Whew, nice surprise. I liked that twist.

Are they about to eliminate someone after the quick fire?

I love Rasika and am so glad she won

I know, right. A clear losing team. Ouch. Okay, my favs so far are Michelle, Rasika, Alisha and Dan.

I am DYING at Gail pounding on her dish.

Gabri might pull this off if he keeps surprising them

So nervous for Ali.

I’m sad Victoire is gone, but am very happy for both Sara and Amar. I liked them both in their seasons and am loving them here. Can’t remember how far Amar got, but Sara got really far (finals maybe) in her season. I remember seeing Sara surprise herself and gain confidence in her abilities and you see how that confidence allows her to think through the challenges. Amar seems to be a student of food. He seems like he really enjoys learning about different cultures. But it is his joy of life that allows him to really just enjoy the experience of being on Top Chef again and he doesn’t seem to stress over how far he gets in the competition. And I think that allows him to just relax and enjoy the experience. He realizes that it is the experience itself that brings the joy and how special and unique it is. How it absolutely changes your life. I’m rooting for both of them. I like all of the chefs, especially Ali so all eliminations will be hard, especially next week’s double elimination.

Aah, I love Victroie

oh oh, it might be my girl

It was obvious who the bottom three would be. I’m nervous for my girl Victroie but I think Gabi might be going home this time.

Loving Amar. He might win this challenge. I knew when they weren’t talking that they loved it.

I liked Begonia and am sorry to see her go.

From what I remember of the Kentucky season, Sarah surprised herself during the season, and it really gave her a lot of confidence. I think that is what you are seeing.

I agree about the pub crawl, even though I understand why they did that. But I would have been miserable eating all of that heavy food. Sad to see May go. I liked her and thought she was going to go much farther.
