Are there three more rounds, or just one round of the final four (having not seen prior seasons)?
Two more rounds -- they'll cut one, and then there's a final three extravaganza.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, Jesse.
Also, I didn't realize they got time off before the finals. I agree, Victor, I can see that working either as a benefit or a hinderance.
Of Richard, Antonia and Stephanie, I actually think it's Richard who works least well under pressure, though I do think they all work well under pressure to some degree (especially compared to Lisa, who gets mega-sloppy and takes short cuts in those situations).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't believe I forgot to watch TC!!! I spent all evening fucking around on Facebook...on the plus side I did win two games of Scramble and one of Pathwords. That's something, right?
Can't wait to see Spike get the boot.

My favorite thing was during his exit voiceover where he talked about how he thought he brought more of himself than any of the other cheftestants to the battle. Yeah Spike, you did - unfortunately "yourself" is a smug douchenozzle.

Art Crawl!!!
I worry that Stephanie won't perform well in the elimination quick fire. Although, I REALLY want Lisa to be gone then.
A finale with Stephane, Richard and Antonia would be excellent.
Lisa's problems - with technique, seasoning, etc - all seem to stem from her inabilitly to believe that somebody else knows better than she does.

Because books.
Stephanie, Richard, and Antonia have been my favorites for a while, and are really the three nicest, sanest people in the competition, so I'm thrilled.
I am not, however, thrilled about Lisa being in the final four with them. I get that she can cook (I guess) but leading a kitchen? Being "top chef"? No way.
Spike's last-ditch "It was an honor" to the guest judge after he snarked about the frozen scallops was just so AssHat Spike, it wasn't even funny.

Absolutely. It's a wonder she made it through culinary school in the first place.

Oh dear, TWoP's recaplet ends brutally:
Spike's frozen scallops prove a bigger sin than Lisa's not-hot shrimp and general apathy, so he packs his hats and she rounds out the final four, meaning it's three ladies, and Lisa, in Puerto Rico. Break out the caftans!

ugh, yes. Although it was funny when he got back to the waiting room and was like, "I can't believe I said the thing about the walk-in!" dumbass.
The time off should be after the next elimination (if it's not that sourfaced bitch I'm going to ...throw some sort of fit), right? Between that and the finale? But Lisa's hair was totally different in the previews.
