But ALOL at Gail bitching out that blogger who was tweeting during the taping.

Gail says back to me "You tweeted this location and have compromised our ... " I'm not sure what it was she said through all the shouting but I'm pretty sure my simple tweets didn't compromise a thing or what she was so upset about.

The Night Bravo Told Me To Stop Tweeting

But wtf is the blogger going on about Tom being the foodie sex god? gross

I will never ever ever ever ever understand some people's lust for Tom. He is just so blech and grotsky to me. People with soul patches need an intervention.

After watching bourdain visit emeril on his New Orleans No Reservations, he came away with a newfound respect and liking for him. I love bourdain, so I'm taking his word for it.

Top Chef Gives Cheftestapants A Second Chance To Lose

Tuesday, September 20, 2011, by Amy McKeever

Because it wouldn't be Top Chef without nonsensical plot twists, Bravo has announced that the upcoming season of the show will feature various gimmicks called "transmedia play." What does this mean? Well, most importantly, Tom Colicchio will now be hosting a weekly online competition that will pit two previous eliminated contestants against one another. The winner moves to the next round of the online show and so on until "the ultimate winner will get to return for the on-air finale." Plot twist! Alhough it's unclear whether this means they will get to return to compete or whether they will return to be a lowly kitchen assistant.

Also, viewers can now "earn points" for their favorite chefs by voting during the episodes and just generally driving up the Bravo website's traffic numbers as much as possible by watching videos and playing games. These points will not determine the actual winner of Top Chef — viewers are not yet that powerful. Instead, these points will determine the Fan Favorite at the end of the season. Please note, too, that all of this is coming to you courtesy of Toyota, so expect to see a whole lot of Toyota references this season on Top Chef Texas.

Someone gets to return based on online votes... I doubt they get to return to competition.

They're not returning based on online votes- it's redemption Island, which makes infinitely more sense on this type of show than it does on Survivor.

that'll teach me to read and copy something when my Immovane is kicking in.... online competition to return. So maybe they will return to the competition. But it is all up to Tom?? Well we can count on a man being the redeemed chef.

Wasn't Emeril on a episode (or more) before, and turned out to be a fairly useless Cuntlicchio asslicker? Or am I confusing him with Wolfgang.

Hopefully this season they drop the charade and just cast all fat fucks that look like Tom and maybe one butch lesbo.

I think it was Wolfgang Puke. I somewhat remember the episode. Based on what we were shown, Puke liked a contestant better than the one Tom liked.. and it was like a 5 - 4 split amongst the people around the table. When they came back to judges table, Tom's choice won and Puke was agreeing with Tom. We later learned that Tom and Puke "talked" between the dining and the judging an Puke changed his mind.

I really don't like Puke, especially after his judging stint on The Next Food Network Star where he LEFT the table to take a contestant into the kitchen to show her the "proper" way to make Risotto... without even tasting her dish. Screw you, you pretentious twunt.

Ditto.

I'd rather watch Emeril (if he acts the way he did on Bourdain's show) than that asshole Tom.

Actually, I'm bummed that Ripert is gone though, he is really the only reason I watched last year.

Let me guess, Tom will be the only judge on the Redemption Island cook-offs and each week, a pork cooking fat-ass bald guy (Tom clone) will win that?

I just detest him. Probably enough to not bother watching this.

So Hughnibrow is supposed to be Bourdain-light? I mean, that's why they hired him right? For the snark factor?

Can't wait for another season-long bitchfest about Tom.

Hell, one of the reasons Houston tops the FATTEST CITIES list is because of all the great food down here. And other than steakhouses, DALLAS has nothing to offer to the food scene that you can't get for better in Houston, Austin and in some cases, San Antonio.

You just don't know where to eat in Dallas...

Now Austin, that's not a foodie city. At all. Music and nightlife, yes, but food? Meh. I still love it there, but not because of the great restaurants.

The reason Houstonites are fat has nothing to do with the food. It's the weather. Too hot and humid to exercise.

I know where to eat in Dallas. I endured the Metroplex for 9 years. It's just that everywhere to eat is mostly the same, overrated, overpriced chains that the Highland Park/Addison/Southlake/Plano Ameri-trash fawn over.

Like I said, you just didn't know where to go, Papayoke. :) There's more to the Metroplex than Uncle Julio's and the Olive Garden, even in freaking Southlake.
