Good point on the Nutri-system Teach.

I thought last night was a bit boring. I also thought it was stupid to go for the duck breast last night.

Another thing, I am really tired of bloody cuts in the kitchen, UGH

They keep giving them ingredients I never heard of - Sharon fruit, purple sweet potatoes, and whatever was in the bottle. I can not even imagine what their dishes taste like.

I thought it was a real shame that the guy could not complete his dishes last night. He seemed to be alot more creative than the winner. He just could not speed up.

I thought they said the sharon fruit was akin to a pomegranate, but it looked nothing like a pomegranate to me!

Knightpatti - you should come here and shop in some of our ethnic grocery stores! Fish eyeballs only begin the list of yummy ingredients!!

Watched last night and was SO glad it ended as it did. If Paris guy had won, I'd have been very upset. He seemed to think "intention" was 90% of being successful - if I'm eating at his restaurant, I couldn't care less about his intention - I want food that is executed well enough to taste good!

We agree with you, Teach. I couldn't believe half he things he was saying. I understood it in some strange fashion, but wasn't buying what he was selling.

Drat, Drat, and Double Drat! I was so wound up with remembering to tape BB at a different time that I forgot to set the VCR for this show! When will I be able to catch a re-run - TIVO folks to the rescue here!

Enjoyable show tonight - some of the best chefs, I think, once the first fella' left. All of them were likable, but I was glad avocado mousse guy won - not sure why, just liked him.

I don't know - it was a re-run (bald guy wins then cries), but it's hard to tell when a season's over when it's a show like this with no "finale" showdown.

This was a rerun, too, and I really didn't like the winner - too arrogant. The Chopped Championship I'll definitely watch! (How in the world am I going to keep up with school starting?!! Too many cooking shows, not enough time!)

THis was a rerun? My DVR taped it because it showed as new. Well guess it does not matter as I had never seen it so it was new to me but when I pulled up my guide on the DVR, it clearly said new. Did you see they are going to have a Chopped Championship, I think they will bring back all the Chopped winners and then get a final winner. Hmmm, very much like Top Chef Masters but ok with me because I like to watch this show.

HELP!! Does anyone know if tonights show titled "High Hopes" is a rerun? I'm taping shows for TNT while she's gone, and I have 2 FULL tapes of misc. shows for her. If it's not a rerun, I would have to do 1 show on a whole tape by itself because she'll be home tomorrow, and I have to get them in the mail tomorrow. TIA!!!!

Do you ever want to look some of these chefs up to see where they work, so you can make sure not to go to their establishment? That one guy that seemed perfectly fine with bleeding into the food he was preparing and only put on a glove once it was insisted upon, then later double dipped two courses in a row, even though he was warned about it....nope. I don't ever want to eat where he cooks! He was sure he didn't double dip the second time, which tells me he does it all the time without even thinking.

I'd love to have seen the judges say, "I would love to taste your food and judge it, but since you double dipped again, I can't bring myself to put this stuff in my mouth cause I have no ideas what germs I might be getting from you."

He lost anyway, but maybe these people who have questionable hygiene would learn a lesson if they blatantly lost a round (and were therefore chopped) cause the judges refused to eat their food

Who - I had very similar thoughts. Double dipping came natural to him that he did not realize that he was doing it.
