But I couldn't ...Well, I found it entertaining. But I couldn't bring myself to recap it, since it amounted to "this person is like this" and "this person is MORE like this." And I can't make hay out of that.<br /><br />That said, I did like it.<br /><br />But Marcel is a bigger schmuck than I had thought he was back then. And that's saying something.<br /><br />Plus, there's this whole ethic of "it should be about the food" which I sense from (let's say the majority of) the cheftestants who have been on the show.<br /><br />Yea for them for that. But it's NOT why I watch. Yes, the food's grand. But I can't taste it and I CERTAINLY can't cook it. It's the personal drama around the food that keeps me watching. And if these people don't get that they're on a reality show, they really shouldn't have signed on.<br /><br />That's one reason I wouldn't go on one myself, since I know I'd have to deal with that stuff and I wouldn't want to.Cliff O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547118156848067800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768432491842996795.post-61170957168334244162009-11-06T09:13:18.423-05:002009-11-06T09:13:18.423-05:00Deirdre, from what I've read around the intern...Deirdre, from what I've read around the internet, it sounds like you and I are in the minority!<br /><br />I agree with all of you, though. An AllStars competition would be great to watch. Though maybe not easy to recruit, given everybody's reaction to the knife block. It might be Blais vs. Blais. He's the only one who seems that excited about the competition.Kit Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325742818502163891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768432491842996795.post-11084072120454781712009-11-05T23:07:25.064-05:002009-11-05T23:07:25.064-05:00Also,

I love to hear what old TC favorites are up to and I feel that they all got a good amount of screen time.<br />Personally, I wish it would have been longer. I DO wonder where some of the others "finalists" (I get that that was the them) like Dave, Sam, Stephanie were....<br />But, maybe they realized that 1 hour (with commericials) is just not enough time to cram everything in.<br />Thought Fabio did an awesome job and liked that he called people on their BS of how it was such a "drudgery" to bring up past tv drama....Deirdrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768432491842996795.post-26221030120570462382009-11-05T17:51:13.416-05:002009-11-05T17:51:13.416-05:00I agree, the special was so boring that I turned i...I agree, the special was so boring that I turned it off with 15 minutes left to go.
