Just to get this back about the food....
I found this interesting from Tom's EW interview.
EW: What was the worst thing you tasted all season?
TC: Something that Marcel made. It could've been a Quickfire challenge. It was clam and, like, hearts of palm and something else. Clams when they're room temperature and warm, they're disgusting. And that's how they were. They were just gross.
EW: Best thing?
TC: It could've been the fideos dish that Ilan made last night, the toasted pasta. It was really good, really, really flavorful. That's what comes to mind.
And for those of you judging at home the Clams, hearts of Palm and Coconut was the dish that Amazon tried to mistakenly blame on Cliff...
Amazon, come admit your mistake, or do you have the courage of a pigmy?
A few of the chefs have said that in QF the heat and the lights make the food terrible after awhile.....That whole process takes way longer than we see...By the time Tom gets there it's not what it was supposed to be originally..I am honestly not defending his dish just because it's Marcel ...It may well have been gross....I would have said that for any chef.
Miss Savant 2007 has to be fair and impartial....lol
Yes Siz ...We can be co/ Miss Savants 2007
You did by rights get to the top first..Even if you did sleep with all the judges to get there...I will overlook that...If we need each other and cannot fufill our duties we will step in for one another.
Our first project as co Miss Savants of 2007????
Lets see if we can my arse out of that bus door why don't we???
It's killing me....Heeeeeeelp!Where's Paula with that damn butter???
And then we get JUSTME to be just a wee bit less shy ...lol
After that...we party like it's 1999..After all... we are pageant winners.
Woooooohooooooo
Debauchery.... dancing ......and Donald!
Hey Kristl, I have no problem sharing the MISS SAVANT 2007 title, however, I do resemble that remark about "sleeping my way to the top". AND, because you choose to ignore my methods of sculdugery, I will not be sharing the video of the climb to the top!! AND, boy are you missing something!!!! It was an amazing feat, so many judges, so few orafices...LOL

Thanks for posting that, K...and I agree with the idea that Bravo, in a CYA move, made Marcel out to be the bad guy early on.
It bothers me, too, to read the "blame the victim" mentality going on. I, like the author of the post you quoted, don't look at people the same way after they've done it.
Also, as I said in a previous post, when going to school--because of my height and basic Amazon nature--I was always one of the first (and usually the first) to step in to protect someone who was being picked on. I later became friends with some of the victims and, believe me, the experience of being singled out for abuse, especially by a gang of peers, is something they carry with them for a long time. It also makes other people in their peer group look at the victim different, too...unless they themselves have been bullied, it's easy (especially for school-age kids) to look at the victim and think "Something must be wrong with them."
I think part of that is that they want to convince themselves that they could never become one of the bullies' victims...that there was something aberrant with the bullies' victim(s) to trigger the bullies' assault(s).
Anyway, thanks for posting that.
So Amazon you going to admit you were wrong in calling me a liar or are you going to wollow in a Foam of hypocracy that only an oxycontin drowned Rush Limbaugh could appreciate.

I wonder who, if any, of the original chefs might have stood up for Marcel that awful night. Certainly, not Betty. Maybe Mia or Josie.
High school curriculum should now include reading Lord of the Flies followed by watching episode 2 of Top Chef. You don't have to be marooned on an island.....
I'm sure both Mia and Josie would have. In fact, Josie looks like she could put Cliff in a full nelson and move in for the pin.

