Thanks for the heads up, but my TV DVR guide does say 10-11:15 (phew). Have to watch this next week.

Attitude on Top Chef? Really?
I'm waiting for this weekend when I can watch the full episode. Without having seen it, I can live with Elia being gone. I never expect Fabio or Stephen to win but would like to see them both a bit longer.

I was really happy with the episode. I'm especially glad to see Jennifer again; she was a favorite of mine. I also like Fabio, but I'm reminded why I always detested Carla and her "cooking with love" schtick. Happy to have Chef Bourdain and his potty mouth there, too.

Which mod is it that so graciously puts up the headers for us? We could sure use one to keep up with who is who!

Well, the only cheftestant I really didn't care for left the first week. Now I'm going to be sad every week from the eliminations because I like everyone that is left. Love me some Anthony Bourdain. I'm thrilled that he will be a regular judge this year.

Thank you Jimmer I knew they'd ax Elia first, just based on her interaction with the other chefs - no drama - Stephen - yuck he has enough love for himself, he can just go - bye Fabio - again, he likes drama, knows his drama will keep the producers to keep him on longer - so cut him please - for his attitude against Anthony Bordain alone, he should've been axed, but the producers keep drama, and Fabio does provide that!

Did anyone notice the previews? They are going to have that Deen woman on. What will the challenge be? Make a recipe using as much butter as possible? Develop a food certain to increase type 2 diabetes? Oh and a US Open and a Cookie Monster challenge, too.

I could totally go without ever seeing Mike Isabella, Marcel, or Stephen EVER again! All three had massive egos that made them really unlikable, in my view.

while I am not a fan of Paula Deen's cooking - EVEN though I am from the south! - I have total respect for the way she was able to turn her life around and make it better! She has earned every moment of success that comes to her - IMO!

The next time I criticize her for being successful will be the first. And speaking of Mike Isabella, did he gain like 30 lbs since the last time we saw him? He looked like it to me, but I might be crazy.

Tish, it did appear that Mike Isabella had put on some weight. He appeared much puffier in the face. <<<---- still loves her some Stephen and Carla.

Butter is not a bad food for diabetics. Really love the group that is there and since they all did fairly well in their seasons we should be seeing some really good dishes, at least I hope.

I like Paula Deen, and I like butter. In fact, I like my butter thick enough so I can't see my toast through it

Butter is not a bad food for diabetics Ah, but I made the butter and diabetic questions separate; they were different Deen Challenge possibilities. Another possibility would be "cackle while cooking," which likewise would have nothing to do with diabetes.

A lot of the guys look bigger than they did on their season-Mike, Fabio, Stefan, Dale season 4. I think the years were much easier on the ladies.

Being obese can contribute to diabetes. An excess of butter can contribute to being obese. Therefore, an excess of butter can contribute to diabetes! Just finished watching last night's show and I really think Stephen should have gone home. He's really got no business being there. That said, I predict he's not long for this season. But... I would've like to have seen Elia a bit longer.

Some of the guys look bigger, but Richard looks MUCH thinner! Thought you all might enjoy Gail's block CLICK HERE. She explains pretty objectively why Elia went in place of Stephen or Fabio. I'd rather have seen Stephen go, but once he and Marcel are history, I'll be enjoying every single second. It was kind of fun to NOT see Marcel getting so much "face time." He's not the only character this time around.

Chef Bourdain also has a blog, but his is on Bravo: link. It's very funny. Gail's was VERY informative re: how they make decisions about the dishes
