Who is packing their knives tonight on Top Chef?

[davsand]

I didn't see a Top Chef thread yet, so I went ahead and started one.


Who do you think is going home tonight? I think we will see either Lisa or Spike go. How about you?

1. I'm thinking Lisa

She talks a great game, but the past two episodes have not shown much skill, IMO.

I love Restaurant Wars!!!

[Flaxbee]

2. I'm thinking Lisa, too - she is so sullen and pouty -

or maybe Dale, if he goes bonkers.

[davsand]

3. I think they keep the assholes for drama.

Honest to Pete, I think they keep the jerks on just to keep it interesting on that show. Look at Hung and Marcel! I thought Marcel did some awful sounding food, but he was just such a jerk that everybody tuned in so they could dislike him. Same thing with Howie last season--except they DID finally boot him.

I think after Lisa's tantrum in the last show about her rice getting "messed with" is gonna be her undoing.


:popcorn:

4. Pissy Pants Lisa is my pick NOT to click and go home.

[Ekirh]

5. LET THE SHOW BEGIN!! N/T

[GOPisEvil]

6. Short order egg cooking?

Yikes. I'd rather make a souffle.

[Fox Mulder]

7. I hope it's Spike or Lisa.

[Ekirh]

8. No Tom at the elimination challenge???

Hmmmmmmm

[GOPisEvil]

9. Antonia seemed the most comfortable with the challenge.

Good for her.

[GOPisEvil]

10. Too bad Andrew isn't here to declare he has a culinary hard-on.

:eyes:

[Fox Mulder]

19. He's there now!

:rofl:

Aww...no one picked him. :(

[GOPisEvil]

21. Well, if he made pasta, he'd have gotten picked.

[bullwinkle428]

11. YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!! Lil' Hung gets Lisa & Spike again!!

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

12. Uh oh! Bourdain is a judge!

Yikes! :rofl:

[Ekirh]

13. I knew Tom not being there wasn't going to bode well

For the competitors HA!

[GOPisEvil]

14. Spike is lucky he's in the front of the house.

:D

[Ekirh]

15. Sooo Many Bhuddas!!!

Briased Short Ribs mmmmmmmm

[Fox Mulder]

16. Oh no...

the chefs are in trouble now. Bourdain is there.

[GOPisEvil]

17. Oh no - Bourdain takes his laksa seriously.

Look out Lisa! :D

[Fleshdancer]

18. I love Bourdain

I don't care what anyone else says...that man cracks me up.

[Ekirh]

20. Who let those losers in here?

:P

Jen and Nikki are the choices for help.

[GOPisEvil]

22. Smart move tasting the food first.

Grit in the clams is not good.

[johnnie]

23. Lisa's talking about other people's poor attitudes

:spray:

[GOPisEvil]

24. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

[Fox Mulder]

25. Dale looks like he starts freaking out after the break.

[GOPisEvil]

26. Drama!!!

:thumbsup:

I'm not sure that guy is cut out to be a head chef. The head chef can't freak out like that.

[Fox Mulder]

27. I don't think anyone on that team is fit to be in charge.

Maybe Spike...but not Lisa or Dale.

[GOPisEvil]

28. Agreed.

I'm not sure I'd hire Dale or Lisa either. I'd hire Spike. At least he works hard.

[GOPisEvil]

29. So far so good for Team Harmony.

:D

[GOPisEvil]

30. Ouch - I feel like I'm in the back of Prince's van!

[GOPisEvil]

31. Here we go: Team Discord blowing up.

[Fox Mulder]

33. Yeah, they're imploding.

:nuke:

[Fox Mulder]

32. I wish I could reach into the tv and punch Dale.

Really.

He's the fuckin' idiot.

[GOPisEvil]

34. Ouch - ATROCITY?!

Damn Padma!

[bullwinkle428]

35. Oh yeah...the guest judge calls them out for their bad attitude!!

About fucking time!

[GOPisEvil]

36. I feel better about my Lisa prediction.

Dale provides drama and he CAN cook. Lisa's cooking isn't as good, and she's negative as hell.

[Fox Mulder]

37. Antonia, Stephanie, and Richard had the winning team.

Of course.

And the winner is Stephanie. :)

[Ekirh]

38. No surprise there. .

They really did a great job.

And Stephanie gets the indie win!!!

[Fox Mulder]

40. No surprise at all.

[GOPisEvil]

39. Stephanie wins!!

A culinary tour to Spain! Barcelona! CAN I BE YOUR GUEST?! PLEASE!!!!!

[Fox Mulder]

41. That would be a sweet trip.

[GOPisEvil]

42. Yikes!

Seriously, yikes!!

[Fox Mulder]

43. Wow...they're getting drilled.

I've never seen anyone get a beating like this on Top Chef before.

[GOPisEvil]

46. This is a beatdown.

Ouch.