I just found this post on TWOP and I godda tell you...I think we have been set up ..They had a story to piece together and
from day one...it has been Marcel is a deeeek.
Finally, as a former crisis counselor, I would like to suggest that those of you who have not experienced sexual assault first hand to think twice before making this comparison. There is a very big difference between being physically constrained and physically penetrated. Some survivors of such an experience might find the comparison upsetting.
Actually, I have been assaulted. While I never compared this incident to rape here, on the boards, I have had no problems with those who did.
Because when I watched the scene, it reminded me of my assault. Except I did not have onlookers cheering the assault on.
It was many years ago. But I can assure you that something inside of me died that day and never came back. The funny thing is that after the attack (it was early morning) I went to work and acted like nothing happened. It wasn't because I have a disorder. It was because I went into complete denial and was unable to face it. I just wanted to move on - I was so humilated that I could not deal with it. I didn't want to talk to anyone about it, especially after I had told someone close to me and they inferred that I was partly to blame.
BRAVO has been doing damage control from episode 1. They showed us saying that Marcel was not there to make friends with anyone. I now know he made that statement after the attack. Last night he was shown talking about going to Hawaii, wearing the same brown shirt and with the same background. These two snippets were taken from the same interview.
Bravo was setting us up with the "I am not here to make friends". Because they did not want us to like Marcel. That would taint the image of the golden ones. So they went to every length and gathered all the incriminating images of Marcel. So we would not like him either.
They set us up so people would feel that this was OK. It breaks my heart more than I can say right now. It is no different than a defense lawyer telling the jury that the victim deserved to be raped because she was in the alley at 5am in her nightgown taking out the trash.
Bravo even manipulated the time sequence of that whole evening. To make it look like the head shaving started before the attack on Marcel.
It is so disturbing that they tried to manipulate us into accepting this.
Today, one of my co-workers thought it fitting to bring up the fact that Marcel punched the camera and was wrong in doing so.
I will never look at my co-worker the same. I hope that he is never dragged out of his bed in the middle of the night and put into a chokehold, and then be expected to not react.
But no matter how annoying I am sure to find this co-worker in the future. It does not occur to me to rally my friends here to ostracize and humiliate him. And I don't have visions of choking him either. I just feel really sad and don't want to be around him so much anymore.
HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Actor, just grabbing on here.
Jazzie,
Because of the ice storms here in St. Louis, I haven't been online as much as I would like. I haven't even been able to catch up on this epi. So I just read Actors post replying about your mom.
I'm so sorry for you & your family. I am lucky that both my parents are still here, but there have been times that we doubted that they would "make it through the night."
Your mother was indeed fortunate to have children who loved her enough to honor her wishes and be allowed to pass on the way she wanted. But then you were fortunate to have a mother who loved her children enough not to make them suffer through a long drawn out process.
As hard as it is, take comfort in the fact she loved all of you and left an amazing example for you to follow. It sounds like she truly loved life and her family.
My prayers are with you.
Zip/Pam

I've been a TC fan and I have to concur my disappointment with this episode. I'm an arist and foodie and really enjoy the creativity of the challenges. Certainly Marcel was oppinionated but I don't get why he was so hated. This episode was a complete downer. How embarassing for the judges to have this kind of behavior displayed in front of Chef Ripert.
All I can say is Ilan and Elia are very lucky that they are such good looking people. I sincerly hope Elia donated her hair to Locks for Love.
Elia has proven to be just as shallow as the other idiots on this show, so I am sure she just threw the hair in the garbage, kind of like the careers of these yahoos.

My wife and I talked about Padma one night. Padma doesn't understand that a truely beautiful woman doesn't need to let it all hang out to be sexy. Often less is more. Gail has that classic understated beauty. She looks good in almost anything. But, that black dress in this episode shows she knows how to dress sexy and not slutty. Padma was just hanging out there. I'm surprised she didn't catch cold. <grin>
I admit 20 years ago... slutty was totally my thing. But as you get mature you start to realize beauty is a lot more than bare skin. Women are such wonderful vibrant creatures. I love to see them smile, laugh, take care of their children and still find time for their careers. I don't know where they find the energy. But, I'm glad they do.

