Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I'm furious with Casey, but I'm more mad at Carla for letting Casey happen to her. It was just a wrong decision and I wish Carla had stood up because I think her dishes, if successful, would have been winners.

Short of Carla winning, I wasn't going to be happy no matter what in this one. Dave was cheering for Hosea because he hates Stefan so much, but I didn't want either one of them to win.

Richard and Carla definitely would have worked well together. And Marcel didn't do badly with Stefan.

Oh, that freezing the fish thing was so stupid. I'm glad he lost just for that.

What was really annoying was that, because she had been first before, she got the "advantage" of picking the first knife. How is the order you do a random draw an advantage? She should have just gotten to pick her sous-chef directly.

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

Yeah, that was bullshit. Of course, she might have picked Casey anyway.

Because books.

Anyone else wondering why Fabio was there? Not that I wasn't thrilled to see him, but have they ever done that before -- invited an ousted chef to the finale dinner?

I think they've been doing that ever since the finale was 2 parts. (If they bring 4 to the finale city but only let 3 compete in the last challenge, chef #4 will always be hanging around with nothing to do.)

Well, the other 3 chefs (Jeff, etc.) were there too, but they didn't get to be part of the final meal.

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

I distinctly remember the Brians (MALARKY!) sitting in on the final dinner.

It's actually a good idea, you know they'll be tough critics.

Oh! Now I do, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I almost didn't recognize Malarky when he introduced himself as "Brian" in one of those terrible ads.
