Fabio's dish looked really good, but I just think that it should be a handicap if you serve a dish that you've made before. A new idea should give you a edge.
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just watched Survivor from last week and I also noticed the racism. This season Jeff has targeted Kenny and Crystal for such scorn. Every single "previously on..." talks about how their tribe is the worst ever seen on Survivor, despite the fact that those are the only two people who have remained on it. Presumably because Kenny is not physically strong and Crystal fails at being as strong as she is supposed to be. So I love that they keep destroying people anyway. I can't believe they were able to get rid of Marcus, and I was shocked at this one too. So now I'm rooting for Kenny and Crystal against the Jeff Probst steamroller.

Well, I think you're new idea has to be more than, "Hey, I used an Ostrich egg!"

Oh, absolutely! but when Fabio went on about how he's made a thousand of these salads at his restaurant, it kinda took away some of the magic of the dish for me.

He was pre-emptively defensive. I wonder why?

Oh I don't think so this early in the competition. It's not like he's Ilan serving the same Spanish-style food challenge after challenge. I'm dying to know what it is he did with the olives exactly. They didn't explain it at all but it sounds like they were amazing (olives are one of my favorite foods).
I feel bad that my hometown girl got sent packing. I liked her personality-wise anyway. I think it's not a bad idea to choose an unusual ingredient but, for gods sakes, choose one you've worked with before and do something interesting with it!

And it has to taste good. You only get points for risk-taking if the risk pays off. That's why it's called "risk."

I'm kind of confused as to how she screwed it up. The guest chef said it tasted like paste, so I think that her "rice pecan crust" was the mistake more than the ostrich egg.

Maybe yeah.
The girl with the bad bangs, the blond from Colorado is also from Maryland and trained at the culinary college here in town too. I guess we'll have to root for her as the hometowner now.