Holster - Thank you for the link, shocking. Also, thank you for the other links you’ve posted, such as one to the article from NewYorkmetro.com, Marcel Doesn’t Love Joël Robuchon That Much - New York Magazine’s Daily Intelligencer. Again, shocking!
I laughed out loud when I read that article. Who says Ilan isn't funny. lol.
You know WAJ..There wa stime in my life that I might have found that funny...But as I get older my tolerance for that kind of humor is just not there anymore....I do think Borat was hysterical because of how brilliantly he mocked peeps who do think this could be funny.....I abhor Jackass...I think it is the basest form of 'comedy' there is..yet at 22 I might have liked it....(prolly not but I wuld have liked other things I wouldn't now)...Making fun of peeps has never been funny to me..I was made fun of pretty badly..It hurts A LOT.....Like maybe forever !!! I'm gonna give Ilan this one cause he's young......but what an idjut he makes himself out to be...This is another from TWOP that stuck out.Sorry...my brain ain't working and these peeps are saying what I wish I could.
As much as everyone is geting hot and angry at each other....these kinds of discussions are good all around.
.maybe....just maybe we will be kinder to someone today.Maybe we all can learn just from how many react here..try and see all sides....Sorry..I LOVE the fact that Marcel is leading in fan fave..His enemies may have just handed him 10 grand..What poetric justice!!! Like Tom said...GROW UP..You don't like someone.... ignore them.
You get older..you have kids..you see your kids getting bullied or made fun of..You don't tolerate it anymore.
You don't have to say things like this about a person you don't like..it is WAY not mature.
TWOP
Why? It has been shown, time and again, that when asked WHAT Marcel did to justify their behavior, NONE of these pricks can come up with a decent answer. Or even a specific thing that Marcel did. Or ANYTHING. What's Ilan worst Marcel moment? According to an interview it's when he accused Marcel of having wet dreams about Joel Roubechon and Marcel didn't have a witty comeback. Seriously, when asked, that's what Ilan says the worst moment was. He insulted Marcel and Marcel didn't have a comeback.
These people are sick and I totally believe that they ganged up for what amounts to no reason at all.

January 19, 2007 - 11:36 AM
Just a couple of things before I forget again...
1) The Epiphany Restaurant. Once I saw the restaurant more fully, I realized that I'm quite familiar with it...under a couple of different names, but it's the same restaurant.
Let me say that viewers didn't get a good idea of how freaking dinky the galley is in that restaurant. Just my opinion here, but the restaurant was an inappropriate choice for the challenge based just on that fact. It's one thing to serve a restaurant full of people who are at different stages in their dining, but to try to serve 5 courses all at the same time to 30 people, from that small galley--really unfair to the chefs.
This is the kind of galley it is: if a patron wants to use the bathroom, they have to walk through the kitchen to get there. I kid you not. Not only that, you have to walk behind the dishwasher and, for you to get by, the dishwasher has to move.
I knew the restaurant under different names, but from viewing the footage it's clear that the galley has not been enlarged.
2) I don't know if anybody else has mentioned this, but it really made me uncomfortable to watch the assault scene in this episode, for several reasons.
First and foremost, it was terrible to watch a huge, muscular man attack a smaller sleeping man. I mean--that is when we are the most vulnerable, is when we are sleeping. Marcel trusted this gang enough to go to sleep in a place where they would have access to him, and they rewarded his trust by assaulting him.
Second, it was horrible to watch it actually occur, to see Marcel struggle, and to know he felt angry, betrayed, and as if he didn't have a friend in the world. There was Ilan and Sam within feet of the assault, and Ilan was freaking FILMING IT, Sam doing nothing but laughing and, after the assault was over, ordering Ilan to chase Marcel into the room to which Marcel had fled.
Third, it was horrible to watch the Lord-of-the-Flies mentality of Cliff, Sam, Ilan and Elia unfold. We watched these people on our TVs for months now, thought we knew enough of them to assume they would be above anything like this. To watch Cliff manhandle Marcel to the ground and continue his assault even after Marcel told him repeatedly to stop...to know Ilan was filming it...to know Sam was laughing and then encouraging the humiliating to continue...to know Elia (the two-faced UberChristian) could hear/see what was happening, could have stopped it and didn't, but instead just laughed maniacally. These people are not fit to be top chefs, to be on the Top Chef show, or fit to work in a restaurant kitchen where diners' health could be harmed if their Lord-of-the-Flies moral character was triggered again.
Fourth, it was maddening and frustrating because there was nothing I could do to stop it. It's not my nature to watch an assault occur without stepping in. So to watch the gang assault on Marcel and be powerless to stop it--a terrible experience for me and, I would bet, many other viewers.
While I would sit down right now and watch Season #1 again, start to finish, I doubt I'll ever watch Season #2 again, especially this episode and the others where Marcel was set up on by the gang. TC says that their numbers are huge this season, but that is what TC says. I can't imagine that their unprofessional production hackery has not triggered the same aversion to watching the episodes more than once in others--and that cuts in on their ad revenue.
I really don't know why the TC show is going on to Season #3. For more of this *hit? I wonder what caliber of guest judges they will get for Season #3, and what caliber of advertisers they will be able to sign on, especially have this latest episode.

