For a few episodes, I thought Danny would transcend the New york meathead stereotype, and his cooking was looking OK, with the exception of the potatoes from last week.  After last night's Ba Ba Booeying to the camera, he's dead to me.

I loved how this was his version of "coming alive in front of the cameras". Bababooey? Are you kidding me, weird beard?! Watch your back "Bam!", there's some new blood in town!

Huh? Moments:
* Padma calling Rocco the "most recognized face in the culinary world"? Whhhaaa?
* Me finally realizing that Jeffrey "I have too many ideas and feathered hair" works at a restaurant one letter away from being "Dildo". Don't judge
* Alex getting the full-blown (as wifey calls it) "Loser Edit": "Hey guys, I just found this letter, it makes me cry. I can't wait to get married." We haven't seen Alex for more than 3 seconds per episode and he gets treated to that right off the bat? THEN he goes on to make a dessert? DOUBLE KISS OF DEATH. R.I.P. my blind choice for winner.

I was waiting for them to cut to Fabio after a shot of the Flirty Two, and him saying something like "I don't flirt with woman. I make fuck with them."

That could actually be true, a lot of people watch Dancing with the Stars.

Also, I ALWAYS misread that as "Dildo" and I ALWAYS giggle like a child.

i watched this with cancer mom last nite and between coughs she was able to sputter out:

"What's with that guy's facial hair?!"
"Why does the indian girl always look frightened?"
"Bababooey...(sigh)"
"i think Stefan is too cocky."
"It's going to be Alex."


despite my annoyances with all the contestants, having TWO dishes spit was worth any time wasted.  not to mention, switching up the quickfire challenge was a nice touch.

Re Danny, anyone who says of himself that he's "very charismatic" deserves scorn.  He's a more competent cook that I first gave him credit for, but what a turd.

I really enjoyed how he talked about how he "lights up in front of the camera" while not lighting up in front of the camera.

Personally, I just can't stand that ziplock baggie commercial that screams "ERIKAAAAAA" at the beginning of it. It's always on during Top Chef and it makes me hate the sound of my own name.

Imagine that you're nine years old and the most exciting new science fiction show that all the rest of the 4th graders at your school are so excited about is "The Invaders", with lead character David Vincent, which is the way everyone you have ever know up to that point (and it continues to this day) misspells your name. It was HELL I tell you.

You're an Indian, Samir? Me too! What tribe are you in? I'm a Creek.

I noticed the Dildo/Dilido thing from the beginning and also giggled like a child when I drove past it yesterday. It's in the Ritz-Carlton on Collins Ave. The sign for the Dilido is in all caps, and the L is supposed to look like a swan or something. It still looks like Dildo.
Too soon?
