Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sorry.... First he yelled at me about how they were terrible, and then he fixed them. I don't think this bears too much analysis.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I was also shocked that no one mentioned Tommy Tune to the tall guy. He does need to grow into his skin some (doesn't have the smoothness needed), but he can tap up a storm.
Loved seeing Kevin win, and as much as I think that Robin is a lower-tier chef, she really enjoyed getting everyone's noses out of joint with her immunity win! She'll probably be gone next week, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
When whoever it was made the scallops, though, my first thought was, "Somewhere in Brooklyn*, Jessica's crying."
* I'm pretty sure it's Brooklyn. I have memfault.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hahaha. Now I can't wait to see this. (As it stands, I was just crying because I hate my DVR. I'm drawing little hearts and sparkles all around the words "Tivo installation" on my calendar for Monday.)

At least it wasn't scallop ceviche.

Trust my rage
Does anyone say pae-el-a? I mean, yeah, I'm a gringo from Minnesota, but I've always said and heard pae-ey-a.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Top Chef: Hee, re: scallops. Seriously, people, there are other things that cook fast besides scallops! I was glad Robin won that bit after everyone's hate-on, but I don't think she has the skills to last much longer.
Ron, as well. I really liked him, but that was personality, not skill. Although I agree that deconstructing a paella was probably the toughest out of the available things. But he really didn't know what he wanted to do and it showed.
Seriously, eggs florentine! And I cracked up at how he explained it to the judges, probably just as it had been explained to him the day before. Misogyny Mike needs to leave my teevee.
I adore Michelle Bernstein. I was so glad she smacked Toby down. She's fabulous and talented and confident and is just so comfortable in her skin. I just love watching her.
Oh, and I loved the deconstructed magic trick. We didn't know they were going to do it, so we'd already frame by framed it in the solid cups. 'Cause that's how we roll. So it was awesome in the clear cups.
Kristen, I agree that some of them seemed like fun to make. The SO & I were talking about it. The best Top Chef challenges are ones like those, where you want to try your hand at them. He made what I called a deconstructed potsticker some time ago. And it just clicked with him during this episode why I'd said that.
I love stuff like this that makes you think about how food works, how it's put together, what the flavors actually are.
