Fact: Ruggles first registered at 4:20 pm this afternoon. Then, during a period of exactly EIGHT MINUTES, Ruggles posts the spoiler link to the Food & Wine article SEVEN TIMES, flipping from one Top Chef board to another with an ease that no noob can possibly have, as follows:
1. 4:24 posts spoiler link on Episode 12 board

4. 4:27 posts spoiler link on Top Chef Recipe board

7. 4:31 Episode 12 board again, this time posting the full text of the article.
FACT: This was a deliberate champaign by a highly experienced board user to plant the article and spread news about it far and wide, immediately.
And who do I think was the culprit? I give you the following information:
4:23 Justme posts on the Episode 12 board
4:28 Justme posts a tiny post on Epi 12 board
4:32, 4:52, 4:53,4:56,4:59, more tiny posts.

JustMe is the one who leaked the spoiler as DianneRuggles or whatever? Are you on crack?

Speaking of saffron.... our local Costco had jars containg 1 ounce of saffron for sale for $22.00(which is really CHEAP) ... if you like spanish cooking or even just paella you might check this out. ( 1ounce of safforn is a lot)
$22 an ounce? Must be some sh!tty saffon. Does it have an expiration date? LOL
AI
I didn't see one( and I looked!!) My guess is that with Costco's buying power and how they determine thier prices it is maybe just a real good deal. I will let you know as soon as I use some.

Unlike some people on here who will remain nameless I will happily admit I was wrong.
I just don't understand why Tom would put on his blogg that he had to be vetoed by the producers on giving the show to MC Foamy. If infact Ilan does win it makes him look like a total reactionary fool, who didn't care about the food.
I'm still thinking this might be a plant.
well, perhaps it's b/c any decent human being would think they should all be kicked off the show. it would be ridiculous of him not to say it. and if he really didn't mean it, it's an easy way out for him to look like the good guy...he wants to do the right thing, but can't b/c of those darned producers that rule his life....
this is just so sad. I know horrible people make millions of dollars everyday, but I don't want to SEE them give that son of b!tch 100k! I can honestly say I would rather see Tiffany get it than him. I'm sure his mom doesn't feel that way and alot of it is tv induced drama, but dang! i'm a believer.
on another note...never go to say it before, might as well say it now...This whole virgin thing really really annoys me. I can't believe that jacka$$ bourdain or whatever the heck his name is said marcel needed to get laid. We are such an oversexed population it's ridiculous. If Marcel really were a virgin, I'd respect him even more. b/c puhhlease, i'm sure if he watned to get laid he could for goodness sake, they make it out to be like virgin=geek. it's soooo stupid and juvenile and that stupid guest judge and bourdain got in on it too. There's nothing wrong with not having sex and I highly doubt it makes you less of a cook or socially inept, yes even for MEN! okay, enough of the soapbox...and no i'm not a virgin! haha. it's just annoying.
Agreed!!

Let's talk about DianaRuggles again. She registered at 4:20 this afternoon and within minutes had posted the spoiler about Ilan on at least two top chef boards.
I know we've all concluded that the Food & Wine article was well-written enough to be "the real thing" and that some poor slob at Food & Wine probably will lose his job over the leak.
But, have we thoroughly exhausted the idea of a plant? Ms. Ruggles has now posted the entire text of the article here tonight. One has to ask why she persists. Is she just a glory-hogging noob, or is there a dedicated effort to make sure that a "plant" really sticks?
Let's discuss.
Could be a fake b/c she copied the text after it had been taken down. She could have posted the link to twop, but chose to post the whole text & then went on to stress the author's name & credentials. Why register just to post the spoiler? Probably jivey & co at work...

Well, it's definitely somebody who is highly experienced. Somebody wanted this info out pronto, whether it was the actual poster or somebody behind the scenes pulling the strings.

