    Joey gets kicked out
    Thank god, hated that dude. But seriously, Sarah M. shoulda been kicked out, useless bitch. Also, was she in the jacuzzi topless? Of all the chicks on that show to pull something like that, it had to be her ugly ass. I had such a huge crush on Lia, and was wrecked when she got the boot.

    I like Hung, but I like Tre more. Tre definitely don't want no part of the drama. Them two are the tops.

    I think Sara should have gone. It seems to me that Callichio (I have no idea if I spelled that right) did as well.
    Joey From Mutha' Fuckin' New York
    went home. And he cried, a-whole bunch.

    I also have to disagree on Hung. He acts like a whiny bitch all the time. He definitely has a superiority complex and he always has something to say when people don't like his food or disagree with him - it's never his fault.

    Also updated the OP.

    Is Tre the mohawk guy?

    Because if so then yes indeed.

    Oh no that's dale.

    My favorite three are Hung, Dale and the tall man.

    Although I watched it twice, I missed a lot of this episode. I think I kept zoning out. Oh well, glad to see JFMFNY go. I guess I need a new title/location combo now.
    I really want to see Hung go. He hasn't won and he's been in the bottom of quickfires and challenges a lot. He's like a cockroach.

    My dad demanded the right to record The Sopranos so I missed the last fifteen minutes or so. I also missed the first half hour or so because I just got back from the airport, so basically I watched fifteen minutes in the middle.

    Happy to learn that
    Joey from New York
    was eliminated although I have really no basis for judging who should have gone home this time around.

    I really like Tre.

    I think Howie needed to go, he's really fucking obnoxious.
    I mean, Joey was a retard, but Howie just seems totally unstable.

    and from the preview of next week's episode, Howie seems - surprise, surprise - like he is still being a total douchebag.

    Sarah M should have gotten the boot on that one.

    Howie has had some solid moments though, I think if he gets his shit together he'll be alright. However, he'll likely keep on flipping the fuck out and then lose it.

    Hung...I can't stand Hung. He needs to go so god damned bad. The challenge with the creating latin flavors? Kick this fucking guy out already.

    I think Tre will likely keep his cool and take it all the way. He has a very Harold quality about him. I don't think he's as good as Harold, but he reminds me of him.

    And I agree with Lostwords on this one...I was crushed to see Lia go. So cute!

    Hung was in the top once and won one quickfire. In every other episode, he's been called out for sucking in either the challenge or quickfire. Maybe in one or so he was in the middle unmentioned group. I don't get why people like him. Not only does he have a bad attitude, but he's a hack.

    Howie's been back and forth a ton, but don't forget he's won more than everyone else. He's also done well in several quickfires I believe.

    And I agree on Sarah M., she should definitely have gotten the ax this week. She (at least the editing had me believe) definitely sucked the most.

    Sara M pisses me off every time I look at her. I can't believe she's still around and Lia is not. Seriously why the fuck was Lia kicked. And why wasn't Sara kicked.

    Anyway, I like Hung. He is crazy and seems to have good knife skills, as long he's not running with them.

    Hung and Tre are still my top two.

    wait I missed the very end. Who died, Howie?

    Also, Howie didn't really start bugging me until this episode, when he just did everything possible to piss the shit out of me. Do people really dislike Hung? I like him. He acts like a professional, not a bitchy, whiny reality tv show star.

    Are you on the crack son? Hung is the biggest whiny sore loser douche I've ever seen on TV. He has talent, but if he doesn't win every challenge or heaven forbid gets criticized, he just starts flapping his bitchy flap about it. Sure, that mixologist guy was a pretentious jackhole, but Hung was so smug trying to prove the guy wrong that it just made me despise him.

    Ok, he's definitely smug, but I mean compared to Howie or Sara M or JFMFNY, he's just a dude with a superiority complex, not a whinging bitch. I haven't seen him be a sore loser a lot, but I don't know that I've seen all the episodes.

    He's more than just smug. Hung definitely bugs me. I think it's because he really doesn't understand that he's not that great. He backfires at everyone that tells him he isn't the best. It's not everyone else, Hung, it really is you. This show bugs me because it's like a chef representation of my music school drama. Actually, maybe that's why I like it so much.

    Every reality show these days is required to have at least one pompous jackass.
    Sometimes merited, usually not. I guess its "good tv" to have a hateable character?

    tneville: Yeah, these shows always have at least one that fits in the bad-guy-of-some-sort stereotype. Top Chef has the "smug assholes" like Stephen, Marcel, and Hung. Project Runway had the "hack bitches" like Wendy, Marla, and Laura.

