They should have made them write down their favorite movies beforehand because so many of the films they picked were just retro-fitted to the dishes they wanted to make. <BR/><BR/>Couldn't agree more about Spike and his doofus hats. Richard's hair may be ridiculous but at least he seems to be a decent chef. Spike ends up on the chopping block every week it seems. If I was Colicio I'd send him home *just* for the hat. <BR/><BR/>In the end, though, it seems Manuel may have been in over his head. His Quickfire dish was pretty much dismissed by DB and the whole Chilean Bass Spring Roll with the side of, um, something never seemed like a great idea.<BR/><BR/>Feels like the lovey-huggey camaraderie of the first few eps is wearing off and we're starting to get some divisiveness.

Thanks for the detailed recap. I know I say this after every episode but having tasted Stephanie's food when she had her restaurant, she is really a great talent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485172516211125601.post-8552066786273416182008-04-04T14:36:00.000-05:002008-04-04T14:36:00.000-05:00I've seen Tampopo!

Th...FINALLY a show that I was expecting out of TC. Think about what you want to prepare for a day, shop for the ingredients and then make something outstanding. Even the worst dishes weren't bad, just pedestrian. Nothing WRONG with that, just less good. It's amazing what these folks can do when they don't have transport/wait/and cook for 100. Nice show.<BR/><BR/>That said, I was a little upset that they sent home Miguel and not Spike. Their reasoning actually led to the conclusion that Spike should be sent home (he was clearly the leader on this meal) but then they flipped it and sent home Miguel. Miguel wasn't going to win and maybe he was wishy-washy on this dish, but if Spike isn't wearing a hat every show, tilted to one side like some sort of 1940's hipster-doofus (no offense Kramer), the producers would have sent him home. <BR/><BR/>Can't Zoe just be sent home for being retarded??<BR/><BR/>I thought I had Richard in my lineup but didn't!!

The producers must've loved that last night, though it didn't really produce the fireworks I would've expected.<BR/><BR/>The more I watch, the more I like Stephanie. But I'll tell you who I don't like: Ryan. I thought he was so cute before the season started...and then he just lost me with his whole "I was in the kitchen when I was 11" thing. And he didn't exactly bring me back with his COMPLETE lack of pop culture/movie awareness. He seems so...not fun.Kit Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325742818502163891noreply@blogger.com
