I agree- Brian's limitations have been showing for a few weeks.

Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
From Rocco's blog:
I watch Top Chef for Dale’s comments as much as the results of the Elimination Challenge.
I am so with him on this. Dale better stay in 'til the last episode so we continue to get his comments.
Poor CJ, though. I liked him. Not the best chef, but so adorable. And tall.
Why do I never remember this show is on Wednesdays? I come in here and get spoiled every Thursday. (Good thing I don't much care.)
Harold, he just really doesn't like salmon:
Obviously, there’s some common sense stuff, like, “Stay away from the salmon”, which I’ve been saying from day one. Stay away from the salmon. I hate to preach to the choir, but...stay away from the salmon.

hah! It was crazy that so many of them picked fish. But then it sounded like a some of the flight attendants actually really liked Sarah's dish but Collichio & Bourdain got bad pieces.
And I'm wondering what she did to the couscous to make it so bad or blah or whatever it was!
This has probably been mentioned here and elsewhere, but just in case: Charisma Carpenter is going to be on The Apprentice.
I think it was just blah - i.e., she needed to do more to the couscous and then she admitted it was an afterthought.
Talked to Howie today. He was his usual refreshingly blunt, humorless self. He's back home in North Miami but not for long ("I'm ready for a change"). His plan is to open a contemporary American restaurant in New York in the "next six months." Partners are people he's met since the show, some who contacted him, impressed by his food on the show, he said. Details are still being finalized as he is still scouting spaces, location and name. It's looking to be on the Lower East Side and yes, pork will be on the menu.
Harold, he just really doesn't like salmon:
I think his earlier point still holds. I can't think of a single TC cheftestant who has done salmon successfully on the show. It's like the Salmon Triangle over there.
