Somebody would stuff a MatchBox car in Lisa's Easy Bake to sabotage her. Or at least she would blame it on somebody else, anyway.

Daytime today EST on Bravo, they showed at least part of Season Three? of Top Chef (the one where Hung won). It was really again interesting to see what a supportive top chef environment can be like. Hung-Dale-Casey-Brian were top four, and with the exception of Hung (who didn't offer help to others as readily because "it's a competition"), all were really friendly and supportive. Even Hung found his inner "soul" in his cooking by the end. By the way, this Dale was a very different Dale...one of the most moving Top Chef moments was when he told the judges how he had given up cooking when his dream job disappeared. He hadn't cooked for a year and a half until Top Chef came along, and he decided to give it one more try. He developed tremendously during the season, and was told at the end by Chef Tom that "the world of cooking is a better place because of having you in it."
I think this season, along with Season One, are my favorites so far.
Jury is out on this season right now....

There should be an automatic elimination if you stand in front of the judges with your arms crossed.

I'd love an easy bake quick fire. My favorite moment ever on this show is when they had to do a quick fire with the food out of the vending machines. Mike rolled up a Snickers and stuck a Cheeto in the top of it. He was my favorite contestant ever, even though I don't think he took it all that seriously.

I learn so much on this show that I am amazed that the contestants appear to be wearing mental rain coats! I am not aspiring to be a chef, but I do love to improve my skills/taste profiles every day -

I finally watched the entire episode last night, and all I can say is wow! Wow to the attitudes of the bottom 3; wow that Spike won the quick-fire, giving him extra time for the elimination challenge and all he could come up with was chicken salad? And I'm the type that doesn't want walnuts and/or grapes in my chicken salad, so the combo of grapes & olives would be too much for me, too. Wow that Andrew served a box lunch of faux-sushi to Chicago's finest. Wow that Lisa blamed someone else for her rice issues. I'm glad they brought up the problems with her shrimp, too. They did not look appetizing to me at all (they really did look undercooked, and as Ted said, shrimp is not hard to cook) and her lunch was unlike any stir fry I've ever seen.
Their nastiness toward the judges even surprised Sam, I think. He had one of those 'I can't believe what my ears are hearing' looks. Spike to Chef Tom - "well that's your opinion" - huh? This guy has the power to boot your butt outta there and you're gonna give him 'tude? Andrew, again to Chef Tom - "I had people come back for more" and Chef Tom's response - "because they were still hungry"...lol
This season is not fun for me at all, mainly because of the language and hatefulness. All I can think of when they're bleeping out every other word is "and you tasted my food with that mouth?"

I'm disappointed in the attitude, language, and temper of this group. I can't believe the way they "back talk" the judges. The crossed arms at the judging table drives me crazy. I want to reach thru my tv and tie their hands behind their backs. LOL

At this point I'm pulling for Richard, Stephanie, and Antonia for the final 3.

ITA Bomb ~ I was hoping they would send all 3 of the bottom group home. Watching them irritated me!

I wish if they had a camera on Lisa's stove when she adjusted the temp that they could zoom in and show her turn it up. Or show somebody else crank it up but really the most realistic scenario is she accidently turned it the wrong way.

Lisa now saying she is forced into doing sticky raice. It is mush. Oh this is looking good for them not winning this challenge. Are they playing with us viewers, do we get a false sense of security here????

Lol Carlp, I missed the quickfire because AI went over, at least I caught the tail end of it. Antonia won the quickfire.

Have no idea who will go tonight, but if it's not Lisa Cross Arms, will be content with it being one from that team.
I did hear a spoiler about one of the 'nice' team members that makes it to final 3.

Right Lisa, first time you have made a huge mistake.
