The producers are trying to make this feud a thing, whether Shanika or Emily want it be one or not.

Christian is looking like a contender now. Giving Shane Ethopia was difficult for him. I don't get why GR called Bri's dish phallic and then the judges decided to eat it. I think there will be more drama between Derrick and Christian in the future. Tommy has stepped up a bit since he hasn't been on the Bottom 3 two weeks in a row.

Alejandro's decision was not good but him not thinking it was wrong got him eliminated. Gordon Ramsay seemed quite mean during this episode compared to the recent usual Masterchef episodes. Christian and Derrick were a bit over the top but were able to get it together. I don't think Tommy will last much longer.

It was neat to see these familiar faces, Joe seems a bit nicer. It looks like GR will be the meanest judge this season.

In the very beginning I didn't care for Penn but he grew on me a lot. Him and Kim deserved to win. I was not surprised to see Arun and Natalia go home in the first hour. Penn and Kim are a lot better on the memory tasks so them winning wasn't too surprising. Dusty was a bit over the top with his predator/prey stuff but him and Ryan took the defeat pretty well. The elevator performance from them sunk them in. I think Raquel and Cayla might be asked to return if they have another of those returning team seasons.

Glad the crew got a shoutout from the teams. It is nice to see.

Congrats to Kim and Penn.

Love the My Ox is Broken clip.

Loved the Phil on the plane scene.

Glad Raquel and Cayla got their first win, they have been solid recently. With the lack of physical tasks, Ryan and Dusty are not particularly strong anymore. I think if Dusty had kept looking for stones instead of stopping, that they would have finished third. Penn is so over the top but I don't hate him.

Arun and Natalia keep finding a way to survive. Had the twins had figured out how to do the souvlaki task probably they likely would have made it through. I was surprised how many teams struggled with figuring out where the clue was for the souvlaki. Kim and Penn are really looking strong right now, I am liking them more than I did in the beginning. Ryan and Dusty could be gone if physical tasks run out.

Penn's nerd glasses bit was over the top but him and Kim do come across as decent people. Arun and Natalia get so many chances now, it is almost comical. The views were great to see. I thought they would have to eat more of the cheese than they did.

Akbar annoyed me a lot less tonight, I think he is a good guy when things are going well. With a good leg for Arun and Natalia, I had a feeling that Akbar and Sheri would be gone. At least Sheri was not to blame for elimination tonight. I was surprised that Ryan and Dusty finished 3rd after looking so bad to start but having a lot of physical tasks probably helped. I was surprised that there was no Speed Bump.

The view in Switzerland was great this episode, Ryan and Dusty continue to be contenders. Akbar was fine for the first twenty minutes but was back to his usual ways during the Detour. While Sheri was not doing great, he could have been more supportive. I was shocked that Phil commented on what happened. Arun and Natalia continue to struggle with directions, I think that with so much driving now they will be gone next week.

The view where six countries could be seen was amazing. I don't understand why Akbar didn't do the roadblock with the way he was going on about Sheri. I liked Michael and Moe but they were clearly out of their depth. Ryan and Dusty are looking quite strong and look like like the frontrunners, Akbar is showing me that the way he was in the first episode is a recurring thing with him.

The judge at the bagpipes seemed extremely forgiving. I like Ryan/Dusty and Anthony/Spencer. I am curious who will end up not returning and what teams they will bring back, I liked the statement from Phil. The switch from Arun/Natalia did them in for sure.

Liked the way Phil gave the news.

The judge at the bagpipes seemed too generous in my opinion.

The twins going on about a random breakup got on my nerves. Everyone else is fine, I am glad to see the Amazing Race again. I like Ryan and Dusty.

I feel the drug bust was over the top in my opinion. Trenton's victory was not something I was expecting but a man hadn't won in so long so it was a good time for it. Trenton's girlfriend seemed extreme to me.

I liked Steve but he admitted he couldn't be vocal so I understand him going. I think he should have stayed over Brynn though. I am not liking Trenton so much now but I think Kiya shouldn't have done those threats, I hope Megan can win.

Emily struggled a lot tonight so I understand the elimination. Steve seems to not be as strong now, I think Trenton will win the whole thing. I believe that Brynn will be the first black jacket to go. I liked seeing the families, it was fun.

The dinner service was a lot worse than usual, GR was nicer than he would have been in the past a service like that. Sam's inability to answer the question properly saved Antonio. Steve is not looking as good in these dinner services now, I think Trenton is the strongest instead of Steve. The millennial stuff at the beginning was kind of irritating to be honest.

I was surprised to see Steve do so bad, he was lucky that Josie was there. GR seemed nicer than usual, wasn't expecting that honestly. Antonio is not messing up in the dinner services anymore, he has stepped up a lot. I think that Trenton is the best now due to tonight.

Antonio felt he was being funny most likely.
