I miss Padma, but Kristen is doing a great job. She is doing her own thing instead of copying Padma's hosting style. Michelle is killing it and should give herself more credit instead of saying she's just a pitmaster. I knew Kenny was not long for this competition but I am surprised that Manny wasn't eliminated this week. He made a soggy croquet and literally put cheese curds on top of it.
Agreed about Manny. But I wonder if the judges take into account the overall factor? Because Manny had some other good dishes in previous weeks. I never know if their decisions are based on that week/dish solely, everything overall, or a combination of both.
Oh, yeah. I think I read on the top chef subreddit someone mentioning that the judges will be looking at overall performances during eliminations this season.
II was sure that Manny was the one leaving since he didn't even attempt to do anything with his cheese curds. Isn't that worse than what Kenny did?
I totally agree about Michelle! It's only week 3 and she has already made several really good dishes. Love her!
I liked that the judges said Kaleena's dish was good, and not just because it was one of the few non-fried/non-croquette dishes. Keep up the good work!
I was a little confused about the slipper kitchen floor situation. I know Charly spilled cream on the floor and it looked like he didn't clean it up. Later Laura slipped in what looked like the same spot and warned everyone that it was slippery. After that, Dan fell in the same spot but blamed Laura. Did anything actually spill out of her pot? Or was he just assuming it was her fault because she pointed out that it was slippery?
I am surprised judges didn't mention Kaleena's pasta was store bought, but I guess she was right and it wasn't possible to make fresh pasta for 100 people.
I went back and played the spill/slip incident several times, lol
Charly spilled an entire carton of cream and didn't clean it very well (there was a towel on the floor but still some white stuff there). Then Laura skidded on the floor and spilled a little bit of her sauce and didn't clean it at all because there wasn't much time, I guess. Good of Rasika to actually go clean it up after Dan fell, even though she didn't make the mess.
I think production should have stepped in and cleaned it quickly because this could have ended a lot worse.
Ha, clearly I wasn't paying enough attention. Thanks for taking one for the team and rewatching the incident so that it didn't end up in the whatisthetruth file.
Yeah I was surprised that production didn't immediately cordon the area off and clean it. A massive health and safety hazard, especially with a contestant with mobility issues.
