I thought that #torch# segments were over the top. Have been to fish boils in Door County and never saw it played out so over dramatic with the kerosene.

I didn't realize that. Michael seemed younger to me. I liked him a lot and I agree that he leaned toward more elevated cooking but he seemed more easily frustrated and flustered which hurt him. If he pursues cooking when he grows up, I won't be a bit surprised to see him become an accomplished chef. I think Bryson is more apt to follow his dad on the barbecue circuit.
I think that Michael mentioned on an earlier show that cooking with his father was a very intense occasion. Thought you could see his father giving off that vibe. Could be why we kinda of fell apart with that desert after earlier criticism of his entree.

I was going to say exactly the same things. I've been pulling for Bryson since the second episode and I'm delighted that he won. Michael seemed like a very nice boy with talent but he needs a couple more years on him. As for Remy............Just go away. And take your mother with you.
And let's not forget her granny too, who showed her everything she knows.

Glad that Bryson won. Thought that Gordon's comment about Bryson showing respect for everyone was spot on. Noticed that his parents applauded the other two finalist when they were presenting their dishes. Didn't see the other two sets of parents doing that.

Don't like Alex's new makeup look. Those glaring red lips just really highlights all of her grimaces.

I liked this episode. I always like when they showcase the issues for the convicts and ex-cons. Bode wanting to be a firefighter and there being barriers to that is a good story to tell.
Likewise, I was feeling most of the epiosde like: how do they know the guy from high school wasn't reformed? Bode changed, so why assume the other guy didn't? And then they went there! So I liked that, too.
A lot of people don't change. But we already know that. I think it's interesting to explore the assumptions people make, evn when they themselves have been hurt by similar prejudices.
I was less enthused about making the guy [possible/probably] Gen's biodad. And I really don't like the triangle with Gabriella.
I have mixed feelings about Eve's story. On the one hand, I like seeing her being recognized for good work and offered a promotion. On the other hand, obviously she can't take it because I don't want her to leave the show [for a second I thought they wer writing her out and were going to put Bode in charge of Three Rock-- at least the show isn't THAT badly written!! phew!!].
But having her turn it down for show convenience is not that satisfying, either, because it's a thing for women to stay in jobs for sentimental reasons, where they are sacrificing for the collective and being martyred in the process. I don't want women to be expected to give up all that she gave up, IRL. Yeah, maybe she's happy where she is. But she would probably also be happy in a bigger city, with more gay bars, more money, and still running a fire service.
Also, it was implied that she was only offered the promotion so Luke could get rid of her-- not cool!
I would have preferred to see her get recognition and a raise in some other way, so they could keep her on the show and not set up her giving up an opportunity.
The show really has improved. I hope they continue in this direction, because I do like the bones of it. And I love the way it showcases the issues surrounding the prison issues, when they go there.
But... was there only one kid in the hospital? He was in a private room? Only his room caught fire? Nobody in the hospital besides him? No sprinklers? Hmmmn....
I forgot to say: Bode with the bare arms instead of the orange jumpsuit coveering him up? Looking good! Now wash your damn hair, man!
Was also going to mention the dirty hair look on the male actors. Not a good look.

At least Alex is smiling in the promos. Her negative attitude in the first season was off-putting. Hopefully they've let her drop the 'tude.
Think that Alex has really been hitting the pasta restaurants big time, maybe that's why she is smiling.

Hope that Remy comes in last. Her "I'm so great attitude" is getting worse.

So Christina's lobster was already cooked, is that what you are saying? You might be right, I'm not a lobster fan but I see what you are saying
All the lobsters they have been using on this show have already been cooked. The shells are red instead of the dark greenish color that are on raw lobsters and you could also tell by the flesh that it was fully cooked. The same thing applies to blue crabs - green shells before they are cooked and red after they are steamed.

Once again, producers tried to pass off an already cooked lobster tail as raw. Come on, give us the viewers some credit as to knowing the difference between the two.

It's always a treat for me to see Gordon cook.
But I do agree, that I loved when Gordon told Remy to pay attention when she tried to "correct" his pronunciation of shallots.
Michael for the Win! He's so good, so focused, and he's a sweet kid.
Big fan of Bryson. He never once called Gordon by his first name, always Chef. Now, that's good manners.

STILL stuck with Remy. Hope the duck a la orange task took her attitude down a notch.
Bye, Asher.
I'm thinking that surviving that challenge probably made her attitude worst.

Co-sign the blind and/or more than one judge concept. It's a lot of pressure and responsibility for one person to decide who stays and who clocks out -- especially if that judge has prior/current relationships with the participants (although Jet navigated this issue very well IMO.)
Bummed to see both Martel and Chris D go, as I like them each quite a bit (and hope to see them frequently in the future on my telly.)
Trying to imagine a kitchen with both Carlos AND Malarkey and I became as exhausted as Chris Oh at the prospect of THAT.Was surprised that Chris D got the cut. Don't agree with that decision.

I'm pretty sure it's Ford City Mall in Chicago.
Thanks. You're right. Just looked it up and it matches the stores shown.

Does anyone know what Mall they used for this episode. Couldn't come up with it.

It's more her hand but it looks like she has some pretty good burns on it. I don't remember them showing that happening.
I'll have to go back and rewatch.

First of all, what happened to Gabi’s arm. It hasn’t been like that the whole season has it?
Secondly, this show really feels rigged and the fix is in for Zach. Richard thought the vanilla on his dish was odd and the only negative thing about Jordan’s dish was the broken sauce. I think Nyesha even had more compliments for Jordan’s than Zach’s. Odd taste beats a broken sauce?
Not sure what you mean about Gaby's arm. Looked normal to me.

Newlyweds Dan and Emily in Chicago - now I understand why they'd been house hunting for five months and had already outlasted one broker. She didn't seem to like anything in any of the houses (everything she wanted to gut/renovate and she wanted to complain to the city about the power lines at the third house) and I wasn't sure that she even liked her husband, TBH.
They were certainly quite the pair, her with all the negatives and him with those buggy eyes and having to be close to Mommy and Daddy. Don't see this marriage lasting.

When Remy was talking to the judges about the chicken dish she was working on, I began to think she's not so bad. Cute kid. Seems nice enough.
Then they cut to her interview where she was all Miss Sassy and full of herself, gesturing, telling the other kids to step aside as she walks by. Ugh.
A parent should stop that.
Totally agree. Not a nice trait to have and it doesn't shed good light on the parents that in all likely hood encourage this type of attitude.

The empty nesters moving into the nudist colony were something else. Didn't know that people were in the nude 24/7, especially ones out playing sports. Guess I've led a shelter life.

As a fellow nerd, that was actually what I liked about him. To me, in this episode, he seemed more performative and I thought he came across as pretty tiresome.
I found most of his appearances to be that way.

I had liked Alfred up until this episode but they gave him so much screen time to presage his being sent home and it did not help me to like him any more. Quite the opposite.
Back when I was his age; he would have been known as a "nerd".
S21.E10: Door County Fish Boil
in Top Chef
This is from the White Gull Inn in Fishcreek, Wisconsin. The cook didn't throw the kerosene on the fire and run like Torch. And yes, the whole thing did boil over.
