If someone cooks an utter shit dish, their ass should be on the firing line, regardless of past performance. However, if the other people up there with them are the ones who are there every week, I think a bit more leeway could and should possibly be given.
I agree, this is pretty much how America's Next Top Model does it and it doesn't take away from the drama on that show.

I guess it depends on whether they spend more than 5 seconds in her presence at the judges' table. Anything under 5 seconds may not stand out. Anything more ...

I think it's funny that the arms crossed posture is so negative.
Antonia always has her arms behind her back, as pretty much most of all of them do, Dale was another arm crosser I believe!

For me, it's the arms crossed posture in tandem with the "I just don't give a shit-fuck you all" look she always has on her face.

I wouldn't go anywhere near that far, but her face isn't what I would call unattractive.

The guest judge from last week feels that Richard is the best chef by a wide margin. It's always interesting to read the blogs over at www.bravotv.com . Here's an excerpt from his blog-


I think Richard will be the winner -- to me he is clearly out of the contestants the one with the greater amount of experience conceptual, clarity, and developed technique as well as flavor accuracy by a significant margin. read more >

But the clear winner is once again Gail's tits.
Amen to that!

Sorry guys, but Lisa doesn't care what any of you think about her since none of you poor slobs can afford to eat at her high class joint anyway.

http://www.nydailynews.com/lifestyle...er_standi.html

You've been watching the show and following some of the stuff online?

Lisa: Oh no, I don't read the blogs – you couldn't pay me to read the blogs. I don't want to know what people who can't even afford to eat in my restaurant, let alone know how to cook have to say about me, and the few comments I did read on Eater.com a few weeks back because my job asked me to read 'em. The best they could come up with was that I was ugly.

Go Lisa!

I don't think there's enough make-up or beer in the world to make her a supermodel!

"the few comments I did read on Eater.com"
I bet she was disappointed to find out that site was about food.

That's funny because early on I couldn't remember her name so I'd call her "Fat Kate." She's been my favorite, hopefully she'll win.

Believe me Lisa, I can afford to eat at your restaurant....but why would I want undercooked rice and raw shrimp served with a shitty attitude? Now who is the one who cannot cook?
