Bobblehead asks why he was after Turtle even though she's lesbionic. Scar tries to make it better by saying "it's a chef crush." Stefan waves her off and says he likes Turtle's rack. Scar suggests she take it as a compliment. Of course, she would.
Old man traps.
Turtle says there's not enough tequila in the world to have sex with Stefan. LOL. Were there any funny nicknames this year? Patrick was Pocket Chef and Hoser named HoneyBear Big Gay Rich, because he's Hoser. Prettyish is Don Sorbet Johnson, Hoser is Old Testament, Danny is Gummi Bear, Scari is Cougar and Leah is Ho Fo Sho. LOL. No wonder none of those made the show. Ho Fo Sho is pretty good, though. Now questions about Gail's wedding. Who married her ass? Did her wedding dress fit? Did she make it out of a tablecloth? She just says she's happy. YAWN.
Rad says she didn't want to be known for Indian food but that's all she cooked. Why? She claims that she never made traditional Indian food. Why does she look like she died a week ago? No answer. Why is Turtle such a pouty whiner? Montage of her being a whiner and getting mad when Ariane beat her. LOL. I love Turtle. All she does is whine and complain and it's hilarious. I wish they showed more of that. Tom sticks up for her and says chefs are all complainers. When asked if Jaimie was a big complainer, Danny and Beaker raise their hands. Beaker says it's just cuz she's out of her element. Why am I writing this down?
Oh here's something good. Prettyish is called out for calling Tom's food boring in an interview and he claims he was misquoted. BULLSHIT you were! He went on quite a bit about it. He back peddles and kisses ass as much as possible and Tom lets it go. Prettyish doesn't deny, however, that he complained about being used as a sex symbol and sticks with that. He says that he always changed in the closet and maybe should have shut the door. God no, girl, that's the only thing that kept you on this show. How come there are so many bald men? Let's have a montage of baldness! Tom says "bald is the new fauxhawk". HA. So little happened this season that the producers Photoshopped hair on the baldies. Stefan's is the best.
That would have fried Turtle's fish.
HoneyBear still thinks Daddy Tom is hot and says that he goes to a bar called Pecs and all the queens love him. Are you guys still reading this? Why? Bobblehead claims that HoneyBear campaigned for Fan Favorite on Facebook. HAHAHa. He owns it and says he asked for help from his fellow bears. Prettyish looks uncomfortable. A fan site made an Obama pic for Beaker. HAHAH.
Hope. Change. Multiple Personality Disorder.
And the winner is....Fabio! Boooooo! Beaker was robbed! Now for a montage of Fabio talking funny. OK I've had enough. Sorry for this lame recap but seriously NOTHING happened. Thanks so much for reading this whole season you guys. You really made it fun for me. I am on American Idol duty til Spring and then Big Brother this Summer! STAY SAFE and I will see you next season! LOVE

Flipit, I totally agree. Overall, the reunion was DULLSVILLE...Your recap, however was exceptional, as always!
Favorite part:
Rad says she didn't want to be known for Indian food but that's all she cooked. Why? She claims that she never made traditional Indian food. Why does she look like she died a week ago? No answer.
I'm so sad Top Chef is over!! Not because I want to see more of lame Hosea (although, like Big Gay Rich, I wouldn't mind more Tom. Yes, please!), but because your recaps are just fantab!! I'll say it, Flipit. You're my favorite! Thank goodness I have American Idol to hold me over.

The "blind love" montage you put up is just effing hilarious! I especially liked the 80s rockers and their poor mulleted child. LOL!
Flipit, u should have won fan favorite

When Stefan said he was glad he didnt win... I remembered how someone on this comments board said he might have "thrown" the challenge because he didnt want to be bound to the contract he would inevitably "win"...
Given the mediocre batch of chefs, mediocre prizes (when there even prizes) and overall mediocrity of this whole Top Chef season, I thought that possibly Stefan was being serious, and honest. For some of those chefs, those not quite as established, that contract is a dream come true. For someone like Stefan who has been in the business for 23 years (i believe thats what he said?), it isnt quite the same. Maybe he wanted the Top Chef title but not the contracts and obligations that come with that title? His arrogance is enough to make that possible. Just my opinion :)
Oh, and that hair experiment they did on the show had me laughing a long time. HILARIOUS.
I agree, Beaker deserved fan favorite but then the same argument can be made for Fabio, because I love him. So if it was not Beaker, it should have been Fabio.

