely right, once again only spoke up at the judges table. She did speak up to an extent in planning, but as baldy said, not enough in comparison to the judges table. Cliff, while not "the leader", did a horrendous job from the # of dishes to the type of dishes (what if someone can't eat seafood?), he was immune though. And Elia, by far the most talented of the three that could go, did not really lead in this challenge.I don't think Mike can be sent home when he didn't do anything wrong.

I was so surprised at Mia volunteering to leave. Now I will definitely have to watch the "near the end of the season" rehash to find out if Tom was going to send Michael home anyway. Poor Mia, she was (justifiably) frustrated and she just lost it. I would have liked to have seen her go longer.Did anyone happen to notice that silly texting poll for the "sexiest top chef contestant". They had 4 choices and really noticeably left out the two African American contestants, the feminine guy with the pompadour and the weight and fashion challenged guy (Mia, Cliff, Marcel & Michael). I just thought it was a little cold that the poll writer so boldly excluded those 4, everyone's appealing to someone, they should have listed them all and then the winner (it was Sam) could have been shown.

Whywould Mia take herself out of the competition?? That was one DUMB move!! Was it because the team lost the challenge and she knew that by being a caterer, this would screw up her business?? I'm completely at a loss as to WHY she would "go this far" compared to her family, and not want to go ALL THE WAY.... Weird.

I'll just say I totally respect Mia's decision. She didn't deserve to be offed but the person who did had immunity, I totally respect that she took the noble course to spare someone else.

I think Mia realized that she had a good life and had already acheived more than anyone in her family thought possible. She has a family and a restaurant. She simply chose to go back to her life.

>So Betty finally hit the trail...
>I wonder what she was
>thinking serving her "slow roasted"
>veggie soups in WINE glasses???
>Was that weird or what??Yes. It was weird. But, imho? Betty should have been booted immediately for mixing Bailey's Irish Cream (cream based) with lime juice (acid base) That's a drink called a "Cement Mixer" and is used by bartenders to make a client who needs to vomit-- induces it. That's what happens when you put cream and acid in your stomach at the same time. That's not "Top Chef" thinking. That's not even above "Bartending 101!" - When the judge said, "If I got this in a restaurant, I'd send it back!" Uh. Yeah. Who wouldn't? if they weren't completely inebriated and needing to upchuck! That made me KNOW that Betty was waaaayyyyy out of her league. So, it wasn't a surprise to me when she equally bombed the challenge. She deserved to be booted. Betty was no "Top Chef." She probably finds basic ratios confusing.

Ilan and Elia are more consistent-- but, I am not impressed with some of their other skills. I'm definitely on the fence with this one-- Cliff is OK, but not the best. Are you favoring anyone? Who else is favorited 'round here?

>>Well, I can't stand Elia...<<THANK YOU! I've been feeling like I was the only person in the world that feels that way. I sure don't get her appeal. Talented? Clearly. Skilled? Yeah. Also pompous, annoying and on the verge. I started out feeling neutral about her, but the little snit she had about her damn kidneys permanently put her on my "go away now" list. You soak kidneys to get rid of the urea. The guest judge said Elia's kidneys tasted like 'kidneys' because she was too polite to say Elia's kidneys tasted like urine.

105. "RE: TopChef 2! " |
From what I can see, Elia has some great skills at some things. But she's not top chef, for sure. My sister would never hire her for her restaurant. For one, I agree with the poster above that any idiot knows that you rinse kidneys because nobody wants their food to taste like pee. And, even if her roast chicken was the moistest ever, it didn't have anything to do with the sin of pride. Roast chicken is one of the most humble meals ever. And don't get me started on her idiocy during the catering challenge. If I'd been one of the judges, I'd have told Mia that we wouldn't let her quit. And then I'd have dumped Elia.And don't even get me started on her personality. She irritated me even before the show began, bragging about her zillion culinary degrees. She never got that many "degrees." She may have gotten a certificate for completing a course covering a particular area of culinary arts, but she tried to pump up her resume in the most transparently ridiculous way.

106. "1/10: Restaurant Episode" |
A few comments, I'll keep spoilers away.1. The person who deserved to go home, went home, although I liked him or her. 2. I think this should have been a double elimination episode and either of the other two people in the Bottom 3 going (one from each side). Tonight's performance was poor enough to justify it. 3. The judges were incredibly bitchy and even lying. They didn't want wine, they wanted beer. Beer was the only thing they talked about not having on one side. Yet, they get in to the room? WINE WINE WINE. The olive pit thing, was not sanitary, was way blown over. How was Michael supposed to think of a place to put your olive pits on the fly? Seriously, I could have seen ashtrays if they allowed smoking, but a specific place for an olive pit? Get real. Use your napkin to pick it up and penalize later, don't act all prissy. 4. There is no Harold in this field. There's no consummate chef who does everything adequately and who accepts his mistakes. I'm not even sure if there's a Tiffany or Dave or LeeAnne, but my memory isn't that great. Sam's a lot of talk and only has limited success, typically quickfire style. Ilan's inconsistant and often disappears. Mikey's Mikey. Elia is limited and does somethings well. Marcel's too cocky for his own good and too based on being a loner (watch the first five minutes with his scene on the roof, at least an 85/100 in the Unintentional Comedy Scale), and Cliff's bossiness will get him nowhere. All have talent, but no one pulls it off weekly. 5. There is no five. 6. What the hell do they do next week?

