What is it with chefs on cooking shows owning the worst bitch faces I have ever seen?
If we had an all star bitch face-off, I'm not sure who would win.
And in the right corner, we have Matt from Hell's Kitchen.
Bitch face in the morning.
Bitch face when he's whining.
Bitch face EVEN when he's happy.
And in left corner, we have Lisa from Top Chef.
Bitch face when she's angry.
Bitch face when she's happy.
Bitch face... oh wait. I don't think that's bitch face. I think that might just be her real face.
Let's wait a moment while the judges confer...
...
...
And we have an official announcement.
Well, this is sad. Lisa has been disqualified from this Bitch Face-off because in fact, her always face is a bitch face. Unfortunate... for her, and those of us who have to watch her... but sadly it means she may not, under the rules of the Confederation of the Bitch Face Society of America compete in this contest.
And so the win, for biggest reality cooking tv show bitch face goes to the only man left standing Matt.
On to Top Chef for this evening...
Review of last week... Spike calls Dale a bitch.
How annoying! Shut up, Spike!
What does Spike know about... oh, wait, I forgot about his "bromance" with Mark. Maybe he does know about bitches.
I withdraw my complaint.
Oh, yay! It's Sam.
I was unaccountably excited to see him guest-judge on the show, seeing as he wasn't really my favorite on Season 2. I'm not saying I didn't like him, but meh.
And they are going to make SALAD... woot?
Man, for all that Stephanie is able to whoop up in the Elimination Challenges (sometimes) she just cannot win the QuickFire challenges.
So, Sammy chose Spike to win, huh? Boo.
The salad looked good, but it was Spike, so boo.
Spike's "bonus" is that he gets 10 extra minutes at Whole Foods and whatever his main ingredients are, the others can't use them. So, being that Spike is a douchebag, he chooses ingredients that will screw the others over (rather than choosing ingredients that might make a good dish). But if he had chosen based on taste this show might be about cooking, rather than strategy and that just doesn't gel in Spike's itty-bitty brain.
And then, there's the cooking.
Spike is mocking Richard. Boo Spike. Yay Richard.
Don't hold everyone else to your standards Spike. We can't all be douchebags in hats.
It comes down to Stephanie and Dale in the top spots.
Yay for Stephanie being back on top.
I'm not sorry Dales there, but I have to say Dale's attitude the last few weeks has been wearing on me a little. Lighten up, dude. Smile, just once.
I mean you get to call bitch-face Lisa in to the losers room, can't you just be happy with that?
Ah, the losers.
Spike... have I mentioned boo already? I was kind of hoping his royal-tooliness would be sent home already. He argues with Tommy-boy about the combination of olives and grapes and actually says, "well, that's your opinion" It's all opinion dumbass. It's cooking. It's all subjective. That's why velveeta and lutefisk and other weird foodstuffs even exist, someone, somewhere thinks they taste good.
Lisa, ah bitch face... I can't even hear what she's saying her bitch face is so loud. I think she just threw Andrew under the bus though, he's giving her the laser eyes.
Andrew... sorry you had to go. I liked your intensity, in spite of the fact that you used the words culinary boner, together, in the same sentence. Yuck. I was hoping one of the other two would go away instead. Oh well.

Final Three
American Idol
David A.
First Song: Good, but good Lord it bored me to tears.
Second Song: I actually liked him with this song. It was pretty obvious that he was actually having fun singing it, instead of just being chained down by all this older music that really isn't his thing (personally, I don't mean musically).
Third Song: Is it really any surprise that the producers chose some sappy, ballady drivel for him to sing? This is why I appreciated what he did in round 2. Something different. He's a good singer, but we don't need to hear another ballad every week.
Syesha
First Song: Well sung, but how was that different from the Alicia Keys version? It wasn't. So way to be a copycat Syesha. Laaaaame.
Second Song: Does she even want to make it to the finals? Why the hell would she sing that song in the Final Three on American Idol? Simon was spot on, it was hideous cabaret.
Third Song: Hmm... that was horrible. The question is, is that good news or bad news. People might sympathy vote her now, because it was so awful. She SO does not deserve to be in the final.
David C.
First Song: Pretty good stuff. I liked how it built at the end.
Second Song: Randy was right. It was a little pitchy. But, fuck that, it was also AWESOME! I really enjoyed the way it built to the end. I was pretty down with that song.
Third Song: They chose Aerosmith for him, huh? It definitely suits the tone of his voice. It's unfortunate that they didn't pick a song he could re-invent, since this song is sort of already in his style, but still he rocked it out. LOVE HIM!
Overall, tonight was pretty much what I expected. David C was my fave. David A was good. Syesha is lucky to have made it this far.
Hopefully, we'll see both David's into the finals.
Hell's Kitchen
Man, even when that guy is happy, Matt has the worst kind of bitch face.
I can't believe Roseanne has lasted this long. She doesn't cook very well, if she sends out raw seafood more than once.
Jen pouted her way through service. Ramsay got fed up with her wah-wah and told her to shut it, so she sulked the rest of the night. Dude, you've got to get over it. He yells at everyone. Just get the job done.
Man, Ramsay is not a fan of Ben. But, I kind of agree with him, Ben is lame. He just loves to bitch and moan, but I haven't seen that he's anywhere a decent enough cook to talk the way he does.
So, I guess that's why he went bye-bye.
Here's what I don't understand, how is it strategic for Ben to offer to nominate himself. Let's face it pal, Ramsay called you out more than anybody else tonight. Plus, he's never really been a fan of you anyway. If you go up there at all you have to know there is a good chance you are going home. So, see ya!

