So, I worked at Coldstone for a long, hellish year.

These guys suck... Trust me, working slow shifts we have nothing to do BUT sit around and invent new creations (if our bosses had cameras and knew how much ice cream we wasted... well, i would've been fired a lot earlier).

None of these looked good except the peach cobbler and the berries... and oh! guess what? those are both already creations. dumb asses.

Nice recap Flipit, but could you please lay off the nicknames a little? It is very distracting having to keep remembering two names for nearly everyone on the show. I really just don't want to think that hard.

with this episode CJ has offically become the star of my heart for calling troll patch- MARKELEY (sp?)

and in the previous episode he called hung a douche.

Troll Patch's last name really is Malarkey.
Great recap as always!

I'm sure that there are plenty of sweaty chefs in real life, but I am perfectly happy to have them remain unseen behind the kitchen doors. Out of sight, out of mind. But please, for the love of all that is holy, get Howie off my TV. Gads, it is disgusting to see the sweat dripping off him as he chops and cooks. RETCH!

Hillarious recap, as usual.

And I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one disgusted by Howie's use and pronunciation of the word "macerated".

Did anyone else think that Padma's sort-of defense of Casey and Saran's complaint about cooking in low cut shirts was hilarious? I was dying.

Great recap, Flipit!

I loved that Casey looked at Padma like it was HER fault that they were called there to cook rather than party. Like Padma thinks this shit up!

Also, do you think that the guest judge took one look at chefs and thought, "Hmmmm. Who do I want to go on a date with? I think the cute ones might be straight and there's no way I'm spending an evening with the sweaty one. I choose.....DALE!" ?

hahah you guys. thnx! that guest judge was kinda cruising. poor thing. he must thought he was signing up for a different show.

and rya, you know i will do anything for you. i will try to be better about putting real names up some of the time, but i kinda forgot a lot of em.

and foo foo was ridonkulous being so mad. she wasn't even showing any clevage!! pull the stick out your ass, foo!

Awww, I did feel a little bad for the misled chefs in this one---all pysched up for a night on the town, only to be hit in the face with a challenge. Suckas! Oh, the pain in their little faces! The deception was brutal, I think Foo Foo & Saran even shed a few tears. I know I would've been pissed too, but you know, it's a reality show, move on. Saran never recovered, her spirit was visibly missing from this challenge. Howie is a tactless brash bully but Saran sort of proved his point by never recovering & pouting about being called a baby. & then crying as if to prove his point!

I enjoyed the recap, and to be honest, I've forgotten some of these guys' real names (Troll Patch is Brian? All i see is a Troll Patch!)

Well, the old "you're going to party - no you're not" switcheroo is common on reality shows, but I do think the girls had a legitimate complaint about having to cook all night in stilettos and low-cut tops. Wasn't there a single person on the production side who thought that might be just the teensiest bit unfair? And I totally agree, I can't stand to watch Howie sweat into the food. SO GROSS!!!! He has got to go.

You're the best part of my Mondays, Flipit!! Hilarious!

I guess I felt bad that the contestants didn't get the night off, but there is no way in Hades they should have been surprised. There is no relaxing on Top Chef! Ever!

I have seriously had it with Howie. Last year, Daddy Tom made the comment that "chef" translates to "chief", and therefore, "leader". I don't think Howie commands anyone's respect, and as such, he's a terrible leader. That and the sweat thing just...ugh. Stupid Howie.

Man, that was such a cruel thing to do to them. I would have had exactly the same dark, super-pissed off look that Bunny had on her face.

"time for a new scar..." --LOL!

And her flavour profile on the ice-cream SOUP challenge was way off. Yeah, Milli shuddered. With revulsion.

I don't have a problem with people macerating berries (it generally means to soak and soften them in a liqueur or juice) but what I wanted to know was what they were macerated IN. (Try sliced or quartered strawberries - maybe a few blueberries too - macerated in some orange juice and a splash of cointreau, left for 1 hr at room temp then served as is. Impressive.)

Dumb ass challenge. Those drunken fools were hardly reliable critics.

Why anyone would serve a non-authentic cuban sandwich to Floridians defies explanation.

Flipit, I LOVE your nicknames -- they always make me laugh out loud.

CJ is a dreamboat and a much-needed voice of reason, but can ole one nut cook???? He's yet to show much promise. Still, I wouldn't kick'em outta bed...or my kitchen.

The final three is not looking good. Overall, these people just don't measure up to Seasons One and Two.
