Top Chef

[logisticslad]

Is anybody else watching this cooking reality show on Bravo? It's not as good as Project Runway, but I find it very addictive. Last week they had two very creative challenges. First the remaining seven contestants had to prepare food inspired by a particular color, and next they had to create a seven course meal with each course inspired by one of the Seven Deadly SIns. It was very cool to see what they came up with (and fun to see Ted Allen from Queer Eye as one of the judges). Because we can't taste the food, it's hard for me to pick a winner, but my pick for top three are Sam, Elia, and Cliff (although Marcel or Ilan could easily replace one of them). I predict that despite his recent win, Mikey will be the next one out.

Me being the reality tv queen that I am (I even watched the Grease show last night *shiver*), I watch Top Chef.

I think the top four will be Sam, Elia, Ilan, and either Cliff or Marcel.

I don't really like either Marcel or Cliff so it's hard for me to choose between the two of them.

Yeah, that's the problem with this show - none of the remaining chefs are that likeable, so it's hard to choose who to root for. Plus, without being able to taste the food, it's hard to judge their talent on one's own. I do think that the judges do a good job of describing what they are seeing and tasting, but still...

We watched a few episodes, but didn't get hooked like we did on Project Runway.
