I loved her pixie haircut. In the second hour, I liked both the guys in the final round but I was happy that Panini Pete finally won one. I liked him both times he was on before. The first time that Thai woman was on, she could barely speak English and Jet Tila did some translating for her. This time, her English was fine and they didn't even need subtitles. Curious. :) She was annoying and I was glad to see her go. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6575-guys-grocery-games-general-discussion/page/12/#findComment-4156939
