Top Chef Season 7, Ep. 5: Frightening Confessionals, Alpha Males, and our Favorite Chef

RECAP

July 16, 2010


 

Top Chef is up to its old tricks again, trying to get us to like it by showing us those two minute clips in between commercials when we get a glimpse of life in the house: A possible budding romance between Tiffany and Ed (remember the awkward, awesome crush Leah had on Hosea?). A faux sexual relationship between Tamesha and Angelo (who's gay, right?).  Also, Tamesha says that she sees Angelo as a mentor, which just doesn't make sense to us. If you view one of your competitors as a teacher shouldn't you just pack your knives and go? And did you pick up on the fact that Kenny IS "THE ALPHA MALE PRESENCE." Don't forget.  CONT'D

 

 

But it's not working as successfully as it has in the past because this cast is lacking any redeeming qualities. We're particularly fed up with Amanda, not just because she can't cook (and pronounces minestrone, minestrone-ee") but because she reminds us of shit-dumb NYU girls we've finally gotten away from.  Also, their confessionals are increasingly more infuriating as everyone continues to botch the English language.  Maybe a good pool of people for Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader.

Our favorite so far is Kelly, and only because she seems legit enough to have made it onto other seasons, where she would have been a mid-range fan fave. 

 

Props to Eric Ripert for always looking so cool, saying mean things in a charming French accent, and stomaching minestrone-ee soup.
