The Ballad Of The "Bully-Gang"

Yesterday in old Las Vegas
Mr. Vigneron was 'bused.
Now they got the "gang" that did it
On a charge Marcel was used.
Some folks say they just was playin',
Others say they made him pay,
'Cause they all agreed the guy just wasn't all that damn soignee.

(chorus)
Oh, you can't clip your castmate down in old Las Vegas
Not even if it's meant to be in fun.
No, you can't chop your top chef down in old Las Vegas
You know someone'll pack their knives 'n run.

Well, they got him on the sofa
Where he'd gone to take a nap.
They'd been drinkin'; wasn't thinkin
When they thought to shear his cap.
Now, Cliff, he played the muscle man,
And Sam was set to shear.
Ilan was there to film it all,
With Elia there to cheer.

(chorus)
Oh, you can't shear your bunkmate down in old Las Vegas
Not even if you're tired of his cuisine.
No, you can't buzz old 'Foamy down in old Las Vegas
You know it's almost sure to cause a scene.

Well, Cliff, he tried to hold him down,
Ilan was camera-ready.
Sam was laughin' up a storm.
Their nerves were moonshine-steady.
But in the end, the little guy, he up and ran away,
Surely pissed, but "shorn-ly" missed--guess "Foam" don't play 'dat way!

(chorus)
Oh, you can't clip your castmate down in old Las Vegas
And then blame all the damage on moonshine.
No, you can't call him "Chop Chef" down in old Las Vegas
You know the judges won't approve the whine.

Well, they didn't get to shave Marcel.
They kinda chickened out.
But never one to be outdone,
Ilan just had to shout,
"Let's shave our own, since Foamy, he's done run away and hid!"
He said "Elia, cut it out!" and that's exactly what she did.

(chorus)
Oh, you can't shave your a$$es down in old Las Vegas
And then expect to not hear "Let's evict 'em!"
No, you can't save your a$$es down in old Las Vegas
You know the boards'll scream "don't blame the victim!"

So, now they want the "Bully-Gang."
Well, them that's left, they say.
Since Cliff was axed, and asked to pack his bags that fateful day.
The others roam, without their foam, a "pack" that some comdemn.
Like musketeers, they've heard the jeers of "Foul Ad Hominem!"

"Hang 'em high!" the boards'll say.
"They can't treat poor Marcel that way!"
But he'll be back, and we'll all watch
him say "I'm not your b!tch, beeyotch!"

Yes, we can moan, and we'll still fight, but we'll be back next
Wednesday night.
Just lock your doors, 'cause threats don't faze 'er. Here comes Elia with a brand new razor!!!

65, cold??? It's so funny, when it gets lower than 70 here, all the native Floridians bundle up in their "winter gear" like they're braving the frozen tundra. Since I hail from Ohio originally, 65 to me is a welcome change from the stifling heat and humidity here in Tampa.

It's 73 here now, so I'll toss an extra bankie over for you and your baby!

OK Cassie, I'm going to back you on this for one reason. I do understand the point you are trying to make. Tom may HAVE told them that either Marcel wins or you can all kiss my rump roast good bye, IF he found out before the prize was awarded about being duped by the producers. It is his name on the show and his reputation somewhat at stake. However, that is something we will probably never know, because even if Marcel wins, whether it be for his cooking or for the verbal/physical abuse he took (that was NOT "brothers" wrestling around!) I am sure that even IF they agreed to make sure that Marcel won, there would be all kinds of contractual agreements that they would NEVER talk about it. However, if Tom does not find out until AFTER the Hawaii challenge, there is nothing he can do except refuse to be associated with the show again. Pretty sure he would have no grounds for taking the prize back. Any help?? (O:

Some actually. I started thinking there that I'd come up with a new language or something. Spent the last few hours trying to find out how to decode it

---

Naw Cassie. Some times it gets a little hot around here. I have not been here that long, just have too much time on my hands, hense lots of posts. NOBODY needs to be bashed over and over because someone doesn't agree. I do see your point, just kind of thing there are too many 'if only" things that would have to happen. Welcome to the boards, and take everything with a grain of salt, either kosher, sea, or regulare old table. (O:

Too funny! No matter what anyone says, I think our pets pick us. We are just to stupid to realize we've been had. lol Ya know those fabreeze commercials where the lady picks up all the toys and puts them away, sprays the carpet and when she turns around, all the toys are nose down on he carpet? That is EXACTLY what happens in our house. If I pick up all the toys and put them away, by the end of the day, they are all back out and all over the livingroom. Hubby and I laugh about it all the time. I think the only reason I pick up the toys is to see how long it takes for them to all get scattered again.

Hubby's cousins do a lot of traveling. Bike shows, car shows, etc. They also go to Indy and Taladega (sp) Once a friend took a remote control car, removed the body and put a baby car seat on it. Then they put the dog in it and drove him around in the pit. Guess all the crews were taking pix and stuff. Sounded pretty cool.

Just jumping in to ask a question, maybe Actor and/Holster or whomever...

With the rules clearly stating, threatening or actual physical contact can get you thrown off the program, do you think if they had either repremanded or thrown Frank off the show (like the just did with Cliff) when he threatened Marcel it would have prevented the craziness (scuffle) that happened on the last episode?

---

I think it would have stopped everyone in their tracks. Yes. As Tom C said, being silent is as bad as actively doing something wrong. In that sense, the producers, and Tom, if he knew about it, are at fault for "permitting" if not "encouraging" Marcel bashing. As a former teacher and design studio manager, I know the value of a few well chosen words. Even with "adults." As my father said, running a business is 90% people problems, 10% business.

So, yes, I do think so. But Betty is a wild card, and nothing may have stopped her narcissistic rages. Ilan is a coward and would have towed the line. Sam and Elia too.

So instead of the drama, we probably would have seen more "silent treatment." THAT would have sent the producers into depression....which perhaps is where they wiil be sent when they realize how inhumanely they have used these people for monetary gain.

---

Thanks to both Actor and Holster for the answers.

I too believe that had the repremanded Frank or sent him packing it might have stopped what happened. I agree it may not have stopped Betty, but she might have reigned in a little. I also agree the producers would be depressed had the silent treatment started.

Because the Bravo/Top Chef management did not step in when Frank's threat was made, I feel the Bravo/Top Chef team were just as guilty. They stood by and watched it develop also. So I believe the management is equally responsible for the actions of the last episode.

I'm watching Wolfgang Puck On HSN......I love that guy
and this is my Wolfgang Puck story.Before this I had no idea if he was tyrant or not but they say no....just a perfectionist.
I met him at his retaurtant in Ft Lauderdale.We just went there to eat and the place was all a buzz cause he was coming..Like how they acted when Meryl Streep comes in in The Devil Wears Prada....Everyone was like...make sure it's clean make sure it's right....You know how it is when the big boss is coming.Soooo we were sitting there eating and he and his party just happened to sit right near us..I was so excited but my mother and sister didn't know who he was.

Well he got up to do his walk around and they all ordered and his mother was with them . and he was so sweet to his mother.Very attentive.


He came back and my mothers back was to him....he put his arm on her and said..How is everything ladies?????..Well he scared my mother to death and she screamed and he screamed and dropped his plate of food......LOL!!!!

Well from then on the whole place was laughing and we kept talking back and forth to him and his party and he gave us a free lox(smoked salmon) pizza..It was to die for
He was very sweet to my mother and I love him ever since!!!

NOW I want smoked salomn pizza.
I could eat pizza every day!!!!

The best pizza I ever had was clams and shrimp
in upstate NY.....mmmmm

OK....Too much cawwffee....lol
