I'm just about to give up on Top Chef. I don't care about any of the contestants. I think it's possible it's me, not them. Some of them (the one with the fauxhawk, the really tall one, the cocky one, the other cocky one . . . ) seem like they might be dynamic personalities, worth watching and rooting for or against. I still care about food, I think. The judges are still about as trustworthy as they've ever been (ie, less dubious than the crazy poseurs over at crazy Top Design or Tyra and her cadre of confidence men). Something about this show just leaves me flat, though.
Last night, let's see . . . Everyone cried, right? Did I imagine that? Casey bawled and bawled because she was not going to get sent home. There was something kind of amusing the way she twisted "I had immunity and consequently I inflicted an inedible tuna 'bird's nest' on the jury," into "the jury is giving me a guilt trip, and consequently I am going to cry." And then all the other chefs were like, "Oh, yeah. We might be sent home early, but let's comfort bird's nest girl."
Camille got sent home. That seems unfair, because as far as I can tell, she had never previously appeared on the show. Shouldn't they have given her some sort of handicap for that? Also, it was confusing because I thought hot people usually did better on these shows.
