Oh no, Stephanie, Richard and Antonia must be in the top three.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Oh no, Stephanie, Richard and Antonia must be in the top three.
I know, I would have traded Antonia for Dale based on talent, but as it stands? No contest.
Oh, and scarily people over at TWOP are mentioning the name "Wendy Pepper" in connection with Lisa. Please. . NO.
There's some serious, full-blown crazy going on at TWOP today, particularly the people blaming Tom (evidently for being absent) and Bourdain (for being too hard on Dale). One person was comparing Tom to Pialte and ranting that he can't wash his hands of it just because he wasn't there. Wow. Seriously, folks. It's a TV show.

I am curious why none of the judges are blogging this episode. Ted's says "gone fishing" aka no blog this week, and no sign of Bourdain.

AI: Glad I spoiled myself last night, or I would have been really pissed with my TiVo for cutting off just as Seacrest said the winner is David...
TC: I would have loved for Spike or Lisa to go home, but I have to say I'm happy that they chose Dale, despite the fact that I think he is a better cook. That was not the first time he failed at being a "chef" in the true sense of the word.

I wanted Lisa to go. Both of her dishes were bad. However, Dale did make a lot of bad calls. When they didn't have the right rice, they should have reevaluated, or at least had a backup plan.
I think that Dale is a better chef, and can do well under the right circumstances.
Lesson: never be executive chef -- they ALWAYS get the boot. or, if you are exec chef, make sure your dish is TIGHT. Tre got kicked off last year over bread pudding!

Be the sous chef.
Although, didn't Miguel who was the sous chef get booted in Season one?
BTW, one of the diners at Antonia, Richard and Stephanie's restaurant said that as part of the gastro-pub concept they served a chosen beer with each course. (Somebody had remarked on Padma seeming extra slurry this week.)

I wish they'd gone into details on that.

Because books.
I thought that, too, at judges' table! I don't usually notice it, but last night she was surprisingly effusive.
