Yes, they race very well. I can totally root for them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nick and Starr are just good. And not too gloaty, although a little, sometimes.... I really hope they win.

So disappointed about Toni and Dallas. Does anyone know if they got their stuff back eventually?
Nick & Starr I can get behind winning because they do race very well and don't really bicker at all.
I don't mind Nick & Starr winning because they have raced well and have not generally been annoying. I like the Bickersons way better than at the beginning and they have done some smart moves along the way. (Although we decided watching tonight that "not working on the relationship" is definitely code for "doesn't do what I want".)
I just really really really don't want the fraternity guys to win.

Nobody watched TOP CHEF real time tonight?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't 2 or 3 of the cheftestants not even finish the elimination challenge, but weren't among those on the chopping block? How is that fair over those who "did" (in quotes, because of the underdone egg and creme brulee)?

Yeah, that was very weird. At least they had finished dishes to sample.
I also wish they would have explained what happened there at the end with Jeff's dish.

Me too. That was very odd.
Of course, of the bottom three, they could have picked any one of them so far as I was concerned.
I watched real time. . .okay I watched the 10 Central showing but I'm not w&Ping because it's a hassle. (And I'm trying to work on yarn-based projects while watching tv which getting up and racing to the dining room to post doesn't really help.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
When they came back from the commercial and jumped right into the live demos I thought I'd missed an act. Turns out they were just rushing through so we could watch the Today Show segment. Whatev. I called Mr Creme Brulee as the loser the moment the word "dessert" came out of his mouth.
Honestly, I thought it was a stupid challenge for this show. This isn't NFNS.

Right. It was an unsatisfactory episode.

Because books.
I watched in real time, but I was sort of unmotivated to post. The whole episode was sort of blah. Tom's reaction to Kathie Lee spitting out Jeff's ... whatever that was, was pretty priceless, though.
I will say they gave the chefs plenty of room to hang themselves, though. No direction or restrictions except "make a dish." And Creme Brulee guy certainly learned his lesson.
The promos are getting confusing, though, in terms of what's for the next episode and what's for the season. I thought *this* episode was going to have Martha Stewart and Padma breaking some kind of dramatic news.
