Stardancer Supreme

That may have been a burn. If he had cut himself, they would have shown that. He was handling very hot cookie cutters (?) while cooking his eggs for the last shift.

I can understand if Nini is not your cup of tea, but it seems a bit mean to clinically diagnose someone you don't even know. This show is a high stress situation that afforded the chefs little to no rest for 24 straight hours. Nini comes off much better on TOC and Last Bite Hotel, IMHO.

Great Day! If you want to do some homework before watching "Ironheart" on Disney+, here are the comic book appearances of Riri Williams! First appearance: Invincible Iron Man Volume 4, issues 7, 9 Next Appearances: Invincible Iron Man Volume 5, Ironheart Volume 1

Looks like the real fans shamed Marvel into promoting "Ironheart" properly...

Before cell phones, teams were allowed to ask locals for directions only. They would write them down on a notebook or their clue. Now that everyone has a cell phone of some type and the racers aren't allowed to use their own, they are kinda forced to ask locals for theirs. What I can't stand is the snatching of phones and clues from the hands of locals. Yes, you are racing for a million dollars, but that doesn't excuse bad manners towards the locals during your race. Clearly there needs to be remedial classes in map reading for future racers! I was wondering how Holden was having so much trouble navigating when a few episodes ago he was bragging about being able to read maps...

I'm also on Team "Anybody but Jonathan & Ana". I get that TAR is stressful as hell, but I don't think Jonathan ever told Ana that he loved her this whole season. Contrast that with Josiah & Alyssa. He never freaked out on her and kept reassuring her that he loved her no matter what. I was aghast when Jonathan told Ana that she was a terrible partner! A terrible partner that managed to get them to 3rd place in the final four. Ana is far better than me because the moment he said that to me, the race would have been over. I'm petty; I would have pulled over and said "Tell Phil I quit the Race AND this marriage!"! I hope Holden had some form of Lactaid on him; no way I would have eaten that much cheese on an empty stomach AND being Lactose Intolerant. Maybe French cheese isn't made from cow's milk? As much as I like Josiah & Alyssa, he did dither around a bit too much on using the Express Pass on the cheese Roadblock. I would have left right after Han & Holden! I was so very amused at the Head to Head; how on earth did Carson think that he would beat Han, who has proven to be very adept on the water? Watching the guys following her get their egos bruised made me cackle a little bit harder.

I was wondering about that as well, considering the partners got to eat the rejected pizzas! I would have been upset if I couldn't eat the pizza I made! Good for Han and Holden, but I feel that they are on borrowed time.

Sure, she's not coming back to compete; she's been on TOC for 6 seasons. Maybe after a year to cool off, she can be a judge. She will have to come back to get her ring and banner unfurled in TOC 7, though.

I don't think that would be such a bad thing. There's plenty of chefs of both genders who would love to duke it out in TOC. If the "top guys" don't return, I will still tune in because it is a show that I really like. This season was Antonia's to lose and I am glad she finally got the championship. 608: Judges: Maneet Chauhan, Brooke Williamson, Mei Lin, and Martha Stewart in the finale. I was able to figure out who the judges were at least 90% of the time; If the producers want to keep us in suspense, how's about not showing them at all until it is time for them to judge the food. Showing them from the back and a poor blurring job does not impress me when I can tell who they are by what they are wearing (and skin tone, since Marcus Samuelsson is the only Black male judge). Antonia Lofaso vs. Britt Rescigno - Antonia Wins! As risky as it was for Antonia to fry a whole fish, it was far riskier to not cook that protein properly. As soon as Mei Lin said her fish was undercooked, Britt was done. Congratulations on getting married and see you next season! Lee Ann Wong vs. Sara Bradley - Sara wins. Fried chicken, no matter how fancy the bird is, always wins out. Mama Wong will be back next season. Antonia Lofaso vs. Sara Bradley: Now we all know that Wagyu beef is not a good meat to make sausage out of. Heh. Sara almost had a chance until she decided not to use the Sausage Stuffer in her cold dish. I had forgotten that the SS had to be used in both dishes. Sara also didn't make sausage as good as Antonia's; so I took a few notes on what to use should I ever decide to make my own sausage. I wonder if Maneet's question about the SS not being used in the cold dish was because of producer shenanigans or being experienced enough in TOC to notice that Randa wasn't utilized properly. Antonia scored high in all categories, and she is the winner of TOC 6! Antonia finally wins the belt, ring, and the money! I wonder if they are going to keep to the rule of TOC winners not competing anymore. I guess they should, because Antonia has earned the right to judge other people's food for a change. I'm ready for next season!

I'll be honest; I've never really liked the food challenges. You never know if a country's food would be to your liking, or even if Americans can consume it without issue (considering the garbage we eat!). Yogurt is perhaps the mildest thing to partake in, considering that maybe none of the racers are lactose intolerant. Plus forcing racers to chug beverages or eat something quickly while racing wouldn't be the best idea while running in a strange country with disparate weather patterns. I would love to eat leisurely in Asian and Latin countries since I love that type of food, but to shove it in my face and keep running? Nawl.

Their method was busted. One of the brothers was just throwing hay around and not looking for the bracelet. If he wasn't just pulverizing the hay piles, he might have found the bracelet. They kicked so much hay around that it was buried and impossible to see.

Just in time for another woman chef to take the championship belt!

If I was crazy enough to ever try out for TAR (which I am certainly NOT), I would never do the Hay tasks. I was hoping for someone to U-Turn Jonathan & Ana. I am tired of this man sulking through the race and blaming Ana for every setback. I am also glad that the teams on this leg didn't turn on their partners when things got rough. Jack & Carson are true friends, because I can't say that I would have been so calm knowing that we were definitively lost for HOURS... Now Melinda & Erika don't have to worry about retaliation from the U-Turn. I'm rooting for Han & Holden now.

This show is definitely a case study in how expectations (mainly Guy's) are subverted when the talent of the women chefs actually outshines the male chefs. You can tell that Guy expected the male chefs to run away with the competition with the male coded prizes (A huge pickup truck, a championship belt, championship rings). If TOC didn't have those prizes, would the women fight as hard? I know Guy isn't a complete misogynist; but he has that male chef arrogance like most of the others. I also wonder why we haven't seen so much of Ryder Fieri. We are pretty tired of Hunter at this point; maybe the baby boy is the more charismatic son?

All the male chefs knocked out of TOC 6! Love it. We will have a new Women chef's banner in the Arena this year! Also one of the final judges will be Maneet, since she showed her 2 championship rings... 607: Judges: Cat Cora (and her shoes!), Ming Tsai, and Michael Symon. Lee Ann Wong vs. Joe Sasto - Mama Wong wins! Thank goodness she took the Mustache out! Kaleena Bliss vs. Britt Rescigno - The Angry Italian wins! Honestly, I was going to be happy for either of these 2 chefs to win. I'm looking forward to seeing Kaleena in TOC 7. Nini Nguyen vs. Sara Bradley - Sara wins. I will also look forward to seeing Nini in TOC 7. Kevin Lee vs. Antonia Lofaso - The Princess Warrior takes the Dragon Slayer out again! I believe that if she doesn't win the belt this year, Kevin might not do TOC 7 if Antonia is still in contention.
