Did anyone watch last night's premiere episode? Looks to be an interesting edition of Top Chef. I'm not sure about Gail as a host (although I do love her). I do love Jacques Torres though, and it was cool to see him as a guest judge.

I'm also very impressed with the skills these peeps have. I've never used liquid nitrogen before (could you just SEE me in my little kitchen with that?).

I will say, though, that some of them have very different ideas about creating the "most decadent chocolate dessert ever". Morgan, the guy with the fried chocolate pie? I mean, if you are gonna do chocolate, do a chocolate pie crust, dude. And Seth seems to be a real piece of work. While he was in the top three, he sure had a monster scowl on his face when he didn't win the elimination challenge.

Seems to be some very over-the-top personalities on this show, and mostly in the men's side of things. The bit they showed when they got into their loft... ugh. I would NOT want to room with most of them!! Prima donnas, fer sure.

I just caught a repeat of this show. I really liked it. I do think some of the men seem kind of unlikable so far. I really didn't like Zach at all, and when he was babbling about how making a dessert was like having a baby, I wanted to smack him. It was funny though because Gail looked at him like "You know nothing about giving birth". lolol

Zach was the one who blew fairy dust, or wait, it was DISCO dust, all over his plate, right? I saw that and even before Torres said anything, all I could think was ewww. I did love Gail's expression when he was talking about giving birth though. While his description was pretty much spot on, the "how the heck would YOU know" look was priceless.

Yeah, I think it aired at 11pm here the other night, but will move to its regular time starting next week, now that Top Chef: DC is over with.

I enjoyed the show but let me tell you that there are no sweet cookie-ladies on this show! There are some big time divas and they made me laugh. Next week looks really good.

I felt asleep watching this last night! Who won? I thought the cocktail based dessert were a clever twist -

Any chance someone could charm a banner from one of our fav moderators?

I'm sure the wonderful, kind, and clever Jimmer could make us a banner!

Tim went home last night, and I was sorely disappointed that it was him instead of that awful, awful Seth. I cannot believe what a spoiled rotten brat Seth acted like last night, and right in front of Gail and the judges, too. I think he is causing way too much disruption for the show and the other contestants, and he wouldn't even assure the judges that it wouldn't happen again. And I'd much rather have eaten something soupy like Tim made than that nasty looking Smurf-cake that Seth made. Geez.

Nerovh -I totally agree and wish it had been Seth. When he was crying on that guest judge's shoulder, the caption had him saying something like, "but, it was for my mommy". That's just sad. And he is a total disruption - and a menace - the way he is constantly running around the kitchen and dumping things over.
Zach handled the dumping of his dessert topper quite well, I thought. I'm glad he wasn't in the bottom three because of it.

I liked the cocktail-based dessert challenge, too. They made some really interesting looking desserts from what their drink inspirations. I would have loved to try some.

I swear sometimes I think they keep people for the "entertainment" value. I have no idea why they wouldn't have sent Seth home instead.

If I'm Seth's roommate, I'm sleeping with a gun under the pillow!

We REALLY need that banner as I know who Seth is - how not? - but don't know for sure who Tim was!

Where is that Pamy when you need her? She gets those mods charmed and banners posted in a snap!

TY, Nerovh, for the info about who went home - just wish I had a clear idea who the guy was!

Honestly I think Seth changes his looks - but I know him more for his sentimentality....

when he first broke down, dd was all protective of him, then when he went off at the lack of the grapefruit - wait, that's the same guy?

Tim is the older guy that's standing with his arms crossed behind the girl (Danielle) sitting on the wedge of pie. And hopefully that is the last time I will ever use the phrase "sitting on the wedge of pie." lolol

You're all making me laugh. Somehow I missed this but I will come up with a banner as soon as I can. :-)

Sooooo...does anyone else think that Seth has mommy issues?

PS: watching him last night was like watching a train crash into an asylum.

I LOOOOVE Zac, such a nice guy and also seems so talented. I was drooling over his chocolate red-filled candy cake. Also was way impressive with handling the stress of losing a component of his dish, and not quite finishing plating (Heidi's dish missing one piece). Friendly, cool under pressure, fun, talented to boot. I noticed he won the poll for the chef you would most want to share dessert with; not surprised!

Re judges: Love to see the older gentleman with ponytail on the judges panel--one of my absolute favorites from Top Chef Masters, kicking myself his name has slipped my mind. The minute I saw him, I thought I had to watch.

On the other hand, who is the Baldwin brother look-alike with the 50's Elvis hair slick? For some reason, he is a turn off for me, and i don't think it's just the hair! I am trying to figure it out.

I am not sure which one it was, I think Zac, pointed out to Seth that he had no idea what issues all the rest of them had and that he was being selfish to think everyone should baby him (my words)because he had problems outside the contest.

I think it kind of shocked him to realize that he was not the center of the world and that others might have problems also.

Then he went into his frantic phase during cooking and trying to "help" everyone to the point of getting in the way and driving everyone nuts.

Unless he gets his emotions under control, I doubt if he is long for this contest.

Oh I can't believe they kept Seth- he even said he can't promise he wont have another emotional breakdown. Oh wait- I answered my own wondering- that is why Bravo kept him- probably exercised that clause and overrode the judges to keep the drama. I was cringing the whole time he was on screen. He is a nutcase for sure- and I hope he leaves soon as he really spoiled tonights episode for me.