Top Four
American Idol
David Cook
1st performance - liked it, didn't love it
2nd performance - loved it... he's so my favorite. Yay DC.
Syesha
1st performance - very screamy. totally agreed with Simon
2nd performance - boring and yucky
She annoys me. Not. a. fan.
She'll probably get through to the next round because she cried. Stupid tears.
Jason Castro
1st performance - I'm not familiar with Bob Marley, so I wasn't offended by it like Simon and Randy.
2nd performance - didn't hate it, didn't love it. He totally forgot the words though... ha!
David A.
1st performance - I love Stand by me. I thought it was a good performance, but I didn't love the way he switched up the song.
2nd performance - He totally rocked this performance. Okay, whatever Archuleta love has been drained away over the last few weeks has been restored. Loved it!!!!!!!
Bottom two: Syesha and Jason Castro -- I will be surprised if it is one of the Davids. I will be surprised if one of the Davids doesn't win AI.
Hell's Kitchen
So, apparently Corey is a bitch and a slut. Even if she successfully "targets" Louross, what does she expect to get out of him? It's a cooking show. There are no secret plans or plots. There are no alliances, really. There is no information to get out of the boys. AND she made remark about Shayna's weight. Fuck off Corey.
Matt has the worst kind of bitch face.
Kudos to Bobby for stepping up to the plate to avert disaster. Wow. That maybe the first time the "four-star general" has actually lived up to his name and acted the leader.
Bye Shayna. I couldn't pick you out of a line-up as actually being on this show. Hope you enjoy life at home with your baby.

Idol's Kitchen
American Idol
What a weird show.
It felt really fast and hurried. I think Ryan Seacrest's head was about to explode trying to keep the show on track.
Paula is, literally I think, on crack.
She thought Jason Castro sang twice after the first round of songs? She was pre-reviewing his song?
Okay, whatever you say, lady.
Jason was solid, if (as Simon says) a little forgettable.
David Cook was just okay in the first song, but totally kicked the second songs ass. Loved it, loved it. Might download it... we'll see.
Brooke saved herself with the second song. I was cringing a little bit during the first one, almost hoping that she would get kicked off just so I wouldn't have to feel her pain next week. But the second song totally reminded me of why I like Brooke in the first place. Yay!
David A... listen I love this kid, but I don't think that this was his week. The thing is that he sang two very recognizable Neil Diamond songs, and he sang them pretty much the same way. With most other artists I wouldn't be able to say this, but I just didn't feel the richness in David's voice that I hear in Neil Diamond's. It just wasn't that great for me.
Syesha. Does anyone think that she is as great as she thinks she is? She has decent vocals, but is SO boring!
Hell's Kitchen
Roseann's dream is to ride in a helicopter? Dream big, sweetie! Seriously, there hasn't been an opportunity to ride in a helicopter in all your 33 years before now? That makes me sad... for you. Just for a moment though. I'm done now.
Plus, her tap-tap-tap-a-roo made me laugh. Ramsay is ruthless sometimes.
I was pretty neutral towards Ben in the beginning of the season, but methinks he is kind of a jackass.
The men are just kind of a mess.... ooh but so are the women.
I can't believe the women put up my girl Christina up for elimination! Bitches!
Every time I think the women are going to be able to pull it together and just whoop up on the men, they pull these moments of absolute bitchery.
She is not the worst cook in the women's kitchen, by a long shot.
I can't believe Jen is such a back-stabber. She is now officially on my list of women who suck on Hell's Kitchen... along with Cory (the annoying) and Rosanne (the whiny).
HK better hope that Christina doesn't go home soon, she's the only one I would go so far as to say I like thus far.

