So that was two times now that Tiffany won both challenges, right? She didn't ping me as a great chef in the early days of the season, but she must have some mad skills and a good palate, especially since she's been working with dishes/ingredients she doesn't know.

She strikes me as an Art Smith type -- maybe not the most innovative chef ever, but someone who cooks delicious food in a particular style. I really like her, too -- she reminds me of Antonia, in that she's not really buckling under the pressure and just seems to have a steady, kind head on her shoulders.

I'm totally rooting for Tiffany.

When you say "Andrea" - you mean "Amanda", right? I mean, cooking with alcohol for kids girl, right?

I can't believe that they let another opportunity to send her home go.

I don't like Angelo but I do think he was mostly having a really bad day. We'll see if the killer fatigue has him if he can't bounce back from this.

And I would have been happy if either any of the top three had won today - all are chefs that I like.

Oh! Yeah, Amanda.

I forgot to tape Top Chef. And then I realized I didn't care. Wherefore art thou must-watch shows?

Well, try to watch the quickfire - that was interesting. It was a take on the mystery box where they get the box, start cooking and then: they get another box and repeat 'til end of quickfire.

The elimination challenge was to "disguise" a classic dish so that the diners couldn't immediately guess what it was.

Meanwhile, I've started to watch last night's MasterChef and I'm liking the format so far.

Oh yeah. I missed the first say, 20 minutes of it but I got the rest and quite enjoyed it. Good to see Ramsey in food loving non-shouty mode.

I can never remember Amanda's name, so I just call her Leah. She's like her doppleganger or something. Which means she'll get super far in the competition without having much skill.

I almost watched Master Chef last night, but then I found Poltergeist on WGN and stuck with that.

YES, this.
