    I'm right there with you except I'll remove the "so far" part. The rest of the cast looks like they were plucked from an Indigo Girls concert.

    You catch everything man, good call ;)..

    The Christmas Special?? On TC?? Nope. Just seen a few epis here and there. But I watch No Reservations religiously!

    I take it Bourdain is the Simon Cowell of Top Chef?

    I caught the last 3/4 of the show last night and I'll probably continue watching. I think they got it right by getting rid of the girl that couldn't cook a scampi. I'm not a very good cook, but even I can do that dish. I don't think the breaded chicken guy is going to last very long either.

    1) AMEN!! I can whip up a damn good shrimp scampi...and I don't consider myself a good cook by far. My personal opinion? TPTB were trying to be politically correct by having a muslim on the show.

    2) LOL @ "breaded chicken guy"!! :D

    Nimma covered both bases. 2 birds. 1 stone. Plus, they have a lesbian couple...that counts double in the politically correct category.

    I find Antonia attractive. :o
    And she can cook.
    She just seems cozy.

    I loved that Bourdin was there last night. lol
    I will never forget the Flintstonian execution. :p

    Padma and those dresses and boots...holy mackeral. :eek:

    Oh anyway, the food. I needed a glass of water just hearing about that salty scampi. Ick. And potatoes and rice all over a plate of chicken piccatta???
    Antonia is going to make it to the final 3.

    Cozy is the PERFECT word for Antonia. And, I'm not really sure how I feel about Spike.

    I think it was as they were getting ready to display the results from the text challenge, it was a taped promo she was in a tight little number doing circles while holding two knives and shifting them around. It was over as soon as it started (I know Dunk can relate) ;) so I had to rewind it once or forty times to see it again! :D
