I don't know who drove me more nuts this episode, Stephen or Tiffani. Then again, Stephen and his stupidity amuses me, while Tiffani just needs a bitchslap.

Dave - Yay for Dave! I love Dave, I do. He's my underdog right now. I mean, I'm not even sure he's the best chef or even one of the best chef, but he's incredibly sociable and sparks in a crowd, and that was what worked for him tonight. I know he gets overemotional and stuff, but I think my love of Andrae last season on PR shows I'm willing to forgive the occasional crying jag.

Harold - See, I would love to try Harold's food and I respect the way he steps back from confrontation the way he does. He really is not trying to start an argument and he's a straight-shooter. Honestly, has anybody in the house started any shit with him at all this season? Nothing substantial, unlike Tiffani and everybody she runs into. I'm still a little iffy about that, though, because I can't figure out if that's the way he normally is or whether he's playing it up for the judges.

Tiffani - Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie. Seriously, not only can she not shut up for more than five fucking seconds, but she pretty much dug her own grave right in front of the goddamn judges. Tiffani, if someone is complaining to the judges that you don't let him get a word in edgewise, LET HIM GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE WHEN YOU'RE IN FRONT OF THEM. You're proving his point and you might as well have been on the phone with the travel agent buying Dave's ticket to France at that point. I really don't care how great your food is. Bite me, asshat.

Lee Anne - Oh, I felt for her when she ended up with Stephen and Miguel. Miguel's been on a downward spiral the past few episodes and Stephen's a dope. Now there is a woman who definitely needed a big old bottle of Stephen's wine when that challenge was done.

Stephen - Stephen, you amuse me in your vast stupidity and arrogance, but honestly, shut your cakehole. No one wants a lecture with dinner. No one wants a lecture EVER. I can't believe you sat there at the judges' table and honestly complained that you didn't get enough time to give the guests a geography lesson. God, you're an idiot. An idiot that makes me laugh, but a moron nonetheless.

Miguel - Aw, Miguel. You just fell right the hell apart there towards the end, didn't you? Ah, well, at least you won the Junk Food challenge.

Next week: Stephen and Tiffani both get into trouble, and I enjoy every fucking minute of it. *flails in preparation*

EDIT: Okay, see, know why I don't go to the TWoP forum for Top Chef? The fact that they're all complaining about Dave's cursing being unprofessional when EVERY contestant has cursed on camera and/or in front of the judges is just a prime example.

yaye for Dave! i was so glad he had a good week. well. as good as can be expected when dealing with tiffani.

i like harold yes. he has his head on straight.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I really think the judges need a button that they can push to make dinosaurs eat the competitors that act like morons. And that they use it on Tiffani first.

[quietdiscerning.livejournal.com]

are you sure you dont want to use it on stephen first? cuz uh. if i hear him spew one more time about plantains and what region they come from and how its a little known fact i might just KILL SOMEONE and id rather let the dino do it.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

See, I hate Stephen, but at the same time I can't stop laughing at him because he's THAT ridiculous. Tiffani's just a bitch.

[iphignia939.livejournal.com]

As soon as Tiffani started in with "American Workshop has been an idea I've had for five years", I just...I started yelling. I couldn't help it. And I couldn't help but love Tom: "Harold, I can't wait to hear what you're going to say." And Harold's just over there, shaking his head and keeping his mouth shut. Which is why I love him, even though he does have his moments where I want to smack him upside his head.

Dave! And Lee Anne! Both of whom I love so, so much right now, I cannot tell you. Dave's like Andrae with the crying jags, and as soon as Lee Anne started yelling at Miguel about misjudging the price of the snapper -- because yes, Miguel, $7.99 and $17.99 are exactly the same -- I wanted to hug her and buy her a beer.

I know it's not a show, but if Bravo wanted to do Top Sommalier? Twelve Stephens competing against each other? Oh, God, I am so there.

As soon as Tiffani started in with "American Workshop has been an idea I've had for five years", I just...I started yelling.

You, too? I swear I was making the exact same faces as Dave and Harold at that point. It was like, "Tiffani, do you even realize you sound about as snobby as Stephen does right now?"

Dave's like Andrae with the crying jags

YESYESYES. That's why I love him. He's like that adorably overemotional gay best friend you haul out of bars sobbing on a weekly basis. I know this guy, damn it.

[iphignia939.livejournal.com]

If you took out "American Workshop" and replaced it with something pretentious and Japanese? It would have been plucked from Stephen's head. I'd pay real money to hear silence from her corner of the room.

And on the subject of Stephen -- I mean, I want to like him, because the judges aren't wrong when they keep saying he's very young. But then he's sitting on the counter saying they've got this in the bag, and all I can think is, "Dude, you were 45 minutes from opening, and you were still setting up."

Dave is every girl's overemotional gay best friend, and he is not afraid of gas station food, and when he's not flustered and cursing he's actually very good at connecting with his audience. And he wears a samurai bandana. I like that in a man.

If anyone behind the scenes loves us, there will be a reunion show before the finale.

Exactly. Her lack of self-awareness is just becoming pathological at this point. I mean, I know she was supposed to argue why she was qualified to go to Cannes, but come ON, lady.

But then he's sitting on the counter saying they've got this in the bag, and all I can think is, "Dude, you were 45 minutes from opening, and you were still setting up."

I don't think it's so much that I like him as much as I like watching him. He always does that -- he could be cooking up a mud pie when everyone else is working with real groceries and he'd still say he had it in the bag. Either he's overconfident to the point of insanity or he's just an idiot, and thinking he's an idiot makes it easier for me to laugh at him.

I would give up a kidney for a reunion show. Oh, yes.

[the-jackalope.livejournal.com]

Oh man the moment when the judges were railing on Stephan and he was describing the customers faces as "wide eyes and slack jaw" as interested I wanted to shout through the TV at him "no that's the glazed over look"

He is so amusing, but if I ever really had to deal with him I'd slap him.

As for next week, cake mix. Seriously?! Cake is one of the easiest pastries to make, and ok yes wedding cake so lots of it. But still!!!!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, I sincerely hope that cake mix stunt gets Tiffani sent packing. Hell, even I know better than to pull that crap. I love the fact that Tom was all like, "Look what I found in the garbage!", like she was too stupid to hide the evidence.

I will flip out if that happens, because if they do this show the same way they do the Project Runway finale, Dave will get a shot in Las Vegas whether we see it or not, and hopefully Stephen will get eliminated before then so it'll come down to Dave, Harold, and Lee Anne, which would probably be the happiest I've ever been with any final three in any reality show I've ever watched.

[caseylane.livejournal.com]

Man, am I out numbered. I like Tiffani way better than Le Ann. I think she's the better chef and is at least honest about her asshatery.

I was glad Dave won the trip because he worked damn hard setting things up and winning over those customers.

I was sorry to see Miguel go but he's been struggling the past few weeks. He was honestly a lot more talented than I initially thought he was.

Stephen? Damn, he can leave any time. If Dave is the Andrae then Stephen is Santino, only less skuzzy.

My guess is Harold and Tiffany for the finale.
