"Boo-hiss, you baddie!"
That used to be the favorite expression of my old high school field hockey coach Pat Prettyman.
You were supposed to think those words when facing the enemy, scrambling for the ball and trying to get it into the goal. (Thank God for shin guards.)
Prettyman's expression comes back to haunt me every time I look at Lisa's grumpy, sullen mug this season on "Top Chef."
How this not very consistent chef and She SchlepRock skirted to the Final Three is one of the great mysteries of this reality series.
But undercooked pigeon peas were Antonia's downfall and she was sent packing. And who really believed Antonia saying that she liked "al dente" beans? Certainly not Colicchio whose lack of a poker face at the judges table is hands-down one of my favorite aspects of "Top Chef."
So now Stephanie, Richard and Lisa will face off next week for the Big Cook-off.
Stephanie's grace under pressure - and her refusal to throw Dale under the bus for leaving out the pork belly over night - has me rooting for her. Intelligence and talent is hard to resist.
But Richard and his Felix the cat bag of culinary tricks is a winning combination and he has been a favorite ever since the first challenge when he served the peach/sweet tea pizza.
Lisa. Well, you know how I feel about Lisa. "Boo-hiss, you baddie."

Patricia... I couldn't agree with you more about Lisa on "Top Chef." I can't figure out how she made it this far. I thought she would be done weeks ago. Richard said it last night when he commented that her bad attitude just brings down the whole kitchen. All she ever does is complain. I can't recall anyone on any other "Top Chef" season land in the bottom 2 as many times as Lisa and still make it. I have to wonder sometimes if Tom, Padma, Gail, and the other judges ever consider the whole body of work over the weeks... and hers just doesn't seem that good.
its all staged you twits! Whats wrong is that this "discussed with the producers before final decision voting"(you dont believe me...record it and pause it at the end to read the fine print on the credits). It is no suprise she got that far because IT KEEEPS PEOPLE COMING BACK AGAIN. DUH!.....If you really take it that seriously then you need help.
Thanks for the comment. But, sorry, you're flat out wrong.
Tom Colicchio is known as one of the most honest guys in the restaurant business and he addresses the imput of producers - it REALLY IS ALL UP TO JUDGES - in his blog.