Hey Kristl, I have no problem sharing the MISS SAVANT 2007 title, however, I do resemble that remark about "sleeping my way to the top". AND, because you choose to ignore my methods of sculdugery, I will not be sharing the video of the climb to the top!! AND, boy are you missing something!!!! It was an amazing feat, so many judges, so few orafices...LOL
WELL..Hmmmph...I TRIED to sleep my way to the top but
the judges kept saying sumpthin' about that crazy wild sexy
girl named Sizzler and man did she Sizzle who was sooooo good NOONE could ever compete.
I got ferklempt and ran out of the room knee

We've talked the Marcel thing to death.
How about discussing some of the better things in the show?
This was the first show that we've seen Gail dressed to the nines. All season Padma has strutted around in those revealing costumes. But, she got put to shame in this episode. Gail was just stunning. That's all you can say.
I get so tired of those skinny, underfed barbie dolls that we usually see on these shows. It's nice to see a real woman for a change.
S-puppet
I was thrilled to read that not only did Padma eat all of Ilan's dish that she was served, but she also finished off Eric's plate, too.
It's refreshing to know that barbie dolls eat, too!
They also purge, too. Don't know if that is the case with Padma, but she can't eat like that on a regular basis and still be as slim as she is.
As Tyra Banks' mother said, it's an unbeautiful part of the beautiful modeling business.

I think Gail is really good at dressing appropriately for the environment of the challenge/dining experience. She's dressed fancy before, and she looked great. However, I totally agree--she really was stunning in the last episode.
LOL what no stripper pole shots at Padma, Amazon? Your seriously slipping.

Padma doesn't strike me as the voodoo type at all...but Betty, whoa! I can picture her sitting alone in the dark with about 35 cats at her feet, drinking curdled Bailey's and lime (just to prove that the judge was wrong), with a pot of asparagus and lawn clippings burning on the stove, while she's shoving pins into a doll with Marcel's picture glued to the head and screaming "You egotistical bastard! I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog, too!!"
No kidding. I wonder if Betty is still as Marcel-obsessed as Ilan is.

My wife and I talked about Padma one night. Padma doesn't understand that a truely beautiful woman doesn't need to let it all hang out to be sexy. Often less is more. Gail has that classic understated beauty. She looks good in almost anything. But, that black dress in this episode shows she knows how to dress sexy and not slutty. Padma was just hanging out there. I'm surprised she didn't catch cold. <grin>
I admit 20 years ago... slutty was totally my thing. But as you get mature you start to realize beauty is a lot more than bare skin. Women are such wonderful vibrant creatures. I love to see them smile, laugh, take care of their children and still find time for their careers. I don't know where they find the energy. But, I'm glad they do.

I was so disappointed with the behaviors the "chefs" displayed on the show. Cliff was barbaric, Sam was laughing at the situation, and Ilian was taping. Ilia was not in the scene which is a good thing for her. Marcel is a great chef, and that's what counts. I wanted Sam or Ilian to win...but I've lost all respect for them since watching the episode...don't really care what they do in the next episodes. They've lost my support. Adios, Cliff....not a smart decision on his part.

