Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten this was coming on but I wanted to watch it when I saw the promos a while back.

So many of them!

I see that it will be a couple of weeks before I can tell them apart enough to actually start liking any of them, more than likely we will have couple right out the box who will be obnoxious and diva-ish enough for me to dislike immediately but the rooting for? Takes a little longer.

Looks like it's just the premiere (tonight!) that airs at 11:00 PM. Next weeks show should be on starting at 10.

Yay! I'm really excited for this edition of Top Chef. It will be a nice little change and some of the contestants seem pretty interesting.

I think I'm the most excited about Hubert Keller being one of the judges. I fell in love with him when he competed on TCM. He's so completely lovely. :)

Me, too! I really liked him and I wanted to eat just about every dish he cooked.

A whole lot of queens... :D

I'm going to love this show :D

I loved the first episode! I think it's a pretty interesting group this year.

So far I think I like Heather, Seth, Eric and Zac. But the only people I don't like so far are Morgan and Danielle.

After two episodes, I have to say that I like Eric the best, followed closely by Heather C. and then Danielle a distant third. Zac annoys me, but, aside from the annoyance he poses, I think he actually has skill, just don't want to see him on the show because, well, he annoys me.
