Bastet May 30 Share May 30 (edited) Savannah had me nervous the moment she said she was going to do octopus, but I think her beautiful table and QF win means she's fine, especially with how badly Manny and Michelle have done so far. Michelle has me very nervous, and I can't remember how she and Manny each did in the QF. Edited May 30 by Bastet Link to comment
Straycat80 May 30 Share May 30 Michelle is hoping her QF will save her. Manny knew about the curse of the risotto and did it anyway. 1 Link to comment

Bastet May 30 Share May 30 Just now, Irlandesa said: Michelle was in the top 3 with Savannah and Dan (but she had some undercooked components) and Manny was in the bottom. Then hopefully that saves her, but her "plating" (tabling?) was an epic fail. I found his a hot mess, but hers even worse. And they both had problems with a lot of their food, too. 2 Link to comment
ProudMary June 6 Share June 6 Exceeded your expectations and all of ours too, Manny. 😕 1 1 4 Link to comment
Bastet June 6 Share June 6 Dan being so very, very bad at this is cracking me up. 2 3 Link to comment
ProudMary June 6 Share June 6 This should be interesting. I think they didn't listen to the "You don't have to use all the ingredients, it's just an option" part. Edit yourself, chefs. We'll see... Link to comment
Bastet June 6 Share June 6 Love Savannah winning despite having so few ingredients to choose from. 6 2 Link to comment
ProudMary June 6 Share June 6 So Laura won one QF and Savannah won the other QF, but only Laura gets the extra 30 minutes? WTF! Link to comment

TakomaSnark June 6 Share June 6 Manny, please win it all. I want to see the heads of the haters explode. Link to comment

susannot June 6 Share June 6 Wow, this ep so far has made me like Manny a lot more. What a palate! Also, I was also a lawyer (practiced for 43 years) who went to cooking school after retirement. 8 Link to comment
ProudMary June 6 Share June 6 Laura just rubs me the wrong way and has all season. I really want her to go home. I can't believe that means I want Manny to make the finals. 😄 3 Link to comment
tljgator June 6 Share June 6 Gotta love Tom admitting what we've always said is the best path to winning when Gail asked what he would do for the challenge: "Honestly? I'd cook my best dish and make up a story to fit." 5 3 Link to comment
susannot June 6 Share June 6 Yes. I think Dan or Manny will go next. But will probably be wrong as usual. Link to comment
Bastet June 6 Share June 6 I agree with Kristen -- Savannah did a great job with her story. 4 Link to comment
ProudMary June 6 Share June 6 It sounds like Savannah's making it to the finals. Her dish looked wonderful. I couldn't be happier. Michelle was my favorite, but Savannah's been my #2 for many weeks. 9 Link to comment
buttersister June 6 Share June 6 Heat and pressure made Kristin love a pave more? I’m sorry, I like Savannah and Kristin, but they were enjoying a bit of word salad there. Link to comment
susannot June 6 Share June 6 Savannah's potato pave looked fantastic. I have tried in the past to make that kind of dish. It's difficult! 4 Link to comment
rhofmovalley June 6 Share June 6 I predict Savannah, Laura and Danny for the finale. My favorite is Dan but he just seems done. Maybe he's not feeling well. But hey, top five isn't bad at all. 3 Link to comment
Bastet June 6 Share June 6 Savannah and Laura both going to the finals -- I can sit back and relax. 2 Link to comment
susannot June 6 Share June 6 For sure. Savannah is my favorite. She is peaking at just the right time. 4 1 Link to comment
snarts June 6 Share June 6 The men all seem so butthurt that they're in the bottom. I really don't like Dan. He just seems like a petty dick. 6 2 Link to comment
Bastet June 6 Share June 6 Dan dodged a bullet -- if Manny hadn't made such a fundamental mistake, the combo of his bad dish in the EC and abysmal dish in the QF would have meant he never left Wisconsin. 5 Link to comment
rhofmovalley June 6 Share June 6 I thought they took three to the finale. How long have they been taking four? Or is the next episode not the finale? I'm confused. Link to comment

They've several times taken four to the finale location, and that's what they're doing again -- one will be eliminated, and then three in the finale. 2 Link to comment

I don't like Dan either. The guys were annoyed and they showed it when Laura returned, and then won the On The Table challenge. Edited June 6 by ZettaK 3 Link to comment
Bastet June 13 Share June 13 I love Tom's laugh when Dan said making them break down the lion fish could be one way to eliminate someone. 3 5 Link to comment

Straycat80 June 13 Share June 13 I went to Curaçao on a cruise once, I think I see a cruise ship in the background. And I think they are by the famous swing bridge. Cool place. Link to comment
rhofmovalley June 13 Share June 13 I suffer from horrible motion sickness. I guess none of the chefs do which is great. Danny afraid of the stingrays was funny. 3 Link to comment

buttersister June 13 Share June 13 (edited) Enjoying this so far. Morimoto placement! LOL, he can’t stick around to judge, but he can read the cruise line’s fish program script. His dinner looked soooo good. Edited June 13 by buttersister 5 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama June 13 Share June 13 (edited) I loved seeing Morimoto. None of the cheftestants seem to be excelling. Undercooked fish by all of the cheftestants is horribly disappointing. Tom looks totally disgusted with the level of cooking by the chefs. Kristen and Tom really nail Laura, and so does Ed. Dan gets nailed next, he gave all of the judges raw fish, Gail didn't like the fritter, but Kristen liked the blackened fish. Danny gets nailed on the mousse by Ed and Tom, and Gail too. Ed and Kristen have some praise for Danny. Winner is: Danny, winning a 10-day Holland America cruise and $10,000. Finalists: Dan, Danny, and Savannah. Laura gets PYKAG. The judges (Tom, Ed, Kristen, and Ed) really criticized Laura's undercooked fish on every dish. I'm disappointed with all four chefs' performance. Edited June 13 by CrazyInAlabama 8 Link to comment

After Savannah and Laura both had flaws, I told my cat I need the guys to have problems as well. So far Danny has come through for me; let's hope Dan's double fry is too greasy. 2 Link to comment
Bastet June 13 Share June 13 (edited) Dammit, Savannah! This is NOT the time to flop. And now Laura. Come on; you're my top two! Edited June 13 by Bastet 2 Link to comment
buttersister June 13 Share June 13 I’m nervous for them. Except that Dan just said, final, here I come. He didn’t knock wood. 1 Link to comment
snarts June 13 Share June 13 Do they always have a six week break where the contestants go home in the middle of the season? None of them seem fresh/on their game. 2 Link to comment

Straycat80 June 13 Share June 13 The judges seemed underwhelmed with all the final fish dishes except the last one. Dan’s blackened fish dish. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Savannah. 1 Link to comment
buttersister June 13 Share June 13 (edited) Arms folded, Savannah thinks she’s toast. Hope she’s wrong. eta: Whew’ Edited June 13 by buttersister Link to comment
