http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/26/Top-Chef--Watch-What-Happens.aspx In this installment of TOP CHEF, we got to see past and present cheftestants squirm in their seats after being forced to relive some of their wilder, funnier and more juvenile on-camera moments. Normally, I’m not the type that enjoys a reunion. If I get the urge to see old friends or family members, I’ll just pull out the old scrapbook from underneath my bed. But, that doesn’t mean I don’t love watching somebody else’s, especially a reunion of reality TV contestants. It’s entertaining to see how they feel about their experience after they’ve had the luxury of some perspective. Considering the fireworks that have exploded in the TOP CHEF kitchen over the past three seasons, it’s funny to see the chefs try to explain their behavior. Or, at least I thought it would be. Unfortunately, this one didn’t quite deliver. The show started off with a question and answer session, which — for my money — fell flatter than a crêpe suzette. I don’t find questions from viewers such as, “Did it take the judges very long to decide which chef was going to be kicked off that week?” to be riveting TV. I was, however, very happy to see my favorite TOP CHEF title holder, first season winner, Harold, back. And, can we talk about Lee Anne? She doesn’t even look like the same person. It was also nice to see Micah get grilled about her “Americans love their ketchup” comment. We also learned that because Lee Anne is now a TOP CHEF culinary producer, we can thank her for a lot of this season’s challenges. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/07/26/Top-Chef--Watch-What-Happens.aspx 77 60
