I'm bullshit right now over "Top Chef." Does that mean I invest too much in these things?
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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

Punishingly Intricate
God, I wanted to punch Leah in her face during the Quickfire, and then I REALLY wanted to punch Jamie when she said she was bored with the kind of food Eric Ripert makes. And then kept calling him Eric like they were peers! Sheesh. Anyway, I still think Leah should have gone.
I feel the same way about the punching and who I think should have gone!
I'm guessing that Jaimie's really just tasted the worse.
man, I want to go to La Bernadin. seriously
I'm glad Carla seems to have come into her element. I was really irritated by her before but now I'm totally rooting for her.
Hosea & Leah need to be gone yesterday though.

Because books.
Leah SO needs to be gone. I'm just shocked because usually Tom's vote carries more weight, and I thought he was decided that not understanding how to parse the dish/recipe was a worse sin than making a mistake and not having time to fix it.
I am still surprised that the asparagus wasn't supposed to be cooked, too. That seems weird to me.

I'm bullshit right now over "Top Chef."
What in particular? Or is it just in general.

I am SO OVER Leah. She has been doing this giving up/slacker/oh, I just don't care anymore thing from the beginning. She fucking gave up in the quickfire, and I would have gotten rid of her based on that. I think that Jamie is a MUCH stronger chef. I haven't liked Leah for a while, and I now actively dislike her. I will say that tonight was the first night that she showed real passion.

Like I said, I'm really over Jamie too, but there's no question she's head and shoulders better than Leah. Even just on this challenge, with overcooked fish and not the slightest idea of what the flavors or sauces were supposed to be.
Maybe if she hadn't tried to imply that Ripert's dish was a crappy dish to begin with?
Oh! Speaking of getting and not getting it, that was a great moment with Ripert and Carla and the non-Bearnaise Bearnaise.

Okay, I am very amused. Just stopped the tivo to see an infomercial called "Core Rhythms", that's endorsed by SYTYCD's Mary Murphy. She's wearing this crazy shirt that has chain necklaces attached!

I was VERY surprised by who went home on TC tonight. I thought that was going to go the other way for sure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was glad to see Carla showing actual chops, too.
I really liked both of the skill challenges tonight -- sometimes it's not about creativity and twists, sometimes it's just about knowing food.
