Here we go again. Most importantly, No Info Pick'Em. Look at the pictures and pick your Top 5, 3, and winner WITHOUT READING ABOUT THEM.

Mine:
Bowtie
Vanilla
Dr. Dontplay
Beardo
Nicknamelessa

Vanilla, Beardo, Nicknamelessa
Beardo

I look forward to reading about these people now and realizing how bad I am at Cheftestant profiling.

 There really should be a spoiler warning in the thread title.

I've been enjoying Top Chef Masters, but am just glad Padma is back.  And is Gail back full time as a judge?  I adore her.

I would pick my list but I am too dumb too figure out how to post multiple jpgs here.

The winner of my heart is Gail Simmons.
Sounds like someone was working as a conduit for nature's natural vengeance.  Just like Jesus.  And some of the others.

I don't have the right kind of imagination to play this game.  But I'm looking forward to June 16.

Later:  Just noticed that Eric Ripert is going to be one of the regular judges.  This make me happy.

Sure you do. Go the random route and we'll see how that pays off. Besides, Omar is going to beat us all anyway.

omg, Eric Ripert is going to be there all season long?????

Martin, I know how you feel about Gail and her gifts. I feel the same way about Eric Ripert. I am so excited.

I say Mr. Nondescript wins it all:



Bowtie stays around for a good long while:



And so do these guys:





And this lady is probably in the top 3:



Stinky Dreads and Blondie are the first two to go home, obvs.



Too soon?

Ripert is to "serve as a recurring guest judge," Laurie.

Here's a selection of comments inspired by the bios on the Bravo site (i.e., SPOILERS):




























According to the bios, Omar's pick is "over-the-top and without a filter."  

Bravo also says that this broad:



is fifty-one.  Very well-preserved, n'est-ce pas?  

Sadly, though, this guy:



is forty-two.

Bow-tie was one a "competitive professional figure skater."  I've checked:  he skated with someone named Christina Connally in the junior competition in 1997.  They placed eighth in the short program and fifth in the free skate.  Bravo says his life is "colorful."

Finally, Bravo informs us that "food was an integral part of [FinGerSwiss, Jr.]'s early life," which is awfully good to know.  (Bravo also spells "Lutèce" "Lutecé," by the way.)  Unlike almost everyone else, he has received no awards; the only thing Bravo could come up with was "[FinGerSwiss, Jr.]'s passion for his craft is lauded by loyal customers and critics alike."  Doesn't bode well.  Plus his jeans are very carefully slashed.

And on Treme.

Later . . .

Ha, I just came across this article by Toby Young in the Guardian.  I had no idea I didn't like him as a judge because he's British, not because his insights were nonexistent and his labored jokes painful.

Read the comments section.  He has a nice tussle with Jay Rayner.
