Right. It was an unsatisfactory episode.
Oh, look at the pretties!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Honestly, I thought it was a stupid challenge for this show. This isn't NFNS.
My thoughts exactly.

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.

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

The promos don't bother me nearly as much as the random interstitials/outtakes/I don't know what to call them because they are confusing to me! Is Bravo doing this with all of their shows now, or did they just not know how to work the Leah/Hosea thing into the main show?

Oh yeah! That was weird.

Yeah, that was bizarre. I thought that the show was back and then we went right to another ad. Very strange.

Served him right too after his assy remark in the back about those "women" and their unsophisticated palates. Jerkoff.

They've done two Leah/Hosea ones now and then last week they had one about the dude with the weird facial hair being a messy eater and Jamie's disgust with him. I guess they are trying to work in more contestant "drama" now or something?

Oh! The very best moment was Jeff at 2 a.m., commenting on Tom coming into the room all in black, like Johnny Cash.

Oh, one thing I remember about Eugene is that he was asked what the difference between sashimi and sushi was and he didn't answer the question properly. I suppose he was rattled. Well, I hope that was the problem because as a sushi chef he really should have known the answer!

I really didn't like this ep. I didn't think that it was a Top Chef challenge. Now, it may have been what some of the chefs aspire to, but this wasn't about cooking. And the show is about cooking. (and winning, according to Tom)
