Jen put a piece of crusty chewy bread on a plate and thought it looked sexy. She deserved to go.
The worst tasting dish has lost every time. The judging in the elimination challenges has seemed fair to me. The quick fire winners seem more subjective but so what. |

OMG, that judging was sooo unfair!! how could they expect Lisa and Antonia to have real Polish sausage in their dish when there simply wasn't enough time
for them to fly to Poland, buy a pig, slaughter it, make the sausages and then make it back to Chicago in time to serve it!!!!
Seriously though, I thought that was a toss up between the two bottom teams, and I was wondering for a few seconds there if they were going to boot both people on the losing team, since both Richard and Dale were winners. I think what ultimately did Jen (did you know she's a lesbian?) in was her pride in explaining how she wanted their dish to look phallic, which IMO was a worse offense than not using polish sausages....and, doing a shot of tequila in front of your guests without offering them any. Nikki really needs to go next. Bleh! If they don't get rid of her soon the woman is going to really think she is a real chef, and a darn good one, for lasting this long. |

She will try to fix it up by placing the sandwich in an oven (to toast the bread) she'll in turn dry out the peanut butter and the jelly will cook to nothing. Luckily, Richard just added to much salt to his dish and then in an error of judgement grinded salted peanuts ontop thus causing to go home when Gail has an allergic reaction and dies during dinner. Nikki survives again. |

Do the judges on Top Chef judge based on what happened in a given round, or is it cumulative? In watching this show, I find that the former is true. I rarely
hear of the judges basing their decisions on overall performance and potential. Of course, I could be wrong.

oh, the bitch that refused to serve Polish sausage should have gone home...and the judges should have reminded her that they will be called on to do things
they don't agree with...they've told other contestants that
the asparagus ones were just trying to be funny and Richard's twin had to leave... |

I heard Tom say last season that the rules require them to judge each challenge individually, and they try to adhere to that very strictly. They know this
means that sometimes a really great competitor goes home when a lesser person stays, but they feel the other option would not be good for the show
either....kind of like when there is a clear favorite on some reality shows and you know they are going all the way regardless of how bad they mess up on any
given episode.

It was obvious stephanie was Not going to go - she has had so many wins, so in this case the cumulative mattered. It was obvious in another one that there was
no way they would pick richard to leave even tho he was on the bad team.
As for the polish sausage, they didnt have to serve it as a sausage- the thing about this show is they take a certain ingredient and use it to make something else. They could have made polish sausage sauce, polish sausage pate', polish sausage au jus, polish sausage cream or you get the idea- they could not think outside of the box. They didnt have to hand the judges a disgusting sausage but use the ingredient to make something refined. Instead they make fish. |

Jen is low rent and crude- like most lesbians. Ever see Work-Out? Yeah, like that.

Random Musings:
- Sorry to see Richard go - he seemed like a shoo in to win. Ooh wait, my bad, it was his lesbian doppleganger. Poor Richard - must suck through go through life looking like a lesbian. The comedian Patton Oswalt used to open his show with 'I know, I look like a little lesbian'. Andrew Lloyd Weber was lezzin' it up on Fox at the same time! www.menwholooklikeoldlesbians.com - Phallic shit - ok, I know it was 'turned on', but fuckin', in EVERY single reality show the gay contestants talk about sex 80% of the time. I know its reality tv and editing, but fuckin' a, they are like 13 year old boys. - Sea Bass - I live in Chicago. That show gave me a polish sausage jones. There was a guy who used to be at all of the street fairs (Taste of Lincoln Ave, Old Town Art Fair, Sheffield Garden Walk, etc) and had a little cart - best polish ever. Well, maybe not as good as Maxwell Street. Even still, when I think of Polish Sausage, I immediately think of Sea Bass or Chorizo. - Ted Allen - 'the remaining lesbian'. Mmmm. They all kinda buried the needle on the gaydar, but I'm saying Lisa - that's a shocker. - Lisa - she is a vile human being. She's an uglier gay version of Andrew Dice Clay. Shit honey, you're on National TV and this is killer exposure for your career, yet you say 'fuck' every other word. Oh, and you are nasty. - Dale and Richard - the front runners - Andrew - I still love his 'this is my house' chest bumping trash talking shit. This aint a bastketball court playa, you're a chef making soup and something called ras al ghanout. - Second City - well, I live right around the corner from Second City and go there every now and then. You'll see all those actor peeps at the Starbucks connected to it (Pipers Alley), but can I say - them fuckers wasn't funny. Even that banter at the dinner was lame. Ted had the only funny line (about the sausage and the gay guy). I find most improv people to be weird detestable creatures who I'd like to beat about the scrotum. Although I did see Rachel Dratch doing improv at Second City in the early 90's and she was funny as shit - ugly as hell, but funny as shit. |

AlexDSSF wrote: I think its supposed to be each round, but its human nature to judge cumulatively. For example, on many of these shows, if the front runner shits the bed
on a challenge, they often give him or her a break based upon the 'body of work'. They might not say it out loud, but subconsciously its gonna come
into play.

Dale and Richard's tofu looked so good.... mmm, bacon. Spike and Andrew's soup looked excellent, too. Those two were so hyped up, and it was funny
how totally unfazed they were by the lack of machines. They're so hyped up they could probably process it faster manually.
I finally figured out what bugs the shit out of me about Mark. He has no affect. Whenever he speaks I just see those wide-set, flat eyes and a blank slate of a face. And where was the WINE for the contestants while they awaited the results of the boot? They all had bottles of beer in their hands. The horror! |

I would definitely peg Lisa as the remaining lesbian.
I had pegged Antonia to go based on pre-Quickfire confessionals. All 3 were unimportant, which is usually the telltale clue as to who is going. I should've realized that it was fine for Jennifer to talk about Zoi the week after she was eliminated, but anything after that is overkill. Richard's hair is really bothering me. If you're going to do the fauxhawk, don't make it crooked. |

The spice cumin is found in a lot of Polish foods and they used it in the sauce they put on their fish, so I don't see anything wrong with them improvving
"Polish sausage" as "Polish sauce-age." They should have explained what they did better and not griped about it.
I saw a preview of an episode they're having in two weeks called Wedding Wars and they showed at least five contestants in the commercial, so you know who doesn't get booted next week. I'll list them if someone can tell me how to use the spoiler tag function. (Thanks Mr. Yuck)
