"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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Because books.

Andrew. Who so needs some kind of sedative. Jesus. Twitchy much?

Also? YOU DON'T TALK SMACK TO THE BIG BEAR.

Yeah, I think that Andrew is manic. Like, seriously. I'm still liking him though. Of course, I hate Colicchio, so I enjoy anything that upsets him.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I thought the guy with the attitude hat was the most obnoxious until that whole "my house" shit.

They sent the right chef home, though. Corndogs barely stay crispy through the time your eating them, let alone covered, transported, etc. He should have known. That entire team has a monster attitude problem (if the previews weren't done by crack monkeys).

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I thought that whole team's attitude (except, I will grudgingly admit, Dale) was just nasty. "Let's make food these locals will enjoy" somehow did not equal "Let's make great tasting, high quality food." WTF? You were there as chefs not entertainers. Nobody is gonna care if you were magic in the dunk tank if your food sucked.
