WHY IS ROBIN STILL THERE?

arbolita

Yeah, i didn't like him either but ughhhhh Robin.  She's like Leah from last season, minus the affair but more annoying.

Oh, I agree she's annoying.  But, you only have to be better than 1 person each round to stay in.  I really hope Jennifer gets it together by next episode.  It would suck for her to go before Robin.

Seriously, she should have gone home a long time ago.  Although, I get what they were thinking.  Mike was pretty confident that he'd be sticking around.  I was very disappointed.  Zaytinya is one of my favorite DC restaurants.  It has so many vegetarian dishes & he basically served raw leeks?  wth.  I was so happy for a veggie top chef though.  I was counting down the days to this week's episode as soon as I saw Natalie Portman in the preview last week.

I suspect it may also be an issue of higher expectations.  They expected more from Mike, and when he didn't deliver, he had farther to fall.  I don't think they expect much from Robin, so they take her or leave her.  Not that I think it's fair, at all.

I was so mad last night!  Although Mike was definitely annoying and cocky at times, Robin SUCKS!  She's in the bottom of every challenge.Stupid producers...

I think they got rid of Mike just because he was so overly confident that he wouldn't go.  He was acting like he was too good for that challenge.

I know! She's in the top six?! She's been out of her league since week 3. I can't believe 83% of poll respondents wanted her to go home and she's STILL there.Mike I. had to leave soon, though. He was annoying me. Michael is super annoying too because he's so full of himself, but I know he'll make it to the top 3. I hope Kevin wins.

I was so happy for a veggie top chef though. I was counting down the days to this week's episode as soon as I saw Natalie Portman in the preview last week.I know, and they all seemed to take it in stride. It amazed me that Kevin, the dude who cooks pork every week, said that he and his wife go vegetarian for lent every year. At this point, if they were basing it on pure performance, Jennifer would have gone home last week after messing up both her dishes. But she's way better than that, and they know it. Robin can only hang on so long. I mean, Hector was way better than Robin and he's been gone for weeks. I love Eli, but I think the top 3 will be Jennifer, Michael and Kevin.

I really like Kevin because he's so down to earth.  I hope he wins.  Or Brian.  Mostly because he's from my area and is really cute.

I'm so madddddddddddddd about Robin!Also did anyone think that Natalie Portman came off, seemingly retarded?  Isn't she Ivy League educated? Her dumb drug dealer joke and incessant giggling really bothered me.  I never suspected her as the air head but my opinion changed.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Yeah, Pinot, she seems like a dingbat. She has in other interviews, too. My friend is obsessed with her and I don't get it. She's cute (and I heard she's REALLY cute in person), but lots of people are cute.She went to Harvard, but lots of celebs got o Ivys. 1) They can pay full price tuition and 2) They're home-schooled, basically, so they have really good grades because of the one-on-one tutoring. Julia Styles went to Columbia, and I think Kellie Martin went to Yale. I like when celebs go to Ivys before becoming famous - I think David Duchovny and Henry Winkler both went to Yale before acting.And I love how Eli said the only thing she's been in that matters is Star Wars considering that was her worst performance!

pinkpinot

She is one of those actresses who should just never talk or give interviews.  Same thing with Megan Fox. 

jennboo

It seemed like they were all drunk at dinner maybe that's why she looked like an airhead with all the giggling!

The episode my husband is going to be in is coming up in a couple weeks....squeee!! I know who the last 5 finalists are but I'm not telling. I am also pretty sure who will go home during his episode, due to the fact that the producers had to specifically say something positive about the dish so it would make for a little suspense, I guess it was so obvious.

arbolita

Yay Sascha!  I was wondering when we'd be seeing him.  So it's when they go from 5 to 4?

saschaduran

Yes, I am pretty sure it is November 18 or 19. I will definitely be AWing it the week before:)

Our friends girlfriend was on the Restaurant Wars episode with the blonde bob. Jennifer got mad because she didn't give appropriate updates on the table situation.
