Crucial

I loved this episode because I thought the costumes were spot on. Vanessa as Kyle was fantastic. I did like the face to face Trump with Mike and Chuck - then Chuck leaving and showing the tail. That was funny. I love this show but I don't like how Mike hates Halloween now for the past two seasons after being so into it the previous 4. For me, I never believed Vanessa as a teacher and that being her dream. She wasn't that good when she was shadowing either. Also, she didn't like the kids in Eve's class on career day. Maybe there is another field she could go into that relates to her degree.

I don't get having the losing team do a punishment if a douche decides they aren't going to do. They should have to do the punishment or hand in their jacket. Neither Matt nor Gia have anything to offer to this show that really warrants them to stay cooking wise. But they offer drama and that's really what this show is now and has been for a while.

The two new judges are awful and Jeff Dunham is kind of annoying (and I like his specials that are on tv). The only bright spot was Carla. At least she has some personality. This is what, the 3rd time we have to see Damiano in a show and I still don't get the appeal of him. Could they get no other judges? It doesn't seem like the bakers are all that strong this time around. The only 3 (don't remember their names), for me, I thought were good was the one who won the first challenge and the one who won the final challenge and the runner up.

That's what I thought too LexieLily. I turned off when it was her and Richard as the final two. They should have had different judges in each episode. I didn't see the point of having the same 3 when they have never done that with any other Championship.

Well I guess they had to freak us out with Alex on the bottom. Judges are afraid to say anything negative to her. Speaking of the judges, the one guy with the hat and glasses. I hope he is done with the judging for a while. I don't care if he won a GGG competition either. He's awful and I don't think some of these chefs care for him. Loved when Eric shut him up about this BLT. I'm sure it will be Richard and Alex as the final two with Alex winning. She's an Iron Chef and Queen Alex.

Of course Alex is safe. She is, after all, the Queen. I'm betting she wins this one or is the final two. I thought her and Eric should have been in the bottom with Marc and Maneet. Jet and Richard's was more creative on the steak and eggs over the chili cheese fries.

I bet you're right it probably was them.

I totally agree about Terra. Jasmine is just as bad. It baffles me that she blames Christy for Brianna getting served papers. You don't pay your bills (and her perverted husband said on tv 'I told you to take care of that') you will get served. They will find you, they always find you. It's no ones fault but Brianna. Did Christy make you not pay your debt too? If they could spin it that way I am sure they would.

I wish I could have seen the first season. I do love this show. I felt bad for Megan this episode. I think she realizes and doesn't want her relationship to be like her parents have or had. So her telling her father that (if it's true) I don't have a problem with. From what we have been told he cancels on her and it's been her mom to took care of her. And her telling her father in the conversation - what if her mom died what would happen to her. I don't know if it was editing for dramatics but her father didn't say right away Me, I will take care of you. It was we all will after a pause. I didn't like that. If that's your child you say right away (again maybe editing held back to create drama). Maybe that's why the mom over compensates with Megan. I just didn't get a warm vibe from her father. He was there to show that he's her father and he interacts with her. At the end of the visit I heard Megan say I love you but I didn't hear her father say it back to her. Maybe I need to watch again but I swear that happened. I don't know, maybe it's skewed but my gut was the dad was just there for camera time. I didn't see an answer to her to help her fears and I heard no I love you. Maybe I missed it....hope I did. I think Rachel is great and I loved how she talked with her friend about how her jealousy is wrong. Christina's parents were awesome in dealing with the situation. Hope it works out great.

Terra is a nasty person so I am hoping she is voted off first and I say that with Ryan being on the show too. I find her vile this season on her show so I hope she goes home first for the horrible person I see her to be.

Terra is a nut job plain and simple. Her husband is just as bad too. She wasn't invited to the party yet she goes behind Tonya's back to her daughter and asks to be invited. I would be livid with my daughter doing that let alone going on tv not defending her but going along with Terra. So what if she invited Christy Terra. You seem to be buddy, buddy with Briana now and Tonya isn't yelling at you about it. Elena shouldn't have nosed in to the conversation. I guess Tonya was right Elena, your line didn't do that well. Brianna and Matt deserve each other. I doubt a lawyer is going to be asking Christy where Brianna is. I'm sure he had her where abouts long ago. Don't blame anyone but yourself Brianna, you didn't resolve the matter. That's the reason you were served. Or did you want to keep on dodging the lawyer. I hate people like that who want to blame someone else for getting caught for something they did. I think they went to far with the whole Christy being talked about being on drugs. I don't want to see people fall/fail but I hope Terra has a huge backlash and problems if that claim is false.

