  1. Sadly, Declan was his own undoing. He was way too ambitious in his menu planning to execute. We've seen enough seasons to know that prepping scampi and fish take forever in any service challenge let alone doing choux on top of that. I would think Shannon should have been more emphatic about telling him to switch something up if he was really playing the role of mentor. If he was smarter in his planning and did something less prep heavy for his starter or main he likely could have an would have outcooked rhiannon. Brent was a shoo-in regardless. Based on story, but he needs to cook something other than octopus or pork belly in the finale and not use a hibachi.
  2. I watch this moment repeatedly and laugh out loud everytime.
  3. Schwarz was on the record saying he could not hook up with Olivia because Shep is his boy. But you know, will and did hook up with Raquel (they made out) who was James' girlfriend for 5 years AND could not be bothered to respect the one boundary of not dating in the group made by his ex-wife when they split up. Schwartz is the bad guy here, but so is Scheana and Raquel because Katie made her feelings known to both of them before the hook up happened at Scheana's wedding.
  4. Scheana is a troll who will do anything for storyline or downloads on her podcast or vlog. I get that it is her job, but she is willing to expend friendships for it and then feigns innocence afterwards. As Katie said, if anyone was dangling anyone to Mike Shay after Scheana's divorce there would have been hell to pay. When Lala didn't respond immediately to Scheana when she was miscarrying and chose to go out for dinner with her partner while Brock was out golfing, Scheana did a whole podcast to blame Lala for being a shitty friend. Now she is literally pushing Raquel and Schwartz together while saying she isn't for storyline and then blaming Katie for being upset. She is a troll. Ariana is right, Tom always does shitty things to people (Katie especially) but because he looks and acts like a dumb puppy, everyone blames someone else. Also Tom's roommate "Jo", is his literal girlfriend right now so this whole Raquel thing is a cover for Tom moving on so he can look sympathetic. It's been reported on the gossip blogs for awhile now.
  5. Like of course Lindsay is in Carl's ear. It's her boyfriend, of course they talk about work and she's going to pipe in her 2 cents. This isn't rocket science. Any partner would do the same I'm assuming. What Kyle can't handle is that someone else has Carl's ear. Plus since Carl is now in a relationship I'm sure he'd rather be more settled at home than on the road travelling and doing events like his job says he should, but that's a convo he needs to have with Kyle instead of whatever game they are playing. So, if I have this straight.... Mya is mad that Lindsay implied she's after Carl when she told her not to text her sober boyfriend to smoke a joint with her, mainly because she (the girlfriend) is choosing to be sober to support her boyfriend's sobriety. Just because it's something you did in the past does not make it ok now. Mya basically said she's offended by the way Lindsay spoke to her and that Lindsay did not officially say she was after her boyfriend.... but that it was inappropriate to smoke a joint with her boyfriend and therefore implied that Mya was after Carl sexually??? I'm Team Lindsay on this one. I'm sure Lindsay was abrasive as fuck, but twisting Lindsay's words to make her look worse is bullshit. Plus even though it's Carl's decision whether to smoke or not, I see Lindsay's point. Kyle talking about Carl's coke habit prior to being sober on camera is shitty and basically makes him unemployable. Danielle was right to call him out on that.
  6. Katie has been hosting a podcast for the last few years and the show never showcased it. She also stated that her and Tom had plans to do a sandwich shop or something together but with Tom Tom and now Schwartz and Sandy's interfered with that plan. Not surprising because Sandoval runs their marriage and Schwartz always chose something with one of his male friends vs. his wife. If Schwartz was seeking her out for advice during that process and then shutting her down and shitting on her because Sandoval was, that's on Schwartz. They literally asked her what she thought of the name, she said it was stupid (it is) and then Sandoval went after her because his ego can't handle anyone contradicting him. Calling her a lazy cow is a bit of a stretch when the show never showcased what she was doing (working for Dear Media) and basically edited her to look like she was doing nothing when in reality she had a job. They did have a pre-nup, and Schwartz was always gambling his money with Rand anyways so it's not like Katie would get any money out of Schwartz because he's broke and spent all his money on the bar and likely had to use the money from the selling of their house on the bar as well. But as Tamra Judge would say. "That's my opinion!" As for Lisa talking to the business owner and him saying they are buffoons (they are) The fact that Schwartz and Sandy's instagram is a dead zone as is their website. The fact that the boys can't get their shit together to showcase their bar on social media. Get their staff to create tiktok's all of those things is just lazy. Yeah their celebrity will get them a little clout with people wanting to visit their bar, but in reality they have zero concept of what they are doing and the one thing they could do very well, they just aren't doing. If Sandoval can create tiktoks for his dumb cover band he could and should be doing it for the bar.
