They put out the casting call for chefs last month. I'm wondering if they are having a hard time getting real chefs to fill out a season? I've wondered about this. The same faces keep popping up over and over. Rather than these teen/grandma/lunch lady shows I'd rather see something along the line of Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. This dessert stuff got old years ago. There are enough shows specializing in pastry. I'm a savory person myself and I tend to read my email during round 3. I watched this ep under duress. I like to watch professional chefs, even if they're jerks. C'mon - you know you love watching candidates for the obnoxious bus even more than you enjoy rooting for a nice guy. Yeah - there are exceptions - maybe two.

I'm late to the party, but may I add Rebecca from Beehive in Boston. She was so snotty and then won. But when she returned for an encore they kicked her to the curb, so my schadenfreude was satisfied.

I was on a very nice catered cruise on the St. Lawrence and they brought out an entree of salmon with raspberry remoulade. Smack on the top was an eyelash! I didn't want to embarrass our hosts, so a friend & I managed to scoop the thing into a napkin & hide it under the table. I hate blood, sweat & hair in food. That said, the most hygienic was Alicia(?), the blonde who was eliminated second. I didn't like her know-it-all attitude, but she seemed gracious in defeat. When is Top Chef coming back?

The girl who won, her hair was driving me crazy. I kept waiting for Santos to get a big long one on his plate, since he always gets served the booby prize. When I saw the girl putting raw okra on a plate, saying how it would be a nice crunchy element, I almost gagged. Between the hair flipper and the first guy eliminated (he had his nails chewed to the quick and they looked bloody - plus he'd wipe the sweat off his face and put his hands right back into the food), I wouldn't have eaten any of their dishes.

I knew I could log on here & find like-minded individuals who were glad to see the Spice Girls get kicked to the curb. Dang, did they ever annoy with their snotty comments & overpriced food. Now if they'll just dump the waffle boys with the thousand-yard stares I will be a happy camper.

I hate kids/ teens on cooking competitions, or cooking shows in general. I will not be watching this one. I agree. They come across as self-important little wannabes. I don't watch Masterchef Jr. & I don't want to watch this, but it came on my cable by default. Yuk.
