TOP CHEF IS BACK, READERS.
Quick spoiler alert / spoiler space for anyone who hasn't read through Book Two of The Hunger Games (I swear to G-d, there's a reason). Don't worry, there'll be another spoiler space after that brief discussion in case you want to skip right after to the Top Chef discussion minus my tangent into literature and analogy and so for.

So, in book two of The Hunger Games, about halfway through, Katniss Everdeen is called back to The Hunger Games for the "Quarter Quell," a special event that occurs in Panem every 25 years. This time: the male/female tributes from each of the 12 districts in Panem are "reaped" from the pool of victors instead of from the total population pool of 12-17 year old teenage boys and girls.
It's The Hunger Games All-Stars.
And as soon as it's announced, the book picks up after lagging for a while on the laurels of HOLY SHIT THE FIRST BOOK WAS AMAZING WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!?
I feel like that's what happened with Top Chef last night, after a truly lackluster 7th season and a 6th season that was really only a battle between four people anyway. Forget Top Chef Masters (fun, but frivolous and without real stakes) and Top Chef Just Desserts (which was colorful, sweet confectionery goodness, don't get me wrong).
Top Chef is back.

Top Chef is back, with characters we (the Constant Viewer) already know and love (or love to hate). And we already know that they're all incredibly talent chefs. We know their personalities (and are, in some cases, hoping for a change but secretly demanding that nothing has changed and that Marcel is just as much of a talented douchebag as ever). There's no culling to do, no trimming the fat. Normally in these competition shows, it takes weeks to whittle away the boring contestants, the ones who don't truly belong, the extraneous characters who get in the way of the real talent and magnetic personalities. Every cut is going to be painful instead of merely being necessary and a step towards the final group.
I've watched All-Stars editions of reality shows before (The Amazing Race... and it was a hoot... haven't watched either Survivor edition because, again, I've never been a Survivor viewer). This isn't the first time it's ever been done, obviously. But it feels different, to me, than other All-Stars casts.
Why? I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) this is the first time that a skills competition show has done an All-Stars season. There have been specials from both Top Chef and Project Runway with "All-Stars." But this is a whole season. And it's not a game that people are playing outside of their daily lives, taking a 40 day trip to the wilderness or jetsetting around the world. This isn't something these people are really doing for "fun." This is what these people do for their careers. The stakes are insanely high, personally and professionally. And it's something that, really, since each contestant's last time on the show, they had a real opportunity to improve. To become better, more multifaceted chefs.
Which is why the first elimination challenge (which, especially in Season 7 / DC, were more often poorly conceived than not) was so pitch-perfect. "Here's what sent you home last time. Now fix it."
And how devastating it must've been to be sent home first (and I must say I totally disagree with the decision, based on a cooking talent level... it should've been Stephen, but he's too colorful and annoying a character... but, yikes, if Elia didn't fully descale that fish and it was served partially raw... that's a problem!)
I cannot wait for the rest of this season. Especially after the "trick" the producers pulled on the contestants, splitting them first into seasons for the quickfire and then into two groups for the elimination and letting the chefs listen to the others critiquing their food in front of the judges. It's always a little weird when that happens because while the first group of diners in unaware they're being watched, the second group is all-too-aware.
Because the season really did risk being low on drama. And the beginning of the episode was (almost) all hugs. Sure, there were little spats that were going to develop... but now it's on, as every chef has vocally lambasted someone else's finished product (while praising others). Another reason Elia was probably eliminated. She wanted no part in that drama.
Congrats to Angelo for the win. It'll always have the asterisk of "if Blais finished on time, would he have won," but while you proved yourself awesome among lesser cheftestants in DC, you've now proven yourself awesome among the best. Even if not all of them had their finest day.
Who are you rooting for? Who are you rooting against? Who do you want to stay on so you can root against them?
My fingers are crossed this season's ratings are well above DC's because... damn, this show just got good again.
Hoodie MFing hoo, bitches.

