I'll Shave Your Neck Hair If You Shave Mine...

Seriously, who watches this?

Hopefully someone out there watched Launch My Line so they can tell us about the exclusive Top Chef videos featured therein. Anyone? Bueller? Yeah, we thought not. Stick to what you're good at, Bravo. And it ain't Chef Academy, we can tell you that.

This week's reunion episode was lamentably tame, compared to the shitshows that the Real Housewives reunions usually devolve into. Not that we watch those.

Some highlights:
  • Is it just us, or does Andy Cohen maybe have a wonky eye?
  • Colicchio reported Jesse couldn't make it because she "wasn't feeling well." Right ... if by "not feeling well," you mean, "still stuck in a shame spiral."
  • Mike V.'s jacket was like some sort of disco king in space situation ... perhaps Padma's stylist has gotten another client?
  • Andy introduced Mama Voltaggio by saying she was someone who "has known Michael and Bryan since they were very small." Very small?? You mean, since they came out of her loins?? (editor's note: Having been there, I'm pretty sure she wished they'd been even smaller.)
  • Mike I. just called Mattin "Martin," right?
  • Why did Colicchio become Eddie Haskell in front of Bryan and Mike's mom? "You did such a great job raising your sons, Mrs. V.! Can Wally and the Beave come out and play?"
  • Ash and Ashley not only have matching names, they also have matching outfits.

We're not even going to go near that Padma comment about "eating lots of huevos." If you're not familiar with Spanish colloquialisms ... now is not the time to get acquainted with them.

Just because the season is over doesn't mean PPYKAG is in hibernation, folks. We'll be blogging about the upcoming Bravo programming Top Chef Masters and Top Chef: Just Dessertsfollow us on Twitter to make sure you keep up with our newest posts. Thanks for reading!

  3. I unfortunately watched that abomination of a show that is Launch My Line. The Top Chef snippets weren't that great - Mattin got naked on his birthday, Mattin barfed on his birthday, the boys threw Jen into the pool, and Mike Isabella cursed.

    *yawn*

  4. I watched Launch My Line just for the snippets, and they weren't good enough to justify watching an hour of crap just to see them. If you have Comcast Digital Cable though, you can watch the Top Chef: Las Vegas reunion show and it shows all the extras that were shown during Launch My Line. I just wish I had known before I subjected myself to that ridiculousness.

  5. For what it's worth, I have been watching Chef Academy. While it's not great by any means, it's not bad and is okay in the absence of Top Chef. It doesn't hold a candle to Top Chef, but it's okay. I've actually learned a couple of things from it.

    I've loved reading your blog this season (I just found it this season) and can't wait to read what you have to say about Masters and Just Desserts.
