Top Chef Recap: Gag Me With A Cruise


God, please, Thumby, enough already! Besides, Scar has Stone Fox to keep her company…

27 Curtis Stone Padma Lakshmi 10 Feet Radius Top Chef 1013 34-1
and the Magical Elves to keep everyone else at least 10 feet away

Tell the truth, ‘Gasmii, doesn’t that look a little bit sad? It’s supposed to be a “Welcome Party” and they’re not even gonna mingle a little? You would think they could spend a half hour meeting and greeting the people whose cruise they are thoroughly disrupting. Anyhow, Scar is asking Stone Fox what he would do with some lettuce…

28 Curtis Stone Wants To Eat Lettuce Off Of Padma Lakshmi Top Chef 1013 35
why, I’d pickle it and eat it off of your labia

KIDDING, he doesn’t say that, but I bet he like to do something similar with her. Or maybe with Daddy Tom, I’m not certain if spending an entire month with Cat Cora turned him gay or not. In any case, back down in the kitchen, ThumbyHead is looking for a working electrical outlet, and in the process he winds up dragging his dirty blender cord through Lizzie Borden’s prep space and she goes off on him, nearly stabbing him in the process…

29 Stefan Richter Mocks Everyone Top Chef 1013 36
his apology is as sincere as the rest of him

Thumby says people underestimate Lizzie and her little accent, but he says he doesn’t fall for that because he already tried having an accent. I think he’s seriously underestimating Lizzie’s power to disembowel him if he gets in her way. He may not really give a shit about the competition, but she sure still wants to win, and I think fucking with that desire in her would be a very bad idea…

30 Lizzie Binder Is Pissed Top Chef 1013 37-1
viry bad for your hilth, ThombyHid

StacheBear is complaining about how much he hates iceberg lettuce, and whines that he never works with it because it’s a vegetable so flavorless. I wonder what magical ingredience he could use to give it some flavor? Damn, there’s gotta be something. If only he had some kind of stock or cliché idea that he could fall back on, something that would require absolutely no thought at all

31 Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon Top Chef 1013 38
bingo

Yes, he’s using bacon to make a jam to go with his lettuce, and even Stoner Sheldon’s giving him shit about using bacon for the 834th dish in a row. Then again, Stoner can’t really talk because he’s made Filipasian food 1,327 times in a row (he’s doing a Vietnamese dish now). Anyhow, StacheBear says his concoction is going to taste like a wedge salad in your mouth…

About

J-Mo is a great big fat hairy homo (and he tends to be attracted to the same) who lives with his big fat non-hairy BF in the Valley Of The Sun, a.k.a. Phoenix, Arizona. By day he is an account manager for a giant corporate megaconglomerate and his greatest joy comes from not having to speak directly to the general public any more... also, he can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never never never let you forget you're a man.  By night (when he's not recapping) he is a co-choreographer (and the Fattest Backup Dancer In Captivity™) for one of Phoenix's most talented female impersonators known as Devina Ross.  He is also still a part of the Rhythm Nation.

    A little correction, “Europeans (Outside Of, Like, France and [Italy]).”

    This season has felt really long. And none of the challenges have been exciting.

    I hope StacheBear gets kicked off next week. Does he seriously not hear the crap he spews? Just think there is one a woman out there who let him impregnate her multiple times.

    I don’t know if Lizzie can win, but I think she could sneak into st least the final 3. She really under the radar. I can’t remember most of the things she’s cooked.

    I’m actually very glad that the “second chance” chefs are all gone. I didn’t agree with them returning in the first place :-)

    Top Model or McBitchyson needs to win this thing.

    Overall this was a crappy episode – thanks to J-Mo for making it entertaining.

    Yay for the Alaska picture! (Queen-style, not state-style)

    I love that McBitchsyon called Sheldon out for only ever making Asian food. It’s about time someone hear my screams from my apartment! I love the, “I’m not!” “Bullshit!” exchange.

    When does Top Model get to come back into the competition? And is the Save a Chef real? Like does someone else also get voted back onto the show?! It’s like they are afraid they won’t get renewed so they’re just stretching it out as long as they can. I’d love to have Badma get left out in the tundra somewhere and left there. She didn’t always bother me this much, but she’s cranked it up several notches this season. I love Hughnibrow, can he be full time? He’s so blunt and honest, and I don’t feel like he plays favorites.

    Hi Chica! We missed you!

    Walking like a chef simply means you paid your dues to get your cushy job and bit the pillow . . . kidding . . .

    McBitchy seems to be the front runner in this grouping. Thumby was way overdue for departure. Stachy can kiss my assey, that is some real tired, cliched, sexist, homophobe bullshit he touted thinking he was funny. I don’t think you’re wrong about him, J-mo. How many times does he just bury the conversation in douchiness for the sake of being a douche!!!

