Yeah, there's still a lot of room between the good and the best. There's still some paring to be done to get it down to the better and best. I just hope they finally get rid of Tatiana, she's about gotten on my last nerve.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Carla was a model? Did not see that coming. Granted, she's in her 40s, so I can see how back in the day she may have had that look.
Winning over Stefan with Green Eggs and Ham? Fucking PRICELESS! Hope she rocks the house for Jacque.

my recording of Top Chef skipped from Leah bringing her dish out (1st course) to Fabio bringing his dish out (4th). What the hell!
I'm glad Fabio rocked it though! That might have to be my last meal too. Maybe mashed potatoes though. yum.

Oh my god I love Jacques Pepin so much. What a gentleman!

I think Stefan just screwed the pooch! Much as I would like Leah gone (not Carla), I'd LOVE Stefan out of there. It would probably be Carla's to lose at that point, and I'm now so pulling for her.

Because books.
If Carla wins the whole thing, I will get merrily drunk and write her a ridiculous fan letter.
Fabio is so adorable, though. I mean, he broke his finger! "I'll cut it off and sear it on the stovetop! I'm not going to the hospital!" Man, he is awesome for soundbites.
And I agree, Jacques Pepin is charming and wonderful.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Man, he is awesome for soundbites.
"I always said I could cook with one hand behind my back, but I wasn't intending to prove it." HAH!
Glad Leah's gone. Even more happy for Fabio and Carla. Stefan ... well, he's earned his keep. I'd dump Hosea off a bridge to have Jamie back, though.

Yes, this.
Stefan is a fantastic chef, but he always fucks up when he's overconfident, to the point that he thinks he has no competition. A little humility goes a long way.
