I'm a fan of -- gasp! -- a reality show

    And their desperate push to make Hung an Asian Marcel got even sadder this week, with that dramatic flourish in the music as he said his pommes dauphin got too heavy because he didn't get any help plating, or whatever he said. He didn't get help, it's a legitimate point to bring up if there's an issue with the dish, so why this post-production attempt to make him look like he's throwing his fellow competitors under the bus? Between this and the not helping CJ last week, they're really reaching.

    Yeah, the "Massive Dick" edit is falling very short.

    Especially because all the other chefs all but admit that Hung is the best cook and the most you can get out of them is that he's trying to win.

    You know they wanted to keep Howie around for as long as possible for the dick factor, but the problem they ran into (again and again and again) was that he couldn't fucking cook.

    Hung should win. And I think Sara should have made the Final Four over Dale -- Dale not only had a horrible dish, but he forgot to put the sauce on the plate. I think they chose Dale because he was more likeable/popular.

    Honestly, I thought the judges liked Sara, but you can't put out undercooked chicken and expect to move on.

    Undercooked fish, hell, undercooked beef, that can be viewed as a minor misstep.

    Undercooked chicken can kill someone. You gotta be tossed for that.

    Interesting Q&A with Dale from the Chicago Trib ...

    Casey annoys me more than anyone. Her plucky "I can't believe that I'm so good" attitude is beyond fake.

    I'm still shocked that Tre is gone. My guess is that Casey is probably the favorite, with Hung a close second. Then a decent gap to the other two.

    I agree, Web, but wouldn't it be cool to see Dale pull out an upset?

    So Brian got turfed, which actually surprised me because it sounded like they were most down on Casey's dish. That smoked tomato butter saved her ass. Hung rarely misfires, so now I'm with him on the finale.

    And for the love of everything, would they PLEASE stop saying "I'm in this to win it" in all its variations? No shit you're trying to win. That's kind of the point of appearing on a show called Top Chef.

    What do you think of the three-person finale?

    You've got to give Dale props, he kicked booty. Casey seems to have the edge, but Dale put himself in a good spot. He's just more laid back compared to Hung and Casey. It could work to his advantage in the long run.

    "I don't know much about cowboys. I've slept with a few, but that's about it."

    This is why I'm rooting for him. Because that line is AWESOME.

    That line officially brought me onto the Dale train!