[Ekirh]

44. Baby Food garnish with poutpourri?

OWWWWW!!!

[PVnRT]

86. That was a SICK burn. +1 to the customer who wrote it down.

[johnnie]

45. This is great

:rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

47. Spike was the smart one on that team.

[GOPisEvil]

50. He knew better that to be anywhere near the kitchen.

Plus, his dish was the ONE that tasted good.

[Fox Mulder]

54. Even though he didn't make it.

[GOPisEvil]

57. It was his recipe, and he started it off.

But seriously, if that's the best you can say about your team, it wasn't a good night.

[bullwinkle428]

48. That butterscotch sauce was like ice-cream syrup!!

:puke: on scallops!

[Fox Mulder]

49. It looked really horrible.

[GOPisEvil]

51. That doesn't even SOUND appetizing.

[johnnie]

52. Yeah that's pretty bad

I would have thought Salvadore Dahli was in the back cookin'.

[1]

53. oh, it has to be lisa...

please...

[Fox Mulder]

55. I think so too.

[Fox Mulder]

56. Who'll be the fan favorite this year?

I'm guessing Stephanie.

[GOPisEvil]

59. I agree.

She's pleasant and is a great cook.

[Fleshdancer]

58. I don't think it's fair to limit them to one grocery store

If you owned a restaurant that served asian food, many of your ingredients would not come from the typical grocery store.

[GOPisEvil]

60. Yeah, but it's Whole Foods.

[Fleshdancer]

66. I didn't realize that

Is it always Whole Foods? Even for the ridiculous challenges where they can only spend $15?

[GOPisEvil]

68. I believe so.

I think Whole Foods is a sponsor.

[Ekirh]

61. AND THE PERSON PACKING THEIR KNIVES IS!!!!!!

DALE!!!! HE'S GONE!

[Fox Mulder]

62. Dale is going home????

Damn.

[Fleshdancer]

63. WHAT????

:wow:

That's not who I thought was going to go

[qanda]

70. I am shocked!

[GOPisEvil]

64. Whoa! Mini-Hung is gone?!?!

:wow:

[bicentennial_baby]

65. Wow. Goodbye Hung V. 2.0

:bounce:

[bullwinkle428]

67. WOW!!! I don't believe it!

He's really affected by this...damn, now he's making me feel sorry for him!

[johnnie]

69. Lisa has pictures of Padma I bet

She should have been sent home every week.

[bullwinkle428]

77. Maybe she can PM those pictures to me?

[Fox Mulder]

71. Every year it's always been the executive chef who has gone home...

on the losing team.

It makes sense now.

[Shakespeare]

72. Ah, good observation!!

[1]

73. lisa. so wrong on so many levels...

my only hope now is that lisa will win the whole thing.

she is so bad and negative that it's sort of like my "vote for the worst."


boo. top chef.

boo.

[Fox Mulder]

74. I hope she goes home next week...

and not someone like Richard or Stephanie.

[davsand]

75. Oh, exactly! I just want to see her leave!

I was SO pissed to see Dale booted because HE was the one in the kitchen telling Lisa how to save those dishes and she STILL screwed them up! She couldn't even follow directions! I dunno about anyone else, but I almost felt like she was working to screw Dale after he ended up as Exec Chef.

Dale was a jerk, no doubt. Lisa is not just a jerk but she is just SO willing to mess people over. I really hope she's next to go.



Laura

[Fox Mulder]

79. I'm sure she'll most likely be the next one to go.

Then it'll be Spike.

After that, I have no idea. I'd love to see any of the other three chefs in the top two spots. Stephanie and Richard over Antonia, and I can see Stephanie winning Top Chef season four.

[1]

78. lisa can't win...

steph or richard (maybe ant) are the only chefs that have any chance at this, at this point.

but i liked dale and i wish he had been given more of a shot. definitely more worthy than spike.

whatever.

its a television show. and i'm not going to get overly upset about nothing...

[fishwax]

84. actually, I think it was Miguel who went home on Season One Restaurant Wars

because he let the other two chefs run over him and didn't voice his opinion enough ...

[Fox Mulder]

85. Ah, yes, you're right.

[Richardo]

76. I just got caught up - Steph will win the whole enchilada

...and good riddance to Andrew and Dale - Spike, you're next, mofo.

[Beaverhausen]

80. I think Antonia might win

So glad Dale is gone baby, gone!

[Richardo]

81. A reference to my recent favorite movie and a Dennis Lehane novel - you're my new best friend

:hi:

Plus: good riddance to Dale, you mini-Hung. :D

[Beaverhausen]

82. LOL!! That was a great film, wasn't it

but we digress. I think they keep Lisa there cause it's fun watching her stand with her arms crossed at judges table! I want to see her go postal on them!

[Richardo]

83. She's out next week is my prediction

She's been on thin ice for two weeks...
