It's another thing to make the outcome inexplicable. <br /><br />I think one reason Restaurant Wars seemed less dramatic is that they usually are given a barren shell to fix up, including decor. This time it was an existing restaurant. I'm glad they made this change -- it seems unreasonable to have chefs also play the part of interior decorators.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04465184138365516108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-30939370187912770472010-08-16T13:43:32.061-04:002010-08-16T13:43:32.061-04:00My husband barely pays attention to this show and ...My husband barely pays attention to this show and yet he was shocked that they eliminated Kenny saying, "He is a really great leader." Well, it's the tradition (unoffical) on TC that the leader of the losing RW team goes down with the ship. <br /><br />I didn't like the way they threw Alex under the bus. It left a bad taste in my mouth. It was just uncool. Even if they were right, it wasnt' their place. The judges had already made their decision and now this guy has to live out his last days on the show dealing with this. <br /><br />I think RW used to be more exciting because they used to have to build their restaurants from the ground up. I recall them shopping for decor and setting the place up. They don't do that anymore.<br /><br />Very creative editing here making sure the blue team looked like it would win at the beginning.The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-20101174352306246542010-08-16T08:24:25.915-04:002010-08-16T08:24:25.915-04:00Ooh...

Also, on a side note, don't you find it odd that the hostess of the show was a former model, but wears such badly styled clothing? Regardless, great recap, Sue :)Ginny Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819945859947385105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134384403689315687.post-55802338720428829932010-08-16T02:50:06.173-04:002010-08-16T02:50:06.173-04:00I think the judges are trying not to hold front of...I think the judges are trying not to hold front of house service against the chefs, since this is a cooking show. Tom did say in his blog that he hates that part of Restaurant Wars (although I do think in the past he said it was totally fair, but whatever).<br /><br />I don't mind Ed at all. It's probably going to end up being Angelo, Tiffany and Ed. Well, of those who are left that's who it should be.<br /><br />And I think editing had a lot to do with why there was seemingly little reason Kenny's team lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
