I&amp;#39;ve become mega-skeptical of editing shenanigans over the past few years. At the same time, I feel that there&amp;#39;s that &amp;quot;it won&amp;#39;t be there to edit that way if you don&amp;#39;t give it to them&amp;quot; ethic as well. Some folks, like Ty-Lör, for instance, seemed so exceedingly guarded that they had a thought bubble over their heads saying, &amp;quot;I know anything I do or say while a camera is trained on me may reflect on my future business prospects.&amp;quot; ... At least a video camera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsey, I&amp;#39;ve felt for most of the season is being edited in such a way which guarantees she won&amp;#39;t be in the finals. (Or at least in the final two. The Antonia Edit, to put it most charitably.) Grayson, of course, is a fan favorite for a variety of reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We shall see!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19523093/3187952834001620094/comments/default/8323202893557660819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19523093/3187952834001620094/comments/default/8323202893557660819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.cliffieland.com/2012/01/top-chef-texas-something-co-branded.html?showComment=1327281706366#c8323202893557660819' title=''/><author><name>Cliff O'Neill</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07547118156848067800</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_It1y68cAZyA/TQVZ308IsNI/AAAAAAAAAL4/8LjA0TB0gbg/S220/Cliff%2BAt%2BEden%2BRoc%2BHotel%2B-%2BVersion%2B2.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.cliffieland.com/2012/01/top-chef-texas-something-co-branded.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19523093.post-3187952834001620094' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19523093/posts/default/3187952834001620094' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-2052825725'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19523093.post-1879484349367883352</id><published>2012-01-22T20:11:52.767-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T20:11:52.767-05:00</updated><title type='text'>1) I&amp;#39;m in a &lt;i&gt;Top Chef&lt;/i&gt; fantasy league wit...</title><content type='html'>1) I&amp;#39;m in a &lt;i&gt;Top Chef&lt;/i&gt; fantasy league with some friends (yes I&amp;#39;m that much of a geek). We get points anytime someone even attempts a risotto, because it is such a &amp;quot;Death&amp;quot; dish when it comes to your chances on the show. Seriously, between that and just plain rice, I&amp;#39;m not sure if something is effed up more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) I was sad to see Beverly go this week, because she seemed like the most spunky and determined of the remaining crew. She seemed like she really, really wanted to win, and everything else was secondary, whereas with Sarah and others, winning was secondary to wittling down others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Then again, maybe they&amp;#39;re just editing things funny. The first big heel of this season was Heather, who got eliminated a couple weeks ago, and she&amp;#39;s seemingly been replaced by Sarah. Both are kinda fat ladies, which makes me wonder if they&amp;#39;re just being portrayed as ogres via the editing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) That being said, I have minor crushes on both Lindsay (that twang!) and Grayson, and I hope one of them wins. Lindsay has been coming on especially strong, since I don&amp;#39;t think she&amp;#39;s been amongst the bottom since the beginning episode.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19523093/3187952834001620094/comments/default/1879484349367883352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19523093/3187952834001620094/comments/default/1879484349367883352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.cliffieland.com/2012/01/top-chef-texas-something-co-branded.html?showComment=1327281112767#c1879484349367883352' title=''/><author><name>Steve G.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12021363760202667755</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15746362208152739167'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WUvmQcmsdWc/TU3no6T9FII/AAAAAAAACHg/mGcHVF2cj7c/s220/MeSideView.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.cliffieland.com/2012/01/top-chef-texas-something-co-branded.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19523093.post-3187952834001620094' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19523093/posts/default/3187952834001620094' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1554811027'/></entry></feed>