Flipit, the only thing I will miss about this season of Top Chef are your hilarious recaps. Thanks for causing me spew coffee all over my computer YET AGAIN!!
"My colon's about to fall out." Choking, not breathing, laughing my fucking ass off!! :-D
The blind love montage was also brilliant. Scary, but brilliant.
I think Top Pussy should open a potato restaurant, the first of its kind. All potatoes. All the time.
Thanks for a great season. Much love!
SWAK, PottyMouth

I was upset with myself because I got home too late to see the recap - so I taped the 12am rerun and watched it this morning. What a waste of video tape. Flipit, you are dead on - most. boring. show. ever. Jamie and Leah drunk was the highlight. But THANKS for making a gourmet meal out of garbage - your recap was amazingly funny.
One thing - didn't Fabio talk about how he needed the "win" money to take care of his sick Mama? I love how Bobblehead called him on that when he said he would use the fan fav money to work on his restaurant. I was disappointed that Hootie did not win fan fav, but have to say that Fabio was my second choice so it's ok. But here4beer is soooo right - Flipit deserves the fan fav win!
Big hugs Flipit - xoxox

Oh, Flipit, I couldn't stop watching that "blind love" montage!!! Hilarious! I agree with the person above: You can make a gourmet meal out of garbage.
I loved Fabio, so I'm glad he won fan fave, but, yeah, what about sick mama?
I'm happy we still have AI, but do I really have to watch Big Brother to have my Flipit fix this summer? Oh dread...a girl's gotta do what a girl's...well, you know...
LOVE

Who would've thunk it that Leah was actually edited to look SMARTER on the show than in real life? It's like the reverse-bimbo edit!

Does any one else hate that Andy Cohen douchenozzle with the white-hot intensity of a kitchen grease fire?
8 of 18 | Posted by NotWithoutMyTV | Posted on March 5, 2009 12:47 PM
And his Osmond family grin? Ummm, yeah, totally.
9 of 18 | Posted by njgasmifan | Posted on March 5, 2009 1:49 PM
I'd fuck Andy Cohen in half. And he'd like it.
love, J-Mo :)
P.S. Flipit, way to spin gold out of straw! Love to you! :)

J-Mo, I'm sure Cohen would like it.
Especially if you're a man.
11 of 18 | Posted by NotWithoutMyTV | Posted on March 5, 2009 2:48 PM
J-Mo, I doubt your boyfriend would like it, though.... Andy Cohen is a Bobblehead, funny stuff, and I'm so glad I didn't watch the reunion, esp. if Beaker did not win fan fave.

Luv and kisses!

kara-
i was the one that said that i think stefan didn't win on purpose, and i still think it. he seemed pretty sincere when he said he didn't want to win on tv, and he's friends with my dad and told him the same thing.

Thanks for great recaps Flip! I'm going to miss the beaker videos!

Whitney -
Thank you for clarification! :) I believe it too. I think the way he said it sounded just slightly cocky and arrogant (as did Tom!) but I believe it was the truth.
16 of 18 | Posted by kara | Posted on March 6, 2009 9:20 AM
Waaaaa!!! NO more Beaker . . . . no more Hootie! Boobie hooobie!!!
I'm okay with Fabi takin' it, tho . . . I did like it when HoneyBear said, "Are they talking about you and me Tom" He seems like one of us, and I should go seek him out on Facebook.
Couldn't help but notice that DT kept his hand over his crotch the whole time, not that I'm the type to stare there or anything *ahem* but really . . . at least Toby was splaying all over . . . hee
Anyone hate him less now that it's over?
I was glad Hoser and that dish rag got dumped!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!! And if they didn't get caught, would they have not felt guilty and gone all bonkers . . . I'm just askin . . .
Big Smooches Flip, Hootie, hoo, and out!

Oh, J-Mo, you are SOOO much better than Andy Bobblehead. Aim higher! (Oooh, double entendre!)
I love Stefan, but I'm afraid "I really didn't want to win" or "I didn't try to win" sounds like he is trying to save face. Next he'll say, "Well, Top Chef is not an important prize" or something like that. It's called "sour grapes."
He looked kinda hot with hair.
