It's as meaningful as his "Happy as a rooster wearing boots" or whatever other barnyard animal he's commandeered for his own purposes. What I'd like to know is, how does HE know it's happy doing that? This challenge was pretty laughable considering they only had 2 hours to make those cakes. The approach of extracting some details of the character makes sense in that time frame, but then to get dinged for that is the absolute hypocrisy of these shows.

I fast forwarded through all of it until the tasting of the 3 courses. The amount of praise the judges were throwing left and right was nauseating. I was waiting for one of them to orgasm. Really? Over a piece of hangar steak? Anyway, when Gordon said the competition was going on for months, I had to laugh. Felt like years to me.

Crummy as well 😉

Marcela was a pastry chef. Note this, from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcela_Valladolid "Valladolid graduated from the Los Angeles Culinary Institute as a "Certified cook" and then moved to Paris, France, where she graduated as a classically trained pastry chef at the Ritz-Escoffier Cooking School." So yes, I think she's quite qualified to judge this competition, no doubt, moreso than Captain Cornpone (sheesh, here we go again...)

Wow, the team with 3 people left sent someone home over the team with 2 people left. Color me surprised. Yawn.

Number 5 just arrived. A boy they named Oscar.

Or simply notoriety for their restaurants. That's a benefit that's measured in more butts in the seats, which is ultimately a better prize than the 10 grand.

"The rice is scented with just the right amount of jasmine." Um, Aaron? You do know it's jasmine rice, right?

I'm clearly older than a lot of you guys because I remember a bunch of these D-listers from the 70s and 80s. If you watch Orange is the New Black, you'll know Taryn Manning. Frankly, she struck me as the only one who was even remotely natural, the rest were throwing shtick left and right. We should have a contest to predict how long it takes for Tonya Harding to cry. She almost did already, and it was only the first episode.

I'm still watching this, and I hope it's renewed without the inane commentary.

All the better to create drama, my dear!

The one who cracks me up is Che. I get that his parents (probably) named him after Che Guevara but Che was just a nickname that generally means, "Hey you!" lol

I don't understand why Marqessa didn't stand up for herself when Lorraine said she couldn't understand how that was all she produced in 2 hours. She had major difficulties with the tuille cookies and had to make them several times. Granted, excuses shouldn't influence a judge's decision, but at the very least, they should have known about it.

Sorry to say, some really stupid clients this week. The lady with the box turtle may have had him for 22 years but she had no clue what he's supposed to eat, or that he should be offered food daily. Makes me wonder what she does feed him. Arctic fox lady has pets that run around, but goes and has pesticides sprayed all over the grass? Um, duh. To be honest, I have my doubts that the fox could have absorbed that much through her pads. How long could she have been exposed? More likely she found a dead mouse and ate it. And I also couldn't understand why Dr T never asked what kind of pesticides they were. As for why that woman had an Arctic fox in the first place, let alone one she dressed in a tutu...
