    Warning-Its nine pages long

    I checked out the pictures of the contestants this year on bravotv.com and I'd say that Antonia is cute, Nikki has a nice body but in her pic on there her face looks ancient.
    Ooh, thanks! :)
    Let it be known that I said Antonia was cute first! I can call em. :p

    Hehehe...yeah, I can only cook about 5 things that are edible, and that's one of them. I don't know if they were trying to be pc or not, but they sure did pick a stinker with her. She didn't even seem to care that she was kicked out either!


    :o you like my description? I couldn't remember the guy's name or any distinguishing characteristics about him, so breaded chicken guy he became :D

    You need some acid in a scampi. Lemon juice and then some white wine.

    I love shrimp. :) Or prawns...sorry to everyone across the pond. :p

    I think we are being too hard on the poor slobs. :p It was only the first week.
    Remember that crazy old blonde lady from the 1st season that had to leave to take care of her father?? I loved watching her...bless that mess.
    It always happens with Bravo shows....they get watered down by people looking for their 15 min after the first season.
    I still love it though.

    Padma tired???? Baby bump????? Her stomach was flat as a pancake.

    I don't remember that crazy old lady but I only started watching a few episodes in..

    Antonia is kind of cute, like in a sister way..we'll see how it unfolds..

    Yes, but I didn't want to make Mer feel ever worse about forgetting the most important ingredients. :p
    She is new to the whole Top Chef thing...don't want to frighten my friend away.
    :)
    I think she looks better for not being with him.
    The lighting in Uno's is atrocious. :p

    I miss Hell's Kitchen. Though they always pick these trashy people to be on it, don't you think? They all smoke and drink. I don't like the idea of the person cooking my food to be a smoker. Ick.

    oops...edit to say I don't think drinkers and smokers are trashy. Easy now, ya'll. ;)

    ahh don't you miss the day when people could take a joke. but then again does smoking affect the cooking????

    i think i like this show better this year because im actually cooking this year. its so much fun to pretend im a great chef in the kitchen.. what doesnt everyone pretend they are on a cooking show everytime they make a meal?? no??

    kitchen work is not a glamourous job

    I have no issues with what others choose to do to their body

    I just miss gordon calling people donkey!

    It's psychosomatic. I have nothing against smokers cooking my food on a personal level.
    Anytime the cooks were in downtime they just sat around all dirty, gross, drunk and chain smoking. That's all.

    She is kind of cute. I have no sound at work and as such have no idea what she is describing with 50 seconds left, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with cooking and is banned in 47 states.

    That moron made fucking nachos..

    Even though it’s taking place in Chicago the show should be appropriately renamed Top Chef New York. Over half of the cast work in New York City, and even that semi mohawk guy who looks exactly the same as the lesbian chick, is originally from New York. The slightly retarded fella from Australia works in some NYC restaurant named ‘Public Restaurant,’ what the fuck is that? Btw, wasn’t the lesbian chick also a contestant last year? Very confusing season thus far..

    This season already seems to lack the tension of previous competitions. Last season at least we had the two fatties going at it from the start while Hung nearly maimed everyone in the kitchen with his incredible knife skills.

    I feel sorry for the wannabe Hung who is a year too late, though he does work in a decent restaurant downtown. Someone already mentioned this but what the fuck is up with the red/orange headed dude cussing up a storm..lol…btw, so far I’d probably only bang Nikki in case you’re wondering..

    Western, did you pick someone to ride yet? I’m getting close..


    Alright champ, i'm actually going to agree w/ a bit here. Can't stand the red headed guy...or Nimma. i was pretty happy she got kicked off right away. I don't think he'll last long either. Also...note to champ...hung was last season...time to pick a new guy ;)

    Anyways, my pick to win...the mohawk guy, richard. He seems to have all the skills. I'm still trying to sort through the people i like though. So far it's betwween mark, spike and stephanie. Probably the two i'd most like to see get the boot....dale and andrew.

    Fuck it's hard to type w/ one hand...just had shoulder surgery yesterday

    What the fuck you doing up at 3 AM? You know the show airs at 10, then again at 11 right..

    HAHA! Knowing Bravo it will re-air about 47 times before next weeks episode. I dvr'ed it at 10 but haven't been getting to sleep lately until around 4 a.m. so what else to do at that time than watch some Top Chef?!? :D