Funny, you say Marcel could have hurt Ilan's eye...I didn't see any black eye on Ilan, (too bad!) but Marcel did have bruises and carpet burns..so who really got hurt here? How did Marcel know Cliff wasn't going to hurt him? There sure hadn't been any indication of friendship shown so far in the show towards him. Plus, at first he didn't even KNOW it was Cliff. Controlled? WTF have you been reading??? Controlled alright, by the three a-holes!
And, just a little added note. I hope once back in Vegas, the restaurant owners there see this and tell Elia to 'PACK HER KNIVES AND LEAVE TOWN"! In the beginning when she said she had worked with him before, defended him, blah blah blah, she showed herself to be a good person, someone who would be nice to work with. THEN, after joining the 'DARK SIDE", she turned her back on someone she concidered a friend. Go back to your family Elia, cook for them because any self-respecting chef should be afraid to have you in their kitchen. JMHO, take it or leave it.
I'm plain nervous Elia even is allowed to possess sharp knives. After her 34 culinary degrees the woman's dream job is to become a butcher. As slow as she moves I can't believe any place would hire her unless she was paid by the piece.
LOL, that is all based on the assumption that someone would HIRE her in the first place. You would have to have a full-time therapist on duty to calm her down every times she wanted to queeeeet or geeeeeeeeeve up. Trudy Chase comes to mind...
She actually wants to be a butcher? I think she may get hired--her rich family and her feeeeeeeshy accent would wield a lot of influence--but there is no way she would be able to stay on a job. As has been pointed out, she is mentally unstable and a big baby when things don't go well, as well as being very slow in prep for cooking. I think being a butcher would require the same skills that Elia lacks.

The guy kicked off last night, Dustin Wilkes, wow! The look on his face when they said he was leaving...man, he just froze and then stared into space. Almost looked like he was going to start screaming. And, Meg squeeked by again. Thought she did a lot better, but I thought Randy Owen was pretty rough. Didn't know the song so didn't like it. WHATEVER, just because he didn't write it? thought he was an A-hole. Will see how the rest plays out.

A few pages back someone said it was Kobe Beef sirloin... which is not just any ole hunk of meat. If that's true then it's plenty sexy.
On at least one of the Bravo judge/chef blogs they indicated that, with the kind of budget he had, going with a better cut of meat would have been a better decision.

I wonder who, if any, of the original chefs might have stood up for Marcel that awful night. Certainly, not Betty. Maybe Mia or Josie.
High school curriculum should now include reading Lord of the Flies followed by watching episode 2 of Top Chef. You don't have to be marooned on an island.....
I'm sure both Mia and Josie would have. In fact, Josie looks like she could put Cliff in a full nelson and move in for the pin.
All the while spewing out that laugh of hers....HAR HAR HAR HAR. I can see it now....
Haha!! I LOVE her laugh. I happen to think that Mikey would've helped out too. As silly as he comes off, the guy has got a decent head on his shoulders.
Ya know what I think??? I think that all of the chefs would have been reading these posts and seeing how the masses are feeling about all the crap being done to Marcel and more than a few of them would probably help him, if for no other reason than to make themselves not look bad and look like they were members of.....THE DARK SIDE OF THE KITCHEN!!

I think at this point Sam will win but I just think, "Meh...who cares?" Last season I loved Harold and Dave and LeeAnne and felt that I had people to pull for...people that I thought would add something to the world of culinary arts.

So how does your friend feel about doing a reality show and possibly getting messed up by the intense living conditions, being mis-represented, etc...

Afternoon Holster,
You know it is funny because my friend does not give a damn about being famous....lol
We have talked over beers at a bar here in NOLA extensively about each and every contest and the insight and the critisiam he gives to the food in the challenges is incredible.He agrees it is not about the food anymore...He has not been a Chef for a number of years but was a graduate of The Cordan Blue has cooked all over the world and the last 12 here in NOLA as a chef before he decided to take a break.I think personally too him it is about the food not being a world famous chef. I think the reason if he gets selected and chooses to participate in his mind it will be about the food and showing the world what NOLA chefs are all about..IF he gets on..then the other chef's should be very afraid...lol

You've got a good point Amazon...maybe I'm just hopeing that if they get chefs like Willeam it will revert back to season one about the cooking. There will always be some drama just not to the extent of this season I would hope.But it is not up to me lol..he has seen the show and if they cast him it is his decision to accept or not.
Morning Thesbian!
So how does your friend feel about doing a reality show and possibly getting messed up by the intense living conditions, being mis-represented, etc...
I've been in hot-house situations...frat, seminary, etc and constant activity, little sleep, annoying roomates can really mess with one's equilibrium...

