I don't think it is going to be on the Andy Cohen late night show.

There is going to be a reunion show next week in the regular Top Chef time slot and Andy Cohen is going to be the host. At least I think this is right.

People People!! Where are you? Seriously! I got a whiff of the peagate - truly funny montage of the judges...

and they announced TOP CHEF ALL STARS!! WooHoo! (Tiffiney and Angelo from this season)

Alex said he didnt steal the pea puree - and they said he would have had to leave if they could prove he took it - then Tiffany said she didnt believe Alex - one chef said she saw him use a blender on the peas, Tiffany said the night before he didnt know what to do with the peas they werent that good - so no answer!

Lets see if I can make this work

Headstrong Tiffani Faison came in a close second to winner Harold Dieterle in the show's first season. She's back for another crack at the title, along with sommelier Steven Asprinio, best remembered for his insufferably tedious lectures on wine.

Foamophile Marcel Vigneron, however irritating, didn't deserve the bully treatment he received from his Season 2 peers (one of whom was ousted from the show for bad behavior), including fellow finalist Elia Aboumrad, memorable for her impulsive mid-season shaved head and authentic Mexican cuisine.

Season 3 runners-up and close pals Casey Thompson and Dale Levitski rightly deserved their spots in the finale, though many fans felt laid-back, self-taught Texan Tre Wilcox was cut way too soon.

Fauxhawked Richard Blais nearly aced Season 4 with his inventive, witty molecular concoctions but faltered in the final challenge. He's reunited with down-to-earth single mom Antonia Lofaso, snarky Spike Mendelsohn (and his array of trendy hats), and Dale Talde, notable for his spicy Asian fare and his hot temper.

Fabio Viviani, voted Season 5's fan favorite, is back to cook up more authentic Italian dishes and endearing malapropisms alongside spunky, tattooed San Franciscan Jamie Lauren and quirky Carla Hall, the DC pastry chef who nearly pulled off a come-from-behind victory but doubted herself in the season's crucial final moments.

Intense Philadelphia chef Jennifer Carroll gave the formidable Voltaggio brothers a run for their money in the sixth-season finale, while castmate Mike Isabella maintained his confident Jersey swagger right up until he was knifed for lousy leeks in the tenth episode.

Finally, fresh off Season 7 are good-natured Tiffany Derry, the former Texas iHop employee, and Angelo Sosa, front-runner for the top prize until a sickness wiped him out during the Singapore finale and sent him packing for the All Stars — and a second chance.

The battle of the Top Chef All-Stars begins Wed 12/1, 10/9 c, on Bravo.

What a wonderful show tonight..the Reunion. They
showed clips of the contestants humor and pranks
and many clips about the judges. It was just won-
derful and if they show a repeat on Bravo, I will
watch it again.

Great cast for all stars. I am a little surprised Casey is doing this but they must love the competition and cooking. This ought to be good.

Is anyone watching the late-night Andy Cohen show on Thursday who can share the name of the fan favorite? I suffered through the whole half hour last week, only to learn that I had to wait til this week. I am hoping that someone who actually enjoys the show can report in to us!

Is there a date for All Stars? I though Elia was a guy, but the reporter used "her" above when talking about him/her.

Tnt we have to wait until DECEMBER 1 for All Stars!!

I think there will be way too many "personalities" and something is going to blow! I cant imagine! I cant wait!! lol And last night they showed Angelo's practical jokes - cant imagine what "jokes" are going to on - that we wont see until the wrap show!

I do enjoy Andy Cohen - I think he does ask the questions - from a fan point of view - I just have to try and remember to watch tonight!

TNT, Elia was one of the cheftestants that decided to shave her head. Elia and a couple of the others thought it would be funny to hold Marcel down and shave his head. And I vaguely remember someone got kicked off the show because of this incident.

Fan Favorite will be announced on Andy Cohen's late night talk show tonight. They are trying to get us to watch that show; really bums me out that they can't do it on the reunion show. Reader234 (see above) is kindly going to try to remember to watch for us to find out who it is!

I promise I'll be awake - but I dont promise I'll remember to watch!

I think I just got used to looking for it on at 11pm Chicago time, and then it went to 10pm Chicago time - then it disappeared for awhile!!

Thanks so much! Yay for Tiffany! She is the one I would have chosen: talent and class all the way. I remember how she took time to help others.

I am actually surprised that Angelo was in second place!

YAY, Tiffany! We loved the reunion so much that it's still on the TIVO so we can watch it again. Hands down, my favorite part was the judges' clips - what a total and complete riot! The prank videos made me like Angelo a little more, too.

Can't wait for All Stars, but I was bummed that last season's Kevin was not there (where is that cute red-bearded man?).

This may be the first all-stars show I am looking forward too. I like Angelo and am looking forward to seeing him again. I don't think he is as big a tool as he first appeared to be when the show started.

Reader I caught the East Coast showing. I love that some of my HD cable channels let me do that.

I too like Andy's show and Ben Wiener makes me smile. You get to see the crazy HW's and other guests talk about the shows. Andy had his folks announce the Top Chef fan favorite last night, sooo cute!

ROFLOL then to find out - WWHL has gone back to an East coast live, Central delayed an hour - there for awhile East coast got it live at 11 and Central time zone got it live at 10 -

Isn't Casey the one who worked with Carla on her finale dishes, and then went on to bad-mouth Carla all over the place after it aired? Carla handled it with grace, Casey not so much.

I'd rather have seen cute red-headed Kevin or Bryan Voltaggio from that season than Mike Isabella, but I'm really glad to see Jennifer again. I'm hoping the crappy acting people like Stephen (the wine guy) and Marcel will get the ax early on so I can really enjoy the show.

I would loved to have seen Kevin also. He was amazing. Maybe some of them were approached and turned it down??? I th ink we have seen plenty of Stephen and Marcel in the Top Chef specials that have been done over the past couple of years. There was another guy in Season One that I really liked, he came in third. Would have loved to have seen him but I can't remember h is name! I remember he forgot to make a dish in the finale.
