WTH is on Ilan's head??? Suddenly Marcel's hair is a non-issue.




Was wondering the same thing. White hoodie and green head band/wrap??? Is he a boxer now?? Made him REALLY look like an idiot!
gracefulsaviour
I'll say this.

I wouldn't go to ANY of the restaurants that any of these guys opened. Harolds, yes. These clowns? I'm kinda embarrassed for watching the show now, and don't tell people at work.

I think I'd rather be known for watching "Flavor of Love"

Too bad Chef C. has spawned such a terrible show. It's worse than Martha Stewarts Apprentice.

What about the "My Space" account of Marcel
ratting Mikey out about all the six-packs that
they've been hiding with the money that's
left over ? This is the real drama part.

Last season's cast partied too, but, obviously
there's some rule bending that the lynch gang
has done since the first show. They bend the
rules, but, hate Marcel because he ratted them
out on some things.

They're behaving in pack mentality. It brings
out the worse in them, for real. It's scary.
I think Frank was serious, when threatening
the guy, and I think Ilan and Sam suck for
their ignorance and prejudice.

I'd love to see that addressed, if that's what
happens next week.

They're so indignant, but, Marcel is playing
by the rules, not letting the bullying make
him quit, and saw Mike taking vicodans
and beer. It's ridiculous. These guys have
been so rotten to Marcel. They're dead
wrong, imo.






IMO if you are a arrogant ass, which Marcel has been all season, you reap what you sew. Its that simple. There are people in life just like Marcel that you can walk away from and not deal with. Thats not an option for people on this show.

Honestly I am dreaming of a sweet reverse Mohawk for weasel boy. He could win the whole contest and still never live that down. Classic.




Dream away! Whatever floats your boat.
Poor Marcel wanted to cut his hair, at
some point, but, he was supposedly asked
not to, for continuity in production.

If that's funny, to shave this sweet guy's
head, after all the other rotten things
those cruel beer guzzlers have done...

Why so much hate towards Marcel? I swear
I don't see it, at all. He's kind of cool, in his
own sweet way. I don't see arrogance, just
defensiveness when he's attacked.




I'm with you. I don't remember Marcel doing one thing to bring on this unmitigated hate. He's more willing to help out than ANY of the others. After watching week after week, it's difficult to not feel protective about him now. If nothing else, he can take solace in the fact that while the rest of them are looking like unbelievable jerks on national television, he has managed to go from being made out to be the early production villain to the late production underdog that you now feel compelled to pull for, unless you're a juvenile, bullying, thug yourself.




Well Woodsbaker can you tell us where you saw all the raw footage from the show so we can all come to the same educated supported by evidence based opinion?

No thought so...

The contestants on last season said flat out Shrek was way worse then what was shown and 90% of what made them hate her was left off the show.
I believe were seeing the same thing here. Given the build up to next weeks "incident" its obvious they have been editing MC Foamy in a very sympathetic way. I am certain that there is overwhelming evidence why everyone hates him.

Seriously whats more likely. Almost everyone spontaniously Hates Marcel for no reason or He has carried him self in a way that causes the majority of people in a unaturally closed situation to become past fed up with him.

The "Last kid in Dodgeball" comment is evidence of this...
Hell even Elia busted MC Foamy on trying to cop credit for Cliffs BBQ sauce.

I truly do not see why people stand up for marcel let alone like him. He's arrogant self centered and his food doesnt look apetitizing at all. if they wanted to fix people picking someone or them being like marcel. All they would have to do is bring back some of the chefs that were eliminated and judge the ones remaining. if you like marcel or stand up for him i hope you get a cat scan real soon because something is seriously a mis in your brain. I've met and fired many chefs like him but he did say one thing i agree with its not a personality contest judge the cooking not the people. still his cooking is lacking. however i'm ashamed that the judges have kept him as long as they have in the contest. they've had numerous times where he could of been eliminated and by all rights should of been eliminated. especially in the group challenges when you have to work with someone like that, they bring down the overall quality of the product. Mostly because if everyone is at each others throats because of him being arrogant and what not no one is paying attention to the food. coach's have said there is no I in team however one person can cause a team to fail horribly. That is the case with marcel. He should of been sent home a long time ago. Now the other chefs they are all good ilan and sam work in ny i believe sam owns his own resturant. Elia while i do agree she acts as if she has no backbone but i believe shes one of those rare people who are truly good. I also think she cares about everyone so it bothers her. her friendship with marcel scares me makes me think she too has something wrong up stairs. Bottom line marcel shouldnt win period under at circumstances for his behavior or his food. either of them are not top quality in this contest. To restate what i said before who ever stands up for or likes marcel i seriously hope you seek medical attention asap because your not thinking clearly. That or maybe i cant see it from your angle because my head isnt up my ***.




