Posted: 5/8/08 at 4:21amI can't wait to see Dale go. He's a whiny little bitch-queen and if he wins I'll punch a locker and barely make a dent in it. Honestly, I think they had teamsters beat it up a bit more before they took that close up of the locker.

Someone needs to slap Dale upside the head. OMG, slamming a locker because you lost a little contest at the beginning. Big deal, the winning team's "prize" wasn't all that earth shattering.
A lot has to be said when the majority of the people involved don't particularly care for you. Such a shame as he seems to be a talented chef.
Though I agree that Nikki deserved to go. She took charge of the menu at the beginning and then dropped the ball by kind of denying that fact.

Dale is a weenie and apparenlty has a little messiah complex.
It was obvious that Nikki was going. Very tough challenge.
I think Richard is the front runner.

Posted: 5/8/08 at 11:20amA little (as in Messiah complex)??!!

I loved how the lez said, "Dale punched a locker, and then had to change his diaper!" I'm glad she shut up at the end and let Dale and the scruffy guy tear at each other.

Posted: 5/8/08 at 11:53amThe winner of each season isn't always the best chef, though it really should be. Each winner has passed the buck to someone else who didn't deserve to go yet, and Dale is no exception. Should he win, it will only prove further that it's Chef Survivor.

I'm thinking a Richard/Stephanie/Antonia/Andrew final four.
Nikki was a predictable elimination because a) Antonia's early interview re: four female chefs still in and b) Nikki knows Italian but didn't want the leadership role.
But I still dream of Nikki's lasagna in the first elimination of the season. Yum.

Really, Harold, Ilan and Hung were not the best? Harold definitely was the best in season one. Ilan and Hung were both top of the class, with competition, in their seasons.

How cute was Richard giving his prize to Stephanie, and then her wanting to split it with him? They are both my favorites. I'm also digging Antonia lately.
Thank god Lisa covered up her greasy hair.
I'm still not a Spike or Andrew fan.
Nikki had a chance to step up and take charge. She got stuck with a crappy team.
I used to like Dale. He's talented but full of drama. I feel he'll be around a while.
Top 4: Richard, Dale, Steph, Antonia.

Posted: 5/8/08 at 3:53pmHung was certainly the best - very annoying, but excellent in technique and creativity. I missed season one. I though Ilan was great also. Was Marcel in the finals?

The Bride's cake last night was amazing looking, especially for something make off the cuff.
I like Stephanie - and I thought it was great of Richard to send her the prize, and then for her to share it with him.
Andrew needs to be sedated - he seemed like the weakest link on that foursome.
He, Spike and Dale really bother me. Spike is a cocky SOB...

Posted: 5/8/08 at 4:14pmI think Andrew is kinda hot, but is probably crappy in bed...like a bunny I imagine.

Posted: 5/8/08 at 5:02pmI found it slightly hysterical when he was seven kinds of excited for staying up all night cooking. Cause the booger sugar can do that for a guy.

I always get Andrew and Spike confused. Neither really makes an impression on me. Dale is an egomaniac and Lisa is nothing but a bitter pill. I can't wait until they're both gone. They are both such negative bitches. If I were the judges, I would have cut Dale in a heartbeat. Who cares if you work on the most dishes of the night if they all suck? One fantastic dish beats ten crappy dishes any day (at least, that is what we have learned from previous seasons). And Richard just bothers me. He does seem to be the obvious front-runner and is innovative, creative and has rarely disappointed the judges. But he has quite a large ego as well, which seems to be getting larger. Did you see his reaction regarding the creamed spinach last night? (for some reason, that seems to be a really humorous question to me) He acted like someone told him that his wife is actually made entirely of paper clips. I just wanted to tell him to suck it up because he's not that perfect. And cut your stupid hair.
With Andrew's sexual references and the number of bleeps casually being tossed out in every interview, I'm afraid HBO will have to pick up the show next season. I really don't care about foul language so much, but it really came across as if they were performing. Cussing on TV really isn't that impressive any more.

Posted: 5/9/08 at 2:17pmI couldnt tell the difference between the lesbian with the mohawk or the straight guy with the mohawk. It only became clearer when she was kicked off.

Nikki's been sort of coasting in the middle all season. It was time...
I like Richard and Stephanie the best. Although in a showdown between those two, Richard may have the upper hand since Stephanie's nerves seem to get her sometimes.

Posted: 5/13/08 at 6:47pmLePetiteFromage- Harold was recently featured on Oprh for being ranked as having one of the best sandwhiches in the nation according to GQ magazine i think. If i remember correctly it was for a chicken parm. sandwhich.

Posted: 5/14/08 at 3:17pmSeason one was definitely the best. Thank God Katie Joel is gone, though.