Think of me...
American Idol
Syesha - Who? I refuse to acknowledge that she exists.
Jason - After reading Ash's blog before I watched I thought he would be horrible. Maybe it's because I don't know the song he sang, but I didn't hate it. I didn't love it by any means, but it wasn't that horrible. Also, I'm inclined to give him a break because Andrew Lloyd Webber is clearly not his genre.
Brooke - Poor, poor Brooke. Our little bundle of sunshine may not be long for this show, which is too bad. Watching her get voted off is like sending away an orphan child's beloved puppy... sad, sad, sad.
David A. - Not bad, but mostly just made me want to listen to the real version of Think of Me, which is one of my fave Phantom songs.
Carly - My heart clutched when Carly "threatened" to sing All I Ask of You... I'd say one of my fave Phantom sings, but really they are all my faves. I love Phantom. I've seen it twice and it's truly beautiful music.... Thank the Lord, she passed on to Jesus Christ Superstar, a song I don't like that much anyway. Butcher away Carly, butcher away.
David C - I love you. He didn't even try to rock it out, he just flat out sang it. I love it that my boy proved that he can just straight up sing, not just rock, but anything.
Get ready folks, I think it's going to come down to David v. David.
Booyah!
Hell's Kitchen
Cory is lame.
I'm going to let her in on a little secret.
Tattling doesn't mean the girls are threatened by you.
It means that they are annoyed that you acted like a selfish ho bag and went to bed before the cleaning was done. So, shut it already.
Family Night at Hell's Kitchen... what a bad idea.
I love, love Gordon Ramsay, but dude has a potty mouth!
Potty mouth + kids = Awkward
Normally I love his bleeping mouth, but I just kept hoping that the kids couldn't hear him.
Yay, the ladies won! Even if that means Cory is going to be sticking around for another week
I loved the elimination part.
Ben promises to give 100% if he stays.
Matt promises to give 125% if he stays. Way to one up him... well you sold me.
Craig says "I don't know percentages, but I'll give you over that."
Um... okay, so you can't just pick a number greater than 125?
Ha, funny dude.
Bye, Craig.
You were incompetent, so I can't really feel bad for you.
You can't break down a chicken or cook pasta or "know percentages"... *sigh* this is going to be a long list, maybe it would be easier if you tell us what you can do. Plus, you were kind of a whiny, defensive bitch, so see ya.

Ding-dong the pig is gone
American Idol
Before I get to this week, a moment about last week. Michael Johns getting kicked off the show was complete bullshit. He is a far better singer than many of those still left on the show (Carly, Syesha, Kristi Lee Cook, even Jason Castro and maybe Brooke, I'm looking at you!) Hopefully he goes on to bigger things because he was way better than 8th. It's really sad to think that he'll always have to live with the fact he was kicked off before Kristi Lee Cook. Sigh. Poor Michael Johns. I'd at least consider buying your album, Buddy. And Ryan Seacrest, try not to be such a dick next time you kick some one off. You were just mean!
Tonight was Mariah Carey night. Not a big fan of hers, but it wasn't too bad a night considering.
David A - was good. He's always good. But he didn't kill me. I didn't want to run out and buy it or anything. But still, he IS cute as a button.
Carly and Syesha back to back? Yuck!
Carly didn't hit the big notes at all. She was singing, but she wasn't really giving it her all. I don't like her anyway though. The judges liked Syesha, but frankly, she felt a little scream-y to me.
Surprisingly, I actually dug Kristi Lee Cook's performance tonight. Not enough to make me a fan, but I liked it better than the judges did.
Brooke, Brooke, Brooke... I love her. She's a little package of happiness, but I didn't really like this performance that much. I even like the song Hero. Maybe that's why I didn't like this performance. I liked the way she did it, but I didn't think the vocals were good enough.
David Cook is my favorite. I honestly think he would make the best American Idol, if the American Idol should be the one who is most likely to make it as a singer. I can see myself buying a David Cook album. In fact, I probably will buy a David Cook album. I love David A, too. But, I'm not sure what kind of album he would make and I would really have to like it to buy it. He's ten ways of adorable, but I'm not sure about the album he would make.
On a side note about David C, his brother who has brain cancer was in the audience tonight. When David C teared up, I can admit it got to me a little. You had me at brain cancer...
Don't really remember Jason Castro's performance. I remember thinking it was mildly pleasant at the time. Definitely liked it better than Carly, Syesha or KLC. Meh.
Hell's Kitchen!!!!
Have I mentioned that I love Gordon Ramsay? Cause I do.
Moving up on my list of people? Christina. I love it that she actually nominated the weakest link instead of Corey. It was a grown-up decision. If Corey want to play in the dirt on the playground, let her. Christina is better than that.
Ah, the chicken challenge. If they had actually killed those chickens I would have had to become a vegetarian. That would suck, so I'm really glad they didn't.
The challenge they had made me laugh though.
I kept thinking if Hung were on Hell's Kitchen he would have kicked all these amateurs asses. Five minutes to butcher a chicken? Hung would have broken down that chicken... perfectly I might add... in about 30 seconds.
I think in a head to head competition, Top Chef would kick Hell's Kitchen's ass. Not Gordon Ramsay's mind you, but Hung would be out cooking all these suckers like nobody's business.
Now, I've saved the best for last. The pig is gone. I was ready to throw things at the television every time that stupid, sexist, tub of lard opened his mouth. I was so sick of hearing all his junk. Buh-bye loser! Man, I didn't even realize dudes like that still existed. I mean I knew, but I thought they were smart enough to not come on national television with their men are far superior than women crap. And just so we're all clear, it is a bunch of crap!
Yay! I am so glad he's gone! It makes me so much happier to watch Hell's Kitchen next week!
All Gordon Ramsay, no sexist pig to detract from my mad Ramsay love! :)

