I don't know about them setting anything up or letting Laurine go because of what Kevin and Jen have done before. If the blogs are to be believed -- and they sure seem believable -- you get no credit for previous performance except for one thing: in the even of a tie at the finale.

I hope Jen stays all the way until the end. She's pretty hot and I really like her eyes. For a chef, she's got a nice tummy. I wonder why no one stepped up to cuddle with her when she requested it in the stew room.

I think it could be cool, if only because the Top Chef chefs always act so flummoxed at the thought of doing desserts. Getting to drool over yummy desserts made by people who know how to make them sounds interesting.

Re: Top Chef Vegas - starts 19 Aug
I'm not particularly interested in this either. Part of the interesting thing about Top Chef for me is how they put together the meals, especially in the final round. Although it is usually pretty interesting to see the chefs get puzzled by being challenged to put together a dessert. But for pastry chefs, this will literally be a piece of cake so that challenge probably won't be there.

These pastry chefs make desserts all day, everyday, so unless they come up with some wacky challenges, it should be a breeze for all of them.

Let me soften up a little. She's certainly not ugly. But she makes some of the ugliest faces i've ever seen. Mouth-gaping, ugly faces.

Jen's face always reminded me of Kairi from this video:

Arrogance and entitlement sends someone packing tonight. Natalie Portman is a beauty for the ages. Vegetarians are unnatural.
"It's like a little prick on the tip of my tongue"
Best line in Top Chef history.

I just hope Jennifer gets her confidence back.
While I don't mind seeing Mike leave, I am really sick of Robin on my TV screen. I could have lived with Mike for another week.
Mike Voltaggio is a giant douchebag.

Wow, as a vegetarian I should have been drooling at this episode but I wasn't excited about any of that food. Goes to show you, that "top chefs" are clueless at cooking vegetarian. Most of those dishes looked like boring side dishes. I can cook better than that!
I am soooo happy to see that douchebag Mike Isabella leave. Even better to see him eliminated before Robin.

It was a little weird, those dishes were very strange choices. Makes me wonder if there were further menu restrictions than merely "vegetarian". No grains at all, none. No pasta, no soy products. Was there even potato? Almost no dairy. They kept talking about "proteins" but none of the dishes -- with the possible exception of Eli's -- had much.

I was really surprised that someone didn't attempt soup. A gazpacho would probably have won it.
Last episode was probably the best episode of Top Chef since the finale of season 4. Season 5 was horrifically boring.
