It costs $10 to drive past the place.

Ahhahahahahahaha!! Love Ted Allen.

Oh, Ted! Man, I miss him when he's not on.

Some more gems from Ted:

So long, Dude From That 70s Show.

He's right! Mark was Hyde without the aviator shades.

And then, just when you were reveling in the drama, savoring a battle well won, and bidding farewell to another talented chef, along comes this random bit of nasty from Andrew: “I have a culinary boner right now.”

Great to know, Andy. Somebody hide the pie.

Bwah!

People with families of 4 to feed on a $10 budget? Do not shop at Whole Foods.

So, so very true.

But I think Mark when compared to others really didn't buy as much. And sadly, Markwise just hadn't wowed the judges at all. I have to say that I thought that the judges were off in thinking that kids won't eat curry. I bet in New Zealand and in the UK they do. (And surely they do in India PADMA.)

I was v. worried about Stephanie. And kind of pissed off that Lisa is still here.

Next episode looks excellent. I can hardly wait.

Bwah.

This season's cast really is potty-mouthed and whiny, aren't they?

Yeah, but everyone else managed to work some protein in, and even at WF sweet potatoes are pretty cheap.

I think that if he'd had a better dish, they wouldn't have worried about the protein.

I think that keeping Lisa was a producer decision, she will undoubtedly have more friction with Dale, and that 's good ratings.

I think that Spike was less of a douche this ep because they didn't have him talking to the camera as much. That's when he really comes off as an asshole, less in the kitchen.

I'm really not hearing the whiny except for a couple of them (Lisa & Spike especially). No more so then in past seasons and they are loads better than Season 2. Nobody even blinked when the kids came in, for example.

I'm thinking stuff like Zoe whining about how Richard's dish must have tasted awful. "If that's what they want, then ..." And even guy-whose-name-I-can't-remember complaining about making tacos fine dining.
