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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Still, I will bet cash money that someone from his group is the ultimate winner.

Oh, that wouldn't surprise me at all. Like I said, it was probably better for them in the long run.
I'm also really enjoying that they're in Seattle. One of the few cities they've done that I know even a little more than casually if at all. I mean I've been to New York more times, but definitely feel like I know it a whole lot less.

I may have to give this season a chance then. Honestly, after last season I was willing to never watch it again. Between the repellant contestants, the idiotic weekly challenges (we're in Texas! let's do a steak barbeque every week!) and the nonsensical finale there was nothing left to draw me back.

Sitting with Morgana and nodding.
I didn't even know TC was on and have a distinct lack of interest.
