Do ...I agree. This review is better than the show.<br /><br />Do the editors at Bravo purposely play up the unrequited gay love story? Or are there just so many moments like that from Ilan they have no choice but to cover it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35759387.post-63877201742148721472007-02-04T16:37:00.000-08:002007-02-04T16:37:00.000-08:00I'm happy to know that I wasn't the only one excit...I'm happy to know that I wasn't the only one excited to see Marcel take his shirt off again. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35759387.post-28716911682230189092007-02-04T14:53:00.000-08:002007-02-04T14:53:00.000-08:00Great post!

Are you SURE that while a sponsor of the show, "Food and Wine" transcends the iron clad contracts that all producers and contestants sign about maintaining the "integrity" of the show? Are you SURE, assuming your conjecture about "Food and Wine" being in on the decision is correct, that it was an intern that inadvertantly ran the story? Or might it have possibly been part of a larger strategy? <br /><br />You don't know. You're guessing which is fine. It's your blog. Unfortunately, audiences are only too willing to take OPINION as FACT. <br /><br />I will only assume that's why you write for a blog.

I recommend all your gentle readers check out the (now sadly edited) Raggaydy Andy Cohen webcast interview of Ilan and Marcel at bravo.tv.com. Even edited, it's clear Marcel is DRUNK AS A SKUNK and it's much more entertaining than the show was this year.<br /><br />My reaction remains: FIX THE PROBLEMS, you Bravo HEATHENS.<br /><br />1) Pick cheftestants with an actual chance of winning. Sujai? <br />Psycho Betty? Beer Bong?<br /><br />2) Put the emphasis on food and let the drama be natural rather than staged and badly edited. Put recipes up that the Home Chef can actually duplicate. Etc...<br /><br />3)Don't leak the ending.<br /><br />4) Don't have eliminated cheftestants help the finalists in the last episode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