You know, I'm curious about this confidentiality agreement that Elia has with the MGM Grand. Didn't she and Marcel used to work in the same place (where she, as sou chef, wasn't it?, trained him), but now she is in another position in the same complex? In her chow.com interview, she said she was transferred and admitted that her current position seemed like a step down.
Usually, when I hear confidentiality agreement, I tend to suspect resolution of sexual harassment or some other employment discrimination claim. In other words, I'd tend to suspect that Elia was the victim of something unsavory. However, seeing how insufferably Elia treated Marcel on Top Chef last week, I'm thinking that maybe she treated HIM really badly, refused to supervise him any longer, or tried to get him fired. Perhaps harassed him? That she is now in a different and admittedly lower-appearing position, complete with confidentiality agreement, seems strange to me.
It's an interesting little mystery.
I wondered the same thing. i mean aren't robuchen and craftsteak and nob hill all at the MGM grand?
well, I thought perhaps after the allegations he made about him cheating and his attitude and perhaps even the language about it being worse for the judges than her (might be considred a threat) that perhaps marcel threatened to sue her or something. I mean...the assault thing...I think it was clear that Cliff wasn't meaning to hurt him. the embarassment was there, but I can't see Marcel getting upset enough to sue over it, but something that might damange his reputation as a chef? which they certianly tried to do. they not only tried to brand him as possibly the hardest person in the world to work with or be around, but also as a cheater. I'd don't see that going over so well with marcel. though she did say he asked her over to watch episodes so....I guess that theory is gone. wish they'd leak THAT story.

I am sure that justme saw the post..and then simply followed the person by their posts..Whatever else may be involved I am sure Justme was simply following the post/poster..and he is not the kind of poster to scream an alarm..and what could he really say anyway..it was already out there. I think you should leave him and the speculation about him out of any 'conspiracy to spread or plant something' as I find it insulting to him and extremely highly implausible..having been on this board this long(he and myself).
And what exactly do you mean by 'plant'? That it is not real? Is there a conspiracy, and if so, what is it? Do you question the authenticity of the article?

I think everyone should be able to root for whoever they want...Sheeeesh...How rood if you couldn't???
The only one I saw getting weird was sjivey and it seems he's gone back to the cave.
But if they do ....call Justme head of security...He has a LARGE amount of weapons it seems ready to aim
and shoot.
))))))
City Girl....I wanted to answer the anti theory about the head shaving so many times but kept forgetting...I know they shaved the heads before..That is pretty muxh a given.
But everyone kept saying they did that to make it seem less ominous to cover for Elia and the rest...What if by doing that
it made it seem MORE ominous somehow...Am I making sense???
Sam says he didn't even know about the 'plan'
If he didn't and it was just a spur of the moment thing by Cliff ad Ilan....no insdious plan?? Just playing devils advocate and really..in order to buy that you would have to buy that they did know nothing beforehand(Elia and Sam) But why was
Ilan calling Sam?????? I hope they all answer this stuff afterwards.
(Looking around to see if Holster is around and
gonna say MOVE ON....lol)
Sizz...Have you met any stars in afficiando land????
I am SO jealous!!!!!
Did you see the National Enquirer put out that fake pic of Damsel in my tiara???
Da noive!!!!
Justme thanks for the Elton...Sigh!!!
OK cawwffee and bagels and then I go and dream about WAJ and his manly rugby playing arse....lol
Alas, Kristl, the only famous person met here has been King Kink, aka JustMe!! lol Just to busy with my afficionado duties to go out and meet the stars...
No surprise about Damsel...I think she is pretty sneaky, getting published and all. You better keep an eye on her!!
Uhm Siz I'm insulted only Justme I'm famous in my own mind...lol
Sorry Actor. Thought she meant other AFFICIANADO type peeps...you are by far the most famous peeps I know. (ya know I still ain't sure just who you are. Others have seen your pix, but...sorry, not Siz )O: maybe someday!!

