Can you feel it getting down to the wire?

On another note, what is up with Chef's Academy? Why did Bravo feel the need to put such a crappy show on after such a good one?

ETA: How awesome was it that Kevin won after Michael called his cooking "the food that I cook on my day off?"

Also with more experience and maturity(not living at home anymore), he would have been a better contestant.

Hosea in a porcupine-like form.

I now sort of love scrappy little Eli.

Until a judge chokes on a fish bone
Bryan just waits and sits
But the judges say it tastes like shit
Kevin plays the waiting game
Keeps it simple and take the blame
For playing it safe, but it works.
He's at Bocuse d’Or, not those jerks
Jen gets her Quickfire to click
But her salmon gets cut too thick.
So from five we cut it down to four.
Eli's lamb is raw and is shown the door.

Oh kindly please tell me it ain’t so!
It sets the bar too high for those
More comfortable commenting in prose.
Alas, say I, behold and lo,
I’ll humbly try to give it a go.
This episode was tense and raw,
Enticing as a blooming rose.
Eli’s defeat was a harsh blow
Out of which success will grow.
From my own angle of repose,
I think Thomas Keller must enclose
A "French Laundromat" joint, to-go
In his portfolio, for the poors!

I hope commenters
Will step up to the plate and
Respond in same coin.

Check out Next Iron Chef for some people that can really cook with imagination, knowledge, and skill.
And I guess Padma L was pretty hot in those Carl Jr. commercials, but neither she nor any of the judges seem that engaged by the food. #topchef

Top Chef literally cherry picks the best chefs from around the country (i.e. my future girlfriend, Ms. Carroll, sous chef at Le Benardin, aka, Mr. Eric Ripert's restaurant, also known far and wide as one of the best seafood restaurants in the world.) It's okay to dislike the show, but do it for the format not the quality.
The Next Iron Chef is interesting, but mostly as hey, the remote is too far away, I can settle, kind of way. #topchef

And their ability to come up with inventive dishes is great.
And you've got to love a contestant that confidently admits to lying to the judges faces. #topchef

Top Chef, as much as it's scripted out, like most reality programming, does seem to be more of a genuine competition. Once the winner is selected, they are not a property to be further marketed by Bravo. They're just someone who won a game show. #topchef

But you glossed over the actual "sex" part. It's like watching the movie "Personal Best," but then finding out you're watching it on USA Network and all sex scenes have been edited out.

Or if he wanted to go the dessert route: gourmet candied apples or a fancy-dancy funnel cake. Mmmm... funnel cake. #topchef
