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!

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...

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.

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.

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...

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???

What about poor Gail? Do you think not being mentioned is going to help her with the bulimia?

@whoneedslight: I'm with you there. He may be half the man testicularly but he's twice the man in the height dept.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@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.

Dear Padma,

I write novels too! None of them have been, you know, published or, um... even finished but... give a guy a break!

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?

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.

Sadly, there is a whole lotta ugly going on in Miami. Though, that Sandee was a pretty good looking fellow.
