I'm going to get this done really, really fast ...

[apocalypsos]

... because I have to leave for the dentist soon.

A few thoughts:

-- It's either going to come down to Kenny vs. Angelo in the final two, or one of them is going to implode spectacularly and get eliminated shockingly somewhere around the middle of the season. Oh, show, you're so dependable. *hugs*

-- Oh, John, why'd you have to go and make dessert? Are you crazy? Nobody ever succeeds at dessert on this show! You should have changed your mind the moment you thought, "I know, I'll buy the puff pastry rather than making it myself!" Oh, no, honey. Just ... no.

-- Tracey's going to be a problem, isn't she? She's already reading as a bit of a snot. I'm hoping that doesn't continue. The world doesn't need another Tiffani, not the least of which because TC fandom already likes the Tiffani we have, thankyouverymuch.

-- I was shaking my head at the chefs who were watching the goofing-around in the stew room and rolling their eyes and being all, "I'm here to be a serious competitor." Dude, it's the STEW ROOM. You're SUPPOSED to get drunk and act stupid in the stew room. You can be an omg!!!serious competitor when you're actually, you know, COOKING.

-- I will say that I was thrilled to see them at the terrace on the museum, because I wrote that terrace into The Grand Prize Winner and it was nice to know what the view looks like, since I've never actually been there. :)

-- Chicken liver pate? Ew.

-- I would love to try and make Alex's deconstructed borscht, because it sounded like it was really tasty, and I do sort of like him after that first episode.

-- I'm still at that stage where everybody is just one big blur save for a select few, but then again isn't that always the case this early in the season? And I've only watched it once. (Yes, I know. I think I've ended up watching every episode of Top Chef at least five times each save for season two. Ew, season two.)

Have you seen this

Foooooool! Chicken liver pate is delish! The best part of any animal is the liver. Nom nom nom.

I love those videos where they compile the "I'm Not Here To Make Friends" meme. Win the game or make friends -- you can only do one! :D

I think it was more THAT chicken liver pate that threw me off, really. Granted, I can't remember ever eating pate, but I'll give anything a try once. But that pate just looked so disgusting.

Fat-free chicken liver paté. I loved the judges' visible double-takes when she laid that out there.

I think my favorite part was how she's made it hundreds of times and she still couldn't remember the recipe. Hell, I've made my mom's beef chow mein maybe five or six times and I'm pretty sure I could remember it close enough off the top of my head. And cooking's not my JOB.

Chicken liver pate can be really, really yummy (less-expensive foie gras!). Although if I were competing it's not the way I'd want to bet.
