I'm not the most regular reader of Chow, so it took me some time to notice that they have been interviewing all of the contestants from this season of Top Chef as they get eliminated from the competition. So far, they have spoken to Chef Tom, who chats about the previous season's cast and Suyai, who was eliminated in the first episode; Otto, who was eliminated after an infamous lychee incident; Emily, whose food didn't wow the firemen in episode three; Marissa and Josie who were eliminated after their trio of palate cleansers failed to impress; and Carlos, the contestant who left after the most recent episode.
It is definitely interesting to hear the perspectives of the different competitors and to hear what their experiences were like. Some seem like genuinely nice people, while others seem to have a bit of resentment over the way their time on the show went. Type-A personalities working in cramped quarters in record-breaking Los Angeles heat is a recipe for conflict, to say the least. It is also interesting to get another perspective on the chefs and their personalities without Bravo's editing and to see if you still think that the judges made the right decisions.

As a chef (retired) I can't imagine these people screwing up so many times given the low volume and simple tasks they are performing.
I love shows involving cooking, but I hope you folks will choose more realistic candidates next time. This set of so-called cooks have only couple are decent.
Mike is rediculous, and what's his name, the "master chef" is fairly skilled, but has little sense about what he needs to do to be competitive, and is a real weirdo....the dude's from da moon I tell ya! hahaha
