What’s the opposite of “Want to win a cooking show?”
Last week I said that Stephanie was pick to win this season’s Top Chef, a decision that I’m OK with even though I now realize it should probably be Spike, and not because he seems to have the best assortment of hats. Plus, when you see your pick sitting there on the chopping block you can’t help but feel a little squeamish.
But that is not what I wanted to say this week. No, I wanted to take this particular post to say — for the record — that I HATE Lisa. I hate her stupid eyebrow ring. I hate her Complainy McComplainerson disposition. I hate how dismissive she was of Polish Sausage. I’m sorry, but this is the way I feel.
It should also be noted that I no longer hate Richard because despite his obvious superiority to everyone else in the competition and his desire to often remind us of all of this you have to kind of like a guy who is willing to do a bad Seinfeld impression. Right? Well, maybe. Still, he isn’t as bad as Lisa. She has GOT to go.
Last, I want to let it be known that this week’s episode might be in my top five. It seemed to have everything: twists, turns, deadpan line readings by the Kiwi, more than one team that excelled and teams on the bottom that were equally at fault but for completely different reasons. All that was missing was a Tony Bourdain guest-spot and some general inter-group screaming.

I have to agree with you on both points, Lisa sucks but I was more than happy when I found out that the “I’m doing this for Zoi” lines 8 times an episode are going to stop.
And consider this: Did the editors of the show make Richard out to be the “bad guy” right off the top because there wasn’t a clear cut “bad GUY,”…just b*tchy girls? I’m actually starting to like the dude and I wanted him off the show after the first two weeks.
And consider this: Is something wrong when two college buddies discuss Top Chef with eachother on an internet blog? Hmmm….

I totally agree - I HATE LISA with a passion. I think she is the biggest C*** that I have ever seen on a show or met in person. I can’t stand the way she blames EVERYTHING on everyone else - “Someone sabataged my rice!!!” Screw that- the rest of her dish was undercooked also. Stupid witch. I do have to agreee with Taylor about being thankful that we don’t have to hear,” I’m doing this for Zoi” anymore! Thank God!!! Now, if only they would get rid of Lisa, it would make for better TV. I HATE HER!!!
