Risotto seems like a simple dish, but done well it can be a winner. So often, people either prepare bland risotto or undercook the rice. The inclusion of the gremulada into the risotto would have probably kicked up the dish. So, I tend to agree that the scallop, alone, was the mistake.

If Anthony Bourdain had said the same things (which is quite possible), people would be falling all over the boards with love.. I like Toby, he just sounds more snobby than he is because of the accent.

One only needs to watch Hell's Kitchen to see many a risotto fiasco

I soooo wanted Ariane to win again just so sourdyke would pout again. And what did she say? Now she's a power to be reckoned with??? Why? Cuz she won ONE challenge? Sit down, bitch, your name isn't on the trophy yet. I would empathize with her if she didn't mention in every single confessional how she "deserved" to win every single challenge. Fuck you! I was almost hoping that when the dishes came out and the judges saw the scallop dish, they would all yell out in unison, "This is Jaime's dish!" and summarily dump it in the trash... maybe next week. <3 TikiLou!! Spot on, of course! Sourdyke. eta: 1,000 Top Scallops Oh seaguy... I love it when we're on the same side... makes it so much more easier

So was Dale. So was Tre. And each of them was "a power to be reckoned with" (well, Tre and Dale were -- I don't even remember who "Mark" was...). I'm not really thinking that Jamie has this in the bag, but she IS a power to be reckoned with and has been since long before she won last night's challenge.

He is the Ricky Gervais/David Brent of the journo set, a nerdy fug outsider just begging to be let in and admired only to find out that everything he says and does is sad. I of course love him and think he is hysterical. People were aghast at Ricky's last special which had jokes about the Holocaust but that is his charm. Toby is not a food critic nor ever even wanted to be a "critic". He became a theatre one a few years ago by "accident" and was immediately disregarded but rejection has never disauded him.

I think Jamie is talented, but I have a feeling that her aloofness, culinary arrogance disguised as general annoyance, and broody nature may trip her up. Mark was the Aussie.

You're still tops with me (re your sense of humor & taste re the funny). I loved Ricky's special. He knows his way around non-PC humor.

Many aloof arrogant idiots have made the finals of Top Chef, though. There's at least one in every final. No one has mentioned the return of my hero, Hung! I hope for the quickfire challenge they all have to make their version of a Smurf Village breakfast.

I've watched it about 10 times now. I agree about the new judge, if Anthony Bourdain were saying this stuff, everyone would LOVE it. I like having a snarky bastard on the judging panel, better him than Rocco.

Everyone else had a few things on their plates, Jeff going overboard.

I wasn't referring to the difficulty, but to the number of components generally coming out on these dishes. Risotto + something to spiff it up. Everyone else had a few things on their plates, Jeff going overboard. See, I think this is what drove Carla to make the "Pizzazz" remark. It was probably a less than oblique reference to chefs. Particularly Jeff, who doesn't seem comfortable unless he has 14 things on one plate. The pseudo-nuveau plating is another issue. All the oil drops and spooned out sauces is so played out. Honestly, there's a place for delicious simplicity or even rustic food. (Just look at Jamie Oliver's success.) I think Carla has that in mind, but just hasn't been able to execute it, or doesn't trust herself to try it. As for Jeff, I am pretty confident that his busy work will have him reluctantly sipping canned Pabst Blue Ribbon in sequester house before the finals.
