Watching Food - Top Chef, Reunion

Does anyone else think that beady-eyed Andy Cohen, the interviewer that Bravo uses for all of their reality show reunions, is annoying? Mom and I don't think that he asks good questions, and we definitely think that there are too many long, awkward pauses that he should be putting an end to. I can't believe that he is the Senior Vice President of Programming for Bravo. Other than that, the Top Chef reunion show - although entertaining - didn't really divulge any information that we didn't already know (although we can pretty much make the assumption that Zoi and Jennifer's relationship is kaput). I thought that it was funny how all the contestants have Top Chef nightmares, and what was up with all the bromance that was going on? Both Mom and I were SO glad that Lisa's permanently pissed off look was addressed. She always stood with her arms folded and totally gave off this "I know what I'm doing so back off" kind of vibe. I also think that Gail Simmons looked kind of snotty. Maybe she's upset about her constantly-limp hairstyle. Was anyone else surprised that Stephanie won the Fan Favorite award? She was Mom's guess, but I thought it should have been Andrew. That guy was out of control, but Mom thought that he seemed like the type to come back and shoot up the place if he didn't agree with the way he was eliminated. One of the more interesting things that was addressed on tonight's show was the fact that the chefs were swearing way too much. Bravo to Tom Colicchio for calling them out. Cursing is never necessary, and to me it just makes the person look classless and ignorant. I also hate this year's t-shirt quote, but I'm not surprised by it. Dirty sayings on shirts are a dime a dozen, and that's not saying much for Americans. Congrats to Stephanie on her win(s)! She totally deserved it, and she was our favorite throughout the entire show.
