episode 2… was a good episode, I just seem to have forgotten that the early goings are there to separate the wheat from the chaff. we saw continued excellence from My Main Man Steffan (”MMMS”) and the other european fabio, who, by the way, are hilarious together. they totally look down upon the americans but rightfully so – at least at this point in the season where they are clearly demonstrating dominance over the others. but there were also some serious trainwrecks by the chaffs.

and now for my thoughts that contain SPOILERS. don’t highlight the boxes if you don’t want to know what happened.

what the hell is jill’s deal? if he/she would have stuck up for his/her dish, or had he/she done more than shrug at the judges, he/she would probably still be on the show. but instead ariane got to stick around despite his/her dish causing a top chef first (?) of padma having to spit out the food.

but it was sad to see ariane back in the stewing room post-elimination, apologizing to jill crying “I don’t deserve to be here.” I think his/her days are seriously numbered… hey let’s not forget he/she has a zagat-rated restaurant back home.
