Marcel Vigneron - Season 2 - Page 12

I'm good with Marcel. I think he seems like a good competitor and probably is pretty nice. The competition is about winning. He did a lot of work, and what he said did not seem too crazy to me. He did a lot of work, and kudos to him for it.

I just wish he'd get rid of the do. I really dislike his hair. I really hope that he got it cut since the episode aired. Maybe a buzz cut. who knows, but please do something with it. It looks really bad.

I agree. Marcel is not bad, but that hair! I think it's just too much for his face-it overwhelms him.

If you went from liking Marcel to hating him again, you should have another change of heart after watching this preview clip.

Expect another episode where the food gets upstaged by all the drah-ma!

Betty and Marcel worked together twice before without creating too much conflict during the challenge. Sam doesn't deserve any credit for that.

A true leader is the person everyone else follows. You can't be a leader if people don't even notice you! If you're getting things done without being noticed, you might be a good manipulator or a good passive-aggressive instigator, but you're not even close to being a good leader.

Winston, you so hit it on the head. I would add that, to be a good leader, you must be able to listen and HEAR. This doesn't mean that you have to take all advice, but you have to give one and all their due. This seems to be a trait that Marcel, Elia and Cliff lack in abundance. Elia and Cliff can't listen or hear. Marcel is too egotistical to give others their credit. He is so caught up in ME, ME, ME that he can't see the US/WE.

Has Marcel one an individual challenge? If he has, it apperantly wasn't memorable, Could someone refresh me?

Yeah, he won the quickfire challenge where the chefs had to create a dish using only raw ingredients. That was the episode where they had to cook for the surfers, and Elia won that challenge. As much as I like Marcel, I thought someone else should have won the quickfire. Frank's dish was nice, with the diver scallop carpaccio...yum...

I agree that Marcels dish didn't scream "let's give him immunity" during the Quickfire of The Raw and The Cooked. As much as I want to dislike Frank, his dish did look excellent (and his good attitude towards being eliminated later helped, too).

Anyway, back to Marcel. I like him, and I want him to make it to the Top 4. His ego is a little out of check, but most chefs are like that.

You mean, I'm supposed to like him after watching this clip? I somehow don't share that view. He looks really annoying to me.

If you didn't like him before based on his looks, I don't expect that clip to change your mind. But this clip supports the argument that he hasn't done anything to justify the extreme hatred he gets from Betty and Ilan.
