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.

Oh, yeah - that bugged me too. I mean, if there was crab in season, my guess is that Whole Foods would have it. And he never owned up to the canned crab at judging table either.

(Although, random non-chosen possible contestants picked up on it.)

Also, something about her mouth and the fact that her eyebrows are so much darker than her hair. I don't know, I cant quite get it, mostly because I can't look at her long enough to figure it out.

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.

This. I would never have admitted that. I am very intrigued about the olive thing though.

When we first saw her, my housemate and I agreed that she was one of the least attractive people we had ever seen on a reality show like this.

Did the frozen scallop incident teach us nothing?

Clearly, not.

Carla's the one I can't watch. Those eyes! Wow.

I really wanted to try Jamie's sweet corn soup. That sounded delicious.
