I think he is a nice guy and it also will go a long way with the judges, especially when you look at how bad the other contestants are. I can see Richard going to final two.

Lisa survived because Tom and the judges liked the taste of her cake the best.
Dale has an ego twice his height.
I'd bet if the Groom's side won, Nikki would have claimed leadership.
Didn't anyone else think it weird that the bride put on a totally different bridal gown for the reception????

Kona, that is the new trend. one is more ceremonial and the other more 'party'.

i agree about Nikki too.

What's an "aoli"? Sounds very lah-di-da!

I adore Richard, and Andrew is growing on me as well. He cracked me up last night and had a couple of really good lines, my favorite of which was the "culinary boner" one! The other was the popeye/ spinach/ wet dream one. So funny!

I also like Antonia and Stephanie.

Very interesting about the new wedding dress trend!

Just FYI, I tuned in Bravo 12 Noon EST today and they were rerunning the Top Chef wedding episode from Season One! Very enlightening....I had forgotten what a disaster that wedding feast was...right down to cake made from a premade mix, with eggshells to boot and a salmon from usually brilliant chef Harold that was "tasteless". It was so bad that there was no winner from the 5 competitors. I think this time round they had a longer time to prepare (although no sleep) and they definitely had a larger crew (of eight).

I didn't really like Richard (at first) but I have to admit he does have skill and after last night he is winning me over. LOL

Texannie is right, a lot of brides are doing that now. It seems a watse of money to me.
I watch that show on TLC where women buy bridal gowns and some of them say they want a gown that flows well when they dance. But, some of them mention they have another dress for the reception.

My little cousins wedding is upcoming and she's changing 3 times.
Her wedding dress is quite heavy so she's changing into something less lighter for the reception and she's also changing for her after party.

An aioli is, for the most part, a condiment or sauce. For example, mix up mayo, brown mustard, and garlic and you'll get a delish aioli to dip artichoke leaves in. Red pepper aioli is yummy with grilled veggies on a sandwich. I think it's originally French and is an olive oil base with garlic, but when you add an egg to oil, you get mayo.

Probably a bit la di da, but I'm not from the south (where you put mayo on a Jello mold??? EEESH!).

(Sorry, I just noticed I spelled it wrong before! It's "aioli". Duh me!)

Hehehe... I actually do have a Tupperware Jell-O mold (from the '80's, the kind with the interchangeable pieces so the top of the mold has a different design). The last time I used a Jell-O mold? In the '80's!!!

Well, wait! I have an antique Jello-O mold, in the shape of a cat. But it's an antique and not used! :-)

To move away from the Southern mayo question to really important matters -I screwed up my recording of the episode! Does anyone know when it will repeat?

I state again that mayo is its own food group here in the South!

Tn, it'll repeat a couple of times and then again at 9pm I think next Weds. I'm too lazy to go look it up, but it repeats quite often.

Ok - we had "perfection" salad in Ohio - it was orange jello w/cabbage and carrots in it (shredded) and some kind of mayo mix on the top. I NEVER ate it, but my dad adores it!

As for the show - I want DALE gone! He got on my last nerve last night, but I can see why Nikki was booted. If she'd been 'top' chef, she'd have kicked those guys into gear to be sure they did things the classic Italian way.
