this season seems to be pretty good so far...

 

[rpmcmurphy]

bets on leah, stephan, and fabio top three....possibly josea or the whiney lesbian.

top "hates" in order
The whiney lesbian
the trucker hat girl.
the scary ostritch
the jersey girl....i want to like her because she pulls out the basics all the time (the turkey, the lamb), but....

 

[chefhow]

Honestly, I am having a hard time getting into this season. The players dont seem to have the charisma of the past two seasons. They all seem fairly ordinary to me personally.

 

[rpmcmurphy]

yeah ,but you usually don't see that right off the bat yet.....give it a few episodes.

I don't know their names yet, it takes me a while. Everyone thinks the Finnish guy (stephan?) is cocky but he's just competitive. The Fabio Italian guy is the real cocky one, I don't find him charming at all and he always has something bad to say about anyone that criticizes his food. I like the whiny lesbian though she's cocky too. Definitely do not like the man crazy flirty girl, don't find anything interesting about the guy she flirts with. I want to not like the guy from Miami but he's too pretty to dislike, I also like the Jersey girl, I'm rooting for her. I was so happy to see NY guy get the ax last night, his accent and attitude were beyond annoying.

My favorite season was Season 2, I think they were extremely talented chefs and were definitely the craziest.

 

[iconoclast]

i agree with you... hopefully fabio takes it.

i can live with out seeing marcelle again... his hair and personality annoyed me... however the kid could cook.

 

[docsmith]

Best picture ever I've seen of her but.....

Thats a man baby!

 

[shipscook]

Well Doc Hmmmmmm,
I just find these people not that skilled and a bit of pressure throws them off?
For the shower lunch, I heard several times "45 people" ??? I serve 30, three meals a day. And yes, they aren't party meals, but two courses, three if there is a special diet person, two starches, two veggies, a salad bar, and one or two desserts. Can't say it's easy, but love my job. There are moment of panic--I have about 15 regular soups, but some mornings????
I would probaby fold under some of these challenges, but seems like some of these guys shouldn't be there.
I like the cute dude from Florida, the tall funny lady, the NJ gal is ok? The other dark haired girl seems to have some skills. The blonde who keps ending up in the top three needs to relax? The other dudes are just obnoxious.
Merry Christmas,
Nan

lol...lol...lol

 

[shroomgirl]

saw the Foo Fighter's thanksgiving last night on HULU....ouch, reemed out on television....and people sign up for this?!!!:crazy:

They sure get in some interesting guest appearances....Opra's personal chef, Greg Anchatz, etc.....people I'd not expect to see on a cooking show.

 

[iconoclast]

the product placements in this season are unreal... but i guess its expected, they need funding from somewhere...

 

[rpmcmurphy]

I think they are #1 for product placement in TV...i read that somewhere.

I don't mind....WE know that swanson stock is ...uh....well....:lol:

 

[iconoclast]

lol. exactly. in a pinch or if you dont have the time to make your own i prefer the college inn (low sodium low fat) broth, or kitchen basics. i never liked the swanson one.

 

[dreed3]

I COULDNT AGREE MORE! I said the exact thing to my wife on the first episode!! HAHAHA

 

[dreed3]

Fabio is so cool though. Yeah maybe a little arrogent, not nearly as much as Stephan though.

Leah is tough too.

LEAST FAV:

I forget her name...ever see that sitcom, Girlfriends? I the lady who is the caterer from NJ who looks like "Joan"(Diana Ross's Daughter) on speed has to go! Oh man, everytime I see her...scares me!

And the blond girl that is really a man...whats with those bangs? Please join the 21st century!

 

[rpmcmurphy]

to me the show isn't about arrogance.......it's about cooking, and stephan and fabio seem like they could cook .

She-man is out next 1or2 episodes.

 

[dreed3]

Oh, I agree totally. Fabio can cook his butt off! He's my pick to win

 

[iconoclast]

Gene sucks... his attitude is sh!t, his food doesnt look that great... idk how hes still there...

 

[docsmith]

Some of them look so bad, I think I as a home cook could keep up with them. I think they are selected for drama potential as much as anything.

As the last season showed, the best chef won't always win.

 

[iconoclast]

i agree completely... some of these contestants have mass appeal or are easily marketable to certain audiences... so they put them on to draw an audience then slowly trim the fat.
