Liveblogging Top Chef All Stars: Episode 13
Tonight: The Bahamas. And I might not be around, because I’m at a family thing tonight, but I’ll try!
Thursday Night Smackdown 
How could you choose family over Top Chef: Bahamas?! I hope it’s okay if I still comment here tonight!
Richard looks homeless.
Oh, I’m so sad seeing that flashback of Carla’s final judges’ table.
Once again, Carla has no problem; Hosea shouldn’t have won.
Am I the only one that had hoped the elimination challenge was going to be the head to head?
I really liked Tiffany in her season, but the longer she survives on all stars, the more she grates on my nerves.
Ugh, frikkin’ Hosea did it again. Not that his food was good, it was that someone else made a mistake. His whole season was like that.
Whoa, Mike I. won? Holy crap.
No no no! I can’t believe Mike I beat Voltaggio!
how did Mike I beat Mike V…?
I think in the very close cases, the judges went with the currently competing chef. Confidence booster before the elimination challenge. Yeah. That’s what I’m going with to explain the mike/mike phenomenon.
I want to go to there.
Ok Tiffany talking about loving living with Carla and getting into her groove…foreshadowing? maybe?
Blaise the Goat-Killer
Ew ew ew. It just looked like Mike was sweating allllllll up into his food.
no, Carla! stop psyching yourself out! don’t let this be a repeat of your finals! Yay Antonia for cheering her up 🙂
Don’t cry, Carla.
Drinking game for the # of times they say “royalty?”
I love a parade!
I keep thinking they’re saying “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
fist pump , mike!!!
Will there be…a TWEEST?!
Hello…. Bohemian royalty. There’s no real formal royalty in the bohemian world. But Mike bothers me in falling into the “my food is going to be too refined for common folk” way of thinking.
This is a very dramatic episode!
Your food is lost in the fire! We blame you for the charred flavor! Salvage the dish – that is your new elimination challenge.
(That’s what I’m predicting the news from Tom is, anyway)
Tarah: Do the Bahamians like Canjun food?
here comes the foam! Marcel would be wetting himself.
Richard: You should win on your own strengths, not on someone else’s mistake.
Ha! I guess it would make sense that they were saying Bahamians, not Bohemians. My B.
Canjun?
I’m with Tiffany, actually.
Cajun, sorry. Because it was a bit “hot.” Ha. Or not.
Richard’s going right for my heart with the pickled turnips. There’s a restaurant here that has a phenomenal pickled vegetable plate and there’s alway turnips and they’re always my favorite.
Oh, Carla. Hootie hope.
Oh no Carla’s doing a technique that she would normally never do. I’m nervous for her!
Does Mike I. ever have an insecure moment or is he just pure ego?
Carla should MacGruber it!
noooooooooo Carla! no! not again!
I thought I’d missed something else! I thought Cajun was… well, New Orleans, not the Caribbean. Some of the cultural influences are the same, but I wouldn’t assume they’d like the food stuffs. Just seems… naive?
Carla saved it!!
Carla did so-so. I hope it’s enough.
Wow – Tom’s comment about Antonia’s garnish being from HoJo’s was like Bourdain. I think they’ve been spending too much time together.
and crap, Mike did well. crappity crap crap crap.
Foam always looks like someone’s spit. Who wants to eat that? I will never understand.
Yikes! Mike kind of scared me there.
“all I got was fryer grease”-Tom. Did anyone fry something besides Carla?
uhhh yeah, doesnt sound promising for Carla
Jess – At the least, Antonia fried her shrimp.
It’s a lot easier to make a small something like shrimp taste like grease than a larger thing like a pork loin.
Weirdest pointless interlude ever.
By the way, we should mention this: WE MISS YOU, MICHELLE!
I’m getting flashbacks of “Best in Show” I used to memorize the names of all the nuts…. hickory nut….pistachio nut…red pistachio nut…
second the missing Michelle part (no offense to all of you)
I want to punch Mike in the face right now. Did you see that?
For the love of son of a b. Mike. Can you not make faces for about five seconds?
Oh, Richard, get over yourself. “I hate everything I do.” Riiiiiiiight.
Frikkin’ Mike. COME ON.
Richard, ohhhh Richard..why would you submarine yourself ?
Dammit!!!
Congrats. Yours was the worst in a shit storm. And you just admitted to not caring. And maybe it’s just my memory failing me, but is Mike’s dish similar to what Richard’s original plan was?
Oh Carla!!
*best in a shit storm.
You can see where my head is.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 😦
Sad. 😦
sad now.
This is a sad, sad night. Mike wins and Carla goes home.
Look at her crying. Ugh, hootie boo. 😦
I blame the fire. Threw her off.
does this mean Mike will be in the final 3? I hate to say it but I think he’s better than Tiffany.
Yes! foreshadowing is Mike getting a “smack in the face.” Finally, something.
I’m definitely bummed, but watching with you guys was a lot of fun! I hope I can make it again when our esteemed hostess is here too!
I’m so, so sad. But everyone loves Carla, right? She can feel the love!
Crap!I thought she was going to win the season!Rooting for Mike I(for no apparent reason,except he know Mike V)
In all the down time if any of these boobs had bothered to check out the Bahamas on Wikipedia they’d have known there ain’t no Bahamian royalty and it was a TRICK!!!
stoopid chefs. Why did they dumb down their food? Ordinary folks live fine dining.
Sorry, I meant “like”. *face palm*
Oh Hootie – did you learn NOTHING from Season 5 finale? No new techniques at the last minute.
