I guess I the one person alive who is not a Carla fan.

I wish.... food allergies and intolerances are no fun

Margarine often has casein which is a protein found in milk. Earth Balances has a very good product the works well in cooking.

I use Earth Balance too, I think it's a really great product, and it doesn't cost any more then butter does.

I think Carla's my favorite to win now. I find most of the guys too cocky for my liking, even if they can cook. But since Tre was eliminated last week, I'm rooting for Carla now. I actually like her a lot better this season then I did in New York.

I think next week's episode looks really good too, between the Sesame Street characters, and having to cook at Target, it should be entertaining. And I think it will show who is resourceful, and who isn't.

I am so bummed about Fabio, he was/is my favorite contestant!

You is.

I ask you, WHY does Wed. have to have Survivor, Modern Family AND Top Chef? There's nothing on the rest of the week for me, all my viewing is Wednesdays. Spread it out man!

Thank heavens for DVRs!

AND American Idol!! I was just thinking how I have to figure out how to juggle it all! AI needs to be moved back to Tuesday nights. And/or Survivor back to Thursdays!

 

[Imzadi]

Yes, I am having the same problem. The premiere of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, is tonight. That means I have to watch TC when it re-airs later in the evening. My TV is missing a plug-in so I can't watch one show and tape another at the same time.

Yeah, my DH adn DS11 watch AI and they had to decide which to watch as it airs and which to DVR. Survivor won.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I wish they had left Survivor on Thursday nights, I keep on forgetting that it's switched to Wednesdays, but I don't have cable, so I'll watch that tonight, and Top Chef tomorrow.

 

[Imzadi]

Holy Cow!!!

The chefs really shouldn't be cooking at 4am. Really, the bottom 3 each made such simple mistakes that if they had more sleep, they each would have had better dishes. Not a great way to pick a top chef, or be eliminated because of it.

I can't believe Tiffany hasn't won once and she's still there over Fabio.

 

[kaytieeldr]

Well! Yet another surprise elimination!

 

[robinb]

I can't believe Tiffany hasn't won once.

I can. She's not talented enough and has skated through a number of challenges.

I was bummed to see Angelo go, but salt did him in. He moved up to my #3 spot and now he's gone. I guess Antonia is now my #3 as I don't like Tiffany or Dale.

I didn't quite get the next episode. There are 5 chefs left and they get the voted off "assistants" to help them? Doesn't that usually happen a lot later in the show? Like the final 3?

Tiffany has become the Jamie, who luckily squeaks by, by not being the worst.

I don't have a number 3 now. I don't like any of those chefs you mentioned. The last few episodes really turned me off of Antonia.

This episode really showed how Carla, when she is focused can really be on the money, but when she's off, she gets kid of ADD and unfocused.

In the beginning they showed her too much, and I thought she was going to go home. But, then they kept showing her too much, and I knew she wasn't.

As for all the assistants, I think since this is a Top Chef All-Stars, they wanted to have as many of them back as they could get. So maybe they are having this challenge early.

 

[Pastamom]

LOVED the quick fire with Elmo and Cookie Monster!!! Kind of surprised Dale won since he didn't bake a cookie.

Was surprised to Angelo to go home although when Tom(I think) made the inedible comment I saw the writing on the wall.

Can't wait to see next week. Looks like more Carla-isms are on the way. Not sure she is the best chef, but she is fun to watch.

 

[Angelhalo]

Dale's dish might have been worse, but regardless of what they claim, it's not all about a single dish. We've all seen them send home the worst chef, rather than the chef who made the worst dish on that day.

The fact is that overall, Dale is a much better chef than Fabio. Fabio puts out some good food, but he's very inconsistent and is on the bottom just as often as he's on the top. The only reason Fabio lasted as long as he did, in this season and his original season, is his personality. He's a lot of fun to have on the show, he seems like a truly nice guy, and he keeps everyone laughing and entertained. But as far as his talents as a chef, he can't compete with the top half of the contestants.

I was sorry to see him go too, but it was the right decision. I think we all want to see the best chefs in the finale and Fabio isn't one of them.

I completely disagree. I want the best chefs to be there and I think Fabio should still be there over Tiffany. I don't think he should win the whole thing, but he shouldn't have gone home when he did, regardless of his personality.

We were a little surprised last night. We keep waiting for the axe to drop on mediocre Tiffany.

 

[nikkistevej]

I am sad- two of my favorites gone two weeks in a row!!! Boooooo!!!!

I agree. Fabio was in the final three his season and he had won a few challenges or quickfires this season.

I'm surprised that Angelo was sent home when Dale was allowed to make that salt lick last week.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Reduced weekly drama if Dale went home over Fabio .... n'est pas?

It's getting really hard to watch the cuts. I was cringing last night chanting "not Carla, not Carla..." during the "dramatic pause" I was hoping that Tiffany would get cut but I was pretty sure it would be Angello due to Tom saying his dish was inedible.

I knew from the start this was going to be a hard season with so many previous favorites!

 

[palmtreegirl]

Just finished watching and now I wanna make a grilled cheese with an iron, that looked really good.

I missed Fabio this episode. I thought that Tiffany should have been sent home, wonder if her little speech at the end saved her?

I'm rooting for Richard & Carla but I also like Antonia.
