Food media 'Top Chef' season 9, episode 4
Posted by Debbie Michaud @DebsMichaud on Thu, Nov 24, 2011 at 10:53 AM
On this week's "Top Chef," a cowboy love story, starring Richie and Chris J.
When Richie ends up on the bottom, Chris J. walks over and massages his shoulders. "I'm good," says Richie, and Chris leans over and whispers into his ear, "Emotions kill." (Other chefs look around, shift uncomfortably in their seats.)
SPOILER
Later on, after Richie's eliminated, he runs into the arms of Chris J., bawling, "I didn't show them what Moto can do!" "It's OK, I love you," says Chris J. It's very moving, like when Frodo and Sam are on the edge of Mount Doom.
Hey, it's Thanksgiving! How about a list of all the things cheftestants and judges are thankful for.
The judges: They're thankful for being assholes.
Chris C. is thankful for Padma on a horse: "Seeing Padma on a horse is like looking at Fabio on the cover of one of his romance novels. It's pure beauty." It's funny how some people get pure beauty confused with gross.
Beverly is thankful for tears.
Chuy is thankful for the toy rocking horse that somehow ended up in a house for adults on a reality TV show.
The old lady judge is thankful for acid.
Chris J. is thankful for gigantic stars.
Everyone else is thankful for not getting kicked off. Except for Richie, who got kicked off, twice if you count last chance kitchen. Which we do.
OK folks, don't forget to leave your picks for the top 3 in the comments below. PRIZES are at stake!
Everyone's still in the game. Here's where we stand:
Nom Nom Nom: Sarah, Nyesha, and Chris C.
totm: Edward, Whitney, Chris J
JMF: Whitney, Lindsay and Chuy

I think they must have edited out the big liplock and tongue-thrashing between Richie and Chris J. I've never witnessed a bromance that deep before, although I do think Richie is sorta-kinda hot. Not so Chris J., though. Dude, get rid of the sunglasses affectation.
I'm just not a Sarah fan, just something about her grates on my nerves. I would not trust her. As for Chuy, I really liked him after last week, but this week he came across as a bit obnoxious. Given what the other chefs said, I suspect his personality is like a Chihuahua (yea, I went there, sue me).
My favorites are Paul, Edward, and Grayson. I think Paul certainly has the chops to win this.
