Jersey Mike's going home. I'm calling it now.

Padma WTF are you wearing?!

haha looks like she rolled out of bed and put on some sweats
Julian at 10:16PM on 10/07/09
Gumby sweats

Damn. I was NOT expecting Robin and Mike Valenti to do well.

Some unexpected bombs tonight. Should be interesting at judges' table.

Wow...nice way for Ash to indirectly blame Michael for the failure of the dish
puppychao at 10:52PM on 10/07/09
Wow. I can't believe she got cut! She was doing so well!
Julian at 11:00PM on 10/07/09
oh no!!!!! so sad!!!!!! I really really really liked Ashley. now all the good chefs that are left are super cocky (except for Kevin)

Which twin is better looking? They are both awesome. I like the scruffy!

The expression on Mike's face was priceless as Robin continued to talk (presumably to herself as Mike said nothing!) after they finished cooking. LOLOLOL!
Smart move on Kevin's part to take the money and not the immunity on the Quickfire...who wouldn't???

Glad Ashley is the one going home.
And they are not twins :) They are just brothers.

I think I'll always stick by my prediction that the top 4 would be: the brothers, Kevin, and Jen. Last night just obviously did not turn out well for Mike V.

Tyler got dissed a bit. Usually, they show a contestant or two gushing about what a great chef the guest judge is.
For Tyler, they showed one cheftestant say that he knew of Tyler because he was on Food NW and had some cookbooks. The contestant did not even say Tyler's show or books are good.
That's a sad commentary on Tyler's rep if that was the best endorsement the producers could wring out of the group.

I'm sad Ashley got sent home -- I think she has great instincts and flavor profiles -- Ash or Eli should have gone home instead, imo ...

I need to know WHO WON?!! I turned away for a moment and it was onto the loser ... and can't find the winner anywhere online!!

@anneesha - check out the bravo website

@remander: I could not agree with you more they gave Tyler Florence very little credibility when in reality this is a guy on the rise to being a big chef celebrity. As a so-called "foodie" you may very well think that the food network is below you as you are on another level, but that is crap. Tyler Florence proves so. I have never seen the guy make something that didn't look awesome! He is obviously a chef with a superior palette, and yes his food is simple, American, and twists on traditional food that our mother's served us, but who is not into that?! Check out recipes from Tyler's Ultimate they do not disappoint. Oh and they need to send Robin back to the seaport brothel she was working before the show.

I wonder why they left Brian out of the picture above?
@anneesha: Jen won
@paolo: I couldn't agree more with your top 4. I am convinced that Kevin is really a force to be reckoned with. The brothers are going to be tough as well. I don't like Jen at all, but she is obviously a great chef...not sure she can hang with the boys though.
@Timothyrows: I just made Tylers Ultimate Cheesecake a few days ago, it was excellent.

Not sorry to see whiny Ashley go. At least she pulled it together enough to act like a grown-up after the axe fell, but every single other time she's been on the bottom (which has been frequent), she always pouts and acts surprised that she's done so badly.

Noooo!! I finally watched last week's episode of Top Chef and I'm super sad about Ashley!!! :( I thought she'd be in the top 5 with the brothers, Kevin and Jen. She deserved to go farther. I think they should have sent Ash or Eli home.
