BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I'VE ACTUALLY HAD BULL TESTICLES: Yeah, we should have a Top Chef Vegas discussion, and as Scott Tobias suggests the main question coming out of this episode might well be this: what's up with all the Robin animus? A lack of talent or people skills are the options he discusses, but I'll raise a third -- age. She is the oldest contestant this season at 43 (Hector and Ron being closest), and one can easily see the twenty-somethings just choosing not to get along with her regardless of the merits.
As far as this week's cooking, I don't have much. Two fair challenges, Toby Young didn't suck quite as much as usual (please, bring back Jay Rayner), and there's clearly a top group (Volts, Jennifer, Kevin, none of whom are gimmicky) and an "everyone else" at this point. One more thing: if a fellow chef tells you specifically how the guest judge likes a particular dish, you'd better figure out how to pull it off. That was eerie.
