I’ve missed the liveblogging, but have definitely been watching. Slowly learning all your nicknames.

Thankfuckingod I’m not the only Weed hater. It pains me to see him doing well, ha.

I had no idea they would let someone on Top Chef that’s working for Eric Rupert. No wonder Shiv’s doing so well. And yes, her and Brother will definitely be making out sometime soon.

Robyn is way too ADD and needy. All the camera time her and HBG were getting was painful.

Hope to see Hairbrush gone soon, but I don’t think she threw the little French fairy under the bus if you’re talking about the asparagus – that was her suggestion in WF, I thought. But I definitely saw the look on Brother’s face when Weed started talking about the dish (the “OhNoYouDiddddn’t” face).

I had to rip into your blog first thing this morning, because, as is my custom, I slept right through elimination.

I was really annoyed by Weed and his comment about not knowning what those dishes are. Did he go to culinary school? Isn’t classic french cooking considered the basic skills for just about all cooking? Aren’t things like bearnaise and veloute pretty much “Sauces 101″? How can this guy not know this stuff just because French cuisine isn’t his specialty.

Beardie likes bacon. That’s good. I wish he’d shave. The beard grosses me out. Can’t he wear some kind of face protector over that thing like they do in food and drug factories. I don’t know why, but I just find that beard really skeevy.

I came to the conclusion last night that Haitian Boat Guy sounds like Andre The Giant in “The Princess Bride”. I expect him to say at some point in this competition that he wants it to be “Sportsman-Like” or say, “Hello Lady” to one of the women (and likely that will be yet another one of the women to be eliminated).

You say “shal-LOTS” if you’re Jamie Oliver.

11:02: Chance that Shiv and Brother I will start making out in front of the judge’s table: 95%. – This year’s Hoseleah? I swear those two were going to get it on in Whole Foods. Oh, and the City of Atlanta weeps softly, as one of our three Top Chefs are gone. Although, one of our Top Chefs got to sit at the judges table, which is cool, so maybe we’re neutral? I’m really surprised at Hector losing due to beef not cooked properly. His restaurant kicks major ass, and yes, he is as difficult to understand in person as he is on TV! But he’s also a swell guy too. Anyway, that’s my 2 cents, and then some. Love your blog, keep up the good work!

Bryan: Your prize is, you get to work your ass off for a week, for FREE!

Neckerchief lied about the asparagus, and Weed lied about not taking credit for Bryan’s deconstructed Bernaise idea. Both were accompanied by “WTF? Um, Okaaaay” looks (from Hairbrush and Bryan) and the ominous basso profundo piano THUD on the soundtrack. We better see some repercussions next week.

Every time someone mentions that Weed’s from Jersey I cringe. We don’t want him associated with us. STOP REMINDING ME.

Shiv blushes faster than anyone I’ve ever seen. She’s red as a beefsteak tomato 1.2 seconds after being complimented or winning a challenge! She’s adorable when she’s not, you know, Shivvy.

I’m glad XXY (hairbrush) isn’t going home, lest there be an opportunity for righteous indignation at some point in the near future (Next Episode: catering for only short Pantene models). ‘ector fucked up Chateaubriand, though. Do they not have Chateaubriand in Puerto Rico? Or on pirate ships?

Frenchie is a tiny, neckerchief-wearing LIAR. And XXY didn’t call him out on it. I respect that, grudgingly.

Neckerchief is really worried about turning 30. And he wears red trunks. So Gay. Or French.

I’m not concerned about Beardie being gay but I am really concerned about the cut aways while Robuchon is speaking french. I’m not clear if one of the five languages Padme speaks is French but her blank expression suggests she doesn’t understand a word. Then again – that may be her normal look.
