And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think it was the first real episode - I haven't caught up yet, but it looked like the season premiere was a special one-off thing.

The premiere was the judges testing the various chefs before allowing them into the actual competition. It's a very interesting season so far.

Yeah, it was an interesting approach. The out-of-the-gate eliminations about about the one good thing that came out of TC Texas.

OK, I'm only up to the classroom portion, but I think Jaymes might be my favorite racer ever.
And the professor may be my favorite local.
But also seriously, is this the craziest series of events to happen on a race ever? More than one team so far behind for so long?

Actually getting your stuff STOLEN by a taxi driver was a race first, I'm sure.
I'm glad somebody went to the cocktail party -- those local actors were having a blast. Not to mention the 'professor' at the Agricultural school.
Count me worried about James/Jaymes' ankle -- it's only going to get worse from here.

Yeah. I understand why they wanted to, but doing the dance option was a bad decision. I suspect they'd have sucked at the other challenge, but there was a lot of room for that given how spread out the teams were.
I'm pretty sure someone's had a driver take off with their stuff in the back, but it didn't include their passports.

FWIW, I'm really liking this season of Top Chef. I liked the preliminiary challenge a lot, though I felt bad for the group that ended up with Tom C, because the other judges basically had the chefs do a dish with certain parameters, while Tom's group had full dinner prep and service. It's probably better for them in the long run, but talk about going through a lot just to get elminated for the ones that were.
