Lisa Fernandes from Top Chef Did Not Win! Thank You.

Actually, I would have said, "Thank you, Jesus." but some would have dismissed me as a fundamentalist right-wing homophobe, which is clearly and substantially not the case. 

Why the blog post?

I have NEVER disliked a person on TV as much as that wretched, soul-less egotistical, NEGATIVE, conniving, back-stabbing, sorry excuse for a human being.  I wish Richard Blais or Stephanie Izard would have thrown her "under the bus" and pointed out that she only won one elimination challenge, zero quick fire challenges and managed to be in the bottom three contestants up for elimination for a terrible performance 6 times- more than any other contestant!  To make matters even more clear, she only managed to be selected as one of the better performing chefs 1 time in the 12 episodes she did not win.  She sunk to all-time lows of villainy with the unending insults and her wilingness to point out every one else's flaws at the judges table. 

She embodies the word "negative" in every sense of the word.

How exactly could the Top Chef judges choose her to be a top 3 finalist???  WTF.  Statistically speaking, Antonia, Dale and Andrew all had superior records and were far superior candidates for Top Chef.  Absent any clear or compelling evidence to the contrary, I am left only suppose it was simply that Lisa fits Bravo Entertainment's "key demographic" why they kept her around.

Of course if that was the situation then Bravo made an error as is evidenced by the phone-in viewer pole results in which Fernandes only garnered a 4% response to the question, "Who should be Top Chef?" among remaining contestants Richard and Stephanie.

I was pissed that I even had to sweat it out thinking that there was the slightest possibility that she MIGHT win.  I was going to swear the show off forever if she had.  One thing is for certain, that show lost a lot of credibility.  Guaging everyone else's reaction in the blogosphere, I am not too far off.

Big Brown did not win the Triple Crown, that's OK because Lisa is not Top Chef.

I didn't win the Florida Lottery last Saturday night, that's okay because Lisa Fernandes is not Bravo's pick for Top Chef.

My dog ate my $180 pair of Oakleys, that's OK because Fernandes was not chosen as the winner of Top Chef.

Everything is right with the universe and I am at peace; Lisa Fernandes is not Top Chef.

BTW, I do not claim to be an excellent cook but I can most certainly afford to eat at Mai House where Lisa works, I would simply not to support a restaurant where she was a chef.

Thanks to all who have volunteered to stay by my side, armed of course, during this difficult time for me and my family.

Duane Dog Chapman Audio Clip Of His Voicemail

Never say never, Duane.

I received a few calls from national press folks this morning (starting at 6am) wanting a comment about Dawg The Bounty Hunter's recent audio taped tirade in which Duane Chapman used the word "nigger" 6 times in his self-serving effort to break up his son's relationship with an African-American woman… I listened to the unedited version of the tape on the National Enquirer website this morning to get up to speed and I was, needless to say, appalled by what I heard. 

The crux of the entire conversation is that he told his son, Tucker, that he could no longer work for his company if he was going to date a "girl like that" because they use the "N word" in his house and that he was not going to take the chance of ruining everything that he has worked for over 30 years simply because Dog Chapman was afraid that he might slip up and use the N-word in her presence and she would run and tell the media. 

The media hound's public relations camp is trying to spin it that he was angry and trying to get them to split because of her questionable character.  This is of course bullshit; all one has to do is listen to the audio of the telephone call.  Duane Chapman has asked to meet with leaders of the Black Community to discuss making this right.  Why?  I suspect that it's not because it is the RIGHT thing to do but because he is more worried about his fame and fortune.

Let's get this straight: Duane Chapman was excluding Tucker from the family business because he was afraid of getting caught using the N word and having his television career go down the toilet.  Good job, ace- you really nailed that one. 6 times to be exact.

Honestly, I was not surprised that he admitted to using the N word regularly, but I was shocked that despite his Christian blather he is deeply and unequivocally such a racist.  To tell his son that he could not work for the family business because he was dating an African-American for any reason at all is evil. 

It is hatred.  It is ignorance.  It is reprehensible.  It is NOT Christian.

Yes, he caught Andrew Luster.  Yes, he wants you to believe that he is cleaning up the streets of Hawaii.  And yes, he evangelizes to the fugitives he captures in an effort to change their lives around, but this is not a guy who just used the N word in a moment of passion; this is a guy whose soul was laid bare in just a few minutes of private conversation with his son.  Many of us tried to tell the media that the hound was playing a well-rehearsed, made-for-TV role and that this was not America’s hero; in fact, that the evidence of his true character would one day present itself.

Here we are today. 

Duane, you think Don Imus had it rough when he coined the phrase nappy-headed hos?  Brace for shock and hold onto your ass, you're in for a rough ride.  Needless to say, you embarrassed a lot of people with your hateful speech.

I suppose every dog does have his day, and today, Duane Dog Chapman goes back from whence he came- notoriety, then obscurity.