Could be. Perhaps the producers got panicked by the groundswell of support for Marcel the last few days and wanted to calm it down a bit before their "weeeeener" was totally discredited in fans' eyes.
Or they hired Ilan as a temp web guy.
I can believe this *Spoiler* is a plant!! I still remember how everyone was so sure Marcel got his head shaved!! It wasn't speculation, it was supposed to be a fact and a done deal!! NOT!! I hope Marcel will win just to stop the speculation and spoiling in the future!! Ilan had been acting like a jerk anyway and wasn't being contrite after the assault on Marcel!! He learned nothing it seems!! He was fortunate not to be auf'd like Tom C. wanted or arrested as the law would have permitted!! IDIOT, but still cute as a butto(m)!! lol!!
But spoilers are planted to increase viewers, not decrease them, as this will do. If it had been Sam, then I might believe it, because Sam is very populasr and more people would want to see him win. But, Ilan, no. In addition, Marcel's biggest fan base is on the internet and so planting a Ilan win is the most effective way to make sure they do not watch the final show....but instead wait for Keckler's recap at TWOP.
Oh please. It's the same couple of dozen posters who go to a few boards and post their love for Marcel.
The show has over a million and a half viewers, I'd say less than ten percent come to the boards.
It's absurd to say there is this big ground swell of Marcel fans.
I'm not sure people LOVE Ilan, but I bet more like him than Marcel.
I know in my office where several people watch the show Ilan is their pick over Marcel, none of them come to the boards either.
You all are preaching to the choir and mistake this as some example everyone else agrees with you.

Unlike some people on here who will remain nameless I will happily admit I was wrong.
I just don't understand why Tom would put on his blogg that he had to be vetoed by the producers on giving the show to MC Foamy. If infact Ilan does win it makes him look like a total reactionary fool, who didn't care about the food.
I'm still thinking this might be a plant.
well, perhaps it's b/c any decent human being would think they should all be kicked off the show. it would be ridiculous of him not to say it. and if he really didn't mean it, it's an easy way out for him to look like the good guy...he wants to do the right thing, but can't b/c of those darned producers that rule his life....
this is just so sad. I know horrible people make millions of dollars everyday, but I don't want to SEE them give that son of b!tch 100k! I can honestly say I would rather see Tiffany get it than him. I'm sure his mom doesn't feel that way and alot of it is tv induced drama, but dang! i'm a believer.
on another note...never go to say it before, might as well say it now...This whole virgin thing really really annoys me. I can't believe that jacka$$ bourdain or whatever the heck his name is said marcel needed to get laid. We are such an oversexed population it's ridiculous. If Marcel really were a virgin, I'd respect him even more. b/c puhhlease, i'm sure if he watned to get laid he could for goodness sake, they make it out to be like virgin=geek. it's soooo stupid and juvenile and that stupid guest judge and bourdain got in on it too. There's nothing wrong with not having sex and I highly doubt it makes you less of a cook or socially inept, yes even for MEN! okay, enough of the soapbox...and no i'm not a virgin! haha. it's just annoying.
It really is a back of the house thing, the whole virgin thing. Its the old boys club back there and I dont see it changing anytime soon. Make any sexual harassment law you want, it wont stop.
If your a chick who can hang, you are given a set of imaginary balls and you earn every guys respect. If you a guy who can hang, you get to keep your balls and earn their respect.
If you puss out and cant take it, be prepared to have your ass ridden for your entire length of employment.
To say Marcel needs to get laid is to say he has no soul in the kitchen, he hasnt melded with the crew, he is an outsider, he is a company man. Get laid, loosen up and have your crews back, thats what I took Bourdains words to mean.
I thought Bourdains words were brilliant. The man can write and pulls no punches.
brillke
I think he needs a little professionalism. i guess I am just a prude but I don't care how insightful or true his words might be, I don't want to hear all the crap he spews. but i'm in the minority I guess. I did like it that he called carlos alex! haha.

JustMe is the one who leaked the spoiler as DianneRuggles or whatever? Are you on crack?
Some highly experienced person did it. (And we got it first - Twop didn't get it until 5:06 pm). I infer Justme because of the silence about this thing simultaneously popping up on the other boards, which Justme's responsive posts indicate he knew very well.
I mean, who would play possum about that?
Im sorry but Im confused. Why does it have to be a highly experianced person? Am I missing something?
Yes it has to be a highly experienced person.
In the space of eleven minutes flat, Ruggles:
--Logged in for the first time ever and waited three minutes. Then,
---pulled up the Top Chef index, selected Epi 12, and correctly made a post using "reply" rather than fumbling around with BravoBoardBoss, as we all did as noobs.
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 209, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected The Judges, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Top Recipe, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 210, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 207, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Retruned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 12, correctly posted the full text of an article using "reply"
Dang, girl, that's a major feat. Even we couldn't do it that fast!!! That was one singularly virtuoso performance. And, done without a single question asked about how to switch to another board, how to post, etc. Of course this is somebody well-versed in using these boards.