Do you think it's possible to express your opinion without insulting others? Because if not your head is planted firmly up your ***. In addition, because you've been so rude I don't mind telling you that capitalization and punctuation are good tools.

After reading LeeAnn's blog from last week, I
had more confidence in Marcel's actual character,
apart from all the character assassination from
the goons in the hit squad that I think Betty
instigated from Day 1.

Elia doesn't look like she suffers fools, nor does
she gossip, backbite, or prevaricate. I trust her
opinion of Marcel. She worked with him. She liked
him, well enough. That's quite an endorsement, imo.

Good riddance Mikey. The top chef of animal house. The buyer of beer instead of food for a budgeted challenge. The only one who could mess up a steak sandwhich. The cheese doodle in a candy bar master. The trio of white poo poo potato and corn plater-er. The server of cheese after desert. The forgetter of eggs on a breakfast challenge. The king of sloth. The sultan of slop. The parader of panties. The other white meat. Pack your panties and go.

The coaster with dumb luck finally ran out of luck. The only way he could wow anyone was on pain killers. He overstayed his welcome and should have been gone long ago. He really lost me with his true nasty ungrateful manner in the past few weeks. He forgot his eggs and Betty was the first to help him out and get the ball (or egg) rolling for others to help him out too and Mike never missed a moment to diss Betty with cracks about her TGIF soup (jealousy). Like he's a prize full of talent.

And I don't think you ever will. So it goes. People see things differently. And no matter how many of you try to put him down, looks like Marcel has a strong and loyal following. That alone says something.
But you might not be able to see that either. So it goes.

Can't you just feel the negative energy coming from Cliff? Always shows up in the food and service.





Yes and you can bet the diners felt it too. When I go out, of course the food is important, but if the server is a [expletive deleted], that ruins the entire experience.






Totally agree on that Maui! If I get crappy service, I can't hardly stay in my seat. Have been know to walk out if I was left waiting too long.. One time we were seated by THE DISH WASHER!! You KNOW we walked out that time!

Ellia in the end is going to win im telling you, hate her if u must, but she is this seasons harold, she is there for anyone, she never stabs n e one in the back, shes never negative she stays true to the food, and in the end if shes going head ot head with someone in the end, people are going to push for her over the other pople because of the drama, i do see marcel in the end and people doing the same thing they did last season all vote for this seasons harold

LOL. except watching Martha's show was like watching a turtle in a coma. You have to admit that even though it' s become a bit of a carnoval sidesshow, it is entertaining....darkly entertaining, but weirdly, almost a 21st century American morality play.

You mean Master Cook? No matter how many times you say it, Marcel is not a Master Chef. That's a real , recognized title.

Marcel is nothing more than a line cook with an inflated title.




Like I said, whom Marcel works for speaks louder than any of your attempts, and they have been many, to discredit Marcel. You';re almost as obsessed as Ilan. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Have at it.




Yeah so if he is as good as you say why can't he cook chicken safely? Sorry but when the Bird Jockey's at KFC trump you in food service saftey its Game over. Your buddy MC Foamy better work in a establishment that has a good insurance policy.

You're still making the same error. People don't have to agree with you. They can like (and dislike) Marcel and you really don't have the right to say there is something wrong with them or suggest they get a cat scan. Just say, "I don't like Marcel" and leave it at that. Don't insult the people who might be his fans.

I hope they don't do anything unspeakable to Marcel. Sam, and Elan are so sneaky and dirty. Cliff has displayed his bad temper too much for me. He should have been booted tonight.I hope Marcel or Ilia wins.

'

That's so true. I can accept someone liking a
contestant I don't like, without thinking that
I'm more right. My visceral affection is for
Marcel. I think he's cute, and I like him from
this season. Maybe he's a nudge, but, I haven't
seen it.

I think he's a good sport, and one day, he'll
be a Top Chef before Ilan and Sam, any day.

