Haven't watched yet, but one could not possibly cast a 6'8" guy on this show. Six feet is toweringly tall for a dancer! Imagine him with Jeannine (5'2")!

Tyce has started smelling himself and it needs to stop.

hahahaha. I have never heard this expression.

Fucking Toby Young is back on Top Chef. Can we nuke this fucker from orbit once and for all? It's the only way to be sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How does a professional cook not know what eggs Florentine is? Has he never eaten brunch??

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Well, it was past time for Ron to go, though he seemed like a really nice guy.

Because he's too busy being a dick?

Possibly true.

I still love the Kevin, and thought Jen might not accept being in the top group because she didn't live up to her own standards, but she is too smart for that, and just took it.

Because books.

God, I wish he would go home. I loathe him.

Ron seemed sweet, but he never impressed me.

I did feel a bit sorry for some of them, though -- if deconstruction is not something you've ever done, I can see it being pretty daunting.

Favorite non-food moment: Tom snickering at Penn's remark.

I'm curious to see if that's commented on in any of the blogs - Jen's dissatisfaction with her dish, I mean.

Mike I. or Toby? Because it's hard to say who I want to see less of on my screen. I think less of Simon Pegg because he played that wanker in a movie.

I was talking about Mike I. Toby took some getting used to, but I think he's toned it down. I much prefer Gail or Ted, though.

I know, and I agree. I was just venting because I was REALLY not happy to have Toby back, though I knew it was coming.
