A list of Top 25 TAR teams without The Guidos? Uchenna and Joyce make it on the list over Chip and Kim? Automatically invalid. There were teams on that list that I barely even remember.

-t, I too was glad that Eddie left when he did and now I'm happy for Lainie that she ended her own misery. Bless her heart. She obviously has talent, but I wonder sometimes what the producers are thinking on these shows when they choose obviously emotionally fragile contestants.
I appreciated that they didn't exploit her exit any more than they did.
I'm a bit annoyed that Miranda lucked out so. Her performance this week begs my question before about how much of her success so far is based on the help that she was able to get from others. Now that they are down to the final four, no one has time to carry her...except for her poor model! In the promo package they had Glenn saying something like 'If you did that to a director, you'd be gone.' I was SO hoping he'd said it to her.
It isn't fair that such shoddy work bore no consequence and, if I were Laura or Tate (who I'm supporting to win) I'd be peeved.
Speaking of the producers' choices, did anyone else get the vibe that the 'shocking twist' for this episode was going to be that Tate was sick? I've watched it a couple of times and it really jumps out at me.
Roy seems to understand the providence on his side. Bless him. He's good, but not as good as Laura or Tate.
I really want Miranda gone. She complains every fucking week. I'm over her.
Right. And she's a veteran. Nothing about the process should be a surprise to her, even if she only made it to week three in her previous season.
Watched Top Chef NOLA. Man, they were really setting that Travis dude up for a fall, weren't they? I reallllllly want to go to Dong Phuong tomorrow.
I love the Vietnamese culture here, it's so cool.
Travis was on my last nerve. I really think he should have gone home.
Can't believe that they didn't send Travis home. I've been ready for him to go since he unabashedly copped to his Asian men fetish in episode one.
On my way to INg restaurant for some birthday molecular gastronomy. (Sunil, if you read this thread, same chef as Moto. )
Sous chefs from Moto were on TC last year, so kind of on topic.
I've been ready for him to go since he unabashedly copped to his Asian men fetish in episode one.
Oh my God, that was so gross. If he had said, "my boyfriend is Vietnamese so I had a reasonable amount of exposure to Vietnamese cuisine," that would be perfectly fine. But the whole "I only date Asian men" thing just skeeved me out like whoa. Yellow fever is icky whether the recipient is women or men, yo. And the way he tried to position himself as this brilliant expert in all things Vietnamese, like dude, you are some pasty white dude who traveled to the country once. Don't call it "my food" and try to take fucking ownership. It was like an one-man cultural appropriation theater. (CUT HIM QUICK, PADMA.)