I wanted to disagree with Tonya but Terra is just a bitch. A bitch who is a producer. Please that stupid innocent act at the end "i shouldnt' have said anything' ugh. You need acting classes still. Still I mean by that crying act with Brianna you did. Brianna must have sucked up good to you to be friends again.. What is Tonya now the one on the out for Terra ( and you were too stupid to understand that Tonya was saying)? This show would be better without her.

I see Terra is her usual self. I do not believe her crying to Brianna was real at all. Just for the cameras. She went from the reunion to now crying to her? Please Producer knows how to get another part on the show. I'm betting all those ladies added into what Christi said too. None of them are too shy from the press if it will help their storyline. And please Jasmine oh please you fame monger too. You now have the place Christi had and you are just as bad too. I cannot stand her the most of all the ladies on here. Matt is still disgusting and this show still has him on it. Shame, shame, shame on you.

Of the 3 I was hoping it was Jernard. I liked his pilot the most. Not a Damiano fan but honestly it should have been these men in the final two spots, not Tregaye. I won't watch Tregaye, nor search for her online show. Never saw her explain what her point of view was. She said fusion and on fleek but don't know what it means. I was tired of her when she did the whole 'yesss' while pouring the red liquid on her food. She did nothing to show what she knows, her food was awful and the promo was even worse. Yaku should be in the final 3 instead of her. So I guess now I will have to add Tregaye to the Guys Grocery Games she will appear on and mute her as I do with the annoying Melissa D. Please DO NOT go on the Beat Bobby Flay shows.

Tregaye should have been the one to go home. Her food and her presentation was awful. And Bobby whispering she really wants it? Like Yaku doesn't? I wouldn't tune in to watch her show because I just find her annoying. And for me that really showed in her pilot. I couldn't understand one thing Damiano said in his presentation other than puff pastry. He spoke way too fast. I just don't get the whole drooling over him. It must be something you have to see in person because seeing him on screen he is just not that hot. I wouldn't watch his show either. He doesn't seem to have patience in being told what to do. Jernard was the best of the bunch and I enjoyed watching his promo. Hopefully he wins.

There will be a time (I only hope it's VERY soon) that this family will be shot down for the crap they do. I'm not team Taylor but I really, really want there to be a lawsuit against Kim and Kanye and it have the very negative effects to them. I'm sick of them both. I only hope Khloe will pick the wrong one to bully and it has very, very bad effects on her whole persona. I'm tired of them doing whatever they want to to do in the media and getting aways with it. There will be a time when their whole family is off the grid. One can only hope Pimp Momma Kris's deal with the Devil isn't too much longer. I can't wait to see that big ass Kim desparate for any attention and getting none. That would be a perfect for that fame whore.

Dean is just creepy. Even looking at him and hearing him talk just creeps me out. I can't imagine even being around him. Tara seems to think she is some A or even B list star that has a great reputation she needs to protect. You're a train wreck and have been known as a train wreck for quite a long time. No way they are a couple at all. If it wasn't for Sharknado she wouldn't be Tara fuckin' Reid. She'd be Tara 'remember me' Reid.

Good to hear that part of it. If they inherited from their father, I wonder if Brian got 'stuck' with this while the brother got the fresh fish place. I think that part is kind of a big deal. He owed his brother $30K. If the fresh fish was successful and that brother took that and didn't have anything do with the hotel, that's not fair. I don't remember hearing anything on that and shame on Hotel Hell for not saying. The whole episode was off and I can't side with either. This one of all shows needed a Part 2. I don't think Gordon saying he is changing...blah blah blah.

Erin was the right one to go. I'm surprised she made it to the final five really. Somehow I think if she had made the cookie the way Bobby said she would have been dinged for it being too sweet... Jernard would be great to watch if he stopped with the whole Love Chef crap. I guess since Giada got her Dom last season Bobby gets his Ana this one. I look at Dom and Ana the same. Weren't good on camera but yet outlasted someone else.