No matter what some think about Marcel,
he's a touchstone for something deep.

I lurk and read a lot on this board but Oh I'm so ticked...I had to post...

Do you know how many times I had to hear Tom say this isn't Top Somiela (okay I don't know how to spell it)...well you know what this ain't Top Blue Light Shopper either...

Mickey went home tonight because he really doesn't have what it takes to end up Top Chef and the others do...but for tonight's performance...

Mikey did more than go shopping GOOD GRIEF!!

Marcel or Sam should of went followed by Cliff...Marcel sent out raw chicken...Gordon Ramsey would have sent him packing with a boot up his arse....Sam didn't keep it together as the leader and came up with that disgusting dessert...I think Cliff did less than Mikey did cooking wise...

RANT OVER!

ARGH! Last night's episode got me so worked up that i HAD to make an account to post and get this off my chest! : (

MERCEL/MARCEL/MICHELLE/WHATEVER SKIPS AWAY UNSCATHED YET AGAIN?!?!

ARGH!!!!!!!!

I was REALLY hoping for Betty because she has a level of moderate professionalism (must come from her owning a catering business, and needing to handle people of all types, but there DEFINITELY was an air of "Stuck-Up-Ness" about her that made her hard to swallow sometimes).

If anything, it should come down to Cliff or Sam when all is said and done, the only 2 that know what they're doing 9x out of 10. Michael, let's face it, EVERYBODY knew he was sliding through.

Judge Tom said it best when he said some of the people in the contest AREN'T "playing to WIN", but instead are playing "NOT to be eliminated THIS TIME".

The rest of these nobody's aren't even good enough to work as short order cooks at a bus station in Boonf*ck, Iraq.

My apologies to the ladies if my use of "f*ck" above was offensive. The show's got me THAT worked up that i don't care anymore about language. Suffice it to say that the show where they eliminate that backwards dipstick Marcel is going to have people dancing in the streets CELEBRATING HIS LOSS!

And that SMUG little SMIRK of his?! UGH! Sam was right. The little twerp needs to go to school and learn how to relate to the other 99% of the world BEYOND his mommy's skirt and the cord that keeps him locked in his room so mommy can keep tabs on her precious li'l dingbat. O: <

And Betty and the rest were right. Marcel needs to "get some" BEFORE he even THINKS about joining this kind of career path. What chef DOESN'T work *PASSION* into his cooking?! Sheez! That's why the kitchen is the most romantic room in the house! And i'm sorry, dripping chocolate ISN'T "passionate", it's "childish". Michael was a FOOL to give that knife to Marcel! It was an EASY *WIN*! WE COULD'VE ELIMINATED MARCEL RIGHT THEN AND THERE! Crap! [Sniffle]

Oh well. He'll screw himself up sooner or later. I just hope it's SOONER than LATER in the game.

Happy Cooking,

The best cook as far as execution and appearence is Sam. I see him winning I used to like cliff but last few episodes we've seen his nasty side, which has made me lose all respect for him. He's as bad as marcel if not worse. I see the top two being Elia and Sam. from there its anyones ball game it all depends on the final challenge. I wonder if michael cooked on vicadin again if he would of done better in this challenge lol. Wasnt insulting was voicing a solid opinion against marcel but if you like him you like him most likely your an arrogant self centered know it all gods gift to earth like him too.

And away they would all go, and good riddance. Behaving like summer camp middle-schoolers. Who'd hire such immature brats?




If immature Marcel can get hired, anyone can get hired.




Let's see...San is out of a job and begging for monmey, Ilan is a line cook at a Tapas bar and Marcel is a master chef working for perhaps the greatest chef living. Speaks for itself.




Someone has probably responded to this, Marcel is a Master Cook not Master Chef.

IMO if you are a arrogant ass, which Marcel has been all season, you reap what you sew. Its that simple. There are people in life just like Marcel that you can walk away from and not deal with. Thats not an option for people on this show.

Honestly I am dreaming of a sweet reverse Mohawk for weasel boy. He could win the whole contest and still never live that down. Classic.

I'm with you. I don't remember Marcel doing one thing to bring on this unmitigated hate. He's more willing to help out than ANY of the others. After watching week after week, it's difficult to not feel protective about him now. If nothing else, he can take solace in the fact that while the rest of them are looking like unbelievable jerks on national television, he has managed to go from being made out to be the early production villain to the late production underdog that you now feel compelled to pull for, unless you're a juvenile, bullying, thug yourself.

