Yeah, Marcel said in the team version of Top Chef that he and Hung were friends.

Thoughts-

Lots of cute-ish girls. I think my fave is the Asian.

Hung seems like a guy who wants to be the bad guy, but might actually be nice. He seems like he has chops.

The Dale dude sounds and kinda holds himself a lot like Sam from last season.

That Clay dude needs a hug, but he was so outlclassed that I'm wondering how he got on the show.

Howie is like Herk from The Wire (or Dom from Entourage) 's older brother.

I'm not sure if it was clear that that one guy was from New York.

Tony Bourdain rules.

Gail is still mine (fu earlier people in thread, I've had dibs for two years).

15 seems like almost too many chefs. So many people just got glossed over this ep.

They didn't show us nearly enough to make pics. These guys all have pretty solid resumes. I read on egullet that one of them (don't recall who) has been twice nominated for a James Beard award (cooking oscar basically). Edit- It's Tre, not shocking.

One of the asses in the intro shot was unreal. More plz.

I totally agree. This episode was not nearly detailed enough.

Why didn't they do a serpentine selection for the surf and turf?

Also, I still believe Salman Rushdie has Padme's parents locked up in a secret prison somewhere.

I am now obsessed with goooooeyduck.

BTW, my friend does PR and he's just starting working with Padma. I hate his guts.

What happened with that gigantic scar on her right arm? It was funny watching them position her as much as possible in the show and the commercials so it didn't show. It is nasty though. Was that there the first season?

P.S.: I still need to bang her. Very much.

Blarg,

Last season they went to amazing lenghts to hide that scar. It's very old, from a car accident. I guess this year they were like "ok, instead of hiding it, we're going to but shiney ass glitter make up on it and just flaunt it".

Also- that one dude is TALL. Like they didn't mention it or anything, and then there's one shot where Howie falls back in line next to him and his shoulders aren't even in frame.

Padme's such a retard, "couldn't he have fried anything?"

I wish they just cut all 4 of the bottom guys and saved us some time, they're all going.

No doubt. Plus, gives more time to focus on the better cooks.

Of course, there is always the chance that someone from that group emerges as this season's Mikey - the lovable screwup that seems to squeak through until late in the season.

Clay had a chance at that but he was so insecure. Although definitely part of his problem, Mikey never really gave a rat's ass.

I thought she was pretty funny, saying something like, "Well, you can fry anything. You could fry my big toe and it would take good."
