I'll admit that they were faced with some very tough competitions and interesting ingredients. There may be several suprises and unlikely top contenders to come up. It's not clear just yet who is solid enough to consistently impress, should make for an interesting season indeed.
I hope evenstar is able to watch it. I always like her comments, since she's a chef and all...
I agree the ingredients were pretty interesting. I would never have figured out a way to use escargot, artichokes, American cheese food and peanuts. Of course, I'm not real big on smails, regardless of what you call them.

i saw a recap at 4 today on bravo. YES! the fun is back! i totally geeked out when i saw it was going to be on.
the competition was a fun one. very random ingredients, but that makes it fun! i started making my mock menu for what i would have done for the mystery basket. i couldn't come up with anything that exciting for first set of ingredients, but i came up with something fun for the 2nd set. i would have boned the frogs legs and ground the meat and made a burger out of it. i would have sliced the eggplant, and deep fried it after coating it in the cornflakes ( crushed of course) which would act as the bun. i would have made fries out of the potatoes, and made a peanut dipping sauce.
the new contestants seem like fun. the one guy, i think his name is marcel, he seems like steven the 2nd, but he can't walk the walk when steven could. steven was arrogant, but he won challenges. maybe this guy will, but until he does, he needs a heavy dose of humble pie. i like the girls in this one. well i don't like that pastry chef who said she would use her sexuality to her advantage. what is this, parvati from survivor? get over yourself! i like that 23 year old who doubted herself in the immunity challege, but she was one of the top 4. i'll root for her. lets get a girl winner this time!!!
i loved harold as the guest judge. he's so cute
the new host is even worse then the girl from last season! oh she's painful!

meh.. looks like a wanna be j.lo to me. (just my opinion)
as for todays episode.... EEEHHHHHHHH. I PASSIONATELY hate that black haired chef (who claims to be a model) who got into it with Otto. While I agree maybe it was the right choice for him to go since he had already been on the chopping block, something about her REALLY rubs me the wrong way. She is now on my list. I can't wait till she is gone, plus apparently her dessert was horrible. Betty is growing on me. She has a cute personality.
I just watched the first episode and will catch this weeks later when it repeats 100 times. I grew up in restaurants (both parents operated restaurants in Sac) and absolutely love this show. I thought the girl they booted was kind of cute but she was in way over her head and I knew she was gone before they got through the quick fire.
The host is an improvement over Billy Joel's daughter but she has some odd scar or other distraction on her arm that was bugging me.
Yeah, I'm shallow when it comes to tv personalities. Sue me.

Of course, if he came up with a garlic dish, most likely all would be forgiven.
But of course!!
I think they only missed one week - the night before Thanksgiving. I've been watching it all along. I wasn't too sad to see the person leave tonight.
The challenges are still pretty interesting. The idea of feeding a whole group of hungry surfers breakfast isn't for the weak of heart.

I will agree that Marcel needs to go. In the previews for this week, it shows him saying something to the judges about someone who has "continually cheated"... While he may follow the letter of the rules, he certainly doesn't do much to foster friendly competition. I know I would never return to a restaurant where he was if I did happen to meet him.
I like Sam best, I believe.

hahaha i hope it's marcel who's cheating. he's so redundant at times. how many foams do you think he'll make over the duration of the finals? not to mention he did salmon and beets twice.....
i'm rooting for ilan, but i have a feeling sam is going to win. elia might sneak in, but i have a feeling the final 2 will be ilan and sam, with sam winning.
still, go ilan! he's my man! mi amour
