Sorry, but this guy is like the Michael Scott of Top Chef. He tries to be funny or clever, but he ain't. He's a little poofy limey epic fail who apparently know what moose balls look like. And yes, we dont all say MAY HEE KO when saying 'Mexico', but when people discuss paella, there's really only one way to pronounce it. Some people say Mexico, some say May hee ko, but with Paella, everyone says 'PIE AY UH'. I've never heard a person say 'Pay Ella' Brits usually mangle foreign words. And it's done so unashamedly, I'm sure it's on purpose. Part of the demonstration of their superiority, and all. I've always wondered why we don't all call Italian cities by their proper names -- like Fierenza [Florence], Venizia [Venice], and my all time favorite Livorno [Leghorn]. I'm sure it was a Brit's doing. Oh, and . . . Yay Kevin!

The brothers grim, along with Jennifer and Kevin will make for an exciting final four. My money is on Kevin.

We have an Indian dude named Jeetu and they limeys pronounce it Jet-tu instead of Jee-tu. How fucking arrogant. The guy's name is Jee-tu - why is that so hard to do? Oh and I was hanging out with one of our clients from Italy and his business is in Firenze. He says 'If I say I'm from Firenze, people think I live in Paris' :)

My favorite part is when one brother said the challenge was the most exciting one and he looked like he was half falling asleep in the interview.

They need to cast a Russell Hantz on Season 7 to play mind-games and fuck up everyone else's dishes. The judges being so keen on getting amazing chefs after Season 2 has killed the show - four people get better food while millions of people get duller TV. Brits usually mangle foreign words. Way to generalise an entire nation. I forgot how all Americans have a perfect grasp of the English language And fuck Ash for thinking Toby Young is any way representative of British people. That's like me thinking all Americans are like Teller. Last Edited By: A Dying Clown 09/24/09 12:35 PM. Edited 3 times.

This season isn't, like, terrible, but I have little to no attachment to any of the contestants. I'm sure they're ~~~TALENTED CHEFS~~~ but when I can't taste their food they can at least be a little more exciting.

So when Ash didn't have a huge pile of potatoes, didn't that fit the requirements of the challenge? He probably would have had his head ripped off if he had a bunch of potatoes, because it would have been too much like the original dish and not creative enough. And what was with the bitching about Laurine's chip portion of fish & chips? You can't really do much to deconstruct fish & chips, it's too simple. They made some of them really hard because it was way too hard to deconstruct lasagna and please the judges, likewise for fish & chips. Can they PLEASE dump Kevin/Eli/Fat Mike in a triple elimination next week? They are becoming more miserable c.unts than Ashley could imagine. From the cancer comment to the smug look on Kevin's face, and Fat Mike bitching about everything, they just need to go. I can't wait for Robin to continue kicking ass and pissing off these bitter little twats. Even better if Robin can outlast them all. My dream boot order Kevin/Eli/Fat Mike Ashley Ash Laurine Brother #1 Brother #2 Top 2 of Robin/Jen and Jen winning. Good chef wins in the end and Robin makes F2, pissing off all those little twats.

He had the same Doctor as MJ and died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. This has been a hard summer on celebrities.

He didn't have ANY potatoes, which is the single most important component of the dish (the meat used varies). It's one thing to substitute, like tuna for corned beef, it's another to leave it out altogether. It kind of amused me, seeing what he'd say - his choices were admit he screwed up the potatoes and didn't serve them, or play dumb like he didn't think there had to be any in the first place. He really is a lucky duck.

I was just in Vegas for 4 days and no wonder I didnt see Danny Gans shit everywhere like I did last year. Now its the Terry Fator person I have no interest in. Oh and Carrot Top and some draq queen who everyone is insisting is Cher. As for 'hard summer on celebrities'? Whatever. Celebrities are people. People die. Celebs routinely play with fire and sometimes they get burned. Shit happens. I have no feelings about Danny Gans dying. All is do know is that his name would insanely cheesy and was his whole schtick.

And look what everyone's saying in here. lol I don't care for Mz. Bernstein. Not one bit. She poses and smirks and languishes around like she's some sort of sex pot and just off of that I can't stand her. The meowfest between her and Toby was at least a little fun, however. Whatever about the Robin hate. She's probably not that atrocious of a cook; she just annoys the fuck outta everyone with her nonstop chatter. I like Yukon Cornelius. There. I said it. No, seriously, though, I like that he knows exactly who he is as a chef, so any challenge he does will be done from his point of view. Same with the brothers and Mz. Jen C. Ash has so many issues; has he yet to make anything that's turned out the way he wanted, much less taste good - he's got to be gone soon. Padma looked like she was in a really bitchy mood. Maybe she didn't appreciate Penn's remark about the bulls balls - hey, I'm with him.

I am heading to Vegas in about a week and it'll be weird not to see all the Danny Gans signs everywhere.

It's not like she runs around screaming OOH I GOT CANCER CANCER CANCER LOOK AT ME! Does repeating that she had cancer three times during the explanation of her dish to Padma and Michelle count as saying "I GOT CANCER CANCER CANCER"? I think so. By the end of the episode, I was hoping she'd get it again.

That's like me thinking all Americans are like Teller. Are you a Brit? Cuz I was wondering during that brief conversation about the pronunciation of PAELLA how the Brits would pronounce TORTILLA. Do they pronounce it with a hard L as in Tor-Till-A or like the rest of us do as Tor-Tee-Ya???
