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.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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!

Art Crawl!!!
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OMG, DH and I were *cracking up* at how drunk she looked. It was hilarious.

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

And guess how I misread that at first!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Another board reminded me that it was Nikki who made Team Awesome re-rinse the shellfish, and thank goodness for that!
(WTF is wrong with me? I typed "Lisa" at first. I think I still just can't get my head around such a sucky Lisa.)
