Are you fucking kidding me?

Bravo's hit culinary competition series "Top Chef 3 Miami" returns with an hour-long special "Top Chef: 4-Star All-Stars" on Wednesday, June 6 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

"Top Chef: 4-Star All-Stars" reunites four of the finalists from season's one and two - team one's inaugural winner Harold Dieterle, Stephen Asprinio, Tiffani Faison, and Dave Martin compete against season two's winner Ilan Hall, Fan Favorite Sam Talbot, Elia Aboumrad, and molecular gastronomist Marcel Vigneron in a $20,000 cook-off for charity. The cook-off concludes with the two teams serving their meals to "Top Chef 3 Miami's" 15 new chefs.

Set your kitchen timers for the premiere of "Top Chef 3 Miami" on Wednesday, June 13 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, as the latest crop of 15 of the country's most impressive rising chefs hit beautiful Miami Beach - where the sun is hot and the competition hotter - in this third tropical season. "Queer Eye's" culinary expert Ted Allen brings his expertise to the judges table this season, joining cookbook author, actress and host Padma Lakshmi; Tom Colicchio, celebrated culinary figure and co-founder of Craft Restaurants; and returning judge Gail Simmons of Food & Wine.

As someone who just got done suffering through a sad excuse for an "All-Star" season ...

GO SEASON ONE!

I hope Ilan, Sam and Elia try the same shit as they did on the show with the season one competitors. I can see no one on the season one team reacting to their middle-school behavior at all, and then the entire team disappearing before Judges Table, with Tiffani whistling innocently when asked where they've gone.

AND I'D FUCKING CHEER.

Fucking assclowns.

I think, if that happened, it would be the first time I've ever rooted for Tiffani. Ever.

What would be even better: Season One team trading Stephen for Marcel. Overall, it's just a better fit.

It's weird, but after watching that second season I don't hate Tiffani anymore. Somehow being shown that there are far more repugnant contestants out there makes her seem more appealing. Maybe that was why they took on so many unmitigated assmonkeys in the second season.

I'd love for them to switch. Season one would treat Marcel way better and Stephen wouldn't put up with Season Two's shit for a minute. :)

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS.

I've missed them. First time I ever really got RPS.

No shit. They had a season 1 marathon on yesterday, so I sat and knitted and watched and was reminded of how much I loved the season one crew. Even Andrea and her "It'll give you a good bowel movement!" crap was less annoying after the Season 2 monkeys.

I just want Season 1 to freaking school Season 2. And if Season 2 does anything with "spanish" flavors, I will scream. That should be a rule. Ilan is not allowed to go near saffron.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Amen to that. There's not a chef on that season one team who's not more well-rounded than Ilan and his stupid focus on Spanish flavors, and I hope they trounce the fuck out of him and his team of bullies.

Is it really bad that I want Marcel to fuck it up for the season two team on purpose? Probably not. \o/

[paranoidgrl.livejournal.com]

I think Season 2 can screw it up on their own, without Marcel's help. And I don't want Marcel to do anything to make himself look bad. I want to pretend he's not as petty and childish as the others.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Well, that's true. God knows I don't want him going down to their level. (Even though I kind of do, just because I hate, hate, HAAAAATE all of them so very much.)

I really want to hear the Season One team's impression of their behavior in the kitchen. Hopefully they'll be sharing one, if only so Harold and the gang can pull Marcel aside and be like, "Dude, how do you put with that crap?"

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha, YES PLEASE. And then at the end, Season One will invite Marcel out for drinks.

[brynwulf]

Thanks for this heads up. I'll sure be watching BOTH! :)

Ooo - Ted as a regular judge? That would actually make me watch again.

Or some sort of twist where each team sends one person to the other, and S1 assures Marcel his dorkitude is fine with them and S2 is never seen again and Tiffani presents a "Soylent-themed" meal.
