Ok what was the puppy story?

I like Palak a lot actually. She seems to be a natural on camera and if they aren't giving this to Adam I hope it goes to her. The rest seem like fodder or lesser versions of personality types we've already seen.

We're all people who care enough about Food Network to post on a forum and actually remember a guy who had a show on 5+ years ago. I'm assuming most of the general viewing audience doesn't really know who Adam is? It still irks me because he's had way more practice than the rest of the contestants but like the Trace elimination I imagine they're just doing whatever they need to do to get the right person a show.

I mean Adam was obviously the worst in that particular challenge but like was Trace ever a real contender for being a Food Network Star? Definitely not. Amy seems like the most ready to go (other than Adam) with regards to immediate ability to be a Food Network host or guest of some kind. I'm guessing she'll be the one moving forward. Who do you guys think is getting the returning spot?

It also kills me on all these shows when they can't say the brand names of the cereal and have to awkwardly say things like "honey oat rings".

Man I really hate Jernard. And having Adam on this seems super unfair given he's had a couple shows already. But he's really handsome and pretty great at this so let's just go ahead and give him another show tbh.

I liked Osman but I hope he gets a few decent competitors against him because I don't want a bunch of steamroller games this week. It'd be nice to have a little suspense.

Dhruv has really irked me this whole tournament. He just always seemed so cocky and arrogant. And his searching for DD's also drove me crazy. I remember Lilly being in Tournament of Champions last year but I don't really remember how the rules work for that. Is Dhruv likely to be part of that?

I'm only 33 and the fact that they didn't get this made me feel incredibly old. Was surprised Rebecca lost but that awful heart answer lost her the lead and I didn't feel as bad.

Oh man, Patricia was one of the more irksome people I've seen on Jeopardy in a while. Missing really easy questions ("Mayday"), her quirky faces and that awful 40,000 pictures a year story. Oof. Wasn't sad to see her flame out.

I miss Lilly Chin.

Not really as livid as the rest of you. Good for Kyla. Honestly when Khrys was like "I'm 32" after getting eliminated I was kind of like "oh, eek" because that is pretty old for modeling. I think the show probably could have ended up a couple weeks ago and I wouldn't have done all the returning person crap. It kind of let the wind out of the season tbh. If they do another cycle they should definitely get rid of Law. He adds nothing and he's not even funny which is what that judging slot used to represent. What's Miss Jay up to these days? Someone should give her a call.

I was gonna say that this was the first time Anne actually seemed comfortable with the designers. Her mentor segments always seemed so stilted and forced. I don't know the filming schedule but I wonder if she saw herself in previous episodes and adjusted accordingly or something. Congrats to Anthony even though I think Stanley had the overall better collection. Loved all 3 though.

Meh. I'm not sure last cycle really "counts" considering it wasn't hosted by Tyra and also "India, who?" because let's be real I'd forgotten all about her. That said, I do think Kyla will win but I don't think India was a consideration at all for why Kyla wouldn't win.

She's really trying to make that game happen!
