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

I also thought (a) his drink was way too sweet (though Fabio had a similar problem) and (b) his beignet wasn't liked by some of the judges.
My impression was that his beignet was good, but Carla's was better.
I think he and Fabio were about even on the drinks.

Jessica's impression is about the same as mine. In fact, before the judging even started I said, "Well, looks like Fabio's gone, and Stefan if Jeff wins."
Very happy to see Carla be so strong at the end of the game.
I missed a bunch of the episode - why was Jeff back?
The Quickfire was a competition among the last 3 eliminated to get back in the game.
Ah! Thanks, Jess!
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?

Exactly. And, much as I love Fabio, I think that Stefan is the better chef, especially if he brings his A game. His cockiness will be his undoing. But, he's been called on it, so maybe he'll step up in the finale.
