My big worry is that the break they get between the challenges and the semifinal will reset Carla's wackiness and Stefan's energy levels. I think if they went straight through, Carla might actually take it. Give 'em a rest, and Stefan's in a better position.
This. I hope that Carla manages to continue to keep her groove in New Orleans.

No, Tom saved him. They were trying to find something nice to say about it. He didn't respect the protein, and that's usually the kiss of death.
Usually that's true, but I have to say, giving Jacques Pépin bad hollandaise is the kiss of death. It's one of the five mother sauces, and if a chef can't do it right, they should go.
For me it was definitely between Hosea and Leah, but I feel bad for Hosea because the Shrimp Scampi / Tomate Provençale was such a bizarre combination in my mind.

I figured she was done when they pointed out that Eggs Benedict is all about the textures and she had all of them wrong. But after last week I didn't want to assume anything.

Speaking of last week...

I really liked the elimination challenge, as well. Just enough room for the cheftestants to express themselves, while needing to honor tradition as well.
I also loved that Carla knocked the peas out of the park. Something so seemingly simple, but she totally pleased the man who wanted the peas.

She really lucked out by finding fresh ones at the store--even the judges were surprised by the availability.
A good dish of green peas is not to be passed over. Yumm, peas!

and I liked that we could see her tasting them at the store, not just buying them blindly. With her simple preparation, all of the ingredients have to be perfect.

[link] - she should never have made it into the top 36 to begin with. she forgot her lyrics twice during hollywood week.
I don't want to hear the judges whine about people forgetting their lyrics this season because they put at least two people through who did that very thing during the last rounds in hollywood.
