Ilan was a good chef. Yeah, he only did what he already knew, but he was in the top most of his season. And I still don't get why people hate Dale so much.

It is obvious that the judges made a terrible mistake. God.dess Jennifer deserved to win Top Chef 6, 7 AND 8.
She needs to be comforted. I volunteer my services. |

After rewatching Season 4, I now have newfound Dale, Spike, and Lisa appreciation. <3

I haven't watched yet, but I am really, REALLY disappointed now after reading through the last few pages of new posts. I'll watch last night's episode this afternoon when I hit my treadmill and use my frustration to boost my cardio workout. I have no one left to root for, so I'll halfheartedly say "Anyone but douchebag Michael Voltaggio ftw."
WhoopDeeFreakingDoo. |

I am not surprised Jen was eliminated. In all fairness, she peaked in week three. Kevin seems to be a nice guy, unfortunately, he cannot cook complex dishes.
In that regard the V brothers have him beat. Bryan for the win.

OK, so sup with the "OMG this is an outrage I'm never watching this show again!!!!" people?
It's a fucking cooking show. I've never finished an episode and had really strong emotions in either direction. It's either "oh, that was cool," or "oh, that was a crappy boot" and then I watch the following week. Some episodes are shitty and deserve being mocked, sure, but I'm not really ever feeling the outrage. |

The brothers are so boring that I still cannot remember which one is Bryan and which one is Michael. But, they are talented and I have enjoyed seeing what
dishes they come up with. As much as I loved Jen, and her sort of crooked smile, she has been struggling and is not quite there. On a weaker season, she might
have pulled off a win. I can't imagine Bravo picking either brother to win--because you know they are already salivating over the "Volt Brothers Cook
Off Show" so they can milk the sibling rivalry for a while longer. So Yukon will win unless he fucks it up. And I am OK with that, he is talented too,
albeit on the sloppy side.

OK, I scrolled through a few pages and the main complaint seems to be that they actually based their cast selection on cooking ability instead of personality
and their weekly eliminations on success instead of what cast combination would make a good final?
I guess that's probably why I watch the show. It's somewhat closer to actual reality instead of scripted reality. |

I can't believe I actually sat down and watched this last night, after writing this show off weeks ago.
No surprise Jen went home.Wasn't she in the bottom like six weeks in a row? I have no doubt that the girl is good, but she just kept messing up. It didn't seem quite fair that Tom made an issue of the grill thing after saying that her duck was perfectly cooked (lol), but Tom is a douche. We all know that. Why are we surprised? Anyway, you know what's going to happen. Poor Kev is going to be out and this will be the finale of the Voltaggio Bros. show. Ugh. Bravo, please don't ever do this to us again. This season has felt so contrived since the beginning. It could not have been more obvious that these two were going to make it to the finals for a brothers cook-off. Seriously, how fucking lame can you get? If they can't keep this show interesting on its own merit anymore, then they might as well take UKK's advice and scrap this show already. I can't figure out if this show jumped the shark when the Brit joined the judges panel or if it was when the Voltaggio Bros made the cast. Just a note on the Volt Bros...the younger one is FUGLY and a douchebag to boot. The older one, I would fuck that blank stare right out of his eyes, but then I'd send him home because he's kind of creepy/hot and it's a little disturbing. Have we discussed Padma's bangs yet? |

^^^ I hate the bangs!
But I love Bryan Volt and I am so glad he won! I like Kev too, but just can't help but pull for Bryan a little more. I totally thought it was time for Jen to go. And although Stephan got the "dick" edit last year, I loved him. Michael Volt, (this years dick)--meh. I don't hate him, don't love him. I think he is probably an amazing chef. But I want Bryan to take this shit home!!! |

They said her duck was delicious. They could have obviously gotten rid of any of the 4 by highlighting whatever minor flaw all 4 had. No one did anything horrible, except I really thought if you are going to compare flaws, Michael's runny egg should have gotten him the boot. Padma found it inedible. I think runny inedible egg is a worse sin that delicious well-cooked duck that just maybe would have tasted even better if you had grilled it.
Jen is one of the nicest, funniest most normal reality contestants in a long time. She didnt want to make me hurl things at my TV. I didnt feel the love at first, but she seems like such a well-grounded fun and interesting girl. So I'm outraged and bitter Mr. Runny Egg Michael should have been sent packing- they want to keep him for the sibling rivalry angle. But this show it is obvious is not based on that particular challenge. |

This whole season has felt so meh to me. I've only been watching here and there, but I did watch last night. I'd like to see Yukon win but would be okay with Bryan, too. Michael seems like an all-around dick. I hated Padma's bangs. In fact, her whole face looked weird when she first showed up. Maybe it was a lack of make-up but her features looked all flattened out and spread out, like pregnancy had made her face wider. Just weird. Anyway, she looked better at the vineyard but the hair is fugly. Gail's boobs were the star of the show, as always. Even as a straight woman, it's hard to focus on anything else when she's onscreen. lol |

Speaking of Padma's bangs...
is it true Tom Colicchio is the daddy? |

It seemed like it was really an elimination between Kevin and Jen, not an elimination between all 4...because Bravo wanted to play up
that sibling rivalry.

I haven't seen the show but with Jen gone I can delete it from my DVR and not waste my time. Another show rigged like Survivor...

I really enjoyed Gail's boobs myself- I kept thinking someone in the thread is going to comment on those hooters tomorrow!

There's nothing simple about kevin's cooking. It takes real talent and culinary knowledge to consistently cook dishes with ingredients that compliment
each other, are perfectly seasoned, and his sauces have regularly gotten high praise at the judge's table. kevin has superior cooking skills, he just needs
to work on his presentation a little.
I thought contemporary chefs were getting away from all the frills and gimmicks of puree smears and dots with some inedible fried vegetation piled so high on the dish that it takes an engineering feat to get it to the table. That is so eighties. kevin reminds me a lot of harold in season one. no bullshit or swagger, just great food week after week. |
