Stoner actually tries to convince us that he really believed ThumbyHead was the “front-runner” in the competition, so we now know for sure that he’s been completely high this entire time. Anyhow, McBitchyson mentions she wishes she could call her hubby and tell him how things are going, which unfortunately leads us right into the manufactured non-drama of StacheBear And His Pregnant Wife (Part 1 of 427). Stachey whines that he wishes he could call his wife and tell her to try not to have their baby…

all I’m saying is, bitch better keep her legs closed

I know we are going to be forced to watch this bullshit a whole bunch more, so I’m just going to say this once and be done with it: you cannot choose to go on a reality show to gain TV fame and win money and then turn around and expect sympathy and admiration because you are now missing the birth of your fourth kid, that’s just asinine and stupid. StacheBear is not in the military (or the space program), he has not been stationed overseas due to deployment, there is literally nothing stopping him from leaving to go be by his wife’s side, other than the fact that he has magically lucked (and sneered and baconed and homophobed) his way into the almost-Finale of one of the worst seasons of Top Chef ever, so there’s no way he’d give it up now. I bet his wife could be spewing out octuplets and he’d still stick right where he is on that couch like a wad of surly chewing gum. Wearing a silly John L. Sullivan mustache.

Oh well, that’s Stachey’s storyline, and he’s gonna milk it for all he can, and then he’ll torture us with a picture of a squishy newborn at the end of it. Meanwhile, the boat has finally docked in Juneau, Alaska…

thank God they got rid of that other P-named governor

The chefs all seem pretty happy to be back on dry land again…

Stoner’s telling us he needs to throw on a few extra underwears to keep his “package” nice and warm, which only means…

It appears as if the chefs walk right off the ship and straight over to the their next destination, which happens to be Tracy’s King Crab Shack. You know, in the Minicap I complained about their sign being all sexist… but that was before I found out that they had recently changed it from the old name…

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.

    fucking make a dish that describes yourself in a haiku about what makes things better involving a food item AND DO IT IN SHIRT FORM

    you know this will be the finale

    of top chef tumblr people who like the show enough to pretend to be better than it but still watch it every weak and then choose judges (to judge fucking pictures like… rational human beings of this site and the commenters that decided that neither commenters or commentors would appear correctly on spell check) out of the two followers (PROBABLY WHITE MALES TO EMPHASIZE THE PLIGHT OF WOMEN WHO HAVE TUMBLRS) they get that probably want to make fun of it but are drunk and forgot to. I am the drunk and didn’t forget to.

    YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER?
    BACON AND CORNBREAD AND WAR

    YOU MIX THE THREE TOGETHER AND YOU GET A FUCKING T-SHIRT THAT NO ONE EVER SHOULD EVER BE FUCKING WEARING. FUCK WHO THE UFCK WEARS T SHIRTS ON PURPOSE. IF I WAS A CELEBRITY AND GOT CAUGHT WEARING A T-SHIRT, LITTLE ALONE ADVOCATING THE PLIGHT OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT WAR HAS TO DO WITH FUCKING CORNBREAD

    I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT I’D DO BECAUSE I WOULDN’T BE A FUCKING RETARD WEARING A HOT TOPIC T SHIRT IN THE YEAR 2013. AND IT WOULDN’T BE ABOUT FUCKING BACON BECAUSE IT’S NOT 2010.

    NEXT WEEK ON TOP SHIT:

    SOMEONE PROBABLY DOESN’T QUITE WIN YET LOL. BUT IT’S YOUR FAULT, NOT MINE I CIRCUMVENTED THE CAPTCHA USING MAGIC*

    *I had to watch two ads to get it right BECAUSE I THOUGHT FUCKING CAPS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CRUISE CONTROL

    Still reading, but the quickfire judge looks like the lovechild of LaGassy and StacheBear!

    Captcha is “love me”, because you know LaGassy hit and quit it and Stachey just can’t let go.

    I will miss Lizzie. And the recaps of her accent are spot on hilarious!! I find myself reading your version outloud lol!! And I literally laughed outloud at “looking like an LL Bean catalog”. Perfection!! I can’t decide who I want to win. I don’t feel emotionally invested in anyone this season.

    This season is boring. the. shit. out of me. I didn’t have access to Bravo during the 7th season, so I’ll have to take your word that this season is far worse. And really, the downward spiral began when Kristen was eliminated because she was one of the few contestants who proved to be really talented. It’s like we got 3 or 4 really great chefs and 20 mediocre fillers. But with Kristen gone, you can really see just how average everyone else is in comparison: I totally ignored how Sheldon used Asian food as a crutch, but now it’s annoying the hell out of me. This has been a rough ass season, but the recaps make it so much better. Now I have a lovely daydream where LaShawn Beyond rises from obscurity to snatch Josh’s bacon, exclaiming “THIS IS NOT RUPAULS BEST BACON RACE, BITCH.”

    And that, my dears, is what I like to call hope.

    Oh J-Mo, these recaps are the only thing making this season bearable. For fucks sake, Stach needs to stop with the bacon. STOP. Loved the Blazing Saddles refernce; made me snort laugh! Top Model for the win!

    “And really, the downward spiral began when Kristen was eliminated…”

    Actually, the downward spiral began when they said “Welcome to Top Chef Seattle. Surprise! Here are our 3 returning chefs.”

    And, yeah, Snidley Dumbass is actually making me hate bacon. Which is just sad.

    Every time I read the title – Suffering Succotash goes in my head. And now I cannot remember which cartoon character said it. Aggravating! I’m at the point where I don’t want any of these three winning – I have my fingers crossed that top model makes it back and takes the whole thing!

    Okay, so I always say I hate Florida (the only damn place I’ve ever lived), but the freak-storm in the Northeast and J-Mo’s first paragraph are actually giving me pause…the worst day of said storm was a de-fucking-lightful sunny and cloudless 80 degrees here, so…not so bad?

    I think I finally learned a valuable lesson! Although I STILL desperately want to go sledding and skiing and snowmobiling and…you get the point. Back to reading.

    I totes forgot until I saw the “carnage” photo how much I miss Deadliest Catch! I’m guessing they’re filming the opilio season now? Wrap it up, people, and get to editing. I need my fix, especially since TC is ending soon and J-Mo goes with it. Wah!!!

    Late to the party again, but I have to comment on this:

    you wanna go with me to get a manicure and then roll around naked in some bacon?

    HAHAHAHAHA!!! He has been away from the wife for a long time!

    Can they just crown Kristen? At this point it’s just becoming painful. Not only is she clearly the best, but she’s the most gracious. And I have to agree with Jimbob, the season took a massive runny shit when they brought the 3 returning chefs back.

    J-mo, those are the sweetest little kitties!!! I really think Sheldon should have gone, he seemed to have more egregious mistakes than Lizzie did, but heck, this show is dismissive of women, otherwise, how are the average talents of Stachy and Stoner in the final group!

    I’m still a little confused as to how the finale will play out with LCK and a voted in person. For the vote in, is it week to week, winner take all, and then they restart . . . I can’t see how Uni has the most votes at anything other than “most likely to be an entitled douche”!

    I was really hoping for an all female finale . . . sigh . . .
