I can't say I'm disappointed; he seems to live up the billing. Double for Daniel Craig, hey now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I kind of don't know why anyone would really try in the QF that sets the leaders for Restaurant Wars -- the leader of the losing team generally goes home, and you only have so much control over your team, even as the leader. I think being the star sous chef or whatever on either team puts you in a better position overall.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I was thinking the same thing, actually, and thought it was odd that Padma announced which competition it was before the battle. (Although it has to be when there either 8 or 6 competitors, so they probably knew.)
I just don't think it ever occurs to them to take a dive here.

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

I dunno, I think Jeff's salmon might have been a throw.

Looking at the actual winners there does kind of make me wonder.

And Jaimie mentioned not wanting to win. It must be hard to not try to do well though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Especially when they bring in an important guest judge.

Which is really the only explanation I have for her serving chilean sea bass in her restaurant celebrating "local sustainable" food!

Oh yeah! I hadn't even thought of that. @@
Although I guess concept didn't really matter since he picked Leah whose place was supposed to be, what, vaguely sort of Asian?

You might be right, actually. Jeff kept his head down the entire challenge -- usually, he's the guy stepping out in front and organizing people in team challenges -- which he's pretty good at, actually, although it often comes at the expense of attention to his own cooking.
Having been dinged on that before, and already having proved his leadership & management skills, I can totally see that he made a conscious decision to just focus on his cooking for this challenge and not stick his neck out.
Which is totally different from the Leah and Hosea strategy of "slack off and throw teammate under bus" from the previous episode, or their strangely winning strategy of "let's substitute romantic drama for anything of culinary value and let Stefan and Fabio do all the work."
Truly, they are failing upward.
