I thought it was interesting that Tom Colicchio said that it was about the food and not about one's behavior in the kitchen--since that's the #1 reason Tiffani didn't win last season--they said that being Top Chef was the whole package--you cook good food and people like to work with you and you can manage people. I wonder why he did a complete 180 on that. Maybe Tiffani threw a stink that the competition should've been about food or something.

I do agree that I would've loved Sam to be in the finale or even Elia over Marchel--but now I'm rooting for Ilan even harder.

cosign.

Did you see the Iron Chef where the gastronomy types won? They did some cool funky things! Maybe I'm just too much of a nerd. You and I need to make some sort of bet about the winner of TC.

I was really suprised they kept Ilan after mentioning over and over the itching in the back of the throat thing from the poi. I was really hoping for Sam to be in the finals. Marcel seems to be very conceited and has from the very beginning. His little behaviors are what annoys me, like throwing his roomies stuff on the floor during the Thanksgiving challenge and taking credit for everything during team wins and blaming everyone else during team losses.

I'm really suprised that so many people are pro-Marcel. I read a magazine article and it was all about how Marcel was amazing and how the rest of the chefs were horrible people. I don't get it.

See, my take on the Thanksgiving thing was that the stuff was in the kitchen, where they were cooking. If you're having a challenge in the kitchen, you have to move stuff. Sam kinda instigated that by saying Frank's toothbrush was thrown on the floor, but the camera shot shows it in the toiletry bag... Seriously though, would you threaten to pound the kid's face in for it?

We only see what the producers and editors want us to see. There has to be a lot more to make everyone else hate Marcel as much as they do. No one generates that kind of animosity for no reason. I think there's a lot we didn't see.

Especially since Elia always stood up for him in the beginning and now even she had some not so nice things to say. I don't know, he just comes off as cocky and arrogant in everything he says, maybe it's his tone I don't know.

And the whole "I'll beat your face in" thing, Frank was really scary in my opinion. That I really didn't get but I still think he should have asked them to move their stuff.
