Padma is with child: Huffington Post "Model, author, and Emmy-nominated Padma Lakshmi confirms that she is carrying her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis, a cause for which she has co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America. As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle, and due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Ms. Lakshmi's privacy at this time," the rep continues.

Congrats to Padma - I have a niece and a sil that were told the same thing. Quite embarrassing to niece - her and her (now dh) bf were stationed in Afghan. planned a HUGE wedding for Jan - but got secretly married (Army thing, thought it wise in the war zone) oh, her dh is a minister - she got PG!!! so the cat came out of hte bag! (their secret wedding that is!!) I know her mom told us she couldnt get pg - when she was it was funny trying to explain - but but the OB/GYN said when you have endometriosis.... (also he was in a "life threatening accident - very scary - but all is on the mend- and the miracle baby is a huge reason he fought to live!) we all believe in miracles!!

http://www.endofound.org/about-endometriosis.php just incase anyone is interested in the link. also, the adhesions can be removed surgically. and the condition is actually quite common. Many of us just live with the pain.

Padma's green outfit last night was horrible. The pants fit too tightly across her stomach and bum, and actually made her butt look heavy. Every time she was onscreen, I was extremely distracted and kept looking at it in a weird mix of fascination and revulsion. It felt more like Project Runway than Top Chef until she finally changed.

boy that Mike I. is really not a nice person. Hope he goes soon. I like Ash, but after some of his Vitaglio worshipping comments, he might as well just bow out now.

Yes, Ash did himself no favors by saying "he doesn't mind cleaning the brushes of Picasso."

Please don't hate me. I'm starting to find Mike I. amusing. I don't believe he is really as nasty as he is being edited.

Grooch, I found him more tolerable last night also. I caught myself thinking, "Hey, he's not too bad!" and then wondered if I had eaten a bad mushroom and was hallucinating. If someone comes in here and defends Padma's Jolly Green Outfit, I'll know it's true.

Who went home last nite. I was on the computer and missed it so I watched it again and did the same dang thing. I really don't want to watch it again. The green outfit was horrible. Her stylist should be fired

The bottom teams were Ashley and Eli, and Michael V and Ash, with Ashley going home.

I'm glad she was the one to go home. I thought she was the weakest cook left. The show is now at that point where I don't want to see any of them go.

LOL - we said the same thing! With that outfit, she would have been "aufed" for sure.

I totally agree about the green outfit. It was extremely distracting. I think that's the first time I've seen Padma wear something that made her body look bad. The color, the style, the fit, and the fabric were all completely wrong. Heidi and Tim would never have approved of that outfit lol.

Thanks, Roxi! 5:00 works better from me that 9:00 as those are the shows I keep falling asleep on!

I was sorry to see Ashley go; she had really been coming into her own on the last 2 challenges. I would have preferred to see Eli go; someone I don't think we have seen anything superior from (correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think he has won or been in top 3 of anything). That said, I really don't think that brother Michael should have gone, irregardless of what they said about overcoming the faulty electric problem.

I would have hated seeing Michael go. That's one bad thing about the way they do the show. I wish they could accumulate points from week to week. This way, one bad week and someone who could have placed first in every challenge might be sent home for one bad dish.

Grooch, I have to agree with you about Mike not being as nasty as he is being edited. Last week they showed him sitting around in the house drinking and getting along with all the others in the house. (And I've never heard anyone say anything really nasty about him either.)

I've noticed that ... although he bugs the crap out of some of the viewers, not one contestant has had anything but positive things to say about him.

... and the one person he doesn't think should be there, Robin, doesn't get any respect from any of the other cheftestants. Evidently, they don't think she belongs there either.

Yes, Robin seems to get on all of their nerves. Her talking would make me batty, I admit. I don't like to be chattered at.
