They run marathons all the time during weekdays. They just did a Season 3 marathon a couple of days ago. They are going to run the infamous Season 2 marathon this upcoming Thursday.


EDIT: They are also going to marathon all of the episodes from the current season this Wednesday, leading into the new episode at 10 PM.

Do you have a link/instructions on how to get there. I was looking around on the website and all I found were the "behind the scenes" type things, not full episodes.


EDIT: Actually I did find full eps for season 4 but not the other 3.

Bump for "Restaurant Wars". Make sure to watch this episode because it has been one of the most entertaining episodes from past seasons.

I'm amazed that she and Spike have made it to the final 5 and that one of them will be a finalist. Although I truly wanted Lisa to go and her dishes were terrible as usual, Dale's butterscoth scallops looked absolutely disgusting.

I just started watching Top Chef recently and it is insanely addictive.

That said, reading through this thread, it's very obviously missing one thing:







Alright, I'm done.

I was curious about that too, and figured it was just overkill airbrushing and makeup.

I can't help to feel that they kept around a "certain someone" for the sake of the show more than the sake of the competition. I mean, from we've seen, "she" should have no chance in winning!! Sure, Dale was a borderline bitch and he didn't seem quite up to the standard set by previous token Asian chefs like Hung - and his butterscotch scallops did look gnarly. I still think he would have a better chance in the final 4 though then this girl.

I wonder why Padma doesn't dress like the first pic while judging?

I'm glad to see Dale get the boot. I had to when the judges asked who cooked the overly smoky lobster and Dale immediately began pointing at Lisa before she could even own up that it was her dish. What a little turd. Speaking of turds, I think Lisa is one as well.

I'm hoping Richard, Antonia, or Stephanie wins.

None of the losing three deserve to be in the final. Of the three Dale was the (IMO) better cook (and the biggest bitch).

I don't think Dale should have been the one to go (based on season long performance) but I'm glad I don't have to watch the Dale and Richard show at the end.

so the question is, what would you rather eat? Butterscotch scallops or Baby Vomit with wood chips on it?

I have to say, I like RIchard, Steph and Antonia. I would be happy with any one of them winning.

Spike looks like he will round out the 4th. Lisa has been on borrowed time for about 6 eps now.

This woman is a trained chef, and she just simply can't cook, can't take criticism, and most importantly acts like she's never done anything wrong. How is she still there? Granted, the Butterscotch Scallops was a major mistake (anyone see Ramsay's kitchen nightmares with the guy that had chocolate prawns on his menu? LOL), but it's one mistake for him out of how many tries...and Lisa keeps skating on by, bottom of the pack and somehow still there. WTF?

it always seems that a good competitor goes home during restaurant wars. Last year, it was Tre. He seemed to be the favorite, but he was the executive chef for the losing team, and went down for it. i bet that also factored in for Dale.

but yes, Lisa can't cook rice, and then claims sabotage. Sabotage! or was that last week's show? her worthlessness runs together for me.

Btw, I totally agree with you. Both Lisa and Spike deserved to go home way before Dale. I don't recall Spike ever doing anything good the entire season, outside of his butternut squash soup. Has he won a single quickfire or elimination either? They're both shit as cooks, imo, but Dale was the executive chef this week, so, on top of his horrid looking dish, he also took the heat for the overall performance of the team and for failing to put the kibosh on the in-fighting. We saw the same thing last season with Tre, who was also much more talented than some of those who lasted longer, but went home because of one shitty dish he made in an elimination where he also happened to have taken the reigns as executive chef.

I think the producers are aiming for a two woman, one man finale with the hopes a woman can win it. It's one of the shows that hasn't had a female winner yet.

I think this is really it, however I do think that Steph, Antonia, and Richard are going to be the final 3 and think they probably deserve it the most.

Even though she was rather annoying, Tiffany deserved to win Season 1 over Harold. From what I can tell, she seems to be the best chef that has ever been on the show.

I don't know...Dale from last season seems to be one of the best to me, despite losing to Hung. Tiffany should have won, I agree, but the best ever on the show? nahh...
