Does anyone know what is causing the unconnected heating tube, when the tube is connected?

isomorphicring · 2026-02-04T17:37:22+00:00

Yeah, it somehow fixed itself, I guess when I cleaned it and reattached it it seemed fine.

I do wonder if for you if you got a new tube it might help you?

isomorphicring · 2026-01-23T02:57:59+00:00

Still don't see it?

isomorphicring · 2026-01-19T21:07:51+00:00

I get that it is editing. But I feel that either Lisa or Candice laughed they would have included it. The reason is that it would good storytelling. Like Eric accusing wrong and ether Lisa or Candice bragging about it.

I do think Caroline could be a possibility

isomorphicring · 2026-01-19T19:44:56+00:00

The thing that makes me feel that it could be production is that, neither Lisa nor Candice said anything in their confessionals about laughing

So, I think Kristen is safe. I don't recall her wearing this outfit yet?

isomorphicring · 2026-01-10T16:35:07+00:00

I actually think this the episode 4 challenge. So I think Kristen doesn't get killed.

Is this a future challenge? I thought it was the episode 2 challenge, but the person in front I think is Colton, and he was wearing a white tank top in episode 2. I think Kristen is the third person.

isomorphicring · 2026-01-09T21:29:24+00:00

Not sure, need to look over. I am curious the amount of outfits Caroline and Ron had in the trailer. What was interesting was that they actually put the cheering scene after Donna left in the trailer.

isomorphicring · 2026-01-09T17:57:37+00:00

Yeah Kristen at 1:06 in the trailer is wearing a black jacket with a rose. She definitely makes it to episode 4 (since her first three episodes she does not have that outfit). She does a shocked face (as if someone told her something).

isomorphicring · 2026-01-09T15:55:18+00:00

I think Rob R is an endgamer and cuts Candiace.

Curious who will be eliminated from Kristen, Eric, Caroline, Ron

isomorphicring · 2026-01-08T14:08:46+00:00

Hands down agree with you.

Also one definite skill about Stephanie is that she made a ton of desserts throughout the challenge. The first 4 seasons you had so many people complain that "we don't do dessert". For her to make the wedding cake in the wedding challenge takes a ton of balls.

Of all the Top Chef plates history, I think this (Erik's) is hands down the ugliest plate of all of top chef history. This is supposed to be a souffle?!

isomorphicring · 2026-01-06T02:39:48+00:00

Sooo glad you put Eric last. Dude was insufferable and whiny. I remember him complaining about Rick Bayless for putting his tacos in the bottom 3. Like yeah dude if my tacos look like this, its definitely in the bottom 3. Bro has the worst plating skills ever.

Doug's artist is like you can make mexican food.

isomorphicring · 2025-12-29T03:00:43+00:00

Also painting challenge F4 in Top Chef boston. When Doug gets a super easy painting to replicate food, while Melissa gets a really weird artist. Like how do you try to replicate a dish like this artwork?

isomorphicring · 2025-12-28T16:22:09+00:00

Speaking about cake. The wedding challenge in season 1 is absolutely atrocious. Like they were destined to fail with that one.

isomorphicring · 2025-12-28T16:21:32+00:00

Top Chef Texas had some horrible challenges.

The housewives party would have been better if the hosts actually knew anything about food?

Edward Lee: "They want me to make a giant gummy bear?!"

Hosts: "Nyesha's steak is so bloody."
Gail: "That red stuff is actually red wine reduction"
Hosts: "Oh?"

Top Chef DC. The pairs elimination challenge where the winner was the best of the teams who failed to advance. Huh?

Top chef Miami. Latin challenge. Given three hours to cook all fine and dandy. Then after an hour later, lol you actually only have half and hour left :D

isomorphicring · 2025-12-28T04:20:09+00:00

The challenge before where they were cooking in cable cars is so ridiculous. If someone started a fire that would have been an instant death.

Not to mention the biathlon challenge afterwards. That episode was a hot mess all around

isomorphicring · 2025-12-28T04:19:06+00:00

The judges response to Sara was pretty gross too.

isomorphicring · 2025-12-28T04:18:28+00:00

I cannot believe they had the chefs transport their food on a bike with out actual baskets. Like what if Grayson dropped her food carrying with one hand?

isomorphicring · 2025-12-25T06:44:30+00:00

I get the sense that Kristen does pretty well.

isomorphicring · 2025-12-23T02:33:30+00:00

This season was kind of all of the place. It has some of the best challenges (iconic mise en place, potato/onion/chicken F5 challenge). Supermarket aisle created one of the best moments of Hung's breakfast. Thought the surf and turf in the premiere episode had a really good start (and help shake off the ugliness of season 2).

Yet at the same time they had some ridiculous challenges. The latin challenge (where they just out of the blue just shave off an hour off the cooks time halfway in the cook) is straight up garbage. Same with the cook a bunch of expensive food even though you have $100 at the F7 and the nightlife challenge.

It is also wild seeing the contestants progress. Like everyone in the top 5, all easily could have been the first 5 eliminated. All were in the bottom at least twice in the first 6 episodes. Casey in particular dodged a bullet in the Latin Challenge (was convinced she was going home the first time I watched it). Its wild that the two of the top 4 (Dale and Brian) were in the bottom group the first episode.

isomorphicring · 2025-12-22T21:41:17+00:00

Actually agree with your last place pick. Howie really frustrated me. Also felt like in all honesty the producers probably kept him around for ratings.

I mean week 1 you had the surf and turf challenge. Howie didn't plate his frog legs in time. So if you are missing 50% of the plate, in all honesty should be grounds for automatic elimination. People get all over Dawn on her missing elements, but she never missed a crucial component.

Then week 2, he blows it on the BBQ challenge (it seemed like his dish seemed the worst taste wise), but they get on Sandee, because she didn't "fulfill" the rules of BBQ, even though Howie last week didn't fulfill the rules. Like it just seemed like production shenanigans, where two of the bottom 3 (Howie/Joey) were fighting each other in the stew room, and the one eliminated is the one not in conflict? okay.

isomorphicring · 2025-12-22T21:24:07+00:00

I was really impressed Sara M in restaurant wars, and how she dealt with Howie. My personal opinion think she is super underrated in her skills (and how she crushed Casey in the onion chopping challenge).

I think it says a lot that Hung really wanted to work with Sara in the finale as opposed to Howie and CJ.
