And btw, coming in first only matters on the last leg.

Unless you want a trip to Fiji. Cindi does need to chill the hell out, but I got where she was coming from on this one.

So glad to see the last of the father/son team. God, that man is a tool.

Marcus and Amani have basically killed any interest I have in how long they stay. But I enjoyed how much fun Marcus was having with the rabbits.

Also, those rabbits were some badass jumpers.

Wish I still had a bunny so I could train it in Rabbit Agility.

I was burbling and squeeing throughout that ENTIRE challenge. I was so happy that both U-Turns got used so we could see MOAR BUNNEEZ.

I was also pretty thrilled to see Zach and Zach's Asshole Dad Whose Name I Have Already Forgotten go home.

They didn't even try to get a better flight, just slept in the airport. Arrrghh.

That made me CRAZY. Dudes, unless you know for sure that you are way way ahead, not seeing other teams in the airport should be a GIANT red flag to get off your butt and do something!!

Still, I'm not gonna lie, Marcus pep-talking that rabbit went a long way towards making me love them again.

Top Chef fans: "Last Chance Kitchen" is available on the Bravo website and is also On Demand if you've got Comcast.

OMG the bunnies. Seriously.

I'm glad we won't have to hear Zac call Amani "Armani" anymore.....

And I can't believe no one U-Turned the snowboarders. It seemed like such a key moment to do it! Weren't they fairly middle of the pack at that point? I don't understand almost anything about the psychology of the U-Turn.

I didn't understand that either - as much as it was kind of a dick move to U-Turn Bill and Cathi, U-Turning the team right behind you (who could easily pass you in transit) seems like a much better strategy to me than U-Turning a team who might be hours behind and never threaten you at all.

For the first team, U-turning Bill and Cathi made sense since it was the team right behind them that was threatining the win. But for Bill and Cathi all they needed was a cushion to make sure that somebody was still behind them. U-turning a strong right behind you could backfire if they still managed to pass you up. The snowboarders were already doing the butter, right? So U-turning them would just keep them neck and neck. (Mind you, on that basis Marcus and Amani would have been the smartest move, so I wouldn't discount the personal element in who they chose either.)

Of course, the bunny task appears to have been way faster than the butter one so it wouldn't have played out that way. But if it had been like the last one with two physically grueling tasks, U-turning a team right behind you isn't a sure thing.

First place gets prizes, usually, and not shabby ones. So I totally understand why Cindy wanted to go for one.

I totally loved her dancing on the sidelines along with Ernie. She may be a type-A competitor, but she loves and respects her partner.

The costuming for the dancing was AMAZING. I hope they got a couple more pictures of Cathi in that getup, she looked so authentic -- in fact all the competitors looked great. I wasn't surprised that the snowboarder aced the dancing.

As for the bunnies -- couldn't have been happier that we got a couple of Uturns so we got bonus rabbit-hopping. Marcus couldn't have been cuter urging Amani and/or the rabbit along, and then coaxing his bunny over the finish line.

Zac's left feet weren't the only things dooming his team, evidently they were having trouble navigating Denmark's well-marked highways.

(The one thing you can say for Amani and Marcus camping out in the airport is that they may have been more well-rested than some of the other teams. There comes a point when you have to go Zen. For all we know, they had already researched as many flight opportunities as there were, the editing isn't telling us.)

I feel like the two best ways to go are (1) the team right behind you, because you then know you're gaining on them or (2) a strong team that's not currently in the lead, because the extra task could get them out of the game, and I think that one's actually smarter play. Of course, personal relationships blah blah blah.

And in Bill & Cathi's case, the snowboarders were both of those.

The logic behind turning Amani & Marcus may have been that they were considered so far behind that it would be putting them out of their misery -- up to that point, they hadn't been seen for hours, IIRC. Also, if you grab the U-turn choice, you block other teams from using it, so there's that.
