Top Chef Reunion 6/18 *spoilers* - Page 3

AsIs · 06-19-2008, 12:12 AM

So out of the Top Four, three have open or are opening a new restaurant.

We get to see several bromance's going on.

The only person Lisa was comfortable losing to was Stephanie.

Jen and Zoi felt it was a disadvantage that they were on the show together as a couple. And it seems they are not one anymore. Or are going thru a rough patch.

Mark got married.

There are several montages of contestants being goofy. Spike being sneaky, Ryan being wordy, Richard being Willy Wonka, Lisa giving the judges stink eye, contestant nightmares, fights in the Stew room, Goofy behavior in the Stew room, the judges being harsh and probably a few I am forgetting.

But my favorite is Antonia as the Black Hammer. I don't remember seeing that on the show and it kind of rocks.

Andrew actually went to Mark's wedding. Apparently Spike did not, but that could be because he's opening his own restaurant.

And did Mark look hot or what?! As did Ted with that slick silver tie.

Ryan still seems like a jerk. In fact, I think I like him less than Lisa. She actually seemed quite reasonable.

I felt sorry for Jen because she was saying they were having a rough patch, and seemed like Zoi wanted to say that they had broken up, but then said she wasn't discussing it.

I was glad Tom brought up & basically scolded the chefs on their foul language.

Funniest moment: Andrew's comment on ADD: "Well I haven't played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in a while..." And how cute was Gail when she said she enjoyed talked with Andrew. He actually seemed quite embarrased.

Cohen is such a douche, putting Tom on the spot asking if they were the most talented group. With the exception of Richard & Stephanie, and maybe Andrew & Dale, I'd say a resounding "NO"! What was Tom going to say, "Well Andy, you A-hole, I can't believe you asked me that, but these chefs were far below S3 talent wise."

I want a culinary boner t-shirt. I like that better than the "Oh, Big Time" one. (which was really, really stupid.)

Did they show Lisa's reaction? I wonder if she really thought she'd even be in the running.

I voted for Stephanie and Antonia.

Wow, this is Stephanie's year. Great job!

Her typical reaction, sour look. Very telling they mention this was Richard's competition to lose and what made Steph both fan favorite and season winner-completely ignoring Lisa's existance in the finale

I watched this with a series of interruptions, even the second airing, so I may have missed it, but in the previews, they kept showing Dale say he didn't want to talk about something. Did they ever air that bit? What didn't he want to talk about?

I didn't see Dale saying that (could have missed it too) but Zoi was saying that about her and Jen's personal relationship. They do this every year-show scenes in previews to pique our curiousity and then never another mention of it

I wish someone other than Stephanie had won the ten G's. She got enough!!! Mark could have paid off his wedding bills from marrying that tramp (I have a crush on Mark and know I could have made him much happier.) Or Richard could have used it to start a culinary school fund for little baby Blaze. And Andrew could could have purchased some nice, lovely ritilan to help control his monkey like mannerisms. And maybe Lisa could have bought a personality. I agree with the person above who said that they didn't think this was the best group. I didn't either. Do we forget so quickly all those eliminated first, they were terrible. And just who is this Cohen fellow sleeping with to get the jobs of hosting these reunion shows. He must be wild in the sack!!

Our cable was out last night and I missed everything. I'll have to catch it on a rerun, but they don't seem to replay these shows like they do the actual series.

It was a boring reunion. I can't believe I stayed up late to watch.

It's too bad the first 3-4 chefs eliminated don't get much to say on the reunion show or have a chance to win Fan Favorite, but that's reality TV.

Thanks for all the great recaps as they were much more exciting than the show. I'll see you all next season!

Random thoughts on the reunion:

1. Whenever I see that Andy Cohen is hosting a show, I know that not only will I have to endure looking at He-of-the-wonky-eye (**shudders**), but the show itself will focus on sex (especially gay sex), embarrassing moments, and crude, tasteless crap like the "I have a culinary boner" t-shirt.

2. I realize they probably cut a lot, so who knows what the context was really, but I thought it was in poor taste for Tom to say that he knew who *wouldn't* be getting the fan favorite vote. It was also in poor taste to announce that the competition was Richard's to lose. Whether it was or not, it was wrong to say it in front of the other contestants.
