Seriously, Top Chef totally *#^@ again this week. WTF!! *SPOILERS*

It's bad enough that Jamie got a free pass the other week when she went to the hospital for her cut (mind you many many others have been cut far worse and worked thru it) but then, that's to that crappy setup they had, got a free pass this week.

They should have forced her out the last round since it was obvious they weren't going to win that dumb-ass tennis contest. Sure Spike's food was crappy but at least he was competing. Instead Jamie gets another free ride. Does she realize this is a cooking show.

Also, I read where the contestants were suppose to have 100 dishes ready for that event and Angelo only serve 20 because of his messed up Mackerel. And yet Richard can't win because he was a few seconds over on time

4. Love this!

Without question reading these blog enteries has been the highlight of my day. Thank you!

That said, who goes on a cooking show if they don't want to cook?! I'm completely over Jamie.

2. Jamie got two free passes & it seems the only thing she cooks is soup!

Jen was one of my favorites & when she got cut (for her mouthiness, imo), I felt like writing a letter to the judges telling them it is the competitors that people tune in to watch; the judges aren't the focus. With that in mind, Padma is starting to get on my nerves. I love Gail; she's pleasant with an understated manner; she realizes that she & the other judges are there for one purpose, not the spotlight.

Jamie won't last much longer; she seems in over her head.

3. We said that about Jamie the first time around and she made it to top 5

She'll coast her way to the top again.
