Top Chef Las Vegas

mario batali riding that scooter in a repetitive and nightmarish fashion is giving me nightmares.  Worse than before.  Thanks!  Can you edit it into a crash?

Yesterday I rewatched the latest episode as is my wont, and realized I neglected to mention two things in my earlier post:

1.  Charlie Palmer's wink when Eli drew the belly knife really added to the pervert look his nasty mustache suggests he's trying to cultivate.

2.  Was it not silly that thirty-year-old Michael V. referred to twenty-six-year-old Eli as a kid?

I don't think so.  He certainly acts like it.  "You're not my mother" comes to mind.

You find nothing laughable in the fact that he's calling someone a mere four years his junior a kid?

[Trotskie]

* And this week Michael V. came off as the jerk I thought he was when the season began.  Deliberately goading his brother, deliberately goading Eli--the guy is a bully.

 

agreed and Mike V. really doesn't wear baseball hats very well.

* The guest judge had an absolutely repulsive moustache.

maybe I'm naive and everybody knows everybody in the industry, but I thought it was really shady that Charlie Palmer was so familiar with the bros.

Well maybe a little, but I think it's more a matter of mental than chronological age.  I've been known to throw around kid with people older than me.

Don't try that with me.... Kid.

Eli does still live with his parents.

(that one hits too close to home)

Hello? Restaurant Wars?

Hello? Restaurant Wars?

Fell a bit flat for me - no real question as to who would win or lose half way into the episode. 

Jenn looked pretty fine in her bikini, and then in the quick fire was high fiving her opposition?  She's every fella's dream. 

Is she losing it though?  She and Bryan V. both. 

If they do a three person final again I hope it is them and Kevin, though the producers might push for Michael V. in deliberations.  Michael V. has become the jerkier of the two Michaels, that was an upset for me.

It does seem like she's been slipping a bit the last few episodes.  Despite Mike V.'s jerkiness, I think he and Kevin are the clear frontrunners.

Hey Natalie, maybe you shouldn't just walk into restaurants. Maybe you should give them a call the day before and let them know you're a vegetarian and will be dining there tomorrow, because chefs appreciate that kind of thing.

Also, maybe you shouldn't sign that Free Polanski petition and then  call carnivores worse than rapists.

Just a little friendly advice.

I'd also recommend delivering a good acting performing, which she hasn't done since Beautiful Girls in 1995.

The part where Natalie, Padma, and Tom were exchanging dick jokes?  Awkward.  
When that other lady topped them and received applause from everyone at the table?  GAH that was awful.
