More Top Chef and G1

Happy Thursday!

1. I am just getting used to this TIVO thing-y so for all I know last night’s episode of Top Chef may have originally aired three days ago.  I love Tivo, but it’s fucking with my reality. I can honestly say I now have to really think about what day it is when I wake up in the morning. Ok, ok that may be more a sign of horrible depression than anything else, but let’s keep this post light shall we?

Anyway, last night’s(?) Top Chef was all about preparing for and successfully pulling off a live TV cooking segment.  It wasn’t one of my favorite episodes, although I was surprised to see the “I love soup, I could make soup all day” girl so quickly toss her competitors under the bus with her, “I really want to be here” comment. I thought that was a cheap shot.  Honestly, I’m not that surprised. She has a huge ego. I guess you have to be if you like soup as much as she does. What?  Oh well. It’s a great show.

2. My G1 arrived yesterday and truth be told, it’s pretty great. It’s no iphone but I knew that going in, so I am pretty satisfied.  Although for some reason, it wouldn’t transfer all of the phone numbers I had stored on my blackberry. I spent the better part of last night and today collecting numbers from folks. So if I don’t call for a while, it’s either because I haven’t had time to get your number from you or I just don’t want it! BURN! Or should I say, OUCH!

    You have got to stop with all this Top Chef nonsense.

    Did you know that in Episode #1 of last season’s Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsey put on a wig and fake nose in order to hide amongst the competitors and spy on them? Then, when they got to the Hell’s Kitchen HQ, he ripped off his fake face (eg – Mission Impossible) right in front of the gaping-mouthed aspiring chefs.

    You’ll never see anything that awesomely ridiculous on Top Chef.

    That I will admit, is amazing. Still, he’s a cock.

    I liked how they never explained why one of the top three chef’s dishes caused all of The Today Show guests to gag…I mean, I know the chef was blaming their “unsophisticated palettes,” but it seems like something that should have come up at Judge’s Table unless they were just trying not to embarrass Kathie Lee.

    I think because it was KLG who gagged it was just assumed by all that it happened because she’s an alien.

    I forgot how much I loved your blogs. Thank you for brightening my day. That being said, you are a TiVo retard. If you need help setting things up so that you don’t have 15 episodes of Top Chef recording, let me know.

  6. Mike Fotis says:

    Kelly, your words cut me to the bone.

    My mom calls it tough love. You will get used to it.

    Have you discovered that you can order pizza off of your Tivo? Just wait until you see a Domino’s commercial and then hit the green thumb’s up button and you will have pizza. Well, after you pay.
