Or * Goodfellas* even?
Thanks. and now I know where I saw her at. She played one of Two Face’s girlfriends in Batman Forever.
Marcel is definitely a dick but he showed a lot more class this week than that bigger dick Ilan. Marcel reminds me of those people I’ve met who really want to be a nice guy and want people to like them but they can’t help their base-level dickery. Ilan, on the other hand, seems like a nice guy who is going out of his way to be a dick because he thinks it’s cool. I’d much rather have the former.
I see the rest of the “competition” going like this: Michael (I love him but he’s not a Top Chef), then Marcel, then Cliff, then Ilan. Elia and Sam in the finals, Sam wins.
FWIW, according to Tim Gunn of Project Runway (TCs sister show), the producers don’t have a say in the voting unless the judges are deadlocked, then TPTB will help the judges make a decision. I don’t believe they would get too involved as that would ruin whatever credibility the show has.
Anyway, I’m glad Betty is gone. She’s been lucky too long.
I’m predicting Marcel to be the next to go, then Michael and Ilan. the final three will be Cliff, Sam and Elia. With Sam taking it all.
I forgot to mention something that I just noticed the other day: Marcel looks like the archetypal prince. Anyone else notice this?
Michael actually did something well. Yay for him. Now boot his ass.
The guy’s food has been consistently unimaginative and crappy. His work ethic has been non-existent. His drunk/stoner act got stale a long, long time ago. Every show where he skates by while someone else tries and is eliminated is an affront to common decency. (Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit.)
I was stunned on the previous show where he forgot to bring eggs and the others bailed him out.
As for the treatment of Marcel, everyone should be ashamed. He has been a dick from time to time, but there’s no need to gang up on him like a bunch of high school jocks tormenting the nerd.
These are just gut feelings, so they’re probably completely wrong. But… I think Marcel is one of those wanderers through life who doesn’t realize that all those bipedal creatures out there are “other people” just like him. It doesn’t matter that someone else already has dibbs on a desert; he wants to do one too. It doesn’t matter that the team already has begun hashing out assignments; he wants to take a moment to work out what’s best for him. I think that if that sort of thing were done more in a competitive spirit, and less in a passive-aggressive spirit, people wouldn’t pick on him. They might complain, but they wouldn’t bully him. True, he doesn’t snap back at the others. But he does quietly (and maybe even mindlessly) push buttons.
I think you’re right to a large extent, and this ties in with what I said about him not being able to help his dickiness. He probably doesn’t even understand why people don’t like him.
