I am so excited for Top Chef: Masters.
And furthermore, I am interested in the season of Top Chef after Masters to see if their experience changes their judging at all! Heh.
I think the format looks interesting. I guess they couldn't take these premiere chefs and put them in a house together for months. (Wacky hijinks ensue!) But then this format does allow a large number of contestants.
Oh, I am so glad they started with Danny, tonight! That was absolutely lovely. I actually loved the arrangement, it suited him so well.
Danny was great. Anoop impressed me. Allison was fantastic and Adam was just really awesome.
Scott needs to go. And Lil was disappointing.
Totally with you on all fronts, except for Anoop. His voice bugs me, it's all nasal and tight sounding.
askye is me. Except for Danny. I still don't get his appeal. Also, "Stand By Me" is not an 80s song.
But at least it was a better arrangement than "Part-time Lover".
I missed the show, but have caught up on the audio on Youtube this AM.
One thing I think is that Adam's professional & stage experience is really a benefit to him as the process goes on - he knows how to pace himself through a long process, and when others get raggedy and tired he can fall back on that. He's still being dramatic, but less melodramatic, thank god. I think Allison is the other person I see with that kind of professionalism/depth, despite her age. Except I have seen a lot less of her - I keep missing her even when I do get to see the show.
I can't decide who is more painful to me right now, Scott or Anoop.
if you ever miss a show/performance, i heartily recommend going to rickey.org to watch what you missed. he uploads video and audio of every performance(without the annoying judges comments).
Oh, thank you! Video really makes a difference in how I see a performance, and they are fierce about taking down video on Youtube this year.
I think Allison needs to rethink that wig/hair color. It really makes her skin tone seem kind of sickly. If she went with dark red accents on dark brown/black hair, I think that would be more flattering.
I think her hair is dyed that color.
I'm worried Scott will be safe again. He's like the Judge's Sanjaya, not that they are putting him through but they keep prasing him and not really seeing his faults.
Also, Lil really seems like someone who can sing rather than a singer.
