I've spent all day listening to Donna Summer because of this show. Thanks, Riverdale!

"That was quite a judging panel, with Graham “I’m Too Famous For This” Elliott and Gail Simmons joining Padma and Tom alongside chefs Jonathan “Obi-Wan” Waxman, Daniel Boulud, Martha Ortiz, Not Dana Cowin, Old Paul Giamatti, and a Doobie Brother."

Me too…

I think Josh Segarra is doing a good job on this show, but in a case of an actor being defined by past roles, every time I see him I expect a joke about how big his dick is.

I'll watch this show when they do a Margulies/Panjabi season and not before.

An invisible hat tip to you. Well done.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Gail sees the producers after she's realized that they had a tequila-based challenge and didn't invite her. She's gonna cut someone.

"Somewhere" started playing in my head as soon as Kevin started making eyes at Joaquin. It's so on the nose I assume it will be used when Joaquin is killed and I'll cry.

IT'S FUCKING FANTASTIC TELEVISION! HOW CAN THE AVCLUB NOT RECOGNIZE THAT??

I would just like to register that I think this format of recap has really served Top Chef well and Randall has been superlative at it.

I had the same thought/deeply held wish.

Definitely.

Best guess for who killed Jason…Mr. Cooper. Close enough to the main cast to affect everyone. Motive is there. Keeps Madchen Amick on the show.

Didn't Mac come to the realization that he was gay last season? He still seems to be oblivious here…I don't much care if they just choose to ignore his outing, but I'm half convinced that I made it up.

Season two was announced!

Going back to her Drop Dead Gorgeous roots…

The whole head-to-head format can be saved by simply not announcing immediately who won each course.

Where was Ennis? He, and to a lesser extent Margaret, are the last ones who really need fleshing out.

I wanted that last song to be at least twice as long. That is my only complaint.
