Man, I really thought that Dale was going all the way. So, now I want it to be Richard vs. Antonia at the end.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm totally bummed about Dale, but am really happy for him as a person. So there's that? And I thought he was getting the loser edit throughout.

At work we were saying that a final three of Richard/Antonia/Carla would be a really great contrast of styles and whatnot.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Man, that review made me hungry!

No kidding, I want to go to Chicago just to try it. Although I've heard it's crazy busy all the time.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Philip makes me very uncomfortable to watch in a "gee I hope the CBS producers are letting him take his meds" kind of a way. Watching him feels exploitative in a way I never felt with, say, Coach.

And I thought he was getting the loser edit throughout.

Thinking back I can see that but I was very focused on worrying that Carla AND Tiffany were getting loser edits.

Yes, me too.

I need to go read the blogs to see what they most hated about his dish because I had thought that the seafood was itself okay but his potatoes were wrong and that Tiffany and Carla had messed up the seafood so their dishes had the most egregious mistakes. Clearly I missed something.

I thought at least one of the judges (Besh maybe?) said something about the taste of the amberjack being lost in the stew?

Oh, okay. I had forgotten that.

So he messed up the main ingredient AND he had uncooked potatoes. Should have realized.

I thought that Carla was a gonner from the edit, I'm sad to lose Dale but glad that Carla is still in it. Mike I. gets more and more irritating all the time. Chef law, indeed! What a jerk!
