Re: Top Chef 7/18
This was my analysis after 2 episodes:
[ QUOTE ] Obviously very hard to tell with only 2 episodes in the books, but I thought I'd give it a shot: <u>Top 4</u> Hung - clearly very competent Tre - very odd that he seasoned his dish wrong last night... represents alot of variance to me based on that alone Joey - alot of this is based on his background. His dishes also seemed above-average. Also (and I think I'm in the minority) I kind of like him. Casey - I withdraw my opinion from E1 thread, she's the hottest on the show. I think she may be pretty talented also at the very least she's spunky and has confidence. Not getting rattled easily is pretty big, imo. <u>Middle-Of-The-Pack</u> Dale - think Dids mentioned he reminds him of Sam from S2. I kind of agree with that in his approach, though nerves might be an issue. Could easily slide in Top 4. Sarah M (cheesemaker) - seems talented though really have not much info on her (except she had worked with Geoduck before). Also could see her moving up. Brian (seafood sausage) - eh, his presentation seems sloppy, sorta reminds me of Dave from S1 (guessing flavors are strong and there, execution not the sharpest) Camille - her restaurant emphasizes simplicity so straightforward execution could keep her around, but she doesn't seem to be that well-rounded. Sara N (Dids gf) - her bbq dish was pretty whatever imo. Nerves obviously an issue... competent enough but think she's gone soon. Micah - also represents alot of variance they're portraying her as very talented but a space cadet. <u>Bottom 3</u> Lia - her lamb dish from E1 was kind of weak, but she seems to have her head about her, and I think this is pretty key to advancing, hard to tell with her CJ (tall dude) - bet he does not have the chops to stick around long Howie - who cuts their meat early? Even I know that will really dry it out. That's retarded I think he might not be very good. <u>Eliminated</u> Sandee - kind of robbed last night? I don't know hard to tell, her fake bbq dish sounded delicious to me though. Clay - wonder why they chose him... just to show that this season's caliber of chef is very high? He definitely felt like a sacrificial lamb type choice. -Al [/ QUOTE ] Looking at that list, Casey has disappointed (primarily due to lack of hot tub scene), and obviously I was way off on Howie. Also thought Sara N. should've gotten the boot tonight. Ranking Through 5 Episodes: <u>Top 4</u> Tre - always a contender, had momentary bbq stumble, been strong ever since. Hung - he's gonna be fine. Joey - do you guys still hate him as much as you did before? I've always been sort of a fan, and he showed something tonight. Brian - he's surprised me a bit, very strong I'd say overall. <u>Middle-Of-The-Pack</u> Howie - he's so due for a meltdown (again), so can't put the guy in Top 4. Dale - think he's got it in him to pull off a nice comeback, still around despite 2 mediocore showings. Sarah M (cheesemaker) - who knows, she doesn't suck I guess. <u>Bottom 3</u> Casey - only hot chick left plz keep her around. CJ - he represents alot of variance can't tell, seems talented could make a push up. Sara N - zzzzzzz so boring. <u>Eliminated</u> Lia Camille Micah Sandee Clay -Al |
