Top Chef catch-up
Nov. 18th, 2012 10:28 pmI finally got to watch this week's episode of Top Chef: Seattle.
( Major spoilers. )
We also have most of Life After Top Chef on the TiVo, but... I don't know. I like Fabio well enough, and Jen, but I've never been too keen on Spike, and I soured quite a bit on Richard during All-Stars. I recently re-watched the Season 4 finale, and I'd forgotten how childish he came off with his whole "I choked" routine during the final Judges Table, when the judges were mostly complimentary about his meal. I didn't really notice at the time, but it seems to me now that he came in expecting to dominate that finale, and when the other chefs also did well, and better in some respects, it threw him off. That's the Richard that was on display during the first episode on Life After, and so I'm not exactly feeling compelled to keep watching.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dagas_isa, any other Top Chef watchers out there, did you see the other episodes? Recommendations, or should we just let them go?
