Top Chef: Who actually won the money this week? My recording was glitchy for a couple of minutes. So, I saw the elimination but not the win.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

SJ - can't remember her name off hand, but it was the one who was already going on to the finals. If was one of the two woman, anyway. The one with the shorter hair.

Did anyone watch the Taste?
I have to admit, my favorite part of the whole season was last night when they showed all the clips of Ludo sulking because he lost .

Ooh, I can play ita here (and play is a very loose term, but i know if she was a regular in this thread, she'd say this) - if it's been broadcast, no need to white font.
Dammit. Now I'm tearing up over this.

I havne't watched the last episodes but after Ludo's behavior during the Latin Challenge episode i'm glad he lost. He was so immature.
Oh Marcus's team won!! YAY I wanted Marcus to win. If I were going on the Taste I would go with Marcus. Anthony Bourdain is ...well Anthony Bourdain, but I like Marcus's mentoring style. I'd go with Nigella as a mentor over Ludo.

In terms of Bravo food shows, I really like the three that are in the final three (and am not opposed to either of the last chance kitchen folk). Maybe that makes it a boring season, but I like.
I also really like the new Best New Restaurant show. It's got a lot of potential IMO.

Happy with the results on The Taste. I don't like Ludo but I think he's a good mentor for people that don't mind yelling. He picks really good things for his team to make during the team challenges and teaches technique well. Nigella picks horrible things and doesn't really teach well, which is odd given her background. I would definitely pick Marcus. Tony plays favorites to often.

Nigella isn't very strategic with her team challenge choices. Both in terms of what she picks and which bite she picks. The only thing I can throw out as an example is the Holiday challenge when she went with a dessert KNOWING that chefs don't like sweet. And she had to know that chef in particular didn't like sweets. (She's an exec producer, she had to know that).
I was sorry to see Dan go home but I thought it was really classy the way he stepped up. I didn't like Jen at first but I thought she really caught on and learned and got better (or maybe they edited her better), plus she refused to name someone on her team to go home. I get why the mentors do that, but pick someone.
I haven't watched the semi finals or the finale but I'll go back and watch. I just wish on demand didn't have the fast forward function locked out.
