Top Chef for misanthropes

I am usually more or less in sync with the zeitgeist of comments, but I really dislike Gail and I really like Padma.

wines that come available in that size are most useful for stripping varnish.

That's what I thought, so I'll stop pretending otherwise. Thanks for giving it to me straight, Sr. VanDerTurf.

She's playing fast and loose with syntax, it seems!

She could have been sucking up to a female captain, but she isn't, so my statement holds true. I didn't speak to the reasons that she desperately vying for Holt's approval, merely that she is doing so, nor did I preclude the possibility that she would act the same with a female captain. Fill in the blanks how you

I really don't think I spoke to her motivation for this desperate need for approval, merely that it existed.

Yeah, I didn't ever give a reason for her wanting to be defined by him. I merely noted that a trope of a woman needing to be defined by a man is overplayed/pathetic, and this raised some ire.

I didn't say she was defined by any or even every man, but rather a man (Holt) in particular. It was a throwaway observation, one noted by myself and my apparently feminazi compatriots (who are anything but….I think?).

I know that's how you view things…..I read the reviews. This was in part a response to your characterisation of her role in the show.

I feel sad Disqus eats comments, Scotty and I had a nice little repertoire there, but happy that your comment supplanted it.

I though hating everything was a requisite to AV Club membership.

So many zingers on this show.

Nooooooo….I mean yessssssssss

Fly to Montreal. Check into a classy hotel. Bone a stranger.

You mean THE fucking shit.

For every hate, there's a hater of the hate. Can't we all just hate in peace?

Submissive women are your thing I guess then eh?

You're my momentary hero for not even including sniveling Santiago on this list.

What's the matter with a grudge? Suddenly my whole life seems meaningless…
