Seriously. I can't believe she thought that would be acceptable.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Right.
When Radhika didn't assign Jeff to do the sorbet - that should have been a sign of something wrong. Plus, Carla is a pastry chef - why not have her make pastry is she's doing the dessert?
(I bet Jeff would have figured out a way to make the sorbet work - because he has the experience OR would have realized early enough that they had to change up the menu.)

Punishingly Intricate
I agree that Radhika should have gone due to her poor decision making but man am I ready to see Leah & Hosea go. God they are annoying. And did Leah really have anything to do with "her" restaurant? She stormed off when Stefan was being bossy about the menu, she didn't name it, and all she made was crappy fish. Is she ever lucky that Fabio is charming and that Stefan is a really very good cook.

I wish that they had pulled Leah, Carla and Radhika out for the bottom three. Then there would have been a chance that Leah would be gone.
I fear that the Leah/Hosea romance will keep them in for a while.

I told Beau there was producer intervention in which was the worst team. I absolutely believe that.

Yeah, I can't believe that Stefan's dessert outweighed a raw fish entree that wasn't supposed to be raw.

Well it really was his dessert plus Fabio's charm. He COULD have been serving monkey ass and empty clam shells and people would have eaten it up!

ha! but still. I can overlook poor service, but I can't overlook poor (raw!) food!

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

She cooked one of the entrees. Badly, yes, but at least she cooked. (And the judges were pretty clear that only the customers' comment cards had saved her.)

Next season, I would really like to see Restaurant Wars as a 2-day challenge. Give them a chance to really work on a menu & test all the dishes before they open to the judges and the public. (This would also give the front of house person a chance to develop a dish, even if someone else winds up cooking it the night of service.)