107. "tonight's challenge" |
Are they for real?!?! They give them 24 hours, one designer and one server to open a restaurant? to customers? -If I had been one of the chefs in the competition? I would have FLAT OUT refused to do anything other than participate in the concept, shop, cook and serve. The scenes with Mikey trying to help the designer put something together? (what WAS that? a table?) was ridiculous! Mikey wasn't there to win the "Who can figure out how to build furniture" competition. Heck, why didn't they have him tuning someone's VCR?? How come Mikey isn't able to act more independantly about making choices from shopping to cooking? He HAS a culinary arts degree! This stuff isn't NEW to him. I started wondering, at two points, if he had a drinking problem. Do you think he spent the extra $75 on more beer? (like the $8 he spent on beer, instead of cheeses, during another challenge.) WTF was with Marcel's poem? WHY did they show that tripe on TV? The watermelon dessert was a mess. I had the SAME problem with the Oreo lemon cake dessert that I had with Betty's "Bailey's and lime juice" mess. You do NOT put Cream and Acid in a dish, and in your stomach together! you.do.not! Yes, the right person went home. BUT, I don't think he was the ONLY person that should have gone home. Cliff made a HUGE mistake in wanting to be in the front of the house. BUT, I respected his choice because he wanted to challenge himself. Elia thought she was GOOD at being personable. She has no self-awareness. She BELONGS in the kitchen (but not all the time. The kidneys? Gross.) I agree with the poster that said "There is no Harold Dieterle" in this group. honestly? I don't think I even CARE about the winner anymore...I am not rooting for one chef over another. It's almost like--- I'll accept the chef that produces the least amount of culinary sins, and doesn't ##### me off. Who that is right now? nobody. Can we send them ALL home, and start over?

108. "RE: tonight's challenge" |
It was a crap challenge, and it's one of my least favorites in any show. It's a good FINAL challenge: two people left, two teams, two restaurants, days to build it up and prep. It's the one thing that HK does right IMO.I'm stunned that the designer got there late and then had the gall to tell a chef to get out there and do the table work. Asking for advice? Fine, but how many places do you know have the chefs do actual building? That's absurd. There's a reason you hire a designer: to design. Having a head server as a chef is borderline (the winner of this competition is unlikely to serve the food), but as a builder? Come on. On the shopping, I don't blame him. The last thing you want to do in a three player challenge is to get the other two mad at you. They supplied a list and he bought using the list. When he had 125 or so left over that was unable to be used on something else, he should have thought about it. I would never have thought of the pit problem, but at least spending it on extra plates or utensils or another server if possible. As for cooking, in a thre person challenge with four dishes, it makes the most sense (IMO) to give each person one dish and have a combination dish. It allows the chefs to collaborate if needed (winning team) and to expand (individual attention). Mikey didn't do anything, which you are right about. The desserts were horrendous. I LOVED the sound of Lemon Oreo Pie, but disappointed in the execution. But I'm a sucker for lemon and chocolate. Eh. Once again, I agree, there should have been a double elimination, any of the final three. I disagree on Cliff. Honestly? I think Marcel would have been the best choice. Granted, he's Stephen (last season) v2, but he's more charismatic than Cliff and focused than Elia. However, the leader would usually refuse to do it because, as was said, good food can cover mistakes. I think Elia would have been better, only because she's more likeable than Cliff. Hell, she gets along with Marcel. At this point, it's not Top Chef, but Not The Bottom Chef. It's sort of like the Amazing Race where you just don't want to finish last. I'll put up my made-up odds after the West Airing

111. "RE: tonight's challenge" |
Hell, she gets along
>with Marcel. Yes, but Elia admitted on camera that she and Marcel worked together, and Marcel was her sous chef. Therefore, I think that they get along because Marcel probably still sees Elia as a coworker or friend, or former boss, or someone he might work with again. I think her ability to get along with Marcel is more MARCEL's decision that he likes Elia. Elia also sucked up to Marcel. She told him, "When people here make fun of you, and don't get along with you, I always stick up for you." He said, "Thanks. I appreciate that." and he probably does. BUT, why did Elia feel the need to TELL him that about both others, and herself? To me? I see it as the same as Sam slamming Marcel's dish with the "Cherries bring down your libido, so here's something to bring it back up" (his dish) I think Elia and Marcel would make a good couple-- off-screen. They're equally annoying, and deserve each other.

