I just took delivery orders and mixed the occasional salad for a middling Italian restaurant when I was a teenager and I got called an F-up constantly. It was practically a term of endearment.

i also though it was weird that they seemed to draw the line at cursing. Micheal used that as his defense and made it seem like no matter whoever was in the first place, it was now her for cursing at him.

We finally saw some weakness from kevin/jen this episode... it was just weird to see Kevin send out a piece of lamb that undercooked, and Jen's fish looked like dog food. Michael V's food continues to amaze me. The amount of thought/creativity that goes into his dishes coupled with the perfect execution every single time... it's just unreal. The only thing that's hurt him in this competition was a short circuit that he had no control over. I think he's gotta be the front runner at this point.

That's a good point. F-bombs are dropped regularly in the kitchen at busy restaurants

Also ironic that Mike V made a big deal out of it since he curses more than anyone

I don't understand all you people saying you can't believe all the fighting between the brothers. I'm guessing most of you don't have a brother close in age.

Brothers who are close in age typically fight all the time. I know I fought with mine constantly growing up.

If I recall from the first episode, these two haven't seen each other in quite a while. They are both really good, accomplished chefs who want to win this thing. Obviously they want the other to succeed to a point, but each is trying to get a mental advantage over the other. They're just doing the same thing they did the first 20 years growing up.

Yeah, but what happens when you play sports with them in the backyard?

I never took it as "psychological damage" as somebody put it itt, more like standard brotherly needling.

It was kinda cool to see an amazing chef like Kevin send out poorly cooked meat, because when I watch Hell's Kitchen I think that the Top Chef folks would never make that mistake. Gordon Ramsey would have flipped out!

Whatever, the whole exchange was brought about by Mike having his TC future partly decided by an extremely inferior chef. Mike played optimally by letting Robin do as little as possible to torpedo the team and Robin played optimally by accepting that fact, yet still getting all huffy to save face when Mike 'disrespected' her cooking.

LMAO.

The V. Bros. didn't see or talk to each other for 12 years. There's definitely bad blood there.

Did they ever mention if the two brothers knew they were going to be on the show? Or if they even knew they both entered to be on it?

The brothers have been a great element to this season, especially since they both kick ass. Great decision by Bravo.

What really? I didn't know that. Did they both happen to apply to the show or something w/o the other knowing it?

i think a lot of people are missing the point re cursing. you can say F as much as you want (F this! hurry the F up! whats wrong with your Fing meat?) but Robyn said "F you" which has nothing to do with what's going on in the kitchen and is a personal insult.

robyn is a child and MV responded like a huge dick.

wasn't is "Get the f*** off of my station"? Pfunk, perhaps you have other reasons for calling her a child, but this was an entirely reasonable time and way to stick up for herself. You can tell that she is a woman who hates confrontation too. I have no love for Robyn, but have to take her side on this and increase my dislike of MV's lack of professionalism and general childish bahavior.

And no, there is nothing unprofessional about saying, "get the hell off my station."

The dude looked white as a ghost when he saw me. It wasn't busy the first night I worked and I made him clean and re-organize the walk-in. He quit the next day. Everyone that worked there said he was a major prick and was glad.

On his blog I think Collichio said that the lamb dish was actually the worst. Additionally due to the editing it's really difficult to get an idea of how bad the front of the house people do, but all signs point to Laurine being really really bad and also having a hand in why the dishes were so weak.

Great episode. How strong would the top 6 be if Robin went home next week? Even if she doesn't I suppose. Anyway, ridiculous.

+1 on Jen looking better then expected in a bikini. Crush definitely growing.
