Happy Thursday…

1. It’s raining today which can only mean one thing. God watched last night’s episode of Top Chef and even he can’t believe that Robin is still on the show. I’m not saying that Mike deserved to stay on the show after last night’s effort, or better put, after the attitude he showed at the judge’s table.  He didn’t. And to be honest, I won’t miss him. His smile made me uncomfortable.  Also how do you go through life having never seen one episode of Seinfeld?  That’s just…bizarre. Serial killer bizarre.

I am having difficulty accepting a world where Robin is taking my dire prediction from a week ago and forcing it into the realm of plausibility. I’m telling you, she’s going to find a way to skate into the finals.  Everyone else will make one killer mistake and for whatever reason her meal, which is almost never good, won’t be bad enough.

Onto Michael, the tattooed brother. Man, competition sure has brought out the asshole in that guy. Face it dude, Kevin might just be better than you.

Onto Jennifer, the super hot chef who is in the middle of  meltdown. Get your shit together, ok? Although, thank you for your Flintstone’s commentary. SUPER HOT.

Ok, that’s all for today.

Happy Wednesday!

1. On tonight’s episode of Top Chef, Robin, America’s favorite kind of annoying chef who used to have cancer will either be eliminated from the competition or continue her baffling ascent up the Top Chef ladder. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

2. Hey Facebook, I really hate the news feed/live feed thing you’ve got going on. And by “hate”, I am fully willing to admit that I am to lazy to figure out the new layout.  My thing is this. Couldn’t the default feed be the live feed? That way, I always  am up to date with my friends and their pithy opinions.

3. Hey Chicago Cubs, guess what starts tonight? The World Series. Guess who’s not there? Well yes, you’re right. I’m not there. But neither are you, and that’s my point. Please be better next year.

On a side note, Joe Buck doesn’t annoy me like he does the rest of America. He does annoy me, just not as much as he annoys the average Joe and Jane.

Happy Thursday!

1.  Here are some thoughts from last night’s episode of Top Chef.

-It was time for Laurine to go. She seems like a capable chef, but it was pretty obvious that last night was not her night.  I say this mainly because she is no longer on the show.

-Michael is kind of  a jerk when the pressure’s on.  Sure splitting the money was a nice thing to do, (I will never do that if I win any sort of competition. Friends, take note.) but the constant yelling was a bit much. Take a chill pill, dude! Am I right?

-Bryan seems like a decent dude, but if I ever found a dollar on the street and decided to pop it in my wallet, he’d most likely be pretty shitty to me about it.

-Jennifer is lucky that Laurine was such a terrible host, otherwise she’d be gone.

-Kevin once again proved that he can have a bad show but still cook the shit out of some pork.

-Robin actually did ok last night, except for the part where she wouldn’t stop talking. I have a feeling that she might win simply because in every episode up to this point, someone has had an error just a little worse than any error she has made. In other words, she might win by just being good at not losing. If that happens, Tom Col-I have no idea how to spell-o will be forced to fall on his Chef’s sword in shame.

-Mike

Happy Thursday.

1. Last night’s episode of Top Chef was a delight. Wowza, the rest of the contestants sure do hate Robin.  To a certain extent, I can see why. She is sort of annoying. But seriously, the almost Junior High like mentality against her, seems a bit much.  But let us move on to last night’s loser, Ash. I am a big fan of Ash, mostly because he’s funny and seem to get that in the end, being the  “Top Chef”  doesn’t really mean anything. Also, his obvious disdain for Padma’s opinion of him in last night’s episode was pretty great.  I forgot what he said word for word, but I did a spit take when he screamed something in the realm of, “I forgot to add flavor!” It was fantastic. It also made me realize that I am no longer into Padma.  Jennifer is the real business if you get my drift. GROWL! Anyhoo, see you later, Ash. This elimination had been coming for a few weeks.

It’s pretty clear who the main players in this competition are. The brothers, Jennifer and Kevin. Who are you putting your money on? Me, I’m starting to lean toward Kevin. He’s just really, really good. He never seems to mess up.

3. Last night I made curry, and by made I mean that I poured a jar of “Curry Stuff” on top of my meat and vegetables. It was in no way cooking, unless for some reason I see someone do the exact same thing on Top Chef.
