TOP CHEF Spoilers
I'm pleased with the direction the challenges are taking this season, and I was bemused by the reaction of Jamie and a couple of others, i.e., I'm Not A TV Person I'm A Chef. Yes, you're a chef -- on a TV series, competing with other chefs, trying to leapfrog to star status which will get you... TV time. If you've never thought of having your own TV show, seriously, why are you on Top Chef?
I've gotta say, Fabio complains about everything. Even when he's winning.
I was worried that Jamie might get kicked off because of her underdone egg. Melissa perhaps should've gone -- habanero is simply too much for most home cooks, especially for a 2-1/2 minute segment (and she took the well-meant "stand up for yourself" advice a little too much to heart at Judges' Table). But Alex, trying for a freakin' creme brulee, had the least clue of all, and he's outta there.
(I'm a touch miffed by the extra prizes. It bugged me last year -- Steph got a kitchen and a trip to Italy, Richard got a car. A cookbook here, a spiff autographed knife there, that's one thing. But Rocco has a grab bag of a couple dozen of his favorite kitchen tools? That's a few hundred to a couple thousand right there. But that may just be me.)
Next week: Gail's wedding shower. Big, BIG trouble, unless I miss my guess.
Thoughts?
