Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw. I am heartbroken. But right now, I think Carla can really take it, because of the soul factor. Is Stefan going to bring that out like Hung finally did? Not so sure.

Because books.
I am SO excited Carla won that. But I am heartbroken about Fabio.

I'm REALLY going to have to be convinced by blogs that this wasn't producer interference or, more likely, misleading editing, because it sounded like every step of the way the that Fabio had done slightly better than Stefan , especially attitude wise. Totally rooting for Carla now. Stefan was a fucking punk tonight, and not in the good sense.
So psyched for Carla, though. And I'm curious if the oyster stew would have been as good if she had steamed the oysters as Tom said she could have in his aside.

I sense the hand of the producers in this one. They probably were neck and neck, and the producers cast the tie vote. But, Fabio can be content because you know that he'll win fan favorite.

Don't you think the producers would have kept Fabio? If anything, I bet Tom was arguing based on the season of cooking, not just the one meal, which they aren't supposed to do still, right?

Don't they need a villain at this point? Stefan brings the villainy.

Unfortunately, unlike the church lady last year (aka kitty-butt-face), Stefan has a shot at taking it if he doesn't slack off like he did last night. Those cigarette breaks were priceless.

Trust my rage
Fabio dislikes cilantro! I think he's wrong like a wrong thing but he could be one of us!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't see producer intervention here. The biggest complaint about Stefan's food was that no local chef would ever put gumbo over grits - nobody said it didn't taste good.
Out of all the dishes they tasted, Fabio's pasta sauce was the only one they really had issues with (Tom kept going on about how the flavors weren't layered), so I thought it was pretty clear he would go home.
Poor Jeff, though. 2nd place and eliminated anyway!
