I wouldn't be too upset if Stefan won because he does seem to be a very talented chef. Ilan, to me, seemed to get by on flash and luck and doing the one thing he knew how to do over and over.

And, despite how people were shying away from working with Stefan in a group due to his bossiness, he does actually seem to help out the other chefs.

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

Stefan is arrogant and obnoxious, but he's got talent and he's not playing adolescent drama games like Hosea and Leah. I don't like him, but i can live with him winning.

But I'm still rooting for Carla.

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

except for the meat being overcooked (which is huge but still)

HE DIDN'T HONOR THE PROTEIN! ZOMG!

Victor is me. There is no question that Stefan is incredibly talented, I just don't like him. This is different from chefs that I don't like who do the same thing all the time or someone else happens to be worse than they are.

Speaking of, my boyfriend made bacon-wrapped venison and bacon mashed potatoes last night and sent me pictures of it. Never have I been sadder that our relationship is long distance (for now).

Tom has evidently recovered from his Iron John weekend.

I don't mind Stefan so much. He's kind of an ass, but you can tell he's also kind of a goof. (I loved his "Andrea! Call me!")

This is me. He doesn't pretend *not* to be an ass, is the thing.

Everybody this year has been more than willing to help each other out, too, which I appreciate. None of Marcel's "I'm too busy."

yeah, you have to appreciate that. He is exactly who he appears to be. As much as I like Hosea, his sniping about Fabio and Stefan is childish (although I did love the kissy face he and Stefan were doing in the quickfire)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Possibly the one thing that keeps me liking Hosea is the fact that when Leah's fucking something up he's pretty frank about it. And without being nasty. In interviews, anyway. So the annoying and kind of distasteful personal situation at least isn't bleeding over into the competition. Which is a refreshing change from the usual shomance "any criticism of the person I'm obsessed with is bullshit".

But he brings plenty of other annoying stuff to the table so it only goes so far.

Leah on the other hand I just want off my screen. Now.
