I know! I didn't even watch the show (although I will) and I was telling the SO, "Tim Gunn needs to come and tell me how to dress. I would believe him."
Also, the spam dish was made of awesome! I love that he landed the seafood aisle by luck, but stepped up and made something else.
Glad Howie is gone, at last. I thought they would have just honored his backing out, just like they've done before. But, whatever, I don't care, he's gone! He didn't serve a dish at all in the quickfire and he served lousy dishes at the elim. He was gone, no matter what.
Hung is a nutcase, and from now on I'm going to quote him in smurf. "You closed-minded judges just didn't understand my smurfing vision! I smurfed that challenge and you know it!" Hee! I loved it. Little egg sun.
Oh, and did anyone else not like the guest judge? I thought that it was incredibly rude to look at Hung's dish and say "what the [bleep] is that?" He just kept cussing. It's kind of hypocritical because I'm a potty mouth, but if I were on television, I'd watch my mouth.
I agree Vortex, it startled me a bit. I mean, I'd be more WTF over Howie's non-dish than the thing Hung produced. I mean, it was odd, but it obviously took effort.
I did like how relaxed they all seemed during the QF tasting. Everyone was checking out the competing dishes and laughing together. I mean, beyond the rude, I think they were all mentally WTF over Hung's dish.

They really all seem to like each other which is nice to watch. I kind of loved Hung's dish. Way more appropriate to do something whackaloon like that in QuickFire rather than when having to serve it to actual, non-judge, people. Like the dude last season in the firehouse challenge (if I'm remembering correctly).
Yes, the guest judge was a douche. Obviously, his friends waited too late to do a douche intervention. We should look on with sorrow. . . I mean how could you not LAUGH at Hung's Smurf-scape? At least he didn't mistake salt for sugar.
Hung's dish was really hilarious. BF thought for sure Hung did a fuck you to the whole idea of that challenge though. But Hung's comments later seemed to belie this.
But really, what could you have done with that aisle? At least he wasn't going to get knocked for not being colorful! Ha!
The SO & I were talking about it, and we said, maybe you could have gotten some of the crunchier granola sorts of cereals and made...I dunno. Something whole-grain-y with them.
Hey, they only had $10. Cereal's like $4 a box!
Could you have done something creative with oatmeal? Maybe not in 20 minutes.
Maybe a granola omelet? The idea of that just made me sick.
I think what you could do with the stuff depends on what the limited supplies from the pantry were.
