I lost all faith in Top Chef this past week. Lets send home the best chef of the season over the person who has been in the bottom almost every single week. Sometimes you have to look beyond a single challenge.

the wife and i just spent a week in maui. we had a few really good meals, but our lunch at sheldon's star noodle really stands out. the food was great, the vibe was great, and i had their wasabi bloody mary, which may be my favorite bloody mary ever.

no matter how this season turns out, ^ sheldon!

I think Padma must have thought she was too pretty. It seemed like everyone, Gail in particular, was arguing to get rid of Josie, but Padma seemed pretty adamant.

Fried chicken, and the judges are all wasted and giggling like schoolgirls. Totally jumped the skark.

The important thing is Josie is gone (and gone ;)).

^

Is it me or was she even more irritating and angry this season that her original season? It was really grating.

She got eliminated earlier the first time around... so we didn't have to see as much of her.

So, my guess is Kristen has Last Chance Kitchen in the bag. Sure, she is the most talented, but now the show has angered a lot of fans by getting rid of the best chef. She'll be back.

Sheldon has been doing well, too. I just wondering if he is too one-dimensional.

Top Chef: Seattle (Season 10)
 

Finally! That arrogant pr*ck, Stefan, received his comeuppance. Happy to see him go.

Agreed. The only thing that would have been more rewarding would have been to see Stefan and Josie both go at the same time in a double elimination. Buh-bye.

If Kristen gets to the finals, it would make up for the injustice of her early departure. If even Josie feels guilty, you know it's bad. :D

I have to say it was rather gratifying to see that in CJ beat Josie in the Save a Chef poll 95% to 5%

I wonder if all of the cheftestants are on the same cruise ship? If so, I wonder how they are being sequestered.

Yes! That tally really made me smile.
