Someone I really want to talk to needs to know I can’t email him. Please contact me at [email protected] I have lost all access to my gmail!!! My computer crashed.
I have no idea how long this laptop will hold up or of if you guys will ever see this very short Top Chef recap. It’s the family challenge. The family members are at a restaurant trying to explain what the chefs are supposed to be replicating. I heard tonight that a lot of people’s computers are crashing. I think it might be a Windows issue and not a computer issue. I have a very expensive computer. WHAT I NEED IS MY FUCKING GMAIL. Um sorry. They chefs had loved ones eating dishes and trying to tell them what they were eating. Kevin won.
The family gets to help in the next round. I am sort of pissed that Eric who I will never meet and would never be attracted to me has such a hot wife. I guess I should just be happy for him. LOL. But Gregory’s mom is there… so I can still pretend to hope. Hey times are hard. Let an old lady dream. Then Lee Anne’s mom passes out. This is what we DO NOT NEED. We love Lee Anne and ESPECIALLY love her mama. This is just a no for me. I love how everyone sort of abandoned their own shit and went to help her. OMG SOBBING. Everyone goes to help Lee Anne. I am so sick of being a crybaby for good things and bad things. Also, thank you all for emailing me and checking on me. It means so much.
Banjo is freaking out because I can’t stop crying. I just keep giving him treats. Because the person who sent me stuff sent treats for Banjo. CRYING AGAIN. Okay deep breaths. This was a whole long episode. I need to watch RHOBH I still haven’t but I also need to go back to bed.
Jenn is annoying. Can she please go home? I am trying way harder not to be a bitch but, she’s not my favorite.
Judges Table
Once again, Melissa sold the most product. She’s amazing and probably the winner of the whole damn thing. But I don’t feel like I know her one way or another. I would have bought Gregory’s jar. Gregory, Nini and Eric are top three. I love them all so any way this goes works for me. I want all of their things. Gregory won!
Stephanie, Jen and Malarkey are bottom three. He’s pissed. I just want Jenn to leave. Malarkey is an asshole. I love assholes. So I don’t want him to go! But the editing makes me think he will. I he goes before Jenn I will hate life even more. I’m terrified. PLEASE send Jenn home.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jenn is out. I am so grateful to get this post up. Sorry for all the delays.
With the Malarky prviews every week, it almost seems he is a judge’s favorite. With his predictions — he was wrong this week — I started wondering if he were going home tonight. I really want him to be around until the finale. You just KNOW he has the WHOLE plan in place for Restaurant Wars. He’s already planned ALL OF THE THINGS and will be majorly PO’ed if he doesn’t get his way.
Melissa or Kevin for the win. I live fairly close to SF, I need to visit Melissa’s restaurant.
(I am still watching RHNY where Ramona is responding to LuAnn’s text. One of the best RH of any franchise in a long time.)
I adore Malarkey. He adds a lot to the show with all his commentary.
I never comment but am here every day, loving you and the group of friends here. I’m only writing now because I’m worried about you and want you to know you’re not alone. You’re going through hell now but we’ve seen your strength and courage and know you will be okay one day soon. Just know that so many people love and care for you – even me – who rarely has the courage to comment.
Thanks, Emma.
is this the same malarky who has been on the food network competitions a lot? if so, his surname suits him. is kevin the one who pretty much walked away with his season?
Kevin was in the finals with the Voltaggio bros on his season.
Same Malarky. Judges said even though he didn’t win his season, he has done very well. They said he probably is richer than all of them. I agree with Janabanana that he adds a lot to the show. He is a natural showman.
Kevin didn’t win his season but he was one of the top — I think third place. I love Kevin. Even more than I did the first time!
Yes! I saw that on wwhl with Pasma, Gail, and Tom. Padma said Malarkey was worth more than all of them combined.
No matter how good Jens food might be she’s just not likeable. Every show I’ve seen her on she’s the same grouch
Noooooo, Jen is the strong silent type who has spent her career dealing w asshole men and is like bring it on b******. She’s a beast!
Agree, I wanted Jenn to stay. I really wanted Malarkey to go home. I can’t stand him. I am sick of him and his ego.
Totally agree. She was the first one to run over to help Leann’s mom too. I’m bummed she’s gone. Malarkey is such a tool.
