I'm planning on watching this in a few minutes; anybody else?

Marcel did show his punk self with all his "street" talk and at least Stephen didn't do the bug-out eye thing as much. I do have to say that I hope both past seasons get to judge the 3rd season though; just to give back what the new ones gave out in turn.
ironchef said:Are you certain that that's how the contestants for the first two seasons were selected? I was under the impression that Bravo selected people from different aspects of the industry (fine dining, casual dining, catering, private chefs, etc.) in order to see which side could prevail, and also so the show would appeal to a wider variety of viewers.
