Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Is it just me or are the Top Chef producers completely lacking in subtlety this season? I knew exactly who the bottom team was going to be and the bottom ~3 in that bottom team.

Good grief.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Check out Blowin' Me Up with Her Love or Some Girls Dance with Women (on Ellen and he even busts a couple of moves!). Love JC!

don't forget the classic "All Day Long I Think About Sex"

Was Eve the one who mispronounced ceviche last week?

But I was very pleased that the Voltaggio brothers were victorious.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

No, it's Jen who keeps doing it, which is even more vexing.

Oh, that's ridiculous. (I mena, it's ridiculous that JEN doesn't pronounce that correctly.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sumi, I like the brothers too but I wish the editors didn't remind us they are brothers every 60 seconds. I mean damn. I can barely tell them apart as it is, I think I got that they are brothers.

Yes, it is kind of a Lana's dead parents situation, isn't it?

Because books.

LANA'S PARENTS ARE DEAD?!

I think the Michael brother looks like Tony Hawk, especially when he has his baseball cap on backwards.

I was a little taken aback by some of the guys jumping in the pool. It was sort of a bad America's Next Top Model moment, I thought.

I'm glad Eve went. Two bland shrimp dishes in a row, and she was so wishy-wishy and blah.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Eve's personality was a real turn off. I think Tom was capping on the casting agents with some of his diss of her.
