Giacomo.... I went to White Castle today for the first time since I've been home ...I have been avoiding it like the plague......It weren't pretty

Tom....I was pulling for you!

Numero Uno should only count after the show has aired.

(now how did you pull that off???
did you make a quickie teevee dinner??? )

That's what I say after 30 minutes usually..

John you made me spoeeeet....You are so funny and you don't even try...My friend on Facebook said.... Who is that happy go lucky guy????

Mr Curmudgeon ..that's your new name.

Missed "Restaurant Wars" for season 1! That one was my faves! These were the best of the best and they were all so pompous; Stephen, Tiffany, Dave, Muguel! This was one of more humorous episodes with Stephen walking the space, overdoing it trying to choose and pay for the decor, as well as being arrogant enough to believe that Harrold's team with Tiff was being called 1st to give them the bad news that everything went Lee Ann, Stephen, and Miquel's way! "Our food was 'fly'!" What an idiot! You had Tiffany sacrificing the name she was to use for her own rest.! "Oh cry me a river girlie! American Workshop has been claimed I'm sure many times before! Nothing original there!"

Miguel was just a colossol fraud! He was always "in the weeds!" If he wasn't using sugar instead of salt, he was ordering fish at the grocery store and not having it scaled! What another idiot! I'm so glad Dave won the challenge! It had to break the face of Tiffany; it was her dream to go to Europe! "Anddd??" Most do! lol! She was just too rude to win even though she knew what she was doing! Love watching her getting called out on her "rip off" of Dave's desserts in the finale!

GOOOOOOOOOOOO KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!









Oh and goooooooooooo Yanks and Obama too!!

DARN IT! HAD TO WORK!!!!!!!!!
NO FAIR...OKAY, IT WAS!!!

I hope I can stay awake. it comes on at ten here.

Season one ROCKED..... It really did and nothing will ever capture that magic again. It was all so new and fresh and naive and innocent really.

But I think I love all the seasons equally for different reasons.
Top chetestent for me of all time has to be Andrew.
He just cracked my mutha' [expletive deleted] face he did.
But if I had to pick one to love the most.

Dale L .. season 3....Sigh..He was all that AND a bag of cheetos!!!

But who knows...... One of the DJ's on my radio station said that Crissy Hynde ws a royal b*tch
I didn't think she was.

Least favorite...STILL..... Tiff for me.

Hiya Trouble...Trouble is my middle name ya' know
My dad always told me that.
10 here too and I'm drinking cawwffee for RW!!
Otherwise we could watch the re-runs.

I quit my job and don't start my new one till the 9th..BUT I'm more exhausted now...There's so much to do!!!
Well gonna' go get cozy and watch what happens.

KK;; While my dad called me Snoopy at times. mostly it was Trouble by everyone else! With the first name of Connie..theres not much of a nick name there. thinking about the coffee, but really need to sleep if i can..don't sleep good. Working to help my friend out with her shop and october i our busy time. She had to have by pass. Maybe if I stay on the computer, leave the TV on, i can stay awake. My TV is between by bed and my computer desk. I hope Robin does stay around and is Eli goes home tonight? You will hear the Cancer surviviors club yelling "Hooray!!!!" to the moon, alice, to the moon!

Love the pic of Kevin. he is really my pick to win if Jen doesn't.

Yay for Restaurant Wars. My favorite challenge by far. Hope my top four stays.

I hope they send home 2 tonight....stupid Eli and dumbass Mike I.

But I do love restaurant wars too!

I vote for that double elimination.

who else thinks both Mike V and Brian V are totally hot?

I think RW is everyone's favorite. I would like to see an upset tonight. It is just too predictable. Michael V. always looks so PO'd...somebody needs to knock that chip off his shoulder.

Not me.

Go Robin.



J/k LOL

I can look at a picture and think..."Pretty nice" but would I buy it? No.
Same with the borthers. They are good looking and can cook. But can they clean..or even smile?

Exactly!

Same here...

I'm liking this quickfire. You really have to know how to cook to pull this one off.

ME ME! I do I do!!! Even hotter cuz they can cook!

Jen is hiding a hot body under that chefs coat. She was rockin that bikini!

That is hilarious!

Does Robin know there are other things to eat besides salads. Where is Antonio when we need him? "It's not Top Scallop" It's not Top Salad for Christ's sakes.

wasn't that Fabio?

what is billi-bi?


ETA...mussells...commonly used as a cream of musselss soup according to google. I have never heard of that...

you are correct sir!
sorry.
i chose to partake and am having trouble multi tasking.
No excuse for getting Fabio's name wrong, but sheesh.

having fun? all that matters!

LOL

Oh the agony of going home while Robin remains.

Excellent QF.

Great episode.

Good job, Robin.

Later, Laurine (knew it).

So far they are getting rid of the dead weight nicely! It would have been a shame if Kevin or Jennifer went home before Robin! Luckily they had a sacrificial lamb in Laurine! It's getting down to the crunch! These are some great chefs left here; "very impressive M'Elves!"

I knew she was leaving too. It's really about entertainment and ratings. Jennifer screwed up "big time". 2 failed dishes and Laurine goes home? I was totally dedicated to this show. I'm done. I think I'll start watching the food network.

I am not sure what value Padma is adding on Top Chef. She doesn't have any insighful comments on the food. It seems that her presence is only limited to facilitating...not sure if the show benefits with her presence.

May be they should look for someone that adds value???

I noticed that Padma offered more commentary to the food in earlier seasons. She is a published chef, but the past couple of seasons, it's as if she's become the "snob" of the show. Maybe the show has jumped the shark. It's a shame because there seem to be some really good chefs this season....and some bad ones too.

Well at the time, Padma was the one added for some kind of value! lol! Remember the "Stepford Wive," Katie Joel? They went with the sequel in Padma!

totally agree!

I was impressed with Michael V. sharing his 10K four ways with his team. I think Bryan refused because he thought his brother was grandstanding, but so what? It was thoughtful!
