I will say that the first season had the 'heat' style competition so you didn't get to know the chefs like you do now..so it's a toss up for me. I'm still gonna watch it b/c TC Texas left me cold. |

Caught a marathon of Top Chef: Just Desserts today. Gail Simmonds is there as a judge. What a NOT shock, a guy won, even though IMO it was obvious the female left standing, Sally, was the best. Throughout the seasons I watched Top Chef, I wished a woman would win ... only once in nine seasons, when Richard Blais said out loud "I choked" did the prize go to a woman, Stephanie. Eventually I couldn't watch it anymore. I felt that Tom Colicchio wouldn't let a woman win. His was the loudest voice and he was the least kind or remorseful -- I just felt it. Nevertheless, seeing Gail in action on this show? In one show two women were eliminated! And down to the finale only one woman and two men ... so fine. But when they go through the four elements and Sally wins two of them, is tied for another, and "loses" because she used one of her sous chefs more than they thought she should ... I mean, what the fuck is the reason for giving them help, but to use it? I'm looking at you, Gail Simmonds. You suck. |

Kerrie is growing on me. I couldn't put my finger on why I hated Patricia until she had the run in with Lorena a few weeks ago...but the knockout challenge she was just insufferable. Sorry to see Takashi go. |

Me too. Takashi seems like such a nice guy. I'm biased because I know Kerrie personally. He is just a really nice guy. Don't think he's said a bad word about anyone - has he? Sweet person, super chef. I would like a woman to win masters. To my knowledge there hasn't been one yet. I don't know how big these chefs are. Kerrie is pretty big here but the rest I never heard of at all. I assume it's just because I haven't been into the food scene lately and of course you know chefs in your own area more than you would elsewhere disregarding the TV chefs and someone like Wolfgang puck. I knew a ton of the chefs they brought on to judge on Hell's kitchen. They were really famous worldwide. |

I was broken-hearted when Art Smith got sent home. He's the only one I was interested in watching. |

Yep, Art looked good...I couldn't put my finger on it until they showed his goodbye package and realized he'd lost a lot of weight since I last saw him. ICY - you are tuned into the anti female TC allegations right? Do you think they are rigging it for Patricia and Loreana show down to kinda redeem that? Sucks for Kerrie, but I Patricia's staying twice now with questionable food seems shady. First the under cooked dish and then beating a 5 time quickfire winner. Something's rotten in Denmark on this one. |

LOL ... I'm not sure. I don't think they can fuck around with actual professional celebrity chefs. But yeah, the march against a female winner on the regular Top Chef continues with Paul's win in TX. |

Patricia out - I can officially stop sneering at the screen. Bitch can take her superior knife skills and 'wealth of culinary knowledge' and get to stepping. Can you tell I hated her. |

Charley - your boy is in the finale. Have you seen the promo for the 'after the show' series. Blech. Could they have picked the most odious chefs to profile.. Fabio - can't stand him. Spike - meh. Blais - meh leaning toward hate. And then there's Jen. She needs to take the horsetail off. She's the fugliest pretty woman I've ever seen. it's just bizarre. She has the makings of being attractive I guess, but when it's put together it's very ugly. Not to mention I don't care for her attitude. |

LOL...saw a preview for the next show and Tom says sagely "You don't want to be the one who doesn't make it into the top 5". Really, Tom? Is that how this works? |

Haha andme...I had to go back and re-read my post. I do entertain myself every once and awhile. Lol. Re top chef. This season just needs to be over. Josie hung around way too long just so they could have the drama of last chance kitchen imo. |

It's so boring this season. I think the show is just getting stale. Does anyone know why they have repeat top chef contestants? I found that weird. Maybe there aren't enough good chefs who want to be on the show. |
