Jaimie needs to move beyond scallops, but prior to that, she executes very well and always just shy of winning. In this competition, that level of consistency will get you far. However, her pissing and moaning because someone else winds is juvenile. You're not at judges table, ####.
Josea is beginning to hit a stride.
Chef Dildo has vision, but his execution is sporadic.
Top Chef greatly rewards creativity, but drastically punishes poor execution. However, all things being equal, they tend to send leave the chef who tried something great, but didn't execute. But that chef better execute next time. The judges generally have a memory and will boot someone based previous performances. I don't think they did it to Eugene because, like my wife, I think Padma has a crush on him.

i thought of it as a general rebuke on Tom's part.... "You're killing us this season with your weak ### food, dummies..."

There aren't many chefs that strike me as "Top Chef" material.Stefan is the cream of the crop and is getting the "bad guy" edit this season. That person has made it to the finals in each of the last 3 seasons (Marcel, Hung and Lisa). Jaimie and Fabio seem to be around for a while but I doubt that both will make the final. Radhika, Leah, and Arianne are in the next tier. Pleased with the Toby Young addition. I'll miss Gail's babyfeeders though.TexanFan02 said:

I think you are missing the winner. I've got Jeff taking this thing, but he could certainly get Tre-ed out during restaurant wars. He makes it thru that then he's done.This new judge is a total hack. Or else he felt uncomfortable on TV for the first?!? time. Hopefully he brings something better next time around. They tipped the QF winner this last week and have already tipped the QF winner next week. Takes a lot of suspense out of it.

Jamie was so annoying with her "Finally!" bull#### after she won. Like she was entitled.

I think Jeff's downfall will be the fact that he cares more about impressing the judges with the amount of work he's doing than by making good food. I mean, I'm sure he wants the food to be great, but all I ever hear him talk about is how he hopes the judges see all the work he's doing.

Plain Jane saying she wanted her personality to "show through" in her dish was priceless.
I bet she is a demon in the sack though.

The way I rank them
Top tier
Jeff - Cut from the Hung mold. May try to do too much, but has had a super high hit %. If he goes out it's in a team challenge.
Stephan - Got enough to call back on that he won't have to reach for anything. Near mortal lock for finals.
Hosea - Still has enough cooking contest experience to fall back on in touch challenges. Think he can make finals fairly easily.
Second tier
Jamie - Bravo is the GLBT channel and they feature their only GLBT remaining contestant a lot. This may help her stick around, but ultimately she might get hung doing too much. Doesn't have the range needed for the late contests.
Ariane - People keep wanting to label her a catering hack, but she's clearly got something going for her in execution.
Rad - They didn't have time to properly articulate just how horrible her EC dish was last night. Still seems to be one that could hang around late but eventually gets hung trying to push her stuff too far.
Third
Fabio - He's now made a good ravioli and a MG Olive. Time is running out for him.
Carla - I'll miss her comments. More Carla and less Jamie next week. Please.
Leah - She's crumbled faster than the Cowboys down the stretch. Can't remember anything memorable out of her in weeks now. Looks worn out.

I have not been giving this cougar enough credit, clearly. She's been consistently near the top for a while now. She just doesn't have that winner look to her, in my opinion.

I agree on Ariane.I also have a hard time believing they aren't underselling Leah. She's basically aping all of Batali's dishes from Babbo (Centro Vinoteca is an offshoot of it run by his former #2) in one form or another so I have a hard time believing they aren't good and she's won as many challenges (3) as people like Stefan.

Ariane's good performances have all been based on solid execution. Perfectly cooked turkey, perfectly cooked lamb, perfectly cooked skate. At some point, I think lack of creativity will be her downfall. But she's performed well after a very shaky start.Toby Young's debut was pretty poor. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that the editors picked out the trying-to-be-way-too-clever comments in order to define his personality. His disagreement w/ the other judges on some of the dishes could be a positive sign going forward.
