I mean, the judges were unanimous in John having the worst dish, and Katsuji's tamale wasn't even brought up at judges table, hence it being forgettable. Katsuji took on too much but John, being the executive chef, let him do it. I agree that Katsuji, as usual, was being manipulative and playing the game. However, at the end of the day, John was the team leader, failed as the team leader, brought his entire team down due to his failure, AND had the worst dish of the night. He should have gone home.

Katsuji shouldn't have been the one to go home. Yes, he pulled the first choice knife, but that didn't explicitly make him the team's leader or executive chef. John said he wanted to expedite, despite Sheldon having a winning experience doing so, and Katsuji said w/e to it. Casey...made the right choice by taking no part in the bro kitchen battle. At the end of the day, the way I see it is this... Casey had one good dish (+1), did everything she can to help in the kitchen during service (+1), and failed at front of the house (-1). Sheldon had a bad dish (-1). Katsuji made one good dish (+1), one bad dish (-1), and one forgettable dish (0). John made a terrible dish (-1), and failed at expediting (-1). John goes home.
