I'm gonna go against the group and say it was Jonathan's time to go on TCM. Nobody at the table was impressed by his chicken, and he made no attempt to integrate the avocado into the dish. (If this hadn't been the masters, he would have been ripped to shreds at judges' table for turning the key ingredient into a side salad.) He really hasn't had his heart in this competition for weeks now - every time we see him in the stew room he's been resigned to going home.
Rick is a PITA, but at least he's still attempting to put out competition-level food.
Following up on Liese's whitefont,
Ida left because she has been named as a US Presidential Scholar and was committed to going to the ceremony to get her medal from the President. The list is here: [link]
so, suck it, Nigel.
I assume Nigel's yelling is the promo people and that it's in reaction to something else.
Jess, I agree re: Jonathan. He got screwed in the challenge assignments, but I thought he could have gone long ago.
I think Jonathan was really weary the last few weeks. But he was Obi-Wan! I liked him so much personally, but he really did sort of give up on this challenge.

I can't disagree with your assessment, but I still think that raw pork deserves to get sent home. OTOH, I think that I would have been okay with it if it had been any other chef. I just hate the whining.
I haven't seen SYTYCD yet, but Alex Wong + Billy Bell = Automatic win for dance fans everywhere. Lovely. Lovely. I want both of them in my men's top 5.
I was just mentioning to my mom on Wednesday that lots of these girls are pin thin. Like bone snappingly thin. I don't like it.
That hair girl is distractingly thin, but she doesn't look like she has an eating disorder to me. That looks like genetics.
I'm watching the Vegas week stuff now. Alex Wong holy shit. And Billy Bell, too.
Oh, Jordan. Work hard and come back, love. I'm rooting for you.
Yay Adechike!
I finally saw SYTYCD and all I can say is Alex Wong and Billy Bell. Those two are everything. I would watch a season of just the two of them dancing every week. And Anthony and Adechike only a tick behind. Alexie is really the only girl who is making a huge impression on me so far. Hair girl, I just don't get it. Not that she's terrible, but I'm not seeing the special thing that all the judges are seeing. And I don't find her to be too thin.
I enjoyed Toni on the panel. Hope they have her on more often. Tasty is back doing his best diva bitch. OK. Mary is back wearing crazy, backless, polka dot leotard dresses and just what the holy hell? And where is Miss Debbie Allen? Hmmmph.