109. "RE: tonight's challenge" |
Totally. Next time they ought to cast a short order cook. Man, I tell you, that is a real art. None of these pups could stand up to Ol' Rose at the old bus depot cafe, she could whup up anything on a moment's notice, all illiterate and untrained as she was. All word of mouth and trained by experience, raised by her ma and grandma, Gawd, I loved that woman's cookin'. Her chicken and dumplins were world class.That said, I'm totally glad that skater Michael finally got axed, it was long overdue. Now, let me tell you 'bout my great auntie's fried chicken... Col. Sanders would have paid dearly for her recipe. Heck, he would have gone gaga for her cole slaw, it was that much better.

110. "RE: tonight's challenge" |
I'm really hating me some Cliff.I'm really hating me some Gail. Go have the baby and come back next season. She looks sour, and her comments are not the least bit constructive. I think Elia has a Get Out Of Jail Free card for the season. I think she'd have to get caught spitting in the food for a woman not to make the final two. I think Elan's editing has turned him from a quiet, quirky competitor into a whiny beeyotch. Wonder which one is correct? At any rate, he's toast soon. I still like Sam but I'll pass on the watermelon 'n' cheese, thanks. Marcel is, at least, genuinely enthusiastic about the food. I think he's a lock for final 4. Other than that incredibly lame quasi rap moment, his editing has gotten much more positive.

113. "RE: 1/10: Restaurant Episode" |
A few thoughts.They didn't really need special olive pit receptacles. They did need bread plates (which would have served as olive pit receptacles.) As it was, the judges sat down, and were served bread and olives, and had no place to put either. Maybe it's just me, but putting a piece of bread that I'm about to eat where someone else's spit-out olive pit was just sitting is a little gross. Michael probably should have called the other two and said, "I have a lot of money leftover, do you think we forgot anything. . . like bread plates?" Not getting wine to serve in an Italian restaurant was kind of dumb, imho. Marcel's alone time up on the roof was indeed unintenionally hilarious. Don't quit your day job, Marcel. Oh, and undercooked chicken is really icky. Not just "oops" icky, but really icky-icky. Ilan. I liked him so much, but he has really turned into a whiner (and I thought Sam had that title locked up.) The dig at Marcel's foam was funny, but also kind of childish. He needs to get over himself and concentrate on what he does well and stop trying so hard to get Marcel booted. If Marcel is as bad as Ilan thinks he is, he'll get booted on his own merits (or lack thereof.) Cliff is really a boor. He did seem genuinely surprised that as the front of the house guy, the diners expected him to talk to them. Maybe he's surprised that anyone would want him to talk to them. Still, I don't think he should have been booted for flunking front of the house so it was almost a safe position to play. I liked the idea of the chocolate-lemon dessert but it looked like something that came out of the Weight Watcher's section of the freezer case. You wouldn't find that little swirley lemon coaster in a diner. Diners have things like Banana cream pie, or apple pie. Believe me, I LOVE me some lemon-anything, but that was disappointing. I think Sam's been a little under the radar lately. Or maybe I just haven't noticed him as much. Either way, I think he might slip in to the finals based on the fact that he hasn't really been overly offensive lately. I still like Elia. I don't love Elia. But I like her. I enjoyed Michael's wins and recent success and was hoping he'd be a dark horse finalist. Gail was really crabby on this challenge. Sheesh. I don't mind them being very critical but it was almost like she was trying to make everything out to be worse than it was. The pit. The wine. Her burger was overcooked. The watermelon gnocchi made her "nauseus." Please. Maybe she was trying to one-up the guest judge's snarkiness, or maybe she needs a day in the sun and an piece of chocolate. Was it me or did it seem like Tom was constantly chewing something in this episode? Like, gum. Or Tums. In my heart, I want to believe he was popping Tums because that thought makes me laugh. Occupational hazard of being a Top Chef judge.

LAST EDITED ON 01-11-07 AT 10:22 PM (EST)I see your point, I have always liked Cliff. Most of his dishes look really good. Yes he can be loud and a little rude working with teams, but I haven't seen him lash out to the extent of Sam, Frank, Ilan, or Betty(unless I missed something). I would rather watch him freak out working with a team then picking on Marcel for no reason.

I'm hanging in there but this season is sure a snooze. Hopefully, the finale is something worth watching. Unfortunately, a winner will *have to be chosen, but whoever (Sam, probably) wins the grand prize doesn't plan on opening up a restaurant. I don't see a one of these contestants qualified to run a kitchen, much less operate an entire restaurant. I enjoyed Ted as guest judge. And I still trust Tom's opinion but he's certainly no Tim Gunn ala Project Runway, sort of an advisor/mentor with Interest. I get the sense Tom's just putting in the time for the paycheck. One positive thing, though. I'm really glad I don't have to taste test nor smell the majority of the food I've seen.
