Amy - and what about her telling the other cheftestants that she was so concerned with the depth of flavor that she didn't notice that she hadn't chopped all the veggies the same size!!

Amanda will be out soon. She just doesn't pay attention, and it's going to bite her in the ass.

She's reminding me of Leah, too, and I couldn't stand her.

Oh, yeah. Neither could I.

WoA: Eric was in over his head from the beginning but his calling them out on their Art school bullshit was worth it.

Yes. He could have gone long ago, but I always feel bad for the person on the outs--either they don't say anything and get screwed for not stepping up, or they argue their points and get judged "difficult." Because there's always someone like Jaclyn that somehow think it's perfectly acceptable to say "you shouldn't be here" and then don't understand how that is taken negatively.

In all fairness to Jaclyn, he'd said some pretty shitty things about her at crit. him saying that he doesn't think that she's smart enough to sabotage him was an asshole thing to say (although I happen to agree with him, he could have phrased it better).

Unfortunately, while Eric was 100% right, his manifestation of his displeasure was 100% wrong, which made him look bad. He was a bad sport at the end when Peregrine tried to be nice, and he said unkind things about Jaclyn.

Oh, Eric was definitely acting like an asshole. And I don't think he was as talented as he thought he was either, but that's why I hate a lot of these group challenges, especially in something like fine art. There's a reason there aren't more collaborations out there.

I thought that it was good that the open space woman made that point as well. Although, in fairness, there's a difference between choosing to collaborate and being thrown into a collaboration.

In all fairness to Jaclyn, he'd said some pretty shitty things about her at crit. him saying that he doesn't think that she's smart enough to sabotage him was an asshole thing to say (although I happen to agree with him, he could have phrased it better).

Well, she did call him stupid multiple times during the planning process. I really don't want to be defending either of them, but this episode made me hate Jaclyn even more than I already did.

I have a grudging respect for Jaclyn's last two individual pieces, but I think she's totally downplaying how much help and inspiration she got from other people when it came to focusing on the thing that was going to pull them together.

And then I think of her Pride and Prejudice cover with the bowler hat and the misspelled "Austin", and I want her gone all over again.
