Not me. I'm not a big Antonia fan(I'm actually pulling for Richard to win). Stephanie was spared because of her early success in the show. Mark is terrible, but Stephanie's peanut butter, tomatoes and chicken concoction sounds downright disgusting.

By no means do I think Mark is a good cook, but I give him credit for doing something different. I mean the other two messed up chicken dishes, which imho is playing it safe to begin with. One of them should have been tossed to me.

I was bummed to see Mark let go, but love that he called out Colicchio. I don't think that Colicchio didn't like him, but he didn't seem to give him any breaks or try to give him any positive feedback Vs some of the other contestants..

Bye Bye Nikki! Dale acted like a d-bag in front of the judges. I'm surprised he didn't grab his crotch again.

Dale needs to be kicked in the crotch. Like a thousand times.

nikki is no loss, now if we an only get rid of lisa, the one with the green hanky on her head, she is not pleasant to look at.

The Brides Wedding cake came out awesome, and it was nice of Blaise to give the win to Stephanie.

They've toned down the editing of richard a lot of late.

Lisa is so full of shit. She and Antonia ignore all the rules a few episodes back and then she gets all high 'n mighty about "following the rules" and throws poor Andrew under the bus. I hope that asshole's days are numbered.

Lisa obviously wasn't "sabotaged" although I hope she is in the future. I very rarely hate reality TV "personalities" because clever editing and pressure cooker situations could make just about anyone look bad. This is the rare exception.

I hope "Do you like burritos?" becomes the new "I like turtles".

I'll miss Andrew, and yes the sooner Lisa is out the better.

Lisa has been in the bottom quite a bit. Blaise looked upset that he wasn't in the top2, and Dale seems to have calmed down and is doing well.

Lisa bugged me the way she kept going on and on about how long brown rice takes to cook. Hello? It maybe takes 10-15 minutes max more than regular rice.

That does seem to be the way that it's shaping up. I knew that Andrew was a goner by the way Bravo edited the show. He had more face time than any other cheftestant and he definitely framed his failure with his constant boasting of his training in nutrition. I also see that Sam still buys his wardrobe from Hot Topic.

This show is driving me insane.

First Mark two weeks ago and now Andrew.



Lisa needs to get the hell out of Dodge.

I don't have much to add, save to say that Richard's hairdo is making me angry.

You are bad! Jen wasn't that butch. I liked her except for when she mentioned Zoi over and over after Zoi got the boot. I agree about the hair. Horrible.

Glad Im not the only one who hates Lisa... Call me crazy but I think its going to be Dale, Antonia, and Stephanie as the final 3. Im thinking they are going to try and make a push for a female winner this year.

Stephanie has no chance being in the final three, especially with now many times she's made it in the bottom.

Lisa is a very bitter person. I guess that happens when you're in the bottom every single week. From what I have seen thus far, I would rank the final 6 chefs as follows-

6. Lisa
5. Spike
4. Antonia
3. Stephanie
2. Dale
1. Richard.

Definitely looking forward to the upcoming episode. Restaurant Wars has always been a highlight episode.

In the end its gonna be a Dale and Richard showdown and if there is any justice Richard will win. Dale is just a little bitch with a loud mouth. Its funny but my opinion of Andrew changed very quickly in this show. In the first episode i liked him and was rooting for him...but as the show has gone on i have just gotten to dislike him more and more. He was definitely screwed over on this episode by Lisa, but he didn't do himself any favours as well. He was like Dale in many respects that he talked a big game but a lot of the times his food didn't live up to the hype. Added to which he must have the memory of a fish as he seemed to always forget about certain things in each task. I was glad that the two butchers went out as i got sick of them kissing each others arses (probably literally when it was lights out). And then in this episode we also get the return of uber-twat Sam. The guy loves himself so much and he is a complete moron. I really wish he would have choked to death on someones dish....now that would have been a great episode. Oh and whewn the hell is Spike gonna get his arse kicked off this show. If i went on as a contestant and simply cooked a microwave meal i would do better than that fool.

james2025a take a deep breath. It's all gonna be okay. I'll agree that Dale seems like a real douchebag.

Terrible editing on the last episode. They usually try to show you where everyone is mentally throughout the challenges (like Andrew thinking he was a lock then crashing and burning with the judges) But, Dale was basically MIA for the bulk of the episode, especially the middle where his only comments were on what he was cooking, so you knew not only was he was in no trouble whatsoever he was probably going to be in the top- and he was.

At the end of last season, they re-ran all the old seasons to promo the final episode. They might do the same this year.