Let's talk about DianaRuggles again. She registered at 4:20 this afternoon and within minutes had posted the spoiler about Ilan on at least two top chef boards.
I know we've all concluded that the Food & Wine article was well-written enough to be "the real thing" and that some poor slob at Food & Wine probably will lose his job over the leak.
But, have we thoroughly exhausted the idea of a plant? Ms. Ruggles has now posted the entire text of the article here tonight. One has to ask why she persists. Is she just a glory-hogging noob, or is there a dedicated effort to make sure that a "plant" really sticks?
Let's discuss.
Could be a fake b/c she copied the text after it had been taken down. She could have posted the link to twop, but chose to post the whole text & then went on to stress the author's name & credentials. Why register just to post the spoiler? Probably jivey & co at work...
Hilary, you are quite the conspiracy therorist, aint ya? Let me introduce you to my friend WhatAJoke. Hes a funny guy who loves conspiracys too. You guys would make the cutest couple.

Well, it's definitely somebody who is highly experienced. Somebody wanted this info out pronto, whether it was the actual poster or somebody behind the scenes pulling the strings.
Whether or not the article is a "plant" to mislead us or is the real deal, this whole campaign to spread it far and wide in eight minutes flat smells to high heaven.
I am sure that justme saw the post..and then simply followed the person by their posts..Whatever else may be involved I am sure Justme was simply following the post/poster..and he is not the kind of poster to scream an alarm..and what could he really say anyway..it was already out there. I think you should leave him and the speculation about him out of any 'conspiracy to spread or plant something' as I find it insulting to him and extremely highly implausible..having been on this board this long(he and myself).
And what exactly do you mean by 'plant'? That it is not real? Is there a conspiracy, and if so, what is it? Do you question the authenticity of the article?
You're undoubtedly right about justme. The true tool of the folks who wanted this article so suddenly publicized will probably never admit who he/she is.
I'm not questioning that the article really did appear on the Food & Wine website. It did. I saw it there myself. The text printed on this board is a true copy of the text that was on that site before it got yoinked. If it is a "plant," then Bravo and Food & Wine are in cahoots to lead us off track. I don't know if it is a "plant" in that sense. I do note, however, that Food & Wine left it up until it hit Twop, too.
Very interesting.

anybody who has ever posted before on any of the Bravo boards would know how it works. It would not take an 'experienced person'..it would just take anyone who has ever posted for ANY length of time. I am sorry but I do not find how this person posted to be so 'spectacular' in any way really. It really would not take a rocket scientist...ya know?

Nice attack and misdirection. No, I never said that I like to wear many names. Perhaps you do?
However, in response to this poke and that of Ohiotodd, who would shush my speculations by claiming to be more experienced than I, I will disclose that my combined posts on these boards under my former and current identity total 2,000. (After I reached Afficionado status, my niece used this computer while visiting to make some posts on the board, and for some reason I couldn't get my old name back after she changed the dang thing to a new login. Seems Bravo's program only accepts one name from an IP address. So, I have been CityGirl ever since, curse the moon.)
So when I say that this "blanket the world" scheme was executed by some very highly experienced person, I do know whereof I speak.

Let's talk about DianaRuggles again. She registered at 4:20 this afternoon and within minutes had posted the spoiler about Ilan on at least two top chef boards.
I know we've all concluded that the Food & Wine article was well-written enough to be "the real thing" and that some poor slob at Food & Wine probably will lose his job over the leak.
But, have we thoroughly exhausted the idea of a plant? Ms. Ruggles has now posted the entire text of the article here tonight. One has to ask why she persists. Is she just a glory-hogging noob, or is there a dedicated effort to make sure that a "plant" really sticks?
Let's discuss.
Could be a fake b/c she copied the text after it had been taken down. She could have posted the link to twop, but chose to post the whole text & then went on to stress the author's name & credentials. Why register just to post the spoiler? Probably jivey & co at work...
Hilary, you are quite the conspiracy therorist, aint ya? Let me introduce you to my friend WhatAJoke. Hes a funny guy who loves conspiracys too. You guys would make the cutest couple.

