Yeah, that puzzled me. It's like losing your money - it doesn't necessarily impact you until you hit a challenge where it does.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

maybe all teams show their passports to the producers after they check in?

TC: Jesus - is the Alexia thing the most blatant product placement yet or what? I'd feel better if I hadn't tried a bag of one kind and thought they tasted like crap. Great texture; awful taste. Granted, I tried one of the ones none of the chefs picked - the cheese ones - because I'm a sucker for a halfway decent cheesy junk food. Guess I should give the onion ones a try?

Because books.
I'll say this: Robin does seem like she might be annoying after a while, but the little boys' bullying club is atrocious.

Wow, that elimination was a surprise. And doesn't bode well for Robin's treatment.
Ash was pretty funny, though, when he said in the stew room, "I forgot FLAVOR!"

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
We were talking about this at home, and decided that we could both see how Robin would get annoying under those circumstances. But Eli is just mean, and that's unforgivable. There's an air of passive-aggressiveness and entitlement about him that's just plain off-putting.
Still looking at a Kevin, Jen, Brothers V. finale, but Restaurant Wars is next, and if a contender's going to go down, it'll happen there.

The bickering was one thing. I can totally see how they get there all crowded in the house. The crowing about it later on was a serious asshole move.
They're so clearly tiered now, with tonight's top four and bottom three and Eli and Mike I in the middle. They'd likely both have done very well in another season. But I'm hoping they don't break ranks in this one.
(Interesting comment from someone about one of the V brothers trying to needle at the other one. I didn't catch who was who though.)

Agreed, but Mike I's "grandma's got to go" was far, far worse. Even more than the crowing Eli did, IMO. I was glad to see Bryan give a bit of a disgusted look at that one. And also happy to see Kevin trying to say something nice about Robin earlier in the show. He's definitely a class act.

Mike I.'s taunting with the "Rotten Robin" really got to me. So grade-school.
