Both Padma and Tom are so utterly humorless. They have no chemistry with each other, they have no chemistry with the contestants - could not even compare to Project Runway. To me Padma adds nothing to the show other than some eye candy; her slow, spaced out, monotone voice is horrible for TV. I would watch Next Food Network Star over this any day.</p> I don’t get Top Chef. Both Padma and Tom are so utterly humorless.

I'm the worst keyboardist in the whole world, coming from the gen that was told in college always to pretend not to be able to type, and I made sure I'd never have to pretend-- so I usually blame myself for things like that. You have given me a measure of self worth that I could not have found within myself.</p> Thanks, SM Intern!

Padma was WAAAY too dramatic about the spitting out part. She acted so traumatized. Geez, it was just sweet. It wasn’t one of those lobster watermelon with gorgonzola and veal raviolis or whatever. I’ve seen her eat weirder stuff out there.

Anyway, Padma’s jewelery was forgettable in this show. She’s usually got the best accessories!!

Anna, I’m not offended, I was so giggled, you know, by your original metphor, that this led to my thinking much like poor sallu, and now I looked at Gawker again, as I find myself doing these days, and they crystallized the napkin moment too.

Best person? I’m sure she’s a lovely person, and she may be the best looking person, but I hope that’s not true. I haven’t met her though, maybe she saves starving orphan kittens from trees in her spare time and deserves that title.

Radhika’s problem is her reluctance to get brown. ITA with your point about how she should stick with it. I doubt that the judges would ding her for it!

i wish we could see out-takes from judge’s table because it seems like tom’s influence is heavy. bravo should make that available…anyway, jill going home this week is good for our girl; she’ll be out of the gutter for one more week because ariane can’t last.

That would be fun to see. :) And thank you for making that excellent point– maybe I’ll get TWO more blog posts out of this. ;)
