Same. I so wanted her to win and really thought she had it this year. Heck, even Maneet thought the same from her comment when she was watching the judging in her dressing room. Possibly it was the editing, but nothing bad was said about Antonia's dishes other than the cacao not being forward enough. I did hear criticism though about Maneet's sauce. I like Maneet and I know she won because she is a master of the randomizer, but I can't help but feel that Antonia was robbed. I've already told my hub that I want my birthday dinner next month at Antonia's Scopa Italian Roots restaurant in Venice, CA. And I'm not even a huge fan of Italian food!

This was a great season finale, but dang for making us wait until 2025 for the Del and Jacob reunion! The Colton time travel thing really confuses me. Will he visit Del somehow and mess up her budding romance with Sam? I'm a little clearer (but not a lot!) on the Casey sitch with seeing the same ring Alice was wearing. There has to be a family connection, right? So many questions!

Chris took himself out of the competition with his mistake grabbing and working Jordon's pizza dough. It didn't seem as though he really recovered from that. Everyone has off days and I'm sure he'll be kicking himself for a while over that. Christina's voice/way of speaking drives me bonkers. Without the immunity pin, I do think she would've been gone from this round.

I missed the show this week! I do see one more set to record next week at least.

The way I interpret it is a bogey is a someone who you don't see coming and then they take you out.

I am seeing real connections with two of the farmers and a couple of the gals. Can I remember their names though? No. Did I understand correctly, Joy saying she has no empathy or emotion? So are the great big wide smiles just fake? That's pretty ironic. And I'd run from that red flag.

I think Andy was afraid of that too. I'm all for looking sexy, but that ill fitting dress wasn't a good look on Sonja.

I get it because it bugs me too. She sounds very condescending. In full transparency though, Larsa could say that I had won a $5M lottery and I'd still despise her. Why did we have to have the commentary from Marcus and occasionally Jody from the dressing room? Jody didn't bug much, but Marcus... Ugh! Marcus you would not be on the couch to defend Larsa because you are NOT A HOUSEWIFE!!! Stay in your boyfriend lane! Alexia and Marysol are fine. They seem to bicker occasionally and get over it quickly.

I wonder if Elliott will ever try the pond? He is a direct descendent from the olden days or does it only work for someone of Landry blood? Why don't they just tell Del? I mean, I know it's the plot, but anything at this point would ease her heartbreak over losing Jacob. Not getting where Casey fits into everything or even why they're there.

I guess Chelsea can be grateful that Jimmy didn't do to her, leaving her at the altar like Clay did to A.D. And we were spared the endless whines and pouts and so much of her drama. My heart broke for A.D. I believe she truly was in love and Clay was just in lust. I know they know what they've signed up for but still... so painful. A.D. definitely deserves better than Clay and I hope she finds it. Jimmy and Amy are adorable and I hope they go the long haul. Their families, actually all of the families that we saw were pretty incredible this season. Looking forward to the reunion!

I REALLY don't see what Jimmy sees in Chelsea. Her whine is beyond annoying and she's just irrational and so so insecure. She's exhausting! I wonder if we'll ever seen anything else of Kenneth and Brittany. Their relationship end was so abrupt I just have to wonder what else happened. Maybe they'll be at the reunion.

How are more people not watching and commenting on this franchise? It is probably the best of all of them right now! Larsa... she is a disgusting human being and Lisa is a close second. And I used to like Lisa until this season. It's hard for me to watch either of them. I do skip through a lot of Lisa's stuff and Larsa and Marcus' scenes. What 50's woman gets a promise ring? Please. I agree @Keywestclubkid... Larsa is pure trash. Not to speak ill of the dead, but I think Nicole's dad must've taken a Viagra before the party. It's nice that Nicole got to tell him she was pregnant before he passed. Kiki has earned her mojito for next year and I hope she gets it. Guerdy and Russell are an amazing couple. I full on ugly cried when he was shaving her head and then again when she rang the bell at the end of her chemo treatments. I also really like her and Nicole's friendship. It seems genuine and not just show related.

I would be very fine with not ever having to hear Jeff shout that phrase ever again. 🙂

I enjoyed last night's new episode. Cole and Shell were a great team who worked so well together. They both had great skill sets and the respect they showed for each other was refreshing. I do think their ending PSRs should've been higher though. I'd be happy to see them on another challenge.

Alex has said on social media that it will be back, but didn't give any timeframe.
