Well, the eel was seriously icky.
Actually, given that I'm so NOT a seafood person, I'm afraid this whole episode is going to be non-food-porn for me. Love Eric Ripert when he turns up on these shows, but not my kind of food, sadly.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

I think askye means Tatiana. the girl who mysteriously lost her accent in the course of her audition.

I love how Ripert is always so surprised and pleased when they're clean. I can't wait for his show. Though eel does nothing for me either.

Thrive to spite them
Oh yes I meant Tatina the giggler.
I had to change the channel after she got through that was so bad.
It seemed like (although it was hard to tell through the edit) that Pink haired girl forgot her lyrics because there was so much emphasis on the choreography.
I thought the group with the young widow guy with the glasses (White chocolate I think) had the best idea of hiding out in the kitchen away from everything. They had some dance moves but not a lot mostly just singing - a cappella! So cool.

This challenge is going to be brutal. Good thing there can be only one loser, as I suspect there will be more than one heinous screw up. I just hope someone besides Stefan knocks it out of the park, or he somehow screws up big time. Smug fucker needs to go DOWN!

Hmm, Carla might take it from Stefan, which would make me laugh and laugh.

I would love that.
Of the people likely to go home over this, I'd be happy to be rid of any of them. Well, Jamie and sad-sack what's-her-name anyway.

Because books.
I'm sort of shocked by the judge's decision. This is why it's good I don't bet on stuff like this.
I would also like to eat at La Bernadin right now, please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
God, I wanted to punch Leah in her face during the Quickfire, and then I REALLY wanted to punch Jamie when she said she was bored with the kind of food Eric Ripert makes. And then kept calling him Eric like they were peers! Sheesh. Anyway, I still think Leah should have gone.
I am glad most of the dishes seemed to be mostly good, though. I hate when they crash and burn.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm bullshit right now over "Top Chef." Does that mean I invest too much in these things?
