First Impressions? WOW

From the moment he started describing her as scattered I knew she was gone.
Again, someone...anyone will have to explain to me how the Tom Colicchio judging system works, because kids, it's a mystery to me. How a duck dish that seemly glowed with judging praise suddenly went to being scattered. How from the moment she told him that fire coals story and how she used good judgment to save the dish instead of grilling it and ended up with under cooked duck, suddenly made the dish worse than what it actually tasted? Tell me how that's worse than attempting to make a tricky egg dish, under cooking the egg (raw eggs being so appealing to the general populace) and having the undercooked egg overwhelm the rest of the components of the dish? What's that you say?Oh yes, you're absolutely right, I did forget. Stunt Casting. Congratulations Tom, you've totally earned your latest title and the reputation that goes with it.

Top Chef Season 6

Season 6 premiered tonight. Did you watch? What did you think? For me, like the very busy picture above, 17 chefs are way too many. Having seen the improvement made on the series with Top Chef Masters, it's a bit hard to go back to the grind of the Glad Stew Room, repetitive living quarters chatter, and stunt casting of brother chefs. Everyone ready for the very long haul of Season 6?
