Yeah, immunity again was a big surprise, and the quickfire judge was absurd. You asked them to make po boys, not a five-course French meal.
I was so happy to see Shirley and Nina do so well.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

I will go left if Nicholas makes the final over Nina. I swear! I couldn't believe that they didn't send him home last night. Gotta be the drama factor.
I am also not a fan of immunity still being in play. I was glad that Shirley won anyway, so no chance to repeat last week's drama.
Chef Roy Choi? No. Way too ready for his close up for my taste.
I do think a Nina/Shirley/Carlos final 3 would be a pretty darn good one. They all seem like talented chefs.

Under the Gunn: It's funnish! I do love seeing Tim, and I adore Nick and Mondo. It's fascinating to see how the different mentors approach mentoring, and what they want their mentees to do (is that a word?).
And any show where Tim chokes up is a good one, I say.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, good to hear. I'm recording it but I have no idea when I will actually get around to watching it. So much TV!

That girl is a drama llama, and I see bad things happening with her. Nick has his work cut out for him.

yeah, what the hell is going on with that???
The food truck thing with Jon Favreau and Drago's oysters was in the parking lot of my neighborhood grocery store, Breaux Mart. You can see Salu and Reginelli's across the street. Pretty sure that was staged just for the show, it's not something I've ever seen there.
Also, I love Reconcile, I need to get back there soon. It was closed for a bit in 2012 for renovations (looks gorgeous) and I haven't been back since.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Roy Choi is a "chef's chef" but honestly, every time on TV I've thought he comes across as an enormous asshole.
That said, Nick can fuck right the hell off. I am so over his tantrums.

Not an unusual thing in the restaurant biz.

It's a lot more understandable now why he didn't get invited back to the restaurant where he was working after the ownership changed hands. I wonder if it was Le Bec Fin.

No. Shit.
He is getting the villain edit, but I'm here for it.
