I feel like every season of Top Chef starts off with a sacrificial lamb. Someone that isn't who they say they are. Someone that is there so that a real chef doesn't end up looking bad by being the first one kicked off. Last season, that sacrificial lamb overachieved and lasted quite a few show (bad bangs Melissa).
But tonight, the neck tattoo and the gross stretched out ears of Jennifer Zavala made her make the most disgusting chile relleno I've ever seen with the worst choice of fillings and it was obvious that she made the right choice to not unpack. She probably made that choice because she was just some random cooking student they pulled in to take one for the team, and like a good trooper, she did just that. Good, because I couldn't take her ears and her neck tat for more than one episode.
As for the rest of the cast, nobody really jumped out at me as a favorite and I don't think I can make an early choice for winner. But I'll go ahead and make a choice right now and see what happens, so here goes. The winner of Top Chef Season 6 will be....Kevin Gillespie - the guy that won tonight.
As of episode 1, here are how my allegiances break out...
Like/Rooting For
Ron Duprat - Didn't like that he used his story so soon though
Robin Leventhal - She's a Seattle chef, always root for the local
Kevin Gillespie - I like his beard
Hector Santiago - I like the line "I cook with heart and cojones"
Ashley Merriman - Another local. Two Seattle cooks and only one New Yorker this season
Dislikes/Rooting Against
Preeti Mistry - That can't be her real name, right?
Michael Isabella - No surprise he's from Jersey.
Jesse Sandlin - Something about her flighty confessionals and she's a crier.
Eli Kirshtein - Came off as a young, pompous tool.
I had to pause the show for a second and it came at just the right time. Please to enjoy Padma Lakshmi's tongue...
You're welcome!
As for Top Chef Masters, I really enjoyed it. Sure it lacked the drama that makes Top Chef so good, but watching these amazing, seasoned professionals do their thing was fantastic. Hubert Keller, Michael Chiarello and Rick Bayless are my new heroes. Rick Bayless picked up a much deserved win and picked up a big fan as well. I really want to eat at Frontera Grill when I make it back to Chicago now and I've even started buying his salsa at the store (which have all been quite good so far).
The worst part of Top Chef? The rest of the programming on Bravo. I can't take these stupid, awful bitches on any of the Real Housewives shows. We both now turn away from the TV and plug our ears when they come on. And then to have them pop up and take over half the screen in the middle of a show is ridiculous. I want to watch Top Chef live, but these bitches might make me start waiting until the day after so I can speed through their skankiness.
As if Top Chef wasn't enough...PROJECT RUNWAY TOMORROW!!!

I completely agree with you about Jen being gone! As she was getting kicked out, I was so glad not to have to see her freaky deaky ears anymore because um...ew.
Right now I really dislike the other Jen, despite the fact that she works for my favorite chef, Eric Ripert. I think my favorite is Kevin too...for now.
Yeah, that Michael guy was quite annoying -- like he wants to be the ass of the season (which was Stefan last time). It would've been interesting if they'd done a quick montage to catch us up on the winners from the previous seasons to see what they've been up to and how winning Top Chef actually did something for them.
The way Jen explained what a chile relleno is was totally sexy, though. It was all whispery and gentle, and hey, I love seitan.
I generally think Padma is a no-name/no-palate, but I do love the way she says Preeti's name.
Don't ask me why I just found your blog tonight and feel like I have to tell you about all of my weird lesbian TV moments. Sorry.
