Top Chef!!!
The restaurants looked much better this time around (obviously, with a designer's input!), especially Restaurant April. Loved the creamy colors and the stenciled walls.
Okay, quickfire. What the hell was Casey thinking, chopping onions as if it mattered what they looked like? Speed was of the essence, and she's dicing and chopping like a 90 year old woman with arthritic elbows and prosthetic hands. JEEBUS! My knife skills are for squat and I'm pretty sure I could dice five onions a little more quickly than that.
Padma's dress...gorgeous color! Very creamy pale greenish turquoise. Sometimes I love the way she talks and other times it drives me bats. All draggy and slighty slurred, like the novocaine's wearing off. At one point, it looked as though she'd dressed up her arm scar with a little gold paint or something, but that's probably the crack talking.
Eeeeep! I think Tre's down for the count, which is too bad. He's a class act, and I hate to lose him. If he's kicked, I won't have a clear favorite to win. I'd have to go with...Hung, I think, though he can be incredibly annoying (Hello, not tasting something in a tasting competition, just going on sight? I laughed when his ass was wrong).
Commercial break -- Tim Gunn's new show! I can't wait! I wish I were a gay man so that Tim Gunn could be one of my gentleman callers. ::le sigh:: I love Tim Gunn.
No! Tre lost, dammit! I knew it. I'd have canned either Bryan or CJ, the bastiges. Crap. I guess I'll have to put my money on Hung now, though I'm pretty sure he won't win. Also, I get physically ill when I see sweat drops dangling from the end of Howie's nose. Why does he not wear a headband? Why hasn't anyone mentioned it!?
Tre, going out like a man and a true gentleman. What an exit interview! Elvis has left the building. ::sniff::
I need a food icon.

Oh, the sweat on Howie. Ugh! Isn't that a health hazard or something?
Love love love Tim Gunn. I'm surprised they didn't call the show "Tim Gunn Makes It Work!"
I'm wondering what the next Bravo reality show will be. Top Figure skater? Top Actor? Top Prom Date? They're running out of sterotypically gay male occupations.
I'm thinking Hung and Howie for the finale, but one never knows. I loved seeing Steven again!

That takes the win for all time. Clearly you should be at Bravo making decisions!
Top Figure skater? Top Actor? Top Prom Date? They're running out of sterotypically gay male occupations.
ROFL! Top Prom Date! That's my favorite, but I'm thinking Top Figure Skater could - GOD HELP US ALL - actually get some play.
Did you watch the last Winter Olympics? There was one guy, I can't think of his name, Johnny something? Carried a Louis Vuitton bag, *very* flamboyant. He'd be a regular on the panel, of course. They'd have cross-overs, naturally, with the Project Runway contestants doing a(nother) figure skater outfit challenge, and Michael Kors would pop in to critque the fashion aspect of their skating presentations. The Top Chef kids would have a competition to whip up the perfect training meal (also been done, but it's my fantasy, dammit!).
Oh, the sweat on Howie. Ugh! Isn't that a health hazard or something?
One of the most disgusting things I've seen. I keep waiting for *someone* to call him on it. He completely creeps me out. I think you're right though, I really wouldn't be surprised to find him in the finale. Oy!

The thing about him that cracked me up was at the beginning of the season, when he'd get into arguments with people, Joey especially, he'd point his finger and crick his neck to the side in a somewhat rhythmic fashion that made me think of popping and locking. *Is Howie trying to breakdance fight?* I thought to myself. Hilarious.

ROFL! Okay, clearly that's the next program: Top Breakdancer.

1. The bread pudding wasn't really a bread pudding.
2. His beef tenderloin dish wasn't original the first time around.
3. His salmon dish completely bombed.
4. He didn't run his kitchen the way an executive chef should have.
The sum of his errors was so great that it just seemed like he's not quite ready to be an executive chef yet.

I know, you're right. ::sniff:: Still...he was so cute when he smiled! Those dimples!
I'm glad that he won a trip to Italy, at least. I think Chef Tom is the one who said it, the team suffered from over-confidence. I think I'd still have picked Bryan or CJ's ass to toss on the fire, though. Maybe. ::grumbles::

All the judges said that Tre was unquestionable the right choice to cut, but that it still wasn't easy to do so.
