Oh, one thing I loved in the LXD number was the guy who was moving in slow motion while the other three dancers where just whizzing around. Excellent!

Trust my rage

WHo was eliminated on Top Chef? My Tivo cut it off just as Tom was telling the remaining three how they were all great but someone had to go.

eta: Previous comments upthread seem to hint it was Jen?

It was. Sadly.

That's too bad. She was so awesome through much of the season. I'd love to hear her own thoughts on what happened to her in this show.

Well, I guess that just leaves the brothers and Kevin. I like Kevin. Is Bryan the cool, slightly older and nicer brother? And Michael is the sort of douch-y one?

Yes and yes, at least in my opinion (on the nicer vs. douch-y - Bryan is the older one definitely)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Come on -- Michael is like a douche-a-palooza.

It's just I've seen some people complaining (I don't think here though) how obnoxiously passive-agressive Bryan is, but I don't really see him that way.

I could see Bryan as passive-aggressive, but I still like him way more than his brother.

Art Crawl!!!

Apparently, (read on TWOP) the quickfire winning Buffalo Wings recipe that Michael made was actually originated by his brother.

oooh, tacky! I mean, all chefs use things originated by other chefs, but to do a dish from someone else in the competition is not cool. And you know that if the situation had been reversed, Micheal would have been the first person bitching about it.
