I figured that Dale would be toast because Top Chef loves to have at least one "shocking" elimination every round. But, that said, how in the effing HELL is Lisa still there? Huh? Bourdain had her number right from the start and yet there she stands with that mulish expression and bad attitude. And then there's Spike. Who sucks. Who has always sucked. It's been obvious for weeks that Richard and Dale are the best of the current crop and yet two of the most useless ones are still around. I didn't even like Dale. He was an ass. But, come on! Seriously, that's just messed up.
Top Chef likes to piss people off with this sort of thing.
