"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I find it interesting that both PR and TC had people from the winning group in the bottom in the same week.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Thank Zeus for the result.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

PR rocked. I can totally live with Magical Elves' new trick of having one person on a team be in the winner's ring, and the other on the bottom, because it's allowing the judges to really call people on bullshit.

But I still have no idea why I'm watching "Models of the Runway. It's insipid, yet I can't seem to look away.

Matar: You're adorable, but you had nothing to do with Erica being sent home. Basically, you just stood there and looked pretty. Which, really, is your job. Also, you don't get to feel worse than the model who was actually eliminated.

Fatma: Once again: Logan is gay. And he just not into you. get over it. And chill.

Whoever it was Fatma's in a feud with, because I've totally lost track of who's whom: Just. Deal. With. It. Already.

Koji: Call me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally. ESPECIALLY because jackass what's his name EXPLICITLY said he was going to coast and let Ra'mon do all the work!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was kind of hoping that Sexist McDouchebagface would go home this week on TC, but Preeti was pretty clearly doomed from the get-go. She seems like a very nice person, but she has zero palate.

And agree with the WTF re: pasta salad. It looked like something you could get at any supermarket deli counter in the country.

(And really, Dear Every Cheftestant Ever: DON'T MAKE SALAD!!! The judges do not like it!)

I'm glad Ra'Mon won but I hated his avant garde look. A lot. Also glad to see the back end of Mitchell. I cannot believe he just flat out admitted he had a plan to ride Ra'Mon to the victory.

I do not get the Fatma/anonymous horse face girl beef at all, but I do know that if I apologized to someone and they continued to carry on as horse face girl had done, that would be the end. Fatma is a better woman than me, because I would've just gotten up and walked away from her. Left her neighing to the air.

Seriously! Hasn't that been more than one prior cheftestants downfall in the past?

On the other hand, the potato salad that Kevin did (I think it was Kevin) was one of the things that got them in the winners circle.

100% agreement. I would have been there 10 minutes, max.

Potato salad is salad in name only, IMHO.
