And you&#8217;re admitting it on national television? There&#8217;s nothing else to say except that we&#8217;re pretty sure he doesn&#8217;t take a lot of women home (other than his mom).<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Robin brings up the whole cancer thing again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We know you had cancer. We&#8217;re not discounting the experience or the severity of the situation, but it&#8217;s overkill at this point. Yeah, we&#8217;re a**holes for that, but so is Eli.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Padma&#8217;s baby bump.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We hate the term &#8220;baby bump,&#8221; but somehow, it fits amid the cheese of this episode: the raunchy product placements, excessive bleeping and the emergence of the ubiquitous reality show phrase, &#8220;I&#8217;m not here to make friends&#8230;&#8221; (via Robin).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4) The emergence of the phrase, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/fourfour.typepad.com\/fourfour\/2009\/09\/im-not-here-to-make-friends-redux.html\">I&#8217;m not here to make friends<\/a>.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always followed by, &#8220;I made some great friends,&#8221; whenever someone finally gets the boot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) The chefs cook for an event called Pigs and Pinot.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Imagine the innuendo possibilities with this one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) The brothers heat up the rivalry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t wait for them to play mercy in the next episode until one of them cries like a little girl.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Kevin wins again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s awesome, we get it. <\/p>\n<p><strong>8) Young people unite against Robin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And she knows it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) Toby uses a hairy armpit reference at chef&#8217;s table.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At least he&#8217;s good for something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) Diana Corwin compares Laurine&#8217;s dish to cat food.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyfork.com\">Fancy Feast <\/a>actually sounds pretty good to us.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>?We&#8217;re down to the nitty gritty for this season of Top Chef and no more lesbians, a few crappy chefs remain (in addition to the decent ones) and the brother-on-brother action is heating up.