Afternoon Holster,
You know it is funny because my friend does not give a damn about being famous....lol
We have talked over beers at a bar here in NOLA extensively about each and every contest and the insight and the critisiam he gives to the food in the challenges is incredible.He agrees it is not about the food anymore...He has not been a Chef for a number of years but was a graduate of The Cordan Blue has cooked all over the world and the last 12 here in NOLA as a chef before he decided to take a break.I think personally too him it is about the food not being a world famous chef. I think the reason if he gets selected and chooses to participate in his mind it will be about the food and showing the world what NOLA chefs are all about..IF he gets on..then the other chef's should be very afraid...lol
Wooooohooooooo
Bring on Weeeeeeeeeeliam
I hope he can cut the feeeeeeeeeeesh!
Oh yeah Holster...is a thesbian part thespian part lesbian?????
I did hear a rumor.....Tsk tsk..we all know those gossip rags..Actor was indeed a full out of the closet lesbian.
He just loves da ladies........lol

I wonder who, if any, of the original chefs might have stood up for Marcel that awful night. Certainly, not Betty. Maybe Mia or Josie.
High school curriculum should now include reading Lord of the Flies followed by watching episode 2 of Top Chef. You don't have to be marooned on an island.....
You may think this sounds odd, after his actual threatening Marcel, but I think Frank wouldn't have put up with it. Frank is a good guy and I don't think he would condone a gang of people going against one person. It just doesn't seem like something he would be with.

Puff-ball interview of Cliff at http://bloggingtopchef.blogspot.com/
Blatant anti-Marcel bias excusing the brat pack mentality on interviewer's part:
TC: What was with Ilan talking about Marcel being a virgin? Were they playing?
CC: I took it as a dig. They were breaking balls. I wouldn’t have gotten upset.
BTC: It’s like one of those nights at work when you go at each other, then you are like, “hey, sorry let's go get a beer”.
CC: Right.
Yeah, right.
Pretty realisitc actually. If your around guys that talk trash it happens all the time.
Sure. amongst friends. Not from one person who wanted to "slap Marcel's face" from the "moment" he met him. That's just bullying. No offer for a beer is part of that script.
Considering the fact that these people were forced to be togeather and forced to interact with each other 24/7 I don't see it that way. If I was forced to be in the proximity of someone like Marcel 24/7 and he acted the way he did I'd probably tool on him too. And Frank for Snoreing and Mike for being a kuncklehead and Ilan for looking like Ted Alenn, wether I knew them or not.
But Joke that is the joke none of them were forced..they all agreed to do it signed a contract and believe me it's anice some of money for a short period of time.....lol
Boy I got to hand it to Bravo they really know how to twist theese boards and get free publicity..lol
We all have favs...we live vicariously through them on a T.V. show..I guess it's true what a bunch of sheep we are..lol
But I'll Baaa Baaa all the way to the end of the season..not so much because I have some intress in the show anymore but because of the boards and the cyber friends and enamies I have made here..this is the real show us...baaaa

I'm sure both Mia and Josie would have. In fact, Josie looks like she could put Cliff in a full nelson and move in for the pin.
All the while spewing out that laugh of hers....HAR HAR HAR HAR. I can see it now....
Haha!! I LOVE her laugh. I happen to think that Mikey would've helped out too. As silly as he comes off, the guy has got a decent head on his shoulders.
INTERESTING YOU POINT THAT OUT
I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF HER BEST QUALITIES
HER LAUGH
