TC: Any of them good have gone and I would have been happy, but StephanieLisa complaining about someone not following the rules is just too much from someone that wouldn't use her main required ingrediant just a few weeks ago.

More importantly, what did Sam do to his hair?

ETA: Oops, I meant Lisa!

Top Chef: OMG, Sam is so hot! I miss Sam.

What? Content? Oh, right.

Hey...here's the rice fuckup I've been waiting for this season and every season. LEARN TO COOK RICE, PEOPLES! Okay, brown rice is marginally harder than white rice, but still.

Totally shitty of Lisa during the Judging Table of Doom. No reason for it, and Andrew was right to be pissed. Although, also, he needs to do the challenge. Whatev.

I agree that this is the whiniest season. It's so bad I feel like I'm getting ripped off with less judging table discussion in order to get all the stew room drama. I do not care about your drama, peoples, I care about your food.

Which is why Dale is growing on me. It's starting to look like he really has talent, and that at least some of the assholery did have to do with the other people involved. He does have a temper and should learn to keep that in check.

Oh, and srsly on the Top Caterer thing. I am so sick of those stupid coolers. I guess I should count my blessings. At least they're not "5-day wheeled coolers by Coleman, with Super Insulating Technology." or somesuch.

Anyway, yay Restaurant Wars.

Oh, and I stopped watching ANTM (the screaming, the screaming!) but this:

EAT ME, AND THEN MAYBE YOU'LL BE A BIT HEAVY, BIOTCH.

Don't try and tell me how horrible your life has been with the girls telling you backhandedly how you don't look "that fat" and how you've always felt different, and yadda yadda. EAT ME, AND THEN MAYBE YOU'LL BE A BIT HEAVY, BIOTCH.

Seriously! Is she even as big as a 10?

LEARN TO COOK RICE, PEOPLES! Okay, brown rice is marginally harder than white rice, but still.

I also want to know how turning a burner UP causes something to be undercooked. That's a special kind of sabotage power there.

(laughing out loud) I know, right?

Ted Allen makes me laugh:

- Fifty bucks says that in six months Sam will be dating Mary-Kate, Ashley, or John Mayer.

Well, it would have boiled the water dry before the rice had time to cook. (That's my understanding of it. . . not that I've done anything like that myself.)

The bottom 3 was my list of the next three people to go. I think I might have picked Spike or Lisa over Andrew - but it is just a matter of time.

I agree. Spike was a mega-douchnozzle with the ingredients, barely used 3 of them, and then didn't even make a decent chicken salad when that was ALL he did. I think Andrew got the axe because he basically pulled the same crap Ryan did ("I'm going to cook MY way yadda yadda yadda, nyah nyah nyah!").

Andrew was let go because he didn't care about flavors and it showed. At least Spike and Lisa were trying to make food that tasted good.

(Though I'll agree that Spike's douchnozzlery should have gotten him the boot anyway. But I might just think that because I HATE HIM SO MUCH AND HIS STUPID STUPID HATS.)

I was very pleassed that the two Chicagoans were the top two.

There were ample reasons to axe any of the bottom 3. . . wouldn't it have been fun if they had canned all three? (But they need to have 6 cheftestants for Restaurant Wars. I'm so glad that they are doing Restaurant Wars.
