    Liveblogging Top Chef: Finale, Part 2 top chef | (43)
    Final 3.  Bug-eyed awesome lady.  Fairly useless guy from Colorado.  Douchebag from Finland.  Not that I am in any way biased.  I will have ongoing backup of the post, so if Bluehost craps out again just wait 'til the end and the whole post should be up in short order, and you can read it while you watch the 11:00 re-run (though we've made it 2 weeks in a row, so fingers crossed).

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Finale, Part 1 top chef | (75)
    Finale. New Orleans. Schmemeril. FABIO!! sporting a troubling fauxhawk, and I say that as one who has had a TOTALLY KICKIN' one and knows her way around a fauxhaux. Also, the fauxhauk activates my vituperative Ilan hatred. The site did not crash during last week's ep, but this knowledge does not subdue my agita in any way. Fingers crossed, please. Keep going...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Episode 12 top chef | (69)
    I don't really remember what is supposed to happen this week, although I've been having dreams about Leah being literally thrown under a bus all week.  No, I'm here to warn you that it is inevitable that something is going to go screwy with the site, probably more than once, during this episode.  Wordpress doesn't like processing multiple comments at once (Although it's not that many so I don't really get it - are you all commenting at the SAME EXACT SECOND during commercials? If so, cut it out.), and my host insists that I'm exceeding my CPU usage during ...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Episode 11 top chef | (38)
    Screw the jelly, are you ready for Eric Ripert? Because he is coming, and either you think he's incredibly handsome or looks kind of like a Dolph Lundgren-esque serial killer. Either way, he's a dangerous man with a fillet knife. I know that last week the site went down once or twice during the show. I don't know if it was a freak thing, or if BlueHost is so completely pathetic that it can't handle 17 people hitting refresh at once. If it happens again, (1) don't panic and (2) it only lasts for a minute or two, ...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Episode 10 top chef | (42)
    BOILERPLATE: Have you heard? I’m a finalist in the 2009 Bloggies. Best-Kept Secret Blog! No shitting. I’ve added a new page to the site specifically to showcase my best work pander for votes. Tonight: Top Chef all-stars return, where all-stars means "we still haven't been able to get the kinds of jobs we think we deserve, because we've embarrassed ourselves on national television." Which means that we'll be subjected to the likes of Andrew and Spike. Let us all pray to the baby Jesus that Ilan is not involved. I did think I spied Season 1's Miguel ...

    Liveblogging Top Chef: Episode 9 top chef | (31)
    Restaurant Wars is like the Super Bowl of Top Chef - you've thinned the crappy players out of the herd, but everyone remaining is a little too high-strung and the actual game ends up sucking.  Unfortunately, more people care about the Leah/Hosea bullshit than the actual cooking, judging by today's seventy jillion "Leah Hosea kiss cheating boyfriend" hits.  Get over it, people.  You're only making Bravo think we want more of this crap, which we most certainly DO NOT.

    50 minutes from now, right here: liveblogging the new batch of cocky, befauxhawked cheftestants.  Who will throw who under the bus first?  What kind of strangely inappropriate clothing will Padma wear?  Is Tom Colicchio capable of not being a total dickwad?  Why are reality show contestants so much more prone to fatal bus accidents than the rest of us?  Will I actually have anything to say? Join me - this post will be contiually updated, assuming this 8-year-old Toshiba laptop can take it, and the comments are ready and waiting for your expletive-laden judgment.  See you after the jump! ETA:  Can't ...
