I think that they should have dumped her BECAUSE she didn't try so that Arianne would get the blame.

I don't think that she deliberately didn't try, I think that she thought "well, it's Ariane's dish, so it doesn't matter". Not that that isn't a shitty way to look at it, but I don't think that she was trying to sabotage Ariane.

I was surprised that no one turned to the grill. It's SUMMER, grilled meat is the way to go. Especially with the lamb. A very simple grilled lamb with an olive oil, rosemary, and garlic rub would have been fabulous.

I think that they are afraid to do salads as a main course because so many people have gotten sent home with salads. OTOH, Ariane won a challenge with a salad (though judged by the Today palattes).

That surprised me too. Was it Team Lamb who brought up the grill and then immediately rejected it?

Oh, and I so want Stefan to crash and burn. Smug is bad enough, but he's gone full-blown smarmy. He definitely epitomizes the word backpfeifengesicht to me.

I don't know what that word means but I'm completely willing to agree with you.

Far and away my favorite German word.

ION, the new judge is annoying me with his forced quippyness.

Okay, schadenfreude has just been replaced. Pronounced "Back-FI-fen-geist"? or gisht?

I've been pronouncing it "back-fi-FENGA-siked". But I could be wrong.