  7. Yeah, so he's California Sober? 1. They need more guys to balance the house. 2. Carl and Lindsay, while happy, do not fit with this group of people. I know this is their income but maybe they should move on because the Lindsay vs. Everyone conflict is old and tired. 3. I see both sides of the Lindsay/Mya conflict. Lindsay sees Mya as a bad influence since Carl is struggling with his sobriety and smoking weed doesn't necessarily help. Maybe she saw something when they were high together that rubbed her the wrong way. I don't know. I get Mya being upset about her friendship changing with Carl because Lindsay basically said back off. Good for her for respecting it but she could and should have had a conversation with Carl earlier about it because it's about her friendship with Carl, not Lindsay (as whoever said). I've lost my fair share of friendships due to changes in friends due to new relationships and how their personalities/opinions change and while their partners have never told me not to be friends, the influence of the new partner was enough for me to choose to step away. It's always sad. 4. I like Gabby so far, I liked Kyle making her take a lap with him at the club. 5. Kyle and Carl is also sad, but Kyle has really only ever known Carl as fuck boy Carl and not relationship Carl. Casting should have brought in some guys/friends for Kyle, but does Kyle have friends outside of this group, besides Carl and other Bravolebrities?
  8. But could not show the same courtesy to a female cast member/coworker about associating with her ex as friends? (and she had more valid reasons because of child custody and all of the information she was learning about Randall's life-allegedly) Schwartz will always support the boys but when a female has an actual valid reason he will trivialize it. WTAF?
  9. Right? She said she was giving clear clues in the hot tub, but I see a girl and a guy flirting, him asking or saying that he wants to kiss her, she hems and hahs and says not just yet on the first date but also says she does want to kiss him. I also see her not cozying up to him and moving around a little bit but also its their first "date" and maybe she just didn't want to go full make out sesh like Paige and Ciara did last season. She did look clearly uncomfortable when Luke wrapped himself around her in the kitchen and nuzzled her neck right before Craig went off on Luke, but based on editing and what we saw as viewers from Luke's point of view, she is a girl that said she is into him so I get why afterwards he was like WTF, followed by I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable and the whole narrative of Luke not being able to read women? (Ciara said she didn't like texts after 10pm and then told him not cool...why is this being held against him?) Luke clearly missed a signal somewhere but Jessica could have said something earlier. I think both are wrong in some respects based on editing. It was weird for Luke to pet Paige. Super weird. My guy friends don't do that. Craig is clearly wrong in his delivery but was also super drunk and a giant ass douche. (about everything)
  10. I think the chefs are allowed to bring a few special ingredients to use when possible in the season. I love that she got local miso in Detroit. I kind of want to find out from where and go get some myself since I'm close to the border. Such a great finale but I knew Buddah had it during the first course when they all called it perfection. Sarah definitely had missteps but the dishes I see on her instagram feed at Marrow make me want to try to get there this summer (if I can!) I would have been happy with any of them winning but Buddah definitely deserved it.
  11. I have issues with the word bitch when it comes to my family, otherwise I'm cool with it. I state the boundary to them and enforce it with them, anyone else it's cool. But I think, based on the flashbacks of Brittinni and Aesha using it, he was being a giant baby. They weren't using it as a form of attack or degradation. If his issue is with the word being degraded, he should be way more self aware to not use it towards others, but again as posted, this is just an example of his toxic masculinity and fragile ego. It's not like the girls kept calling him a bitch to his face after he stated his boundary (although egging Magda on wasn't cool but Jamie's reaction was so out of line and extra). Tumi is a saint for listening to everyone bitch about the word bitch.
  12. It sucks that the service for that dinner was so shitty though, but I blame both of them. Nate for the circumstances he was dumped into with that disgusting galley. Shows you how efficient a chef can be with how quickly he cleaned it up though, but also.... was that the bucket of fish from the boys charter? Because if so, gross. I wish/hope there is a reunion so that Ryan can be read for filth. I wish that with the Magda dismissal they would have been more direct that she's not focused on her job and her phone use is insane. Aesha does need to work on her communication and while I get that it was the primary that left the table, I would have dropped the food anyways to the table because it was hot. Same with the tempura. Ryan was still a crappy chef making basic food with no effort. His exit and commentary while he was exiting was him to his core. What a douche. I love that Capt basically said you have 20 minutes.
  13. Lives go on, and you shouldn't have to stop your life for a co-worker. You can care and have compassion, but they aren't real friends. They are coworkers.
  14. Don't they normally go ham on people who over modify traditional dishes and say don't call it that unless it's going to be that? Or was that just George, Gary and Matt?
  15. I believe they really liked it and used words like sticky and delicious but they wish her ice cream was colder (and hadn't melted so much), especially for using liquid nitrogen. I think her use of the cactus and other main ingredients helped her secure getting into the finale. I also think because Kristen loved her lamb (a protein she hates) and the quality of her first dish gave her the edge over Demar. I thought Buddah was going to win and the judges definitely (based on their description of his food) were leaning more towards a Buddah win for this episode over Evelyn. I will be happy to see any of them win next week.
