I think I'll be rooting for Eugene too, he's sort of an underdog type, but very resourceful.

i feel like if it had been up to tom/gail/padma instead of those girls on the today show, fabio would've won that challenge.

i also lul'd when jeff was liek i hate cooking for people with unsophisticated palates

 

[OutHouse]

it was a tough call on which of the 3 to kick off the show. Melissa use habereno? wtf?? Jamie undercooked the egg and became hostile. and the other dude made a brule? hahahah

nah dude, definitely alex (that is his name right?)

complete failure at math

cook time + cool time + set time > 1 hour

Hey let's make this anyway

LOL

 

[GasX]

Jamie made a good dish but failed to reproduce it on camera. She also did a poor job of handling the oncooked egg on camera.

Melissa made an inedible dish but completed her segment. She made the additional mistake of defending the habanero

Alex chose to make a dish that cannot be completed in an hour. I can't remember if he completed his segment or not.

Despite the decision on the winner, the judges chose primarily on the food. As Colichio says, it's a cooking competition. They all blew it, but the food speaks the loudest. On that (and imho prior performance) Janie got a pass. So who made the bigger mistake. Choosing too hot of an ingredient or choosing a dish impossible to complete. Melissa made a lame attempt at throwing Alex under the bus without seeming to do so, but ultimately, the guy who made the bigger "chef" mistake went home.

new ep tonight

HAHA - he threw himself under the bus.

So you stand by that dish?

Yes

OK, here are 20 things wrong with it. Do you still like that dish?

Yes

Please pack your knives and go.

OMG, I can't believe they picked me...

Really?

 

[sash1]

new ep tonight

i dvr'd last weeks ep but still haven't watched it yet lol, need to get on that before tonight

 

[sash1]

finally watched it.

wtf at arianne winning, miss india should've won :heart:

and relieved eugene wasn't sent home, but srsly, Mr. New York killed himself at the judges table. he just repeatedly hammered the nail in his own coffin by defending the dish.

yeah dude, guy doesn't know when to give it up. I'm also glad eugene wasn't being sent home, but damn I thought he was a goner.

 

[sash1]

ep now

predicted winner: fabio
predicted loser: (hopefully) arianne

 

[sash1]

fsck, my hope of arianne going home was crushed early

and thank you tom for not sending anyone home, because i was so sure eugene was gonna get axed this week

 

[torpid]

I've seen previous seasons, so maybe I'm just not smart enough to have realized it until now. Why is this show called Top Chef when the thing that can get them eliminated each week would be more aptly named Top Caterer? It is becoming rather ridiculous. The only test of actually useful chef skills have been the quickfire challenges.
