Gawker
For the third week straight, some cute girl has been kicked off Top Chef. It started with the annoyingly hippieish Micah. The following week the incredibly cute Camille was axed—and last night Lia packed her knives and went. Is newly-single Padma feeling particularly territorial of her role as Queen Kitchen Bee?
In the previous seasons the Top Chefs haven't been too hard on the eyes. Ilan is a little porcine tampon, admittedly, but he is technically cute, as is Marcel in a puckish Ducky way. Who can forget the Stephen Malkmus of the kitchen, Season One winner Harold Perilla Dieterle?
Who do we have this year? Fireplug Howie and oafish Joey. Then there's CJ, who is handsome but only half a man (in the testicle department). In the ladies department, Padma has already made quick work of the competition. Clearly the most pulchritudinous chef is Casey—but she's already been on the chopping block twice. Sara isn't too bad looking bur her job as executive chef at the horrible "restaurant" Boucarou certainly doesn't bode well for her future.

I keep tuning in for Brian's hats.
@mathnet: Heard.
Sadly, there is a whole lotta ugly going on in Miami. Though, that Sandee was a pretty good looking fellow.
This is defintely Bravo's least gay program. I keep tuning into to catch glimpses of Padma's giant arm scar.
I keep tuning in to see how far up his own petard Hung is willing to hoist himself. I'm all for back-talking your judges, but at least put some effort into it.
@Colonel Mustard: Are he and MC Gelee an item? How well do they "know" each other?
1. Props for "pulchritudinous"
2. Don't you know, the uglier the chef the more successful his/her restaurants? Haven't you ever seen Batali and his sausage fingers riding around town on his Vespa?
Dear Padma,
I write novels too! None of them have been, you know, published or, um... even finished but... give a guy a break!
FUCKING DONKEYS!
(admit you watch Hell's Kitchen...after all, we all subscribe to the Times, but still buy the Post every Sunday)
@LolCait: Sandee was pleasant enough to watch in his Tai Chi outfit, but definitely no Sam. Overall, I'd say it's more of a Capote Ugly.
i've already given up on this season and am anxiously awaiting the Runway.
Please refrain from comparisons between Harold DIETERLE (Perilla is the name of his restaurant, dopey!) and Stephen Malkmus. Two different leagues of cool - one contrived, the other the real deal. I'll leave you to decide which is which.
Wait. Isn't Lia the one that took an entire 2 hours to make Franks and Beans? A joke that goes "Yo momma is so dumb it took her an hour to make Minute Rice" comes to mind.
BTW, Tom Colicchio totally owns me every Wednesday night.
Is it wrong that I adore CJ? Even with one testicle?
I keep waiting for Joey to be booted but...since he's taken to wearing his Top Chef whites while smoking cigs outside the Cafe Des Artistes, I fear my wait will be a long one.
Are you forgetting about Brian? He is clearly the cutest of all the males cheftestants.
I am very surprised that Howie continues to stay (and even win sometimes) considering that he drizzles all his dishes with a constant stream of head sweat. This stream is aided by his hunchedEmeril posture that directs the sweat to his nose. This ensures even distribution over whatever pork dish he is cooking at that moment.
Sadly, and I dont want to get too off topic here but I have to admit that as a culinary professional Top Chef just doesn't do it for me. Hell's Kitchen, while it will never win an emmy and Gordon Ramsey is nuts, is more "real" of the these two reality shows. Getting yelled at a cursed by a psycho chef is a trial by fire for anyone who wants to be successful in my business.
@whoneedslight: I'm with you there. He may be half the man testicularly but he's twice the man in the height dept.
What about poor Gail? Do you think not being mentioned is going to help her with the bulimia?
How can any one exclude Sam from last year's season in a conversation of good looking "Top Chef"s??
The main question here is why didn't that Sarah chick get kicked to the curb when all she prepared was a seafood guacamole???
@spielarama: agreed. and she talks even more sloooowly than padma.
Dale has some kind of perverse appeal based on the ugliness of his features that some how sums to a sexier whole. I don't understand how the chick from Jean-Georges got cut though...
um, has anyone looked at tre lately? (insert remarks about chocolate, black, going back, et cetera.) plus he can sort of cook. also, agreed that being half giant totally compensates for testicular shortcomings.
Top Chef > Hell's Kitchen anyday. I take Colicchio over Ramsey. TC is a subtle asshole while Ramsey's in your face is extra and almost unbelievable.
Anyway. Cute chefs. Tre is pretty cute and I totally agree on the exclusion of Sam being a gross oversight. Oh well. To each his or her own.
as long as that hot tall dude is there I'm happy
Guevara284- You might need to find another metaphor for Batali's ruddish paws. If they were indeed sausage fingers, I feel he would be struggling to cook after serving them up to Michael Stipe with a light Chianti and some Fava beans...

Good heavens, us chick viewers are in some serious need of wow on the good-looking guy factor. Howie & Joey? The new Mario Bros. Hung? Most likely not! CJ? Freakishly tall is a possible BDSM fetish. Brian? Okay, it's okay to eat seafood, just don't cook it all the time! Thank God for Tre, but he couldn't BBQ! And DALE? Dick around with that conch instead of pineapple!
*Sigh*, no wonder I still have the hots for Colicchio!
You can make rice in one minute?
