It seems the right person went home. And, was glad about who went home at the beginning. She seemed a little too smug or something.

I like this group so far. I think it will be a good season.

I was pulling for Eugene, probably because he has no schooling, is rough around the edges a bit. I like him.

Right now, I like several of them.

I like Chicago version better!! *BEG!!

Honestly, I think the contestants, they've really stepped it up - like in Project Runway - now that its a "proven" show - better and better competitors are showing up...

Eugene is Gene, right? from Hawaii? I like him too. Also like Jamie. Least favorite is know-it-all Stefan.

Was disappointed to see the two friends eliminated so quickly. I was interested in seeing how that friendship played out in the series...oh, well. Was the woman eliminated the one whose husband is in Iraq?

Yes to the husband in Iraq question above.

The women look really weak as compared to the guys this time around. Stefan, having cooked in a lot of different countries has a definite edge. I would love to sit at Judges' Table but not do the cooking for it!

TnT, I think you are right about Stefan having a definite edge. I really liked him at the beginning of tonight's episode, then not so much, then was more neutral. I hope he tones down his cockiness a bit because he sure does have talent.

Loved that the guy from "a little rock in the middle of the Pacific" nailed the Indian food having never had it or prepared it before. So awesome.

DH were going to have a bet to see how long before someone would get beeped and who it would be but we weren't fast enough.

It was easy to tell who was going home during the quick fire challenge. They were letting that woman talk to the cameras way too much. That just screamed out to me that she was gone.

After the main challenge with the toss-up between the experience chef and the one still studying at the CIA, I was torn at first between "having potential to learn" and "already should be there". I finally talked myself into the same thing the judges apparently did. This is a show for chefs who have already made it and they are looking for the best of that bunch. It's not a program where you learn to cook. I'd say, if this program is on still in 3 or 4 years, I'd love to see that kid come back and see what he can do.

There is one person already driving me absolutely insane. I'd name names but I don't know what it is. Stay tuned for next week.

Jimmer's so fast with the photos. Carla. She makes me crazy! However, I already like this cast better than last seasons and I love that they compete in a different city every year. That being said, I wish I had found Top Chef in season 1 instead of season 3 so I could have seen the S.F. season. Waiting for DVDs at Netflix.

Ah, well, I was okay with Lauren leaving but I kind of wanted Patrick to stay. Ariane lost me at "I have a cookbook".

Yeah what's with the names? Jimmer got them from the official site and suddenly they are using Pat for Patrick, Eugene for Gene, Daniel for Danny, Jeffrey for Jeff and Carla comes to the first comps with straightened hair, just to make her harder to find.

Actually, Jimmer had a bit of a nudge from me and I was lucky that TNT asked when this started and started the thread which nudged me to go look for the website and the pictures. Team effort here :-)

It was really helpful tonight.. I kept looking at the pics to figure out who was who.. and I was even correct some of the time.

Oh, no! I missed it. Oh well, at least Bravo reruns these shows over and over, so I can catch up.
