Welcome home, Chris! Lunch soon? I like the Europeans - yes, both of them - Jamie ( I LOVE scallops), Hosea, and Carla. I doubt that Carla has enough depth of skill to win, but I would just love to have lunch with that gal!

I think Carla is a hoot. It is probably the reason she was selected for the show. They need a certain amount of comic relief, you know!

Regarading the finale being shot this weekend, they said the Holiday challenge was filmed last summer so maybe they are already filming a new show.

They always get a few months break between the last show and the finale. The economy must be getting bad. They aren't going anyplace exotic like Hawaii or Puerto Rico this year.

Ooo, but New Orleans has exotic cuisine....Cajun, Creole, French, etc. So many ways for the locale to influence the final challenges. I'm looking forward to it!

Here's hoping Lex feels really badly tomorrow, but recovers enough to hit Commanders on Thursday!

Okay, this was the plan. Commander's has an outside smoking area for the employees but it has a wall around it so the employees can smoke outside without being seen by people on the street. My plan was to get two attorneys that I work with to give me a lift so I could scale the wall (they also watch Top Chef). This was a great plan... until I saw the weather and they are now saying we may get snow Thursday evening. I don't know if I can scale the wall if it is snowing. So now I think we are just going to do a drive-by and see if we can see any action.

I've heard a little snow can't hurt you! It may cool down your fever a bit, too, Lex, hon! <evil grin>

Now they are saying while it will only be in the 20's tomorrow, the conditions aren't right for us to get any snow. ...and Panda... I've scaled more walls than I care to admit. I've never let a 6-8 foot barrier keep me away from anything!

I remeber it snowed once in New Orleans when I lived there, it shut the city down. The ground was barely dusted white with the snow accumalation. My sister & I, midwest born & bred thought it was funny. No one knew how to drive or what to do.

Sugs, we are now used to snow down here. It snowed on Christmas Day 2004 - we had about 3-4 inches. Then it snowed this past December 11. The Metro area got about an inch of snow and the outer parts of NO got between 3-8" of snow. Now, we are seasoned professionals! I just haven't scaled a 6 foot wall in snow, but I'm willing to try anything!!

Tonight's elimination left me with a really bad feeling. I found Ariane a bit annoying at times, but I like her and I definitely think the other two on her team set her up to take the fall. I hope Leah goes next, I thought she should have gone home tonight. I knew as soon as I saw the way things were going with Leah and Hosea that Ariane was probably going to be in trouble. I think she knew it too.

I think Ariane got screwed. Leah and Hosea set her up for failure. Leah just dropped down to the bottom of my list ...

Leah who? she is so blah to me! It just seems there are some chefs there that really try, even if they don't always come out on top, and she does not stand out to me as a top contender.
