Yeah No January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 Why is Bret still there? And why do the other chefs humor him? I get it that Heather had a reputation going into this, and a bit of an attitude, but Bret isn't exactly a choir boy either. 31 minutes ago, Colorado David said: lol. that indoor skydiving did look fun. question, as a definite amateur cook, how hard is it to make a hollandaise? Not that hard if you use Julia Child's Easy Blender Hollandaise Recipe, which has never failed me. I've done it the classic way too and the only tricky part is not letting the eggs get too hot and whisking them enough so they don't form curds. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90582-s18e13-an-episode-of-firsts/#findComment-5010823

Mystery January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 This just showed that Heather should have left last week. First, her eggs benedicts were a hot mess. How could Ramsay say "I don't feel that it's you?" That's her all over. I thought that maybe today wasn't the day for Ariel to talk about the mentorship program being over, since Mia was the one who told her that prosciutto was the second protein in the eggs benedict. Christina looked so young in the flashback! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90582-s18e13-an-episode-of-firsts/#findComment-5011213
Crucial January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 I figured it was Heather going home so her faltering again wasn't a surprise. Just irritated that Kanae didn't get a shot but oh well. I loved how Mia stood her ground tonight especially with Brett. I loved how she didn't get mad and just talked at him when he was trying to bring her down. I loved it. He is just a disgusting, gross person. She has been the only one to call him out. Maybe my earlier comments that she wasn't ready to win are wrong. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90582-s18e13-an-episode-of-firsts/#findComment-5011255

xcrayon2215x January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 Motto and Ariel have to be the Final 2 at this point, probably with Ariel winning. If Bret does not go home next episode, that would be absolutely insane.

mlp January 26, 2019 Share January 26, 2019 I didn't like Heather the first time around and she did nothing this season to change my mind. I almost preferred Bret as loathsome as he is so I didn't care which one left first. Hopefully, Bret will go next week. Mia is cute and apparently a pretty good cook but she's small and young with a babyish voice. I can't picture her in charge of a restaurant at this stage of her career so I imagine the final two will be Motto and Ariel. I prefer Motto but I think Ariel will win unless she somehow falls apart in the final episode. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/90582-s18e13-an-episode-of-firsts/#findComment-5011995

bluepiano January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 (edited) Wow, Brett and Heather are some nasty human beings. Glad Heather is gone. Brett hopefully is next. He was a sexist, macho pig in that confrontation with Mia. It was clear to me that his main issue with her is that she's a small female, and therefore he has no respect for her. As she intelligently pointed out, his criticisms were about her facial expressions and mannerisms, not her performance in the kitchen. So if she were some 6 foot 2 dude with a deep voice, apparently he would have no issues. For several weeks now, Ariel has seemed so far and away the only logical choice to be the winner, which makes me worry that she won't win, so that they can have a surprise ending.

I took it as just another example of Brett's extreme exaggeration when it comes to anything about himself. No more likely than all the conquests of women that he brags about. Just like he wants people to think he's the world's greatest lover, he wants people to think he's the baddest dude on the planet.

Good point. I guess some people feel that Mia doesn't have the personality or presence to be an executive chef, but I don't think anyone can doubt her cooking ability or food knowledge, which are as impressive as anyone who's ever been on this show. I even think she might do well on Top Chef, and it's rare I've ever felt that way about any contestant on this show.

Can't agree with this. One of my biggest annoyances is when RealityShow contestants start crying and making excuses about missing loved ones. (Survivor is notorious for this.) They all know what they signed up for, and the goals they are seeking. She was a runner-up on her prior attempt. I guess she didn't miss her son as much back then? It's a weak excuse, at best.