TV Thoughts Omnibus Post
Attempting to grab this afternoon to update here on the ol' blog with some scattered TV thoughts. So many things to talk about, so little time (apparently / lately).
I've wanted to comment on Breaking Bad for a while. I caught up on the third season just before the finale and was able to watch the finale along with the rest of America (or, at least, the small subsection that watches this show). What an outstanding show this series has become. Initially, for me it was a dark, disturbing hour of TV that primarily showcased Bryan Cranston and Vince Gilligan. Last season, Aaron Paul really came into his own as Jesse, and this season it was Anna Gunn (annoyingly overlooked by the Emmys in a year where, shockingly, the usually same old same old awards show did a ton of thing "right"). There really aren't enough words to describe how subversive Breaking Bad has become. I don't know how many seasons it has left in its run, but the progression of the first three has catapulted it to the upper echelon of TV dramas. Ever. It plays so expertly on audience expectations and on TV conventions. I suppose if I were to try and get a simple handle on why I love it so, it would be this: the hero wears a black hat. It's a wonderfully modern show with a slew of visual references to classic Westerns. And Walter White, our (extremely anti-)hero, wears a black hat. I just think it's sort of genius. Now if they could only figure out what to do with Walter Jr...
Speaking of the Emmys... it's hard to truly be mad about the exclusion of Community when so much of the old guard, especially in the comedy categories, departed and made way for the buzzier shiny new toys that are Glee and Modern Family. Still, a nomination for the "Modern Warfare" paintball episode was deserved. Community is the lesser watched show of the three new comedies. It took longer to find its groove than Modern Family did (which seemed to have its groove from the start), and was never the pop culture sensation that Glee is (my opinion on Glee, of course, is that it never found its groove in the back 9 episodes... solid music numbers and performances, but incredibly uneven storytelling that I really hope can get smoothed out next season). There will always be Emmy snubs (um... no Michelle Forbes for True Blood?!) but, hey, Kyle and Connie got their nominations, Entourage washed out, and there was plenty of new blood in the various major categories so tons to be happy about. Now we can only pray that when the awards come around, 30 Rock's streak comes to an end thanks to the deserving freshmen and Mad Men does not win for its subpar (by its own high standards) third season. Per the above Breaking Bad comments... just comparing those third seasons, it's quite clear which is the better show.
Summer TV abounds this year. I find myself watching an uncomfortable amount of reality television, while the scripted TV I'm watching is essentially a game of "what's on USA or HBO tonight?" Also Futurama (the two-episode premiere felt off to me, but the iPhone/Twitter parody with Mom was a return to form... I still feel like the sex joke quotient has been needlessly raised for cable TV while the pacing isn't what it was... waiting for an episode where the gang goes on a delivery and shenanigans ensue).
After slumbering its way through the first few episodes, the Real Housewives of New Jersey finally kicked things up this week with, perhaps, the most ridiculously entertaining hour of stupidity ever televised. The sequence with Jacqueline in her car playing games on her iPhone while Danielle's energist (this is a job?) tries to work with J? Awesome. So self-aware.
I enjoyed Tuesday night's premiere of Covert Affairs, though I have to say the sister felt entirely superfluous. Much as I loved Anne Dudek as Cutthroat Bitch on House... the role could've been excised. I found Christopher Gorham's blind CIA analyst (who manages to be something of a womanizer and an excellent asset) an interesting twist on a role that could've played as "typical spy fare" as some of the other roles. For instance, Piper Perabo's Annie Walker (am I the only one who sees a lot of Jennifer Garner in Piper?) I'm just not sure what makes the character special. Yet. But it was a breezy enough hour(-plus) to sit through that I'll keep recording it.
Top Chef is slowly improving after a truly lackluster first couple episodes. I've been over Kenny from the start, though. Anyone who talks about being the "Alpha male" presence just needs to be ignored. Waiting for anyone besides Kenny and Angelo to really make an impact, consistently, in the kitchen. We were spoiled last season with the Voltagglio Bros, Jen, and Kevin!
I am on the fence about the new So You Think You Can Dance format this season. I was initially on board with the idea of the All Stars, but the first week of performances (also the show's first week airing live performance shows rather than pre-taped and edited) was wonky. Glad the All Stars now stand by their partners during critiques, and very pleased that the show decided midway through to start pairing the contestants with each other again. Some of the judges' choices on who to drop baffled me (particularly losing Cristina - not the best ballroom specialist the show has ever had, but one of the better ballroom dancers when in other genres of dance - in lieu of Melinda) and the season because very gender unbalanced, resulting in the "landmark" male partnering that is now both necessary and commonplace on the show. I'm still scratching my head over why the show chose to fix something that wasn't really broken (the sixth season suffered for being too close on the heels of the fifth... not because of the format), but, hey, the judges are self-aggrandizing enough about it for everyone. As it did everyone who follows SYTYCD, the Alex Wong injury hit hard. Both for him as a dancer - we here at TY pray he recovers speedily and fully, it's a horrid injury - and for the show. As Nigel implied last night when predicting Kent as the season's victor... "now that Alex is gone" will forever be an asterisk on this season. And what can be said about Kent Boyd? Quite a casting find.
I've tweeted thoughts on many of this season's pilots. I intend to eventually post reviews. Eventually. And maybe just of shows I feel strongly about one way or the other (initially just the positives I think). A few intriguing new series, but overall an underwhelming crop for the fall, I'm afraid. I will definitely be adding Lone Star, No Ordinary Family, My Generation, and Nikita to my viewing schedule. I've yet to see The Event, and I didn't love the script but it made me want to know what happens next (possibly because I have no idea what actually happened in the pilot, as there are mysteries presented but no indication of explanations...) but I can see adding that. Not a strong season for comedy, though the further I get away from my screening of Running Wilde, the fonder I am of it. I don't think it was particularly gut-busting, but there's just something about Will Arnett and Keri Russell... I was also planning on watching Love Bites, but it's no longer on the fall schedule. We'll see what happens with it, but my fingers are crossed!
More to come, I'm sure, as True Blood ramps up, Comic Con happens next weekend (per my tweets, not really feeling con this year), and more...

