The first response tom had when he told about diet coke and he buys from small farmers was fine. Elia should have shut her mouth afterwards but just kept digging herself a hole and tom did what anyone would have done, he shut her the fuck up.
What BS for TOM C, a millionaire soon not to be. Tom C to just mince words with a first week loser who simply had the gall to criticize him. Nobody or few have an issue that Elia leaving week one-- but Tom...Tom C had to rehash it all on all the final show of the season! How big is his ego? Bravo, through him out.
This was the final show of the season and it should have been about Richard-- shame on them! Tom had to get his points out there-- how petty.
Tom had every right to shut that bitch down. Yes he's big named chef and everything but Elia is just bitter. I understand dale was trying to ease the situation. No one else wanted to talk because they could see Elia digging a bigger hold for herself.
@7Shirafune7 Yes I think he did-- I think he's saying they serve corn-fed beef. I tried to comment on the bravo site but they only post pre-approved messages and they didn't like mine-at least not yet.
@chooseTruth84 If they had seen what all you had posted here, they would've BANNED you from their site. Chef Bryan Caswell, a future judge in TC9, claims that Tom is great. Even spent an afternoon fishing with him. As for Elia, she was obviously bitter about being the first one eliminated and about whatever Tom said to her that night, but that didn't justify her actions. That was wrong. Tom win, Elia lose. Simple as that.
Although, you're right about not liking Cohen. He's a phony douche.
Bonus points for Dale the ONLY chef to stick up for Elia. The ONLY one to try and take the tension out with some clarification. All the other ass-kissing, cowards--afraid they might get picked on too, eh? Afraid they might not get asked back for "top chef brown-nose-Tom-for-a-paycheck," eh? Watch out chefs, that is what losing/selling your soul tastes like. NOTHING Elia said in some written interview (which Tom had plenty of rebuttal too) justifies their treatment of her.
I will never watch Top Chef ever again. I have watched it loyally from the beginning but I will never watch this show again and I will be telling all my peeps TOP CHEF SUCKS AND IS ONLY FOR BULLY-LOVERS. The way Tom acted like a psycho-puke, the way Cohen egged it on, GOOD GRIEF TOM --talk about a BIG BABY !!! How dare they gang up on Elia and for what? She has bigger balls than either Tom and his boyfriend Cohen --bigger balls, more integrity, keeping her cool UNLIKE TOM.

While Elia is describing why Tom is a sellout, Tom is counting his millions saying "ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching!"
Up next for Tom; Top Chef Season 9
Up next for Elia; Playboy (who's the sellout now?)