There you go again. You were decent right until the end. I don't care one way or the other for Marcel. I don't have a favorite this season. But I don't like the way you're talking about the people who DO like him. I would say the same thing to you if you were talking about Sam, Cliff, Ilan or Elia.

Obviously you're just incapable of understanding or choose not to understand. Oh well. It's pointless to try to teach you any better.

I'm quite aware that it is highly edited "reality" television. I haven't seen a single thing you haven't seen; I'm just saying that, from what we've been shown, it's difficult to fathom the intensity of their reaction. And quite honestly, no matter if he has been more annoying behind the scenes, NOTHING justifies the physical intimidation and screaming, frothing, diatribes he has been subjected to. Period. In my opinion, you are completely misinterpreting the "last kid in dodgeball" comment to suit your own purposes. If anything, he should be getting credit for trying to be nice to Mike and saying he didn't mean anything personal by not choosing him.

Yeah so if he is as good as you say why can't he cook chicken safely? Sorry but when the Bird Jockey's at KFC trump you in food service saftey its Game over. Your buddy MC Foamy better work in a establishment that has a good insurance policy.




Everyone has a bad night. Don't forget Sam made two of the worst dishes tonight...and the watermelon thingy was INEDIBLE even when prepared correctly.

Sorry, but your over the top attacks of Marcel are the proverbial tempest in a teapot. You really sound like you are or are related to Ilan or Betty or another of the pack, which is quite possible, but doesn't really matter.

The brat pack under Queen meanie Betty have amply demonstrated their immaturity and that's why I think they don't like Marcel...yes, he has poor social skills..it's part of who he is...but he isn't intentionally malacious, cruel or vindictive, which all the remaining chefs have been with the exception of Elia.

You Marcel haters can trumpet night and day, but the evidence just ain't there and cooler heads see that.

The best cook as far as execution and appearence is Sam. I see him winning I used to like cliff but last few episodes we've seen his nasty side, which has made me lose all respect for him. He's as bad as marcel if not worse. I see the top two being Elia and Sam. from there its anyones ball game it all depends on the final challenge. I wonder if michael cooked on vicadin again if he would of done better in this challenge lol. Wasnt insulting was voicing a solid opinion against marcel but if you like him you like him most likely your an arrogant self centered know it all gods gift to earth like him too.




Ouch..that was a little harsh...

I like Flava Flav...but that doesnt mean I walk around in puple leopard pimp hats with oversized clocks around my neck...




But...I do say BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I think the shaving of the head is wrong. I think that a prank is pulled on marcell he gets upset with w.e happens to him, then at the end they all go to the judges table except for marcel and have their knives packed saying, "marcel goes or all of us go" just my opinion




And away they would all go, and good riddance. Behaving like summer camp middle-schoolers. Who'd hire such immature brats?




If immature Marcel can get hired, anyone can get hired.




Let's see...San is out of a job and begging for monmey, Ilan is a line cook at a Tapas bar and Marcel is a master chef working for perhaps the greatest chef living. Speaks for itself.




Someone has probably responded to this, Marcel is a Master Cook not Master Chef.




Thanks. I didn't know that. I think Marcel's future
is bright. No matter what happens next, he really
got a fan base, first for the horrifying treatment
he got, and then because he was able to rise above
it, even letting it challenge him. He's top notch.

I truly do not see why people stand up for marcel let alone like him. He's arrogant self centered and his food doesnt look apetitizing at all. if they wanted to fix people picking someone or them being like marcel. All they would have to do is bring back some of the chefs that were eliminated and judge the ones remaining. if you like marcel or stand up for him i hope you get a cat scan real soon because something is seriously a mis in your brain. I've met and fired many chefs like him but he did say one thing i agree with its not a personality contest judge the cooking not the people. still his cooking is lacking. however i'm ashamed that the judges have kept him as long as they have in the contest. they've had numerous times where he could of been eliminated and by all rights should of been eliminated. especially in the group challenges when you have to work with someone like that, they bring down the overall quality of the product. Mostly because if everyone is at each others throats because of him being arrogant and what not no one is paying attention to the food. coach's have said there is no I in team however one person can cause a team to fail horribly. That is the case with marcel. He should of been sent home a long time ago. Now the other chefs they are all good ilan and sam work in ny i believe sam owns his own resturant. Elia while i do agree she acts as if she has no backbone but i believe shes one of those rare people who are truly good. I also think she cares about everyone so it bothers her. her friendship with marcel scares me makes me think she too has something wrong up stairs. Bottom line marcel shouldnt win period under at circumstances for his behavior or his food. either of them are not top quality in this contest. To restate what i said before who ever stands up for or likes marcel i seriously hope you seek medical attention asap because your not thinking clearly. That or maybe i cant see it from your angle because my head isnt up my ***.



