I am glad to see I am not the only one who has been feeling that the attacks on Marcel have been over-the-top and unmerited. The producers are so obviously trying to shape this story line of Marcel-the-villain without being critical of the fact that the rest of the bunch had taken their dislike to unnecessary lengths. I have really disliked this whole group of contestants for weeks now, mostly because of their constant and unrelenting mean-spiritedness towards Marcel. Betty was the worst, I thought, because the show tried to make her like this fan favorite, and I thought the whole time that she was just a bad cook and just petty and vindictive.
I kind of hope this is the last Top Chef. While last season had drama, at least they had good chefs. This bunch is filled with rank amatuers. The real top chefs in this country aren't playing juvenile games on reality television, though.
