sevenswellsFINALLY!! FINALLY, it's back! With a gay Ken doll host, Christina Hendricks kyaaaaah (<3 <3 <3) and Ruth Reichl; Susur Lee will be making an appearance too, also INSECTS! I am excite!
-Good lord the quickfire challenge from hell! Sardines and dragon fruit! Corned beef and marshmallows! Liquorice and peanut butter! I don't even know how they made any of these work, all of it sounds pretty disgusting!
-Holy crap restaurant wars right on the first episode?! That's brutal! Those guys are totally not kidding!
-HAHAHA Traci Des Jardins as front of the house! I'm sure she's an outstanding chef, but she looks like a witch from a Disney movie! She said it wasn't her comfort zone, and I'm being uncharitable, but I can understand why O___o It looked like it literally hurt when she smiled to the judges -- must be facial muscles she doesn't use that often. I like her, though, she reminds me a bit of Stéphanie Le Quéllec, my favourite candidate in Top Chef France: social skills of a deaf rhino, but in the kitchen she becomes a goddess. I love the bromance (I can't call it any other way, I mean those ladies have travelled through friggin' Mongolia together! How badass is that?) she has with her friend Mary-Sue, too. I hope we'll get more of it in the weeks to come!
-Suvir Saran with his "good looks and eloquence" line won me over, and I find him kind of cute rambling all day about "masters do this" and "masters do that". He's awkward, and I'm all for awkward!
-No French chefs this time? Aw, shame. é___è I'm gonna miss that, and Jay Rayner's presence at the judging table, definitely. I'm sure Jay would have acted like a total fanboy around Ruth! Good thing that they finally got Indian cuisine chefs, though. It also fills the "funny accents" quota, I suppose XD
-HAHAHA the guy with the single eyebrow made me die of laughter with his "unusually large scallops". I know, I have to get my mind out of the gutter sometimes, but it has so much fun in there!
And the comments of the judges! "OMG it's a MONSTER SCALLOP!" "Hugh's scallop is intensely salty"
It figured he would get eliminated; dishes that are too salty on Top Chef, never mind TCM, are like a major offence, there's no coming back from it.
-OMG did I really see INSECTS in the preview?? FANTASTIC! I've ALWAYS wanted to eat dishes based on insects' protein; I love weird food, so this intrigues me a lot.
-I've just finished watching the episode and I already want MOAR!!! Why is next Friday not here already?? Come ooooooon I need my fix!
-Finally:
Wheeee!!! \o/ *on crack*
By the way, the most recent episode of South Park has KILLED ME DEAD (here's a streaming link: http://loombo.com/sr/dg0pognmw8vb ). THIS IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE, RIGHT THERE (well, not the shakeweights part, though, for the simple reason they don't sell those in France XD)
