[If you haven't watched last night's Top Chef, don't read the following. Blah Blah Blah. Spoiler Alert. Blah Blah Blah. I hate Lisa. Blah Blah Blah. Don't read on if you don't want to read about what happened. And I hate Lisa. Blah Blah Blah. Ok. You've been warned.]

We can't catch a break here! Dale gets sent packing, and Lisa is still on this show?!?!?!?! I don't get it. She SUCKS! Dale was kind of a dick, but I liked him pretty much all season. Probably because he didn't like Lisa.
So my favorite chef on the show gets sent home.. basically because he took the fall for his team being crappy. And crappy Lisa lives to see another day.
Then, last week Lisa got saved because Spike was apparently tricked into using crappy scallops. So crappy Lisa lives to see another day.
Then, this week, Lisa gets saved because...
Who the hell knows? She should have gone home weeks ago. She sucks. She's a crappy cook. She doesn't deserve to hold Stephanie's or Richard's oven mitts (or Antonia's or Dale's or Spike's or Andrew's, for that matter). Week after week she annoys everyone, criticizes people who are smarter and better than her, and makes crappy food. But again, crappy Lisa lives to see another day.
Why is she still on this goddamn show?
Basically, there are three chefs who would have made far better finalists, but somehow Lisa tripped her way in. She's up for elimination three weeks in a row, and three weeks in a row the better chef gets sent home. For managing a crappy team. For cooking scallops. And for undercooking beans. Lisa is the freakin' luckiest Top Chef contestant ever. Collichio and Padma and Gayle should be ashamed. They should be very ashamed. If Antonia really was that bad, they shoulda just sent both of them home and let it be a one-on-one finale, like it was in the first two seasons. Stephanie versus Richard straight up would be plenty interesting. Who the heck needs Lisa mucking this up and taking up precious screen time? Who wants to see her crappy, ugly food anyway?
Lisa blows. Send her home.
By the way... my predictions: My heart wants Stephanie to win, but if I were putting money down, I'm afraid to say that my money's on Richard.
Of course, both of them are better than Lisa. Both of them could cook boogers and it would be better than anything Lisa makes.
