What I'm wondering is when exactly the other team decided to change their "brilliant" strategy of throwing challenges, because they were clearly trying to win that one.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
There was a scene addressing that after the reward challenge-- Peih Gee and Jaime realized Sherea and Frosti may not be allied with them anymore. Arguably Sherea sealed her fate right there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Next Iron Chef: I almost feel like Cosotino should have been axed just for freaking out at the camera people. It's not the best chef show, you know? It's the tv-show chef show!

Jesse - I know! That was ridiculous - what is it that he thinks he's going to win?
I don't get why he wasn't eliminated on the basis of his food - he had two bad dishes and one non-descript one. At least Sanchez had one outstanding dish.

Thrive to spite them
I watched the first 3 Next Iron Chef episodes, it was interesting to see the challenges. The Resourcefullness was probably my favorite of them, but it was weird to see 2 chefs not really do a second dish of their protien, one of them said he didn't want to do 2 of whatever his protein was (frog legs or snails) which just seemed weird to me since this is Iron Chef and the whole concept is to make 5 dishes around the same secret ingredient.
And I was annoyed at Sanchez getting upset when he couldn't plate his food because he ran out of time. Again, it's one of the rules of Iron Chef.

That was the moment he lost me. I was ready for him to go home after that. I was disappointed when Morou went home first.
Do we think the final challenge will be the final two chefs in Kitchen Stadium doing an IC battle? Because that would be fun.
I'm betting it comes down to Symon v. Besh. I'm rooting for Symon.
