Al,

Seriously, your mom's face is looking a bit haggard.

is it just me or have we seen a spam and eggs dish a few times in previous seasons?

It's a reasonably common pairing I think.

Somebody ask Blarg or something, Hawaiians LOVE spam.

It's actually not that bad. Preformed hotdog or something.

I feel like Hung is a bomb waiting to go off. he's either going to win this or go down in flames before the final 3 or 4.

Casey seems to do well or kind of skate by so i like her for the final 2 or 3.

Brian even when he does well seems to not come off very well in the judges eyes.

I'm not sure what to think of Dale.

I'll say CJ or Hung wins it.

If CJ makes fish sausage again they should can him on the spot.

This "stepping down" move is so played out. Contestant X knows they are going home so in a pathetic attempt to save face, and not be embarrassed by getting kicked off the show, they voluntarily leave.

This was different from when Mia left. Mia wasn't going to be sent home.

Oh... I kind of thought she was likely getting sent home, which motivated Mia to do what she did.

Iirc, someone else was head chef in a group and was looking alot like they were going to be sent. They may have even said the decision, I'm not sure. Mia screwed up her dish but seemed to be getting a pass on it. She felt responsible for the chick being on the block so instead she took the hit.

Very different vibe than the Howie situation.

Reading the comments on Padma's blog has been kinda fun. Judges are really taking a nice hit the last couple weeks.


They also have some video of Sara N and Camille being interviewed(pre-show, I think) Yum!

Not much to add. I thought Howie's resignation was a pathetic move. Casey looking hot in that one shot of her in a tank top. Brian sucks more than most people think. Every episode CJ seems to be a solid performer, but "Top Chef"? Sara did fine this episode, just delaying her inevitable dismissal. Not much to say about Hung except wtf (in a not so bad way) at his quickfire dish.

Which is of course... BS. What are they going to do? Stand behind with a whip forcing him to cook. The whole thing looked stupid.

I agree. But they have to make sure it looks like the show is based on the Judges and not the cooks. I wouldn't be surprised if Howie said it and just left, and they editted it later to make it look like a decision.

BTW- Casey is hot as hell.
