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.
Totally. ESPECIALLY because jackass what's his name EXPLICITLY said he was going to coast and let Ra'mon do all the work!
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.
Also: Ahahahahahaha, Mike the SuperDooooosh!
Also the potato salad wasn't their sole dish.

And like Brenda said, it wasn't the entire dish. It was a starch tying together a protein and a sauce. Had he served A Bowl Of Potato Salad as a standalone, I think he would have had similar salad issues to the other three.
I also think the producers should ban bread pudding as a dessert option from here till forever. Come up with a new dessert, cheftestants!
I'm not sure she's that bad - the chowder got good marks, even though it was wildly inappropriate for the occasion.
I don't know if she can be credited for that. Didn't Ron say something about winning the Montauk Chowder Contest 3 or 4 times?
Also, I'm loving this week's reality trend of being in the top 3-4 and then finding yourself on the chopping block.