    Would love to see an all girl finale, including the returning Top Model. Stoner and Stashy seem like two really weak choices, and are just lucky to have shined a few times on challenges they were suited too. Lizzy seems way more well rounded and experimental, as does McBitchy, so I’m crossing my fingers!!!

    Sorry I didn’t comment last week, was crazed here, but I had your recap to keep me company throughout and loved it like always!!! Mwah!!! You’re killing it with your photoshop stuff!!!

    Question for the male gender gasmi – what does it mean when a guy *coughthumbyheadcough* manages to mention on EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE. that he’s not gay?

    Does it mean he’s not or he’s the opposite of not?

    Oh and ‘His total lack of comprehendible critiques is pissing me off… ‘….I agree. He needs to just shut up and look pretty. Or go get a jar of pickled lettuce and we’ll get our freak on.

    @timgunnssister, it might mean he gets mistaken for gay a lot, so he needs to keep it perfectly clear that he is not. I know what you are implying, but I don’t think you can count on that.

    Oh, I am NOT gay by the way. I am sooooo NOT gay that the sight of my own dick absolutely disgusts me.

    Thank God they extended the episode for an extra 15 minutes, I really needed an in-depth look at how chefs get manicures. And how homophobia is alive and well in the Midwest.

    Oh, and I apologize if this has been previously discussed, but WTF is UP with the wierd-pointy-crazy-ass-curly-q mustaches this year?

    Two auditioned (Stachey being the one chosen, obvs), and now we’ve got another one on PR!? I think its PR, anyway. Is this some new trend/competition/whatthefuckever I’ve not heard about? Although I must say I have grown to like our hairy little troll on Top Chef. He amuses the hell out of me.

    “and the Magical Elves to keep everyone else at least 10 feet away”

    I think that’s the stench of old man balls.

    “Oh, I am NOT gay by the way. I am sooooo NOT gay that the sight of my own dick absolutely disgusts me”

    Awesome, crankyguy.

    I’m so not gay, I hated my penis so much that I got it changed a vagina… And then that looked weird, so I got boobs put in.

    Boy was my wife pissed. Not because of the change, but because I keep stretching out all of her clothes.

    Great recap, J-Mo!

    I’m thinking that StoneFox must have spent some time with Stoner Sheldon right before this epi was filmed. That would help explain his utter inability to form coherent sentences.

    @timgunnsister: You’ve got a good point about Stache’s gay denial. He does protest too much. If he is though, he would probably be an even lonelier person than as a straight guy. I can’t think of a single self-respecting gay guy that would appreciate his unfortunate combination of insecurity, inferiority complex, 1890s facial hair, pork product-themed T-shirts, hate for Oklahoma, and beady cartoon character eyes.

    Hey J-Mo!
    Just had to pop in here & tell you I’m reading through your ANTM recaps & LOVING them! I just watched your video from Miss Gay Phoenix and it was epic! Amazing recovery from the sound malfunction!
    Ok, off to read about the aftermath of MeeMaw throwing Homegirl to the wolves at judging!

    Aw shucks, you guys are so sweet! I bet if you put all of my recaps together in one, you’d have a Stephen King-sized book by now, LOLOLOLOL!

    And MadelineNYC, thanks so much, I’m glad you liked the video and that you’re enjoying my turn on ANTM… the sad thing is, one of my cats died right in the middle of that cycle (I literally had to stop working on an episode mid-recap at 2am to go take her to be put down) so I barely remember much about it at all… if the jokes are a little threadbare, you can chalk it up to that… ;)

    love, J-Mo :)

    Oh no! I’m so sorry! We’ll I’m past the halfway point and never noticed a drop in quality so you didn’t drop the recapping ball at all.
    My only big disagreement I have with you was that I’m team Allison/Anime-Eyes. LOL!
    I’m about to start on when they go overseas, just after poor recovering bulemic Jesus Freak got the boot from Tyra. Ah the Oprah-like sensitivity & philanthropy just oozes from her pores… No, wait, that’s bacon grease. :)

    @MadelineNYC: I doubt anyone is reading this thread anymore (except maybe poor J-Mo whom likely gets a notice or some shit about a new comment on an old recap that he thought was done/finished/gone/see ya bye, lol), but DAMN, girl…that was funny :-)

    They’re pretty hilarious! He was recapping just as Tyra was spinning further and further away from reality ( As opposed to now when she’s jumped the shark so far she actually landed on another planet. A planet where she’s a brilliant actress and the rivers are filled with BBQ sauce)

    I’m glad thumby is off the show but I am sticking to my stubborn resolve of really liking him. True I haven’t watched this season but I’m glad I still like him, unlike CJ who was one of my favorite until his fiasco here.
