blog hunting & gathering for epi7 ... and as mentioned in past posts, these are the places i poach for tcfrivolity fodder. so let's get started!

here are the TWO who packed their knives and moved over to the sequester house. tatt man gene & bangs chick melissa. and as i've mentioned before, when you visit the folks where blog hunting & gathering-ing is poaching, please consider posting a l'il comment or two! (lots of work and snark go into entertaining the tcfrivolity crew!) ...









(thanks bravo for the pics over in the top chef bios/more photos portion of the way-more-info-than-one-needs about season 5)

• david dust's when the booze is gone, it's time to move on ... the first b in the bgbgbgbhg-ing effort - and it's a great start! so just a few highlights to get some of the tcfrivolity up to speed. we'll use david's post to fill-in the blanks of what happened but GO THERE if ya saw the show (or not) ...
  

• guest judge ... Frenchie Jean-Christophe Novelli ... JUST SO HAPPENS to have an upcoming show on Bravo ... is some big-deal pastry chef, which immediately makes everybody wetfart in their chef pants.
• QF challenge ... Monsieur Novelli likee Radhika, Leah, and Jeff’s desserts. He no likee Carla, Ariane, and Jamie.
• on (eu)gene ... Eugene gets the “loser edit” by talking about how much he misses his family before speaking to them on a T-Mobile Sidekick ...Missing Your Family + Speaking To Family On Sponsor Cell Phone = GOING HOME. I fear it will be “Aloha” for Hawaiian Gene.
• on elim challenge ... be cooking a family-style dish for 12 people – and there are no limits ... judges will “judge blind”, meaning that they will not know who prepared each dish ... TWO chefs will go home this week ... divide into the A and B teams. Each team will shop, cook, and present separately because of the small kitchen they will be cooking in. Team A (Melissa, Eugene, Jamie, Radhika, Fabio and Hosea) & Group B (Jeff, Carla, Stefan, Leah, Ariane, Jamie)

• amuse biatch's picture recap ... simply put! (will revisit after more is posted on epi7)
  
  
• cliffieland's focus group (or, two for the road) ... ah, yes! MONIKER-MAN! this installment is "next stop: Top (insert cleverness here)" - i'll list 'em here, however, GO! to cliffie's site.
  

• Chef Eugene (Next Stop: Top Sushi), one of the bottom two last time, is pissed that anyone would question his mad skills.
• Perpetual bottom-dweller Chef Melissa (Next Stop: Top Cheez Whiz) is too busy perfecting her drowned rat look to be pissed.
• Chef Hosea (Next Stop: Top Smoke Bomb) just thinks his win was "awesome."
• And totally-not-jealous Chef Stefan (Next Stop: Top Ego) responds by muttering something in (what I can only assume is) Klingon.
• Chef Ariane (Next Stop: Top Shill) starts off the plug-fest by mentioning she's going to use some yummy Dr Diet's Carbonated Toxic Waste™ in her dish.
• Chef Jeff (Next Stop: Top Dildo Dilido Coif) says something about having an edge because people in Miami Beach (where he works) are shallow, narcissistic and obsessed with being thin, or has he puts it "are concerned with their physique."
• Chef Jamie (Next Stop: Top Edible Bivalve Mollusk) is mad she can't cop Richard Blaise's banana scallop dessert idea and decides to just get through this challenge and will wait to use scallops next time.
• Chef Carla (Next Stop: Top Telepath) doesn't want to be known as a baker, a caterer or a rational human being; she's bananas. (Strike that. She's making bananas.)
• Chef Radhika (Next Stop: Top Curry Not Curry! Curry!) tells us she, too, is not a pastry chef, but can pull together a mean bread pudding.
• Chef Fabio (Next Stop: Top Granma) has made a tart.
• Chef Leah (Next Stop: Episode Eight, airing on Bravo, Wed., Jan. 14 at 10 p.m. EST/9 p.m. CST).
  

and on another side-note about cliffie's monikerisms ... he's got some witty taglines about the QF Dr Pepper shtuff - Dr Diet's Can O' Chemicals™, Dr Diet's Carbonated Toxic Waste™, Dr Diet's Aluminum-Wrapped Aspartame™, Dr Diet's Recyclable Lymphoma-Bait™, Dr Diet's Six-Pack Of Food Additives™, Dr Diet's Aspartic Acid & Phenylalanine™, Dr Diet's Fizzy C₁₈H₂₃O₉N₃S Drink™.
