I'm a big fan of teaching.

As a vegetarian, however, I don't give a damn about how to clean squid.

As for the yelling at them, seems like a boot camp style format, tear them down, weed out the weak ones, and build them back up at the same time. Heck, I'd start laughing my arse off at the chefs acting like boot camp drill instructors if I were on the show. But being a chef and owning a restaurant isn't a dream of mine, so I don't think I'd be taking it seriously anyway.

Anyone watch the last episode. I loved how Michael and Chris were talking and Chris was saying something about it being great if it was them 2 to the end... then the next day - bam! - Michael nominate Chris! Great strategy. Loved it! And Chris did bug me a bit.

At this point I'm pulling for Elsie and Michael.

I thought it was Michael saying that to Chris. I just loved the look on Chris's face when Michael put him up. I like Elsie, but she gets rattled to easily. I have a feeling it will be Michael and Jessica at the end. I enjoyed Michael's strategy, slamming the other team with lasagna orders. I can't get over Jimmy and Andrew still being there.

I'm rooting for Michael, he's the only one I can see running his own restaurant. I loved that he nominated Chris and I loved Chef Ramsey's little speech about arrogance. (Did you catch the clip for next week when he asks Ralph if he "got the point"?) Not only did Michael eliminate his biggest threat but he seemed to have gained a few favorable points from Chef. Nice.

I also love Jean Phillipe!

I'd be suprised if Michael doesn't win.

Has anyone here seen "Cooking Under Fire" on PBS? I wish I'd heard about it sooner. Instead of Ramsey they've got Ming Tsai and Todd English (people I've heard of before--and Ming kicked some Iron Chef booty earlier this year!).

They're not in a restaurant, but they're cooking their own dishes for famous chefs. Next week they're supposed to be in the kitchen at Todd English's restaurant in NYC.

Totally. I can't quite put my finger on why though.

Just checked tivo and it didn't record anything last night. The website says that next week is a 2 hour episode - so I guess that makes up for it.

Whew! When I saw a new post to this thread I was afraid I missed it last night.

The finale's on tonight (Monday). FOX. 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Mousey Girl · 08-01-2005, 05:39 PM

I want Michael to win. Ralph rubs me the wrong way. It should be interesting with all of the ex-chefs coming in to help.
