Beyond Reality - Top Chef Miami 9/19/07

[X0XChesterX0X]

Hung and Casey are the best chef of the show! I'm watching the finale right now...I thought Casey looked like Jennifer Aniston...

[Madrosed]

I guess she does a little lol

[SPQR100]

also 3 seasons is enough of top chef its starting to suck and get boring now me and my girlfriend dont even watch it anymore.

all reality shows start to suck after a few seasons, project runway may still be good because at least you can see new design, regalrdless.

"Padmae, please pack up your things and go"

"Top chef, pack up production and go"

[Madrosed]

I don't know I think Top Chef is still good!

[SPQR100]

yeah i think its just ok now, getting a little boring but whatever could be wrong, have a good one.

[Madrosed]

You too!

[SPQR100]

why do you call Gale puffy, she seems like a real girl who actually knows something about food unlike padme. Is it because she gained a little weight, leave puffy alone shes hot and smart.

Stop with the nyc stuff also based one other comments :), later chicks

[Madrosed]

We're not calling her fat. Her eyes always looked puffy in the first season.

[SPQR100]

lol oh ok i thought you were calling her fat lol, her face i guess looks a little puffy

[Madrosed]

It used to but it doesn't really anymore

[mrboobyhead]

hehe you's are great.. love the videos! :D

[Madrosed]

Thanks so much!

This is Hung's competition to lose. And in regards to your earlier comments, you may call me one of those neandrathals. I am progressive in the sense that women should get an education as a means to protect themselves from abusive mean, but I am pragmatic, and women and men are not equal.

[Madrosed]

Well they should be equal.

[rhapsodyphantom]

The thing about Hung...as you see in that last episode (and previous ones), when he sees other chefs are in need of help, he just ignores them. However when he's criticized, he blames the other chefs for not helping him! lol Hung, Hung Hung...

[Madrosed]

He helps other chefs plate and everything but he doesn't give away his ideas. I don't blame him.

[jetaboveclouds]

I LOVE your intro!!!! Well, I think the French judge was very anti-women.....he loved Casey's dish...but I just feel he was very much old school.....no women can be top chefs. I'm from a French family and I know the drill. It is still a man's world in that restaurant business. I wasn't suprised when he chose Hueng.

[Madrosed]

Thank you so much and yes unfortunately I don't think there will ever be equal rights for women. Even if we did get equal pay - there will always be some neanderthal that still thinks we are less than men. I guess we'll just have to take over the world and let the men think their in charge - kind of like what we do now ;)

[Aslanspal]

This is soooooo totally selfish I want Casey to win so she can do a photo spread in a scantily clad lingerie surrounded by Lobsters as she drops them in a boiling pot one by one as she is peculating herself...I know ...I know totally the wrong reason.

[Madrosed]

Lol - haha - sounds like you have way too much time on your hands - perhaps a hobby would be helpful :) You are just too funny! Much love!

[jesicalea]

I almost choked when you said "which is the lesser of two evils? Dick or Daniele?" LOL

[Madrosed]

Lol!! We just threw that in there but I haven't really had much BB withdrawal though - rehab is going well ;) lol!

[tidq]

Another great video, guys. Good job. I've heard a lot of people say Hung vs. Casey in the finals now, but I'm going against the grain and thinking it'll be Hung vs. Brian. I can just picture Brian preparing the ultimate seafood meal in the final episode. I think Hung is the favorite, but I wonder if winning it all wouldn't inflate his ego too much.

[Madrosed]

Thanks so much - I have to disagree with Brian - his seafood is great and he's pretty good on a single challenge but putting together an entire menu just may be too much for him - and I don't think Hung's ego can get any bigger :)

[YuuuuuKu]

Yay!

Final Four!

I'm so happy you've been covering Top Chef, sadly this season is almost over....It went by so fast...

[Madrosed]

Thanks so much - It did go by pretty quickly - I was hoping Project Runway was going to take over the 10pm timeslot but they are putting another series in first. I guess Runway won't be back before Nov or later :(

[charthos22]

i just can't believe how cool your intro is, it's like a tv show almost! only not.

anyway, i actually forced myself to stay up and watch top chef last night, i'm very proud of myself.. lol

[Madrosed]

Haha thanks - its exactly the same yet different :)

I know sleep has been happening less & less lately - so much homework and events - answering comments has been difficult :( - but I'm finally catching up :) Lol

[charthos22]

yeah! take your time, any reply is better than no reply at all!!!!!!! gosh darn school..

[Madrosed]

Yeah - just trying to get it all done - we just got the new editing program too (Final Cut Express) which is SUPER complicated next to imovie. I'm tired of school already too :)

[charthos22]

oh wow, well you're doing a great job, i wouldn't know it was super complicated! :)

i'm so glad it's the weekend..too bad it's already almost over.

[Madrosed]

We still have one more day to relax lol

[rhapsodyphantom]

Well I was sad to see Sara go. She seems to be a very likable person, but hey.

You could tell by the way they produced the show that they're preparing a Hung (technical skills) vs. Casey (heart & passion) battle.

Dale lost a step in this episode but I still think he's got a chance to be Top Chef. He's a very eloquent and down-to-earth guy.

Brian is lucky he made a good dish in the Elimination challenge...!

AND WHERE IS TRE!? ^_^

[Madrosed]

Sara was a great person - she kinda fell apart under the pressure - Its def gonna be Hung-Casey in the end. Dale is just all around great but I feel like he is feeling the pressure too. Brian is hit or miss and poor Tre's ego made him take on too much

[jedimaster86]

I'm not anti-Hung or anything, but perhaps he may get too cocky for his own good and possibly forget to do something important.

Still, I think I'll also go with Hung and Casey in the final two. I think Brian may be better suited off in some other position that doesn't require the food to look good (or maybe he can just work in the front of a late-night outdoor kitchen on the Vegas strip!). I like Dale, but he may not be able to compete with the expertise of Casey and Hung.

Take it easy.

[Madrosed]

I agree with you about Hung - his overconfidence may come back and bite him in the butt. Final 2 def Casey & Hung and your absolutely right about Dale and Brian. They just aren't detail oriented enough

[tubejop]

I wish you guys had commented about that weird part at the end when they are drinking bubbly and they break out into wild laughter for no apparent reason...

[Madrosed]

Haha - we noticed that - editing is so hard though - we usually go over and usually end up cutting 3 mns worth of stuff :(

[AboveUsOnlySky2]

i think it'll be between Casey and Hung. Maddie, you look incredible, like always =] great job!

[Madrosed]

I agree with you - its gonna be a tough call between those two and thank you so much :)

[kotasHQ]

Everyone remaining is likable enough, but it's obvious that Hung should be the winner. He's been the only real reason to watch this season, especially after Tre's departure.

[Madrosed]

True - I think Hung & Casey are both winner material though for different reasons. Hung for technical but Casey while lacking skills has some awesome ideas
