I watched it this morning on the NBC Web site
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Yeah, I don't have the bandwidth. Pout.

Top Chef -
Okay, first of all THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BRONTOSAURUS. Good lord, how did AMNH let them get away with that?
Second of all, I'm concerned about Jen. Her dish looked *terrible* and her behavior, well...I'm pretty sure she was high at Judges' Table. She wasn't just obnoxious, she was off somehow. So I hope she gets whatever help she needs now that she's off the show.
Third of all, while Team Apatasaurus' food definitely looked tastier than Team T-Rex's, it wasn't particularly breakfasty. Did everyone assume someone else was going to make the pancakes, or did they collectively decide it just wasn't worth it without butter?

Well, they could have had lots of syrup and fruit toppings. Hmm, but can you make pancakes without eggs?

Okay, subbing soy or rice milk for the dairy - that would work. Assuming that they had soy or rice milk.

Oh, that's a good point. Not too many chefs are experts in vegan baking, I guess.

I hope it was just lack of sleep that was making Jen act like that.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I'm pretty sure it was a major contributor, but on the other hand, the outright defiance at judges' table seems to be a theme this season, first with Fabio and now Jen. I think, having already been through this once, even the contestants themselves are a little surprised at how little patience they have with the process. And I mean that. I think, if any of them were thinking, "I'm not going through that again," they stayed off. But I think Fabio, Jen and probably more than a few others are encountering little triggers that are just plain setting them off.
I think part of it might be that they all came in thinking they were prepared for the competition, having done it before, and with their guard and nerves down -- never mind the increased pressure and level of competition -- it's hitting them in ways that they were shielded from before in part by nerves until they acclimated.

Fabio was kind of always like that, though. His behavior didn't strike me as out-of-character the way Jen's did. (Especially her screaming fit in the hallway after she left the stew room.)
