Consolidated "Top Chef: Just Desserts" thread
Good concept, but the contestants will annoy the heck out of me.
Is it me or has Jacques Torres really let himself go?

I happened to catch the first episode last evening... a repeat... I have to say I found it pretty boring....
And I do have to agree that the contestants are very annoying.... and the preview indicates that the yelling level will intensify.

Wow, this show is a disaster on every level. Lunatic, unattractive, unpleasant and annoying chefs, dumb challenges, stupid judging.
One person has repeatedly freaked out, had a panic attack and eliminated himself, they brought back a crazy person who nearly had a breakdown herself and one person with one of the best desserts eliminated herself because she doesn't like to cook competitively.
Oh, that was all tonight's episode.

I forgot it was on last night... and accidently saw a small portion of it... where they were setting up while the show was going on....
Did not even see the end... and I was wondering what I was missing since Seth was not there and that woman was back...
Guess I did not miss much!

"That woman" is just as crazy as Seth.
I have a friend who is a pastry chef. He is a brilliant artist, but fairly normal otherwise, so I was surprised that all these folks seem to have issues.

Heather H. seems nuts too. She clearly stated at one point that she "volunteered" to do the centerpiece, then at the end, she goes into a frothing rage because Morgan only had to work on one dessert, but she had to work on two. Ummmm, then why did she volunteer to do two?

Wow, thanks to consolidation, I see I felt the same way last year. I thought I would try it again, but things haven't changed much. BTW, I am a big fan of Top Chef and Top Chef Masters.
