I'd argue that few TC contestants, period, have ever worked at such a level. Only one that comes to mind is Blais, who worked with Thomas Keller.

You totally nailed it with the Exquisite Corpse thing.

Love the Mike/Robin "...Great recap as always. Love the Mike/Robin "dialogue." Robin seems to be teflon but I wish she would leave. I'm tired of the drama and it is abundantly clear she can't cook to the level of the other cheftestants. And you're right about the Brothers V. I still think they're pretty cute (Brian more so than Mike) but the sibling stuff is getting old. <br /><br />I'MCWolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926972302461105458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15425522.post-5419102885910432292009-10-22T15:46:23.053-04:002009-10-22T15:46:23.053-04:00It is interesting, I find none of the remaining ch...It is interesting, I find none of the remaining cheftestants likable, and usually at this point there is at least one I like. LOL. <br /><br />I do find Michael V somewhat insufferable, and hope he leaves soon.
