Farewell my sweet, beautiful boy Fabio.

[newcriminal]

I almost cried tonight.

[Sanity Claws]

1. I thought you were mourning the death of a pet

and was going to send you condolences.

But you get no condolences for losing a favorite reality show person. At least not from me.

[newcriminal]

6. I don't believe I asked for any.

The lounge has enough dead pet threads I promise I will never start one.

[Flaxbee]

2. Fabio certainly added zest to Top Chef! It is too bad he's gone

I thought they would definitely keep Dale, and it was a toss up b/w Fabio and Tiffany...

[targetpractice]

3. UGH!!! NO SPOILER ALERT?!?!

I thought this was about your pet... I was going to offer my condolences.

[Lucian]

4. They should've canned Dale.

Too much salt ruins everything. I'd rather eat a hamburger that tastes like meatloaf than eat something loaded in salt.

Bad decision by the judges.

[newcriminal]

7. I agree. Plus I have never liked Dale anyway.

[LynneSin]

21. I don't know, I kinda like Dale this time around - and he got hotter

He was some annoying asshole dweeb the first time around. But this time, he said he took anger management classes and it looks like he's been hitting the gym too!

[AngryOldDem]

18. Exactly.

If you make a dish that is inedible, that's it. You're gone.

I understand entirely Fabio wanting to do something different with the hamburger. Guaranteed: If he had done EXACTLY what the judges wanted (Gail in particular), he would have been reamed for giving them "something that they could have picked up at a drive-thru." And I can hear Tom saying EXACTLY that. Yeah, the melted Velveeta looked a little disgusting. But damn, not enough so to send the guy packing.

Dale's time is coming. That is the second week he was among the bottom feeders, and that has to be playing with his head.

On the other hand, GO CARLA! I love, love, love her.

[Lucian]

19. I don't like Carla.

She's too happy and optimistic all the time. That bugs me.

I want to see Angelo or Blais win.

[LisaM]

23. Exactly!

Not only was it too salty, it looked way too bready, too.

[Beaverhausen]

5. fuck- thanks for ruining it for me

please, in the future remember some of us tape these shows to watch later, and at least that we aren't all in the same time zone.

don't put spoilers in thread titles.

fuck

[newcriminal]

8. fuck-You're welcome.

[Lucian]

9. Is it really that big of a deal?

Seriously.

People get so worked up if there are spoilers posted. It's trivial. It's all trivial. Who cares if you found out who sent home early. Sheesh.

Nothing is ruined. The world is still the same.

[soleiri]

10. thanks

Thanks a lot for ruining it for me that it's all trivial.
I didn't know it was all trivial, I was going to find out later this week.

Damn spoilers.

[Lucian]

11. So now you don't have to waste an hour.

You should be glad I spared you an hour out of your life.

Use that hour and do something useful.

[soleiri]

13. I don't watch the show

I was referring to the fact that you spoiled it for me that it's all trivial.
That was the spoiler, and I wasn't actually serious.

[Lucian]

15. Ah. Okay.

Went over my head.

I guess.

As you were.

[IcyPeas]

12. I really liked Fabio too

He is such a good sport and was great as the front of house in restaurant wars.

GO CARLA - she absolutely cracks me up.

next week I'm guessing Tiffany or Dale. At this point they are all really good... but somebody's gotta go.

[Lucian]

14. I wish there was more of Anthony Bourdain and Fabio.

I liked the exchange between Bourdain and Fabio in the first couple episodes of the season.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Oh, thank goodness!

I was afraid this was going to be another condolence thread for a deceased pet. They make me so sad.

I'm sorry about Fabio, BTW.

[xchrom]

17. good. he's my future husband. nt

[LynneSin]

22. What are you going to do about his current wife

[Kali]

20. hey newcriminal

unintentionally hilarious thread!

I guess I must be the only one that thought something happened to that guy who was a cover model for trashy paperback romance novels. And as my slow dial up scrolled your picture open, I saw the top of that guys head and thought "hair cut."
