In response to "Top Chef spoilers" by David

what really got me - spoils

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Feb 17 '11, 11:22

yes, I ultimately realize it is a business but last night was product placement on a level that almost damn near ruined the show

I especially didn't like the fact that they couldn't even take their knives. Chefs knives are a personal extension of their body, its why Padma says "pack up your knives"

and the only time they could use Target was the middle of the night

so the contestants were dog tired and not thinking straight, the judges were tired, it was exhausting for them all

also, I watch Ming Tsai every weekend now. On his show he pairs a western ingredient with an Asian ingredient. I thought the use of him as a judge was just wasted, I'd rather have seen them do a challenge along the lines of Ming's show. But no, that opportunity was sacrificed to product placement as well.

I could rant further, but I bet you understand I hated that particular product placement

The reason they didn't craft the episode around Ming Tsai is that he's been on a few times before. -- nm - David Feb 17, 11:26 5
- okay, I'll grant that. I just like Ming a lot though. The rest of my criticism still stands though -- nm - crash davis Feb 17, 11:27 4

      - Ignoring the Target aspect, which battle did you enjoy more between this and Night at the Museum? -- nm - David Feb 17, 11:34 1
        
        tough call - I maybe enjoyed the museum a little more. (spoils) - crash davis Feb 17, 11:39
I refuse to buy Buitoni for this reason. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 11:24
