I'm sure there's some people on TL looking forward to tonight's show! For those of you who don't know what Top Chef is, it's a cooking show whose contestants are eliminated each episode until a Top Chef is crowned. Two challenges are typically featured in each episode. First is the "quickfire" challenge which gives you immunity in the elimination challenge (usually a very fast time-constrained challenge), and the elimination challenge which is exactly as it sounds. I can't write enough to do this show justice, but I'm sure one of the responses might be able to help out.
Anyway, the All-Star season kicks off tonight, and favourites from past seasons (no winners) are back in action to compete yet again.
+ Show Spoiler [Fantasy TC rules] +
+1 pt winning quickfire
+1 pt top 3 of the elimination challenge
+1 pt winning the elimination challenge (winner would get 2 pts total)
-1 pt bottom 3 of the elimination challenge
+5 pts final 3 of the entire thing
+5 pts winning the entire thing (season champion would get 10 pts total)
ANTI-TEAM:
-2 pt win the elimination challenge
+1 pt bottom 3 of elimination challenge
+6 pt 17th/18th
+4 pt 15th/16th
+2 pt 13th/14th
+0 pt 11th/12th
-2 pt 9th/10th
-4 pt 7th/8th
-6 pt 5th/6th
-8 top 4
Extra -12 pt if anti-team member wins it all (i.e. you suck)
Cast:
6th to 8th (Group C)
Mike Isabella: top 7
Jamie Lauren: top 7
Dale Talde: top 6
Tre Wilcox: top 8
4th to 5th (Group B)
Elia Aboumrad: top 4
Stephen Asprinio: top 5
Jennifer Caroll: top 4
Tiffany Derry: top 5
Antonia Lofaso: top 4
Spike Mendelsohn: top 5
Fabio Viviani: top 4, FF
Finalists (Group A)
Richard Blais: finalist
Tiffani Faison: finalist
Carla Hall: finalist
Dale Levitski: finalist
Angelo Sosa: finalist
Casey Thompson: finalist, FF
Marcel Vigneron: finalist
Team:
Two of each group A, B, C.
Anti-team:
Any two contestants.
The high stakes forum of 2p2 had this going on, so I tweaked the system a little bit. There will be nothing on the line because I hear that spoilers are available for the first couple episodes. Anyone can enter. If there's enough interest, I will update this with a running score total of each contestant (after I've seen the episode). Good luck!
Your team should consist of 6 members, and your anti-team should be 2 members. Sorry for the short notice. I know you all browse TL like mad anyway.

FF means Fan Favourite, nothing more.

I can't pick a team since I only started watching the series in DC, but thanks for the heads up that it's starting again. I lost track of it.

Somewhat OT:
I really disliked Angelo Sosa, but at the same time, I felt he deserved the win over Kevin. Maybe if he didn't get sick...?

top chef is by far the best reality cooking show
Hell's Kitchen is complete garbage, and for reasons unknown to me, I don't like The Next Iron Chef either...

iron chef america is hit or miss depending on the episode.
Chopped is terrible
hells kitchen is watched purely for the dramalama

I used to really like Chopped, then it got really predictable. To the point where you almost expect the person who's winning to fuck up somehow.

Nope, there's definitely 18 chefs. Super! I'll probably have to watch this tomorrow though =[
