She's just ... sour. And she went through a long period of doing badly, but not undertanding why they didn't like what she cooked.

Because books.
Or meatballs!
I don't mind Suzi, either. Christian, on the other hand, is a complete dick.

I think Christian may lose just for being obnoxious. He's disrespectful to the judges, as well as the other contestants.
Edited to add: and he's not going to be offered any consolation prize, either.

Thrive to spite them
So I've been reading Ben Starr's blog and getting some insight to the Masterchef process.
He said that one thing he's learned on Masterchef - he doesn't want to be a chef. At least not in a restaurant and not what Masterchef is looking for. Also he says he doesn't really eat "cuisine" or cook it (meaning gourmet expensive restaurant stuff). So a lot of times he was out of his comfort zone.
I'm still sorry to see him go and I liked him the best. Partially because he was often times very informative about hows and whys of cooking.]

I liked Ben a lot, too.
My husband says the same thing -- he loves to cook, but he's very clear that he does not ever want to do it professionally.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
MY BiL is a chef and he likes it, but so much of it is not cooking, or cooking something you don't particularly love. Ordering ingredients, managing staff, budgeting, etc. are a big part of being head chef anywhere.

When they had the two teams cooking in the Patina kitchen, Ben admitted he was in over his head. He really didn't like the rush, the pressure, the shouting. Suzi was smart there - she saw he was floundering and offered to switch stations.
Well, I guess Ben will go back to cooking for love (the word "amateur" comes from the Latin word for love ... amo, amas, amat and all that).

With some prodding from the judges.

Art Crawl!!!
The F Word started up again on BBCA.
Also, you have convinced me to watch Masterchef online. I am home sick today and this seems to be what I want or possibly need to do. (Stupid headcold.)

Oh, I forgot: Joe Bastianich is in business with Mario Batali. Have you guys been watching "Ciao, America"? They did Sunday supper with the combined Batali and Bastianich families on the most recent episode. (Cooking Channel). They had all the kids making pasta - it was cute.
