If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And then the shrimp was COLD.

Seriously. People worried about serving sorbet in that set-up, but tempura's no better.

Oh man I like Eugene but he's very lucky Daniel was delusional about the food. What a mess!! And Carla not speaking up in the beginning drove me batty!

What else could they have done for New? I was thinking of something w/ new potatoes and baby vegetables. I don't know about the protein though.

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

Oh man I like Eugene but he's very lucky Daniel was delusional about the food. What a mess!!

I think it was clear Eugene new things were going wrong and was trying to salvage it, whereas Daniel was in full-on denial. The judges seem to be making the distinction this season a bit more than they have in some seasons past.

I really didn't understand why he didn't just make more rice! It's not like it takes that long. I wonder if the producers wouldn't let him.

Also, about last night's challenge, man that lamb and carrot dish looked delicious! But Jaime was being a brat about thinking she should win.
