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?

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

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.

What did the Maryland/Coloradan make?

There is something about her face that I find really disturbing. I don't quite know what it is, but I have to look away when she's onscreen.

YES! I thought it was her bangs but maybe it's the combo. Weird.

hmmm...she wasn't featured at all so I don't remember.
Oh, you know what pissed me off? That Hosea, who is also in Colorado, described himself as a seafood guy first wanted to use Dungeness crab in the summer in NYC and then used canned crab instead. Like does he know anything about seafood? Isn't Dungeness strictly West Coast??? I mean I know you can get anything anywhere nowadays but still. And can you really be a "seafood" person in a landlocked state? I guess you can probably make good enough food with flash frozen stuff but it's not the same.
