It did???  *sob*  I'm not sure I believe you but I'm going to try!!!  :-)

On RC: I could really do without her giggling as well - drove me nuts!  Wondering if it might veer off into Rachel from Big Brother laughing annoyingness.  NO!!   Something tells me it'll just be the gals on this board who might notice RC's little investment-banker giggle.

Speaking of Top Chef seasons without a female winner, I wonder is anybody going to watch that new thing called something like Life After Top Chef?  With Jen and Spike (could that be ALL???!!!) and of course Fabio playing Carny Barker while he puts his foot in his mouth.  From the previews we can (at least) see that…

I'd have much preferred being on Chris's team and found the early plating to be quite a bummer.  I can't believe there was just nothing he could have pulled out of his hat once he saw that they had that much time left…I dunno, do some pinky-dip-tasting and seasoning-tweaking and salad-greens-tossing-in-air and maybe…
