Yeah, I think that Andrew is manic. Like, seriously. I'm still liking him though. Of course, I hate Colicchio, so I enjoy anything that upsets him.

I thought the guy with the attitude hat was the most obnoxious until that whole "my house" shit.

They sent the right chef home, though. Corndogs barely stay crispy through the time your eating them, let alone covered, transported, etc. He should have known. That entire team has a monster attitude problem (if the previews weren't done by crack monkeys).

I thought that whole team's attitude (except, I will grudgingly admit, Dale) was just nasty. "Let's make food these locals will enjoy" somehow did not equal "Let's make great tasting, high quality food." WTF? You were there as chefs not entertainers. Nobody is gonna care if you were magic in the dunk tank if your food sucked.

So Dolly Parton next week on AI? Whee!

Of course, I hate Colicchio, so I enjoy anything that upsets him.

::faints::

After the horror of these past two weeks, these kids are not even really worthy of her. I have no doubt that Dolly will totally rock it as a mentor, though. If anyone can pull greatness out of these fools, it's her.

Don't let Kristy Lee anywhere near Coat of Many Colors. Don't let Syesha or Ramiele anywhere near I Will Always l Love You. And for god's sake, don't let David frikkin' Cook emo up 9 to 5. I want to see him sing something straight out without tricking it out all to hell and back.

Dolly on AI? Oh mercy, I may have to go hunt up a tv for that.

Somebody's gotta do Jolene.

And as sweet as Dolly is, she must have a spine of steel. An excellent role model.

I can't wait for Dolly Parton Week! Dolly Rocks!

I'm glad that guy went home tonight. I seriously hated his "mexican can't be fine dining" that shows lack of...well a lack of a lot of things but flexibility is one of them. I didn't get teh whole "oh noes! taco into fine dining" we're talking about a show that gave it's contestants a roll of quarters and vending machines to make fine cuisine.

Plus hated the attitude about what the people were expecting. They saw what was in some of those houses and the people who'd gone to the farmer's market. The attitudes just showed a lack of awareness of things outside themselves.

After the horror of these past two weeks, these kids are not even really worthy of her. I have no doubt that Dolly will totally rock it as a mentor, though. If anyone can pull greatness out of these fools, it's her.

yeah, I was like, "so who would be the ideal person to do Jolene?" And I couldn't think of one. So I'm not sure why I'm still watching. But I will damn straight be watching for Dolly.

Top Chef:

I am so pissed at all the stereotyping this show. Hello! I am from the midwest. I have heard of this thing you call qweezeen! I will eat it, yes! You don't have to make me fucking sliders (which they weren't, if they weren't steamed!) you bunch of snobs.

Seriously.

You get ingredients fresh from the farmers market, you get tons of meat and all kinds of craziness, and you serve me hot dogs and velveeta? I don't know, people, in the midwest, this is where all your food grows! You need to learn that middle america is about fresh ingredients straight from the fields.

Was the guy who didn't know what a waldorf salad the same as the guy who didn't know what chicken piccata was? (Speaking of which, I was so cranky at them not knowing about it that I went to a little local pizza joint and ordered it...and it came with tomatoes. I was all, ohnoes!)

And yeah, Mexican can't be upscale? Excuse me?

Also,

YOU DON'T TALK SMACK TO THE BIG BEAR.

Srsly. That's a world of oh hells no! I loved his little reaction shot.
