Natalie Portman shakes up ‘Top Chef’
After the bloodbath of last week’s restaurant wars, the cheftestants started this episode with a well-deserved lazy morning. Michael V. sharpened the knife he planned to use to slit his brother’s throat. Jennifer blow-dried her hair after a long night of flagellating herself with a balloon whisk (“Broken sauce? Bland trout? You! Stupid! Idiot!”). Robin sagely remarked that “waiting for coffee is like watching water boil” (read that a few more times) and then commended herself for “holding her own” (translation: “squeaking by on dumb luck while others fail around me.”) Just another morning in Vegas.
