I was so happy that Carla won! And I did enjoy Jimmy Fallon and his Top Chef fan geekery. I was sad to see Fabio go but meat loaf is not the same as a good juicy burger, no? And curdled cheese sauce is just nobody's friend.

I'm rooting so hard for Carla to take it all. Of course, that means someone like Mike I. will win.

AI: Haven't seen any of it. I was away at a conference conferencing. But I did miss it, which is a good sign.

Oh man! I saw a preview for tonight's Top Chef that said something like the elimination was surprising and/or upsetting or something, so I've kind of been watching with my heart in my throat. And I guess it's surprising and/or upsetting for the cheftestants, but I am SO RELIEVED.

ME TOO.

Also, OMG I needed those Muppets tonight. That was awesome.

I was worried too! And i'm relieved although the previews for next week made me nervous again.

I am so glad that Carla is still there. Sad for Angelo, but at least he went out classy.

C IS FOR COOKIE

Is it just me, or does Mike continue to be a misogynistic ass, even while he is being sad for Angelo?

Definitely not the only one.

I really loved how absolutely delighted every left cheftestant was during the Quickfire. So much fun.

Also, Ming's remark about "iron" chef was awesome. He's a cutiehead dork!

The "iron" chef comment was hysterical! I groaned at how bad it was and laughed immediately after!

Mike is an ass. He can't get off my screen fast enough.

Yeah, the Muppets were excellent.

I was going to say that every elimination from here out will someone who should probably make it to the final, but I forgot about Mike Isabella.

I remembered how much I disliked Mike during his original season.

Mike is an idiot.

Also: everyone was so punchy. Thus the bad jokiness. Loved it.

And the muppets! How could cooking for muppets be anything but a win?!!??
