I hardly think Itunes and Ipod need MORE pimping - and yet, I swear both have been mentioned 20x each within the first 10 minutes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

TC: Oh man, the guy from the upscale mexican place will never live this down.

yeah, he didn't look happy. but, he was annoying with is over pronounciation of the spanish names. he may have raised Bayless' expectations too much.

Well, yeah, a Mexican-American guy working in a Mexican restaurant? Should have had some tricks up his sleeve!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Well, Dos Caminos doesn't do upscale Mexican, though. That dude seemed to be looking for the Mexican inspired rather than the authentic Mexican. Cause that jicama taco might've been yummy, but I doubt Manuel gets down like that. And his pronunciation was what it was. I don't think he was overpronouncing the names of the ingredients because that's how they are pronounced. Should he have anglicized his pronounciation to make it sound less Spanish? Not that I'm a huge Manuel fan, but this challenge was really designed for him to fail and also look like a sad sack.

I kinda really hate Dale where I really kind of liked him at first. He's got all of Hung's attitude but none of the discernible talent to back it up. At least so far.

On AI, so long Chikezie (no longer Eze). I can't say that I'm really all that sad to see him go since he wasn't gonna win anyway. Interesting B3, though. People really hate Syesha. Dude.

Yeah, I guess not.

Anyway, all of these people need to figure out how to transport food to be eaten later.

Seriously.

And the mouthing off to the judges? Kee-razy.

yeah, any idiot knows that you shouldn't plan to serve fried food later.

oh, that was unexpected. I thought that that pasta salad would be a killer. OTOH, the fried food thing was a no brainer.

I can't believe we didn't get to see Colicchio smack down what's his name. Your house? Oh HELL no.