I would defer to JoJo’s opinion about women in the Chef field today, but when I worked in restaurants, it was RARE to see a woman on the line, much less as head chef. And not an easy place for a woman to be. I was privileged to work with some GREAT chefs who were amazing people. And a few who were ASSHOLES. I loved Jenn her first season, not as much on the second time. I like her again. Last Chance Kitchen, we shall see.
I’ve always liked jenn. She was in the top 4 or 5 I believe in Kevin and Brian’s season. She really broke down in the first all stars season, when she argued with tom and was sent home. She was better this time around. I kind of feel sorry for her.
I think stephanie and her boring vegan tomato sauce should have been sent home.
TT- I wish there was something we could do or say to bring you some peace and happiness you provide all of us.
I love Eric, Gregory, and Kevin. Each episode I find Melissa more and more attractive. Maybe it’s her silent strength and confidence. I don’t usually want anyone to go home but I’m over Malarky. Especially after he Made that list ranking the other chefs. I loved Lee Anne’s comment she made about him in next weeks preview . “Shopping with Malarky is like shopping with monkeys on crack”. Hilarious.
I’ve only watched the first half, but Gregory and Nini have such light spirits. They’re enjoyable to watch.
Love this show…the fact that they all jumped in to help really showed their character. When you are confident in your skills, you don’t mind helping someone else out (Bianca Del Rio my Drag Race fellow fans). Based on editing I thought for sure it was going to be Malarkey….soo well done editors…you tricked me.
I love Top Chef so much. I am currently working through all the seasons again while I quarantine. I absolutely love and adore each and every chef on this all stars season. My heart is breaking at every elimination. Especially Jen’s. She was robbed in the last all stars by that horrible whiny Jamie and I was crossing my fingers she would go all the way this time.
I LOVED Jamie the first time she was in “Top Scallop” with Stephan and Fabio. Jenn was one of my faves too. The second time with both I was so bummed. So disappointed. Especially with Jamie because she is an SF homie.
Jamie was much better in her first season and I think Stephan teasing her brought out a better side. In the All Stars season, she seemed to kind of let the fame go to her head. My dream is to travel around and eat at all the top chef restaurants.
Love, Love, Love this show. I live in Boston and have been to Karen’s restaurant Fox & The Knife several times. She is amazing. Her staff is amazing and the food is FANTASTIC! Restaurant has a really cool vibe. She is super talented. I think she’s a little nervous but I have faith she’s gonna be there in the finale!
Even Malarky put Karen up in the top of his list. I agreed with most of his list. He sure got it wrong this time, though… and almost went home. I think unless he REALLY tanks, he won’t get cut until after Restaurant Wars. That episode could be a clusterfuck if he doesn’t get his way. A clusterfuck production wants to see!
I live near Boston and wrote to Karen in her Instagram page about fox and knife and was so pumped when she responded ? I need need NEED to go. I love her
I like Malarky for comedic value. But Melissa is the clear front runner. I feel like Tom knows about the Collichio vagide movement on social media.
What movement? I haven’t heard of this, please tell!!!
Marlarkey better recognize he’s been on the bottom 3 the past couple of weeks. Time for his rankings to reflect that. He seems to think that his Malarketing is enough to overcome his uninspired food. The judges are not buying it. Nor did the foodies. Good thing he sold his restaurants because his appearance on Top Chef wouldn’t drive me to visit any of his restaurants. Nini’s mom ate the meal during the quickfire, makes it hard to describe the dish! got tears in my eyes when LeeAnne’s mom was doing sous chef duty. Happy that Nini, Gregory, Melissa and Eric did well in the elimination challenge. Once again, Brian V gets an attaboy for having a delicious dish but quickly learns he’s got the Worst Dish because it was the wrong protein. Not a Jen fan because she is generally whiny and blames others for her mistakes so I won’t miss her. But I will admit that I like her more now that I see the love she has for her sisters. A soft part of her that we don’t see.
And that she finally realized that she has to think differently when she is cooking for others. Lesson learned too late but a good lesson to embrace for her future. Still surprises me though that she didn’t know that.
I don’t understand why Brian V seems to get a pass. Oily salsa?! But bland tomato sauce is worse somehow…
Stephanie sending her husband to help LeAnn was very sweet. I like Stephanie and hope she does better.
I have said it before and I will say it again, I am loving this season! Even Padma is less annoying!
I read somewhere that the guest judge Nancy Silverton was diagnosed with
Covid-19 recently but seems to be recovering.