I think stop having the celebrities on the show. Stop with Valerie, Haley, any You Tube "Sensation", any actor at all. I'm very tired of the Food Network "Celebs" Valerie I don't think knows anything about a show. Same with Haley or any other one they have on the Cooking Channel or Food Network. I'm SO sick of the Celeb aspect of things. These shows SUCK. Ugh Patricia Heaton, Valerie Bert - you too (You aren't from One Day At A Time still,) These have a show because who is in charge now and not because they are good at what they do. Anyway One aspect of what is wrong. Stop with stupid challenges. Have a Rachel Ray, Live Talk and stuff like that. But the stupid stuff now is embarrassing. Make normal challenges - hmmm no fleeking will be going on???

I totally agree with you Snarklepuss. Ana took time away stumbling in the intro and threw the whole thing off. Joy took the time to bring things in but somehow Ana (yeah Bobby you) wasn't to blame. I think this is the reason why Anne wasn't at judging. She would have sent Ana home. Robert was at judging last time and you don't use Anne? I will say it all day long. Bobby is hot for Ana and wanted to say her. He defended her with Lorraine over her lack of personality that was so far off and odd it wasn't funny. Sure defend the food but you are going to say that lump of nothing on camera is like other personalities on tv is just stupid. I get a person who can cook but if someone is bad - really bad at time management, can't get along with others how can they stay on? Ana has shown 3 times ( you really can't blame everyone else but her now it's 3...THREE times) she doesn't work well with others. She cannot do live tv. Haven't they said this is such an important part of the job? There isn't a hint of likability for Ana at all. She stumbles on her takes. This is an honest question but wouldn't it take a lot of time with her having to do retakes (I believe she is that bad where it would be a lot) and money? I can't believe her food is that good to warrant her staying over lack of personality, and over all bad job on screen.

Wow...Congrats Bobby you got your girl through again. Good gosh Bobby has is bad for Ana. After Lorraine says Ana has no personality - which is true - he gets a bit defensive of Ana. When do you start looking at Ana if it's been 3 times you have a problem working with people when do you look at that person as the reason. She makes for awful tv, sure her food is good but who wants to watch someone who isn't watchable? Seriously WTF??

When it was Domiano's turn and Bobby said I pleasure that then it cuts to Domiano saying I pleasure that too Bobby. My dirty mind immediately thought they were referring to Giada and not the food. Kind of figured the lunch lady was going.

This episode, and the last, broke my heart. Seeing how Karan lived. It wasn't a room but a squared off piece of a room. I'm sorry I am judging the son. He knew where she slept. Her own son couldn't give her a room to live in? She didn't even have a bed - she slept on item that was sort of a bed but it wasn't even a bed. When Gordon talked to him it didn't seem to bother him a lot. I wish we would have seen Gordon grill him more on why him mother was living in a squared off place. He knew and did nothing. He was an owner and didn't know. But it's easier to blame the woman who clearly didn't have a clue. Her son bought her an Inn to be Grandma's house too? Gordon you wouldn't say something on that too? It should have been part of the deal that Sarah was gone. She seems like a grafter that hangs on to those like Karan. I'm not going to comment on the dementia because from what I saw of Karan, it was nothing like my mom had during her lost battle with Alzheimer's (I saw no forgetting names, placing things in odd places, forgetting how to speak, just stumbling over simple words, even her coordination. Although my mom was clever at the beginning stages. We'd comment on how clever she was at hiding details - she would answer with a question, she would mention a toddler was over, and just push off those signs. You believe it at first too.) But enough of my talk on that disease because everyone's is different :). I hope the Inn does better for Karan and the staff - her son I don't really care about. I really hope it becomes successful and she buys the son out.

Not upset Martita went home but I was hoping Ana was the one going. Did she, at one point, say if you want things done in a timed manner she's not their person? Or something to that effect. If that's the case that should have sent her home. Plus she just seems like a miserable person to work with. There are so many people this episode that are just not worth watching a show. I'm still trying to find the part that of Damiano that make you melts, watch anything he does and says. It must be me because I don't find him all that. He was annoying on the Spring Baking Shows/Holiday Baking Shows with Duff.
