Ilan wins Top Chef?

Did Food & Wine magazine spill it?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16894186/

According to MSNBC, apparently Food & Wine had a profile of Ilan on their website. In addition, Ilan's myspace.com page talked about his windfall & quitting his restaurant.

Here's the question - will I still watch Top Chef?

Heck Yeah!

I suggest you do too! The drama will be great!

Top Chef - Pre-finale show

Don't know if it is the bad chocolate milk I drank this morning or the 2nd to last episode of Top Chef that has left a bad taste in my mouth.

I watched my DVR'd episode this morning before coming into work. I'm not a big Marcel fan, simply because he is way too cocky, but he was definitely more mature than the other contestants when the sore losers started to complain about him "cheating". You know, nothing screams sore loser bigger than trying to make other people's fault bigger than your own.

Ilia didn't follow the instructions. What was calling Marcel out going to do? Were the judges going to say, "Oh, ok. If you say so Ilia. Marcel's cooking now officially sucks, while yours was better since you didn't cheat." I honestly feel like she was pressured to say it by Sam & Ilan, but ultimately, it was her that spoke up. Her pot coming off of the burner would not change the way her dishes didn't taste Hawaiian.

Ultimately, Ilan & Marcel go to the finale. I'm cheering for Ilan because I like his personality better, but if Marcel pulls out all of the stops like he did in this last episode, he may win. The finale will be really interesting, especially if they bring back eliminated chefs, like they did last season.

Top Chef - Must watch show!

Heroes Summary DVD - Disappointing

If you plan to rent the Heroes Season Summary DVD from Netflix...don't.

Netflix says it is 1 hour long. It's not. It gives a brief synopsis of each character, while leaving out a few.

It was something nice to check out if there were nothing else to watch on TV, but if you have to rent it...not worth it. Check out the streaming eps from NBC.com.

DVR let me down...again!! T.T

OK. I haven't figured out why my DVR won't record Nip/Tuck, even though I have it on a Season Pass as well as it being #1 in my priority queue...but that's OK. Nip/Tuck is on FX, which means they will air the show again sometime again during the week. However, my DVR has now officially ticked me off!

I started watching Heroes a few weeks ago. You would know the series would take a LONG hiatus before showing new episodes. So I'm trying to catch up on the nbc.com website, which thankfully is sharing the first 11 eps. So I was very excited knowing that a new episode would be on this week. I don't have time to watch TV on Monday, so I was looking forward to watching it Tuesday, my day off. Couldn't watch it Tuesday morning because I had a sick child at home who begged to watch SpongeBob. I had OT scheduled at work for the afternoon/evening, so I knew I would need to catch the episode that night before I returned to work on Wednesday & the people I work with ruin it for me. Well, checked the DVR last night & NO HEROES!!!!!!

OK, something is going to have to done about this. I'm not looking too forward to catching this ep on the net. I have the season summary DVD listed on Netflix being sent to me. Hopefully that will hold me over until I get the chance to go on the internet.

Holy Smoke! Too long for new blog...

Why is it I never think to do this blog until I'm at work & my brain is so fried I can't work any longer. I'll be leaving soon, so hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things when I get home.

I've been sick for the past 4 weeks -- hopefully I've learned my lesson about avoiding the doctor. I ended up with bruised ribs & a pulled muscle from coughing so much. It's been interesting trying to sit at a desk all day....oh well.

OK -- time to go home, but at least I have another blog entry...as pathetic as it is. Ciao!
