Welcome to the 10th Circle of Hell
Last week Lorena the Horena won- unbelievably, in my opinion and my favorite little pocket chef was sent packing.
Good vs Evil
I am still mourning the loss of Takashi but here we are, nearing the end, at episode 8. We have whittled the herd down from 12 to 4: Chris and Patricia and Kerry and Lorena. I’m grouping them this way as I view them as Good vs. Evil, at this point. Kerry may be a victim of being paired with Lorena the Horena, but at this point the jury is still out on this guy. He’s made a few dick moves lately, in my opinion.
Bravo had a typo
Curtis Stone is looking delicious as usual. I’d like to see a QF where the Chefs just garnish Curtis and see who can make him look the tastiest. That might be a whole other show for Skinemax. Patricia is trying to keep her eyes on the BIG prize…which makes me think that she’s going home this week. Bravo pulls this crap all the time. Now I’m DREADING this episode and my certainty that Lorena will still be around next week.
You bitches are never getting rid of me. I’m like Herpes…
I really don’t like to interject my personal point of view on who I think should win, but Lorena just chaps my keister.
Curtis announces the Quick Fire Challenge- the remaining Chefs will work in teams of 2, but each must create their own dish. The rub on this is, the kitchen is separated by a line- on one side is the pantry and on the other side is “the hot line” so stoves, etc. Each Chef must stay on their side. So the Chef on the hot line can’t get any ingredients or pans, bowls, etc. And the Pantry Chef can’t do any cooking. They can only fetch and prep. So each must rely on their partner to make their dish. They will have 45 minutes and the winning team gets $5K to split for their respective charities.
Divided we fall
And make is snappy, I don’t want to be late for my sponge bath
The guest Judge for this Challenge is Johnny Avello, a famous book maker for The Wynn, the only book maker offering spreads on entertainment odds and has even given odds on Top Chef. Is it my imagination or are judge pickin’ getting slim? Ok, a famous book maker- they are in Vegas, but it is unclear whether this guy knows a lobster from a hot dog.
Is there going to be a rumble?

I swear all these shows are rigged.
Was sorry to see Patricia and her mole go. Sad horns.
Since Patricia is gone I am through all my support and energy to Chris. I know him to be a great chef.
wow should have checked my spelling going to throw all my support for the above
Team Chris!!!
I was Team Chris from the start, but by the second episode it was Team Chris/Patricia/Takashi, so I’m gutted that the Black Hole of Caracas has been responsible for two of them leaving. She’s even making me rethink my own love of cilantro because, gurr, find a new fresh herb. It’s not that great.
But I will defend Kerry’s seemingly dick move in the QF. They could have had better communication and he was kind of a jerk in running her around, but what failed her dish was the rice not the salmon and she admitted that she was very particular in the way she wanted the rice prepared. Why would you choose something you’re very particular about if you can’t control the situation? Yes, Kerry focused on perfecting his dish…and his dish won. Would they have won with her Marie Callendar’s salmon dish…with Cilantro? Doubtful, so they probably won specifically because Kerry said “Screw you and your rice, Lorena. I’m focusing on my shrimp and pasta.”
I was so pissed off that Lorena didn’t go home and I’m really hoping we’re not being set up for a Lorena win. I’m definitely rooting for Chris!
I predict Lorena will be the winner because during final commercial break the same Taco-Bell-Lorena-Ad ran in succession…no other chef really had a chance…why have I so needlessly wasted my precious time on this….OH I Know…Hot Host Curtis!
Well, I have to disagree with everyone here. I was glad to see Patricia go; what a snob she was. So what if Lorena cooks only Latin, that’s her specialty. Does that mean Patricia’s better than a top French chef, someone like Guy Savoy, because she has more “worldly experience”? Give me a break. Patricia seemed to enjoy demeaning Lorena, which besides it being mean, it may have been sexist as well.
Not that Lorena’s my favorit – Chris is. But that’s based on his skill. And he seems nice enough. Patricia needed to go home.
If Lorena wins then the show is definately rigged. She should never have won last week. This show has disappointed me.
@zerocool – I have to disagree with Patricia being a “snob” overall – was she a snob to Lorena? Yes, but I think Lorena is a “one trick Monkey” (to quote PR). HOWEVER, I think overall, Patricia has shown that she respects other chefs, even the ones with Jerk Moves (I’m looking at YOU – Kerry). I think we heard Patricia consistently praising other chefs (not just Taskashi and Chris and she even praised Lorena in the last episode).
Lorena, on the other hand, has consistently been derogatory about every other chef (with the exception, occasionally, of Art) and only has praise for herself. That to me is much more snobbish.
Of course, we KNOW the producers (even in a “Masters” show), ask the questions that they know will get the most drama. And, personally, the Taco Bell commercials aren’t helping Lorena in my eyes, either…
Not understanding the Lorena hate. I’m not a fan of that Oaf Kerry. Liked Patricia, but agree with ZeroCool that she came off as a snob toward the middle/end of the season. Too bad.
Also, I find the critic with the balding hair and glasses to be enormously irritating.
Loved your recap – I am with you – Team Chris! I respect his culinary viewpoint about the total use of an animal, his boyish love of food, his nerdy glasses and nice pecs!
I love terrines and pates, so it would be treat to have something like that at my picnic.
I am sorry to see Patricia go, but I understand the reason why. The story she had with the picnic was good, but the execution was flawed. But I will miss the big sister/little brother vibe with Chris.
Kerry and Lorena – meh… I am not invested in them enough to hate, but not feeling them for the title.
Hey, anyone looking forward to the tightly wound douchtastic “Life after Top Chef”?
I don’t know, Lorena had two crap dishes in the same show. Do you think Bravo bought Taco Bell? Sort of how Arsenio won Celebrity apprentice right before his show started? Suspicious!! Waving White Flags comment was HYSTERICAL!!! I also wouldn’t want to wear nice white clothes and carry chairs around. Guess I don’t get the concept, being American!