Fact: Ruggles first registered at 4:20 pm this afternoon. Then, during a period of exactly EIGHT MINUTES, Ruggles posts the spoiler link to the Food & Wine article SEVEN TIMES, flipping from one Top Chef board to another with an ease that no noob can possibly have, as follows:

You be the judge. I've made up my mind.
JustMe is the one who leaked the spoiler as DianneRuggles or whatever? Are you on crack?
Some highly experienced person did it. (And we got it first - Twop didn't get it until 5:06 pm). I infer Justme because of the silence about this thing simultaneously popping up on the other boards, which Justme's responsive posts indicate he knew very well.
I mean, who would play possum about that?
Im sorry but Im confused. Why does it have to be a highly experianced person? Am I missing something?
Yes it has to be a highly experienced person.
In the space of eleven minutes flat, Ruggles:
--Logged in for the first time ever and waited three minutes. Then,
---pulled up the Top Chef index, selected Epi 12, and correctly made a post using "reply" rather than fumbling around with BravoBoardBoss, as we all did as noobs.
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 209, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected The Judges, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Top Recipe, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 210, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Returned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 207, correctly made a post using "reply"
---Retruned to the Top Chef index, selected Epi 12, correctly posted the full text of an article using "reply"
Dang, girl, that's a major feat. Even we couldn't do it that fast!!! That was one singularly virtuoso performance. And, done without a single question asked about how to switch to another board, how to post, etc. Of course this is somebody well-versed in using these boards.
anybody who has ever posted before on any of the Bravo boards would know how it works. It would not take an 'experienced person'..it would just take anyone who has ever posted for ANY length of time. I am sorry but I do not find how this person posted to be so 'spectacular' in any way really. It really would not take a rocket scientist...ya know?
So you concede that this noob wasn't really a noob at all and came on with the clear intent to post this article far and wide immediately?

Nope, not FOO FOO. Just plain old FF1.
Yes, somebody did want this article's message to get out like lightning. Now, the $64,000 question: Is it true (the horrible posting mistake of some poor slob about to be fired), or is it a deliberate misdirection (aka, a "plant").
Only time will tell, kiddies.

I really don;'t care how many post you have had or how many user names either. I stand by my assertion that to do what you have laid out as having been done would not take someone with great experience. Just moderate experience. I do agree it sounds like someone who has used before/had some experience with the boards. But that could be anyone..past or present. And it was the 'justme' part that got me..He would be the last person to do something like that.
So someone who has been/is currently on the boards found the article and posted it quickly in numerous places, using a new name(maybe so they could remain anonymous?)..where does that leave us..??? I just do not get the point of your analysis or where it could be leading??????
*and it was a poke...but not a mean or nasty poke..ok?..and what brillke said was WORSE!!! LOL (hahaha neener neener brillke~ *

Wow, you are sticking by your theory I see. Okie dokie. What was your other name? Just curious, no need to tell if you dont want to.
FoodFanOne.
oh yeah! i remember you!
wait....wait a minute FoodFanOne? as if in F.oodF.anO.ne?
as in FOO....FOO or more aptly...aguynamedwayne!!!! I don't believe it...your JUSTMEAOD too aren't you? and perhaps ohiotoodd. Dang, all this time I thought I was interacting with lots of different people and it's just been one...you got me. I'm just messing with you so please don't take it personally. i have no idea if you are right or wrong about AOD but....I can tell you that once these guys all dressed in black with black shades came to my work and asked me what I was doing at 10am that mornign. turns out they asked my roommate too and searched our house. Apparently that morning at ten am a bomb threat had been called in to the elementary school. they traced it to our number. I had made a call to county clerks or somewhere to ask where to pay a ticket right around that time and....coincidence. it was the closest they could get. it was freakin scary though! that part is true. so I am willing to believe JUSTME was a coincidence. but the person who did it definetly meant to spread the word fast and furious and certainly seemed to be an Ilan fan! haha.
Nope, not FOO FOO. Just plain old FF1.
Yes, somebody did want this article's message to get out like lightning. Now, the $64,000 question: Is it true (the horrible posting mistake of some poor slob about to be fired), or is it a deliberate misdirection (aka, a "plant").
Only time will tell, kiddies.
As I said before, Harold winning last season leaked too. Guess we will have to watch and see whats real and what isnt.
