what a bunch of whiny bitches this season. listening to ashley whine about having to cook for a wedding when she is a lesbian and cant get married pissed me off. They need to leave politics out of cooking shows.

The two brothers and kevin are solid. none of the women impress me.

it's funny that the dykes were in the "bottom 4"

I think the one that went home deserved it, she seemed kinda unstable and she's what 40 years old?

Ashley overdid that shit with her political butthurt opinions.

IMO the finalists will be Kevin, Jennifer, and both Voltaggios.

Yeah, the whole politics things was irritating to me too. It felt like they were making a pretty big leap in an attempt to even make their issue relevant.

The guys rocked that competition, and it was good to see the brothers compete so well.

Blame the editors and directors for this crap. Obviously the show has an agenda and that is to put gay people in the spotlight. I'm sure there were another 100 story lines they could have expanded on but the gays and their whinyness won out.

I'm not sure how you become a chef and expect to never be involved in the weddding industry - think of all the catering and parties held at restaraunts every year.

The dueling brothers are my pick to end up in the finals. This years cast of characters seems week - the brothers and the Haitian dude are fun to watch and listen to but aside from that the rest of em seem way too whiny.

Was it really than onerous a burden to listen to a lesbian make a very fair, relevant, and brief point about marriage inequality? Sure, in the end she has to suck it up for her career, but you really think that all three of the gays on the show should've subserviently keep their heads down during a time when they can address the biggest audience that they will ever have? It's not like she was whining to the bride and groom.

I have no problem with homosexuals, and I have no problem with homosexuals getting married (or divorced).

I think that whining and going all drama about others being allowed to marry isn't relevant to why these folks are on this show, and it's certainly not why I'm watching.

Then again, you might be on to something. None of those who were whining have shown much talent in the kitchen. Perhaps they're on the show just to spotlight their agenda.


Characterizing this conversation as a suggestion that they "should've subserviently keep their heads down" is as relevant as those on the show whining about their politics.

if showing the chefs just having discussions was not relevant to the show, you should write to the producers and tell them. they obviously include this chit-chat in it as part of the show. it is, after all, also a show about personalities.

If you can't deal with a few minutes about gay people, stop watching Bravo.

I'm thinking Jennifer and the brothers stand out. My other favorite is the overly-bearded Kevin.

I think that pulling that cocky guy into the losers bracket was funny as hell. I'm glad that they sent the boy home.

It's not like they devoted 30 minutes to discussing gay marriage. I thought she overreacted, but they also showed the other gay chef telling her to deal with it.

Agreed on all points.

I'm pretty sure at some point the brothers will be at each other's throats. They seem highly, highly competitive with one another. I can't wait for the soft spoken one to explode.

I also find Jennifer hot. I guess maybe I'm realizing I like a woman who gives orders.

Padma as usual was dressed to make me salivate for her instead of the food.

I could introduce you to my wife. :p

I hope over talkative Mike the guido gets sent home soon. French guy too, that neckerchief thing irritates me for some reason.

I think older brother wins out over younger, younger is too much of a hothead.

My guess at final three is older brother, Kevin and Jennifer.

I was kinda disappointed that the judges didn't say anything about how Jennifer ran the kitchen this week - I mean, I know she had immunity, but come on - there was virtually no drama in the kitchen in that episode.