Decompression
American Idol
Tonight was inspiration night on American Idol, but it was only okay for me.
David A was amazing as always. I have to admit, I'm not as in love with him as I used to be. I still love him, don't get me wrong. Tonight was another great performance. But, I'm okay with him being on the show, as opposed to keeping him in my pocket so I can pull him out to sing for me whenever I need a dose of adorable.
I thought Michael Johns was better than they gave him credit for.
I love that version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and I enjoyed Jason Castro's performance. Sorry Ash, but I dig him.
David Cook was a disappointment this week, but I still love him. He's the only one who's inspired me to buy his songs off of iTunes. Yep, that's right I bought Eleanor Rigby, Billie Jean and Hello. Michael Johns inspired me to buy songs, too, but I just bought the original versions instead of his versions (Bohemian Rhapsody and Dream On).
Syesha, Carly and Kristy Lee Cook can just go away now. They are boring. In a way, I feel sorry for Carly. She has a decent voice, if she didn't just reek of desperation (and hadn't sang the wrong words to Come Together) I might have liked her, but probably not.
Hell's Kitchen
I hate Jason. He's a sexist pig.
I love Gordon Ramsay, but if that sexist pig wins this show I'm going to have to stop watching. Maybe.
I may love Gordon Ramsay more than I hate "sous-chef" Jason.
Who am I kidding? I definitely love Gordon Ramsay more than I hate Jason.
Gordon Ramsay is right up there for me with puppies, Christmas and chocolate.
What was with Petrozza? "I'm done. I'm done." Whatever. Shut up. You didn't know how hard this would be? Where did you think you were going? Have you not seen Hell's Kitchen before? Dumbass.
Nice job stepping up, Four-star General Bobby. That's the first thing you've done on this show that makes me think you are not completely worthless.
Ha! Way to fuck yourself over Corey.
I had hope, after last week, that the women could come out and kick the tar out of the men (especially Jason.... have I mentioned I hate him?)
But after that display of complete and total bitchery, my team loyalty may depend on how long Jason sticks around. Although I like Christina so far, so I'm still leaning towards the women.
Tonight was inspiration night on American Idol, but it was only okay for me.
David A was amazing as always. I have to admit, I'm not as in love with him as I used to be. I still love him, don't get me wrong. Tonight was another great performance. But, I'm okay with him being on the show, as opposed to keeping him in my pocket so I can pull him out to sing for me whenever I need a dose of adorable.

Formerly a Hater
I used to hate reality tv. I still do in a way. I won't watch Survivor or Big Brother.
I've made an exception for food related reality programs (Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen) and there was nothing better on this year, so we've been watching American Idol. (Totally a stretch, but I still have my principals here, people!)
American Idol
Mostly a boring evening, I wasn't even that impressed with the best performances. I probably won't buy any of this weeks performances on iTunes.
I totally called Syesha butchering "I Will Always Love You"
It's an awesome, awesome song, but when you sing it you will be compared to Dolly and Whitney. That's just a given, and that is almost never going to be a flattering comparison.
I totally LOVE Dolly Parton though.
If Nonnie (my grandmother) had been a country star, she would have been a lot like Dolly Parton.
She just has that wonderful Southern way about her.
There were the real compliments (David A)
There were the Southern-not-really-a-compliments (Kristy Lee Cook) ("Well, she made it her own" ha... so not a compliment)
Ha! She was awesome!
Hell's Kitchen
I love Gordon Ramsay.
I love watching him run around and yell at everything in sight.
He even threw chicken tonight! HA!
One of the guys is a total jerk he said apprx "I'm not going to lose to the women. The only thing I might lose to a woman is an ironing contest."
One of the guys is totally delusional "He may be the captain, but I'm a four-star general. To me, he's just a private"
Um... okay, crack baby, whatever you say!
Jeff and I were giggling like crazy through the entire episode.
It's funny. We watch Top Chef together too and it doesn't affect us like this, but we can't help but laugh during HK.
On a personal note...
The treadmill totally kicked my ass tonight. All things in balance I guess. I finished it, so I guess I have that going for me, but Thursday had better go better than tonight did. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Tats again! :0)