    Well yeah, I agree. Maybe Laura was a just a bitch. One-note bitch. I think I rooted for her for a while. That season had me switching teams a lot because the people I wanted to win kept getting kicked off. Allison, Robert, kind of Kayne, and then Michael really sucked in the end. And then Jeffrey (although the last show was good) won? What the hell..

    edit: And Santino should have won season 2. Hands down. Chloe? Please bitch, enough with the 80s prom dresses.

    Michael was awesome from the beginning. I'm surprised he didn't win the first show with the coffee filter dress. He was solid up until the last two episodes, then he reverted back to the ghetto-fabulous stuff they showed in his look books from the auditions.

    I was surprised that Michael won in the recylced materials challenge. Jeffrey's outfit was great, and he didn't have to explain what everything was supposed to be for the judges to understand what he was trying to do.

    I think the judges just preferred Michael over Jeffrey most of the time. Jeffrey did a lot of more cutting edge, avant stuff while Michael played more of the sports wear classicist. And come on, look at who they're being judged by. Like Michael Kors is going to favor any out stuff over basic and traditional.

    Updated the OP with the following. This episode pissed me off so bad.

    Episode 7 - Or, the episode that really pisses me off. I disagree with this week's elimination. Bravo pulling more of their shit. Oh well. In this episode, the quickfire has the chefs making some delicious toppings to... um... cold stonerize... with Coldstone Creamery sweet cream ice cream. Dale's peach cobbler stuff looked awesome. The chefs are then told that they'll be going clubbing in Miami, until they arrive at their location. The challenge divides the contestants into two random groups. They must serve some late night food to drunken club goers in Miami. It seems like Hung actually acted like a human being in this episode. Howie acts like a hack shit fuck again. Also, let it be known to all the Hung fans that keep singing his praises - again, he was called out as one of the worst in the quickfire and the judges said his food sucked in the challenge. Although his team won, his food wasn't given any praise other than (kind of) the fricking onion rings he made.
    The horrific results:
    Dale wins the quickfire and gains immunity (okay, so this part isn't horrific). Finally, the one I'm rooting for wins. He wins big actually, as he doesn't have to participate in the challenge at all. Hopefully this doesn't hurt him in the future. For some reason, I feel like something bad may come of it. The winning team consists of Sara M., Hung, Brian, and Tre. Tre is declared the winner for his cheesy grits and shrimp. The losing team is the other Sarah, Casey, Howie, and CJ. It was obvious from the get go that this team was not going to work. Sarah N. hates Howie and the whole dressing up for nothing really ruined her night, Casey hates Howie, Howie is a hack, CJ just kind of.. does whatever. They call Casey out for being clueless the whole challenge, then CJ for not rallying his team as he seemed to take the leadership position. Sarah is obviously wrecked by this whole challenge, yet didn't seem to suck too bad. She was a bit slow, but it seems no one helped her out at all. Howie spouts a bunch of stupid bull shit about nothing, makes bad food, acts like a dumb shit, and gets to fucking stay. I wanted him gone so bad. But, making good television wins over everything else. Sarah is sent home, much to my chagrin.

    I also want to say, after episode 7 and several events the past two seasons, that it pisses me off that they say "But, on Top Chef, it's always about the food" on the episode summary. Come on, do they really think we're that stupid. It should say "it's always about who's a bigger dramatic bitch."

    They pick shitty cooks and they get shitty stuff. It's not about skill anymore, which is why "Top Chef" doesn't produce actually successful winners, unlike "The Apprentice" or "American Idol" actually comes up with talent.

    I think Hung's ice cream had more mix-ins than actual ice cream. Not the biggest loss, as the Sweet Cream flavor is only good for blending together too many items. I'm starting to question if he is trying to lose quickfires on purpose, but there is no logical reason for that at all.

    CJ said something interesting when he said it was Howie who was the center of all the controversy in the house. I wonder if he is the same dickhead in the loft that he is in the kitchen :/

    I don't believe that these people are actually trained chefs, and if they are, they pick only the ones with emotional problems big enough to obscure any kind of cooking skill they have when they aren't crazy.

    Also, the best one is from last week's episode, where the whole blog is basically spent dissing guest judge Rocco. Wish he could have written more stuff from past weeks, but he's just filling in for Tom.
