Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Okay, I'm reading through the Top Chef blogs, which I haven't done in a while, and I've got a couple of questions, if anybody here can offer up any kind of answer:

What the hell is the Team Top Chef blog? Who's that supposed to be written by?

And who the hell are Bethenny and Andrea (each with their own blog). I do not recognize them as previous contestants.

And why the hell are those bizarre and alien blogs listed before past cheftestants on the blog, and even Gail?

Because books.

Bethenny is from Real Housewives of New York City, I think. She may be a caterer or something.

I haven't read that blog so it may not be the same person, by there was a contestant named Andrea in S1. She was a health-food nut and (I think) a personal chef.

I would have thought so too, Jess, but it's not that Andrea. The picture is of some dark haired woman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure the blogs are listed in recently-updated order, so that's why that is.

Okay, that makes a certain amount of sense.

Is the Andrea blog from that food blogger who was a guest judge last year?

I turned on the (rerun?) of the Best Dance Crew audition show, and the midwest bracket was ROUGH, conceptually/theoretically/stereotypically. There were three teams: one with a deaf guy, one mostly-black group dressed like bums (on purpose), and one mostly-white group with popped collars and jackets on. Who goes home?? The dressed-like-bums team, as it turns out.
