I want to comment on one thing that disgusts me in watching the TopChef6 chefs. Many of them have prominent tattoos. If I were going to a fine dining establishment and saw that on the chef, I would turn around and walk out. The gays have their prejudices and I have mine. I will say that so far (and there hasn't been a lot of spare time to use extra camera shots) there does not appear to be the usual smokefest from these chefs, which is a positive statement about them. I hate cigarette smoke in my presence, but recognize the right of the chefs to light up at the appropriate times. I just don't want to see 10 of them chewing the fat and smoking like chimneys.
TexasLady,
I have an alternative view. The kiss of death for Mattin was when Tom Colicchio spit his ceviche out on camera. I have never seen Tom do that to anyone's dish before.
Robin did something right for the first time in TC6.
I think Ron was totally out of his element, especially with the last challenge. He didn't know what to do and tried to use the advice given him but ended up with a mess. I bet he is an excellent chef cooking what he knows best.yea i agree tl.. he was sooo sweet and i had no idea what undoing or what ever the chanlage was called even ment??
I do not think that calling out Eli's role in the saltiness of the gnocchi would have saved Ashley, but there is a minor chance that it could have. It makes on difference in the longer run. The top chefs have clearly been established and they will be the last 5 chefs remaining:
Kevin
Jen
Bryan
Mike V.
Michael I. (he is a up and down in his performance, not consistent, so he might not make it)
Chefs for whom the handwriting is already on the wall include:
Robin
Laurine
Ash
Eli
Texas Lady,
I would love to see a continuing rebound from Jen also. She probably had 2 days to get to Napa Valley for filming of the last 2 episodes of Top Chef 6. I would love to see Mike go do in flames like he deserves for his bombastic behavior that is not supported by his culinary skills, which I think are actually a little less than the other 3 chefs. I would love to see a Jen/Kevin/Bryan finale. We'll see on Thanksgiving eve.
