Oh Top Chef last night was really good. I watched it twice (rewatch with the oldest kid). I was was so glad that they didn't seem to keep anyone just to cause drama unnecessarily. I'm also pleased with the number of female chefs this round. The pedigree of all that have made it so far is pretty outstanding.

I actually loved Coach for a minute there.
Oh man, I wanted to smack him. "I know the feeling of being in a group of people and being superior to them in some ways." Oh, poor baby, really? How did you ever survive?
(I actually started quoting The Social Network while DH and I were watching that scene. Coach, you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're The Dragonslayer. But it won't be because you're a dragonslayer, it'll be because you're an asshole.)
Yeah, got rid of that obnoxious personal chef before he even cooked a bite. Ha!
That was fantastic. And they didn't even taste the vegan chef with the spilled soup, did they?
No, they didn't. The presentation alone was enough to dump him.
Oh, and ditto the woman who didn't have the rabbit on the plate.
I have to say, I liked the lack of consideration. You fucked up on a basic level? You're OUT.
That's right.
Yeah, it was pretty awesome.
TAR: I'm just glad that Justin and Jennifer were nice to each other at the end.
They went out classy.
The grandparents did kick butt.
Cindy is a scrapper, but you know pro athletes are not going to drop back and let you win. She took it in good grace once she caught her breath.
I just hope she owns having not U-Turned them. They are the only team I'd even bother with the U-Turn on.
