Top Chef Season Six

[rpmdfw]

Okay, so who else is watching this season?

It's kind of too early for me to form any real opinions.

Other than I pretty much LOATHE Michael Isabella already. What a sexist tool!

I also have to say I think Ash (the gay guy) is kinda cute, and the brothers are kinda hot!

What's everyone else thinking after Episode one?

 

[I<3EvilQueen]

I like the brothers and Mattie the french guy.

I already can't STAND Michael Isabella either. You pegged him right as a total Tool. The gay guy I think is adorable. Quite a lot of talent on this years show it looks like.

My initial thoughts: Micheal Isabella is a j*rk, so hopefully he gets his just desserts; there are a lot of people that I can't understand (i.e. thick accents, mumbled speaking), Eve seems to be not very good, Puck was super funny as a judge, and I hope they have Ted Allen on this year--I love that guy.

I already like the little twists that they are going to throw in because they are in Vegas.

I do not like the brothers. I can't really pinpoint why, yet.

micheal is a tool..you pegged him. eve has got to go. it doesnt look like she knows what she is doing. the one brother, the older one, he seems okay but his younger brother doesnt impress me much.
i loved it when puck threw the doughnuts across the room...that in itself was pricless. the other ones i liked was the jennifer, jesse and kevin.

Ther always has to be one to bug you, it makes the show more interesting!
So it would be Michaels turn. Other than that no real opinions yet.

 

[Traveliz]

I didn't realize it had even started - ack - I need to find it and DVR it.

Glad I saw this thread!

Thanks

Thank heavens for Tivo. I'm in, but haven't watched the last episode yet. I'm so far behind on my TV shows that it's getting to the point where I may have to cut a few shows out of my "season pass" list so I have a chance to catch up.

Or maybe I should just take a sick day to catch up....

Another Michael hater checking in...

So who watched last night?

I can't say I'm surprised to see Eve go home. I was surprised she stayed last week.

Very interesting to see Mike V. win the quick fire challenge, and Brian V. win the elimination challenge. And the top four dishes did inded look fantastic!

Michael Isabella does nothing to change my impression of him. His whole "I make up names for people" thing was beyond annoying". The fact that you can't be bothered to learn and remember a colleague's name speaks volume to how big of a tool he really is.

And Ashley. OMG! No one is a bigger marriage proponent than I am. (Hello! Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding!) But c'mon. I understand that it was a great place to make a point about marriage equality, but really. Did she have to take is SO personally that other people get to be happy? So brava to her for speaking up on the issue. But there are better ways to bring the issue up and not appear to be bitter and anti-straight people. I thought Preeti was much more realistic about it. And funny that Ash wasn't shown discussing it at all. He was to busy having been delegated the flowers because he was the gay guy.

What did everyone else think?

 

[I<3EvilQueen]

I think the V brothers should be melded into one guy.

I like Brian's look better, but Michael's personality.

What did everyone else think?

We watched. Our schedule and life revolves around our Bravo programming.

First off, glad that Eve went home. Never have seen someone so clueless and just all around bad chef in my life. How did she even make it onto the show?

Secondly, Michael I. proves to be more of a D-Bag every single show. I was happy to see them not like his dish at all. Can't wait for him to be booted off.

Thirdly, not sure why I'm numbering these. You hit the nail on the head about Ashley. Good for her for standing up and like you said, we're a big proponet for marriage equality, but come on. I was waiting for her to go off on the judges or something for separating them into men vs women first off (which she hated), and of course the whole elimination challenge being offensive to her. She wouldn't let it go. I like Preeti and her response to how Ashley was reacting.

Fourthly, because I started numbering and should continue, they aren't showing enough of the only Gay Boy on the show. Although I thought it was funny when one of the brothers told him he needed to take care of the flowers because he was gay.

So far this year I've decided..
I would definitely bang Tom Colicchio.

And he wouldn't even have to make me dinner first!

It took you this entire time to figure that out? I added him to my top 5 list the first season.

Have you heard about his new restaurant he just opened in New York City? Tom Tuesday Diner. He actually is cooking every meal. Only 32 seats in the restaurant. Menu changes monthly due to whatever is in season. Many items designed on the fly. And get this, it's only open every other Tuesday. Twice a month. $150-250 a person.