Sorry but after all of that I would check cause your own head really might be up your own ass.

Do you think it's possible to express your opinion without insulting others? Because if not your head is planted firmly up your ***. In addition, because you've been so rude I don't mind telling you that capitalization and punctuation are good tools.




Yeah. That post was like one big run-on sentence of hostility.

I'm amazed at the lack of English skills even in BB's. Our schools truly are failing us if this is what's graduating.




Honestly, as a struggling Lesdyxic, I'll never poke fun or point out grammatical errors or spelling. To me its just not worth the time, especially when there are other more creative ways of snarking at people. ; )

First Scientifically people tend to hang around with people of the same personality. So if you like marcel you have the same personality most likely. That was what i was driving at also dressing up like someone or wearing a clock not even a good comparison to marcel. People wonder why americans are so rude looking at you people backing up that arrogant ass marcel i guess we know why this country is falling further into the toilet.

And I don't think you ever will. So it goes. People see things differently. And no matter how many of you try to put him down, looks like Marcel has a strong and loyal following. That alone says something.
But you might not be able to see that either. So it goes.





And David Hasselhoffs Musicial Career has a strong a loyal following as well. So whats your favorite Album? lol.




I'm glad you see the weaknes of the popularity argument because it undercits your major thesis which is ...if all the other chefs hate Marcel, something must be wrong with him. Well, thanks for disproving your own argument. Watch Stalag 17 some time...all about mob mentality. Pretty close to what this season is all about.

Seriously. Some new posters are reacting to
a show that I don't know if they even watched.
They seem like they take this more personally
than we do.... with a betty/frank mob agenda

It's sick. If these people behave so abominably
while cameras are rolling, what the heck kind
of mean bullies are they in real life?

I was honestly not making fun. I wouldn't do that. I thought that maybe I could point out that he was being...extreme...in his post. But obviously he's not seeing it.
KINJIRU
HUH?

Marcel has been doing *NOTHING* to help ANYONE but HIMSELF!

Betty's dessert he turned from a creme brul'e (sp?) into a burnt muck because he "wanted to help". And when he bitched about that stupid deepfryer at the fire house?! Why?! THINGS GO WRONG, POINDEXTER! YOU ADAPT, EVOLVE, OR GET ELIMINATED! PERIOD! So what does he do instead? Makes a stink to try and boink up Betty's cooking. SERVES HIM RIGHT THAT BETTY WON ANYWAY! : )

HA!

Stupid loser. Marcel needs a diaper, not a patula!

SO I'LL REVIEW A BIT LATER

SEE YA ALL GANG!!!!!!!!!

ALOHA

Woah,
the next episode looks crazy. First it's top Chef White Rapper with marcel, next week it's Top Chef Real World.





For the life of me I can't remember WHERE, but I swear I read somewhere that Elia (and maybe others) shaves her head. Cliff said something about "it was just a joke" or something similar to that... wonder if Ilan puts Nair in Marcel's shampoo which makes him go bald, then Elia shaves her head in support?

Okay... that was a stretch of the imagination I know... but BBB said its WACK!!!!!






A stretch, maybe. But don't be too sure. What ever happens, there are more than one person with it done to them from the look on the judges faces.

I was REALLY hoping for Betty because she has a level of moderate professionalism (must come from her owning a catering business, and needing to handle people of all types, but there DEFINITELY was an air of "Stuck-Up-Ness" about her that made her hard to swallow sometimes).





No one of any professionalism at 40+ years of age would ever say to another person "Whatever makes you fail is fair." Betty revealed her utter lack of professionalism and desperate unhappiness in that one moment. I doubt she'll ever live down her cruelty. Unless she apologizes of course.