Top Chef Las Vegas: High Stakes, But Is The Game Rigged?
I am absolutely loving this season of Top Chef. The Las Vegas setting has been fun and, though at first I was wary of the "golden chip" high stakes quickfires, they haven't been used every week and this week even brought a "punish the loser" quickfire elimination (plus the "one bite to save your life" challenge for the bottom three).
There's only one thing that has been dampening my enjoyment of this season, though... the seemingly pre-ordained Top Four: Jennifer, Kevin, and brothers Bryan and Mike V. No one else comes close to their achievements (off the show... Eric Ripert's chef de cuisine, two James Beard Award nominees, and chef de cuisine at Michelin star-awarded restaurant!) and their consistency of high quality food and/or innovation on the show.
I'd almost feel bad for the other contestants if the women besides Jennifer weren't so comparably poor (seriously, the first four cheftestants eliminated were women... and no defenses could be made in any of their cases of the judges choosing the wrong person to pack up their knives and go...) or if the men besides those three and loud-mouth / semi-villain Mike I. had made an impression.
For now, it's just nice to sit back and watch to see (a) if any of the "ringers" will screw up, and (b) if anyone will come out of nowhere and surprise like last season's Carla.
Are you loving this season?

Mulligan?
Okay. Reality recap.
Top Model. We're in Rome! Hooray... ish. Lauren still can't walk. She can't stand up straight. And she gets sent home. Two weeks too late. Claire would've kicked the crap outta that CoverGirl commercial (which, really, they had a TON of lines to memorize in a foreign language).
Top Chef. This was not a particular inventive week for the challenge, instead it was just "look, here's another curve ball we're throwing under the guide of 'improvisation'. That said this was the first week where the judges basically said "all the dishes were good, so we have to get really nitty-gritty". I really wish Lisa had gone home, because I can't stand her... but oh well.
American Idol. Um... recount? This is a sad, sad surprise elimination on Idol. I mean... the bottom two was entirely wrong (and without there being a bottom three... inexcusable). But Leona Lewis sang (unlike Mariah) which was awesome. Mostly because she vocally puts every Idol contestant, like, ever to shame (possible exception: Fantasia). Still. This elimination, and this bottom two, is an embarrassment. Embarrassing for America, really, considering, um... the Jason and Brooke of it all. It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't suck hard. It was nice both Carly and Syesha got to perform again tonight... because it shows how wrong this was. And I really wish the judges would've said so more often and more loudly and with more "shame on you" judgment. But, hey, if Kelli Pickler gets a recording contract... Carly will. You know, the above is all a little unfair... this was the right Top 6 (or, rather, if Michael Johns had made it to Top 7, it would've been the right Top 7). And within their niches (and every one of these six people have different styles of music... none of which was musical theatre), every one of these Top 6 ought to get a contract and has the potential to be a star (even Jason). Next week is Neil Diamond... WTF. Did they forget about CONTEMPORARY MUSIC!? They haven't done a single week where the theme lets the contestants choose songs from, like, the last 5 years. Travis is UNHAPPY.

I Stole Your Shoes
Tyra said the funniest thing ever today ("I stole your shoes"), backed by the most Sixth Sense music I've heard recently on television. Creepy! I hope it's online tomorrow so I can listen to it on loop.
And thank god for that laugh, because it's been a $h!tty day, IRL.
And to top it off, the Idol elimination was spoilt for me (yes, spoilt). Made even worse by who it was who got the boot!
At least Top Chef was good. It's so early in the competition for them to bust out a major catering event!
Anyway, reality TV failed me tonight, so it's off to watch South Park.

Wednesday Night Reality TV
Hahah, Jim Carrey is wearing a Horton costume during Idol. Oy. Vey.
Anyway. Top Model had an interesting challenge this week. Changing locales to NYC has brought the show some respectable clients! I mean... two real fashion shows in three weeks (instead of on a sound stage and Tyra et al are the only people watching). Anyway, my viewing buddy and I can practically write the show (we love that Claire is dominating the Cover Girl of the Week thing like Heather did last cycle). Buh-bye, Amis.
Top Chef - I disagree with my viewing buddy about this one. I like Ryan. He's not the brightest bulb, it would seem, but I could *watch* him on the show. Thankfully he wasn't the cheftestant chopped this week (good riddance to boring Nimma!) My viewing buddy and I were both in love at first sight with the winning Duck Breast and Duck Egg Roll dish. And we think that Spastic McSpazzy (Andrew? You know the one we mean) is gonna crack. Soon. And how awesome is it that there's a lesbian couple on the show? That's gotta be awkward for whoever shares the room with them...
American Idol - Skipping the fat (aka the first 60 minutes)... Bottom 3 (see, I totally forgot that it was the Bottom 3 at this point in the show... here I am saying the worst / worst two performances....) are Syesha, Kristy Lee, and David H. Oh, and SexPot McPhee performed (with David Foster!? Holy crap!!) How'd she get on the show? Didn't her label drop her? Also, how did Ruben get the new "goodbye" song, didn't his label drop him? Also that song staaaaanks. Okay, I'm kind of surprised that David H got sent home.
