Angelo's Russian Fiance
My money is on mail order bride.

How about "Man vs Fashion" for Michael C?

Damn skippy. I hope the triumverate of Ivy, Valerie, and Gretchen goes far enough for the inevitable design stealing argument that eventually happens. I'm calling it now, Gretchen will acuse either Ivy or Valerie of grand theft fashion, my money would be on Ivy.

No way Michael D definately should be called "Sweater Kitten" it's the best nickname for a gay designer on hormornes who does knit-wear. Oh and Michael C does remind me of Adam "MvF" Richman.

Yes, yes I would. I love the bowler, I have one myself, goes great with my suit and walking stick.

New Nicknames for the season.
Here are a few nicknames for the designers I have so far: feel free to add your own.

Glad to see McKell go.
Oh how I was glad to see her go. If there is one thing I can't stand looking at is a malnourish vegan. She totally looks like one of those people who does not understand the concept of a balanced diet. Veganism is an ok choice but for the love of god realize you need many, many different…

I am torn on Peach. She does seem likeable and you always have to root for the old gals. But she's from Lake Forest and totally looks like someone from Lake Forest, which is a total negative. For those who don't know Lake Forest is a suburb of Chicago where the poor people in town make $250,000. It's the town of…

Josh Modell, bravo good sir.
Amen brother, amen! Thank you for saying what I've felt all these years. The only Drew Barrymore scene I can stand is the one where she gets hit in the face with a baseball. Take that you no talent hack living off Hollywood royalty that could act the pants off you.

I love Myq and Tommy, add in Roy Wood Jr. (my second favorite Wood Jr. after Ed) and you have my top three of the bunch. Alas I fear that none of them will be the Last Comic Standing. (A previous commentator noted there is a reason it is not called Funniest Comic Standing).
I truly fear that Mike "contractually…

Gangbang
Did anyone else laugh at the unintentional double entendre of Felipe's joke about gangbanging on the internet? I was like "where is he going with this" and "that's actually not that new." Too bad it was a horrible joke.

My thoughts
I too was confused about the number of contestants moving on to the next round. When I thought two were going home I was giddy that either DeStefano or Esparza would be going home. And then suddenly it is six contestants moving on. I'd like to call conspiracy since I always thought Mike and Felipe were…

@ Awesome Brain Powers
Thanks for the heads up on the blog, never bothered going to the Top Chef website before. It definately is a handy resource to get into a judge's head.

Good points fellow commentators. But while "in theory" the best chefs would not have to use gamesmanship; it does not appear that is happening. Whatever you may think about Angelo, he knows how to cook, but that doesn't stop him from "playing the game," probably because "he did not come here to make friends."

Angelo is the anti-Richard Hatch
I love how every time Angelo tries to sabotage Kenny with gamesmenship, it never works out. Giving him the last and strongest contestent in the initial elimination challenge, putting Kenny and Ed on his team when he has immunity, and finally putting Kenny up for elimination tonight.
In…
