Teach, you are not crazy, when they were picking out the candles they talked about it smelling like a flower garden in the restaurant. Then later when the judges were talking about the vanilla candles, I thought - HUH?

Alisons I heard that too! No matter what smell, you never use scented candles at a dinner party. Even I know that and believe me, they are hard to find!!! I get them at Target but I can only get white unscented but what a difference.

I agree about Hung, he is quick to blame others and especially blame the judges when they dont like his meals. Dont want to see Hung win this one.

I really think the only reason they made this a non elimination round is because Tre's team was so bad and they are the most likeable of all the chefs. They had to find a way not to eliminate any of them. Hungs team was all the obnoxious people.

I am thankful that this is finally the only chef competition show going on, and I can begin to remember who is who!

lol TNT, I cant remember half of them. I remember Tre's name because he is my favorite, remember hung and Howie because I dont like either of them. Everyone else, is basically, the two women, the tall guy, the guy with the mohawk and that other guy.

Has anyone heard anything about there being a Top Chef All-Stars for next season? I heard something kinda bizarre this weekend while I was in New York City and I thought it was odd there would be an All-Stars with only three seasons worth of contestants.

Yeah, I know Texannie. But I was in NYC this week and we were checking out the reviews on the internet of Harold's restaurant because we were thinking about eating there. Well when my friend was checking out the website, he saw something about Harold appearing in Top Chef Four - All Stars. So I don't know what the hell my friend was reading.

Okay... I figured out what my friend saw when we were googling Harold's restaurant. The cook-off between Season 1 and Season 2 was titled "Top Chef Four Stars-All Stars." I knew it didn't sound right to have an all-star series for the fourth season, but my friend was insistent about what he saw on the internet.

Tre was eliminated because he was 'head chef' of the losing team.

Tre was/is the best chef there....I was totally shocked at this...shocked and disgusted. The front guy should have gone, he didn't do a damned thing.........but that's ok. I'll just go eat at Tre's restaurant. I live in Dallas!! He also showed what a classy guy he is....You Rock Tre.

That was just WRONG WRONG WRONG!! Brian would have been my first choice followed by Casey and then CJ but Tre?! No way! CJ sure knew what he was doing in putting Tre out there to take all the blame.

Congrats to restaurant Quatre (sp?)! They worked together great with Howie sucking it up and letting Sara lead. They deserved the win tonight hands down. Although Dale's way of dressing was almost insulting to the patrons.

LOVED seeing Stephen!!!

Yeah, you knew when Tom said they were going to get the help of a sommelier, it was going to be Stephen. I love Stephen!!!

Guess I'm in the minority here, but I didn't have a problem with Tre's booting. He produced 2 or 3 bad dishes, including the worst one - the tuna dish and the bread pudding. And with the bread pudding, he said many times that it was easy to make and he knew how to make it, even said he could make it in his sleep (which is when I knew he ws in trouble, because the last time he said he could make something in his sleep was the barbecue challenge and he was in the bottom that time, too). It was his choice to add it as the only dessert because it was so easy to make...then at judges table he claims he didn't know how to make it? The DON'T put it on your menu...he was the executive chef, it was HIS menu.

Brian didn't seem bad as FOH. I wish he'd have cooked, but wouldn't have wanted him eliminated for not cooking on a night when so much of the food was bad. Perhaps if he'd been criticized for not cooking last week...but I don't remember them saying anything to him about that...just remember him being criticized for being sweaty and stressed.

CJ & Casey made bad dishes, but only one each. And neither was in charge. And I don't think its fair to say they should have bailed Tre out, because Tre wasn't behaving as though he needed help. He was the team leader, and as such, he should have asked for more help if he needed it. His laid back style of leadership was a problem - he should have been more like Sara (didn't think I'd ever say that!). They have said many times that elimination is based only on that challenge, not on cumulative performance and based just on this episode, Tre was pretty clearly the worst, in my opinion. I liked him a lot and he's done well previously, but in this challenge, he made a lot of mistakes and, unfortunately for him, was the one in charge. In the end, the guy who made the worst dish of the night was eliminated and I am okay with that.

Oh, and I agree that it was great to see Stephen...especially since he is still SO Stephen. Loved that his wine service this time was pretty much exactly like his wine service in Season 1's restaurant wars. For a moment I wondered if the surprise at judges table was going to be to eliminate Stephen again!

I hated to see Tre go as well. I thought he was probably the best chef there, BUT he did not step up to the challenge LAST NIGHT with his dishes. This is not an overall competition, and, judged by his performance last night, I agree he was the right choice to go home.

I had a feeling since last week's previews that it was going to be Tre. When Tom said 'it's based on this week's performance'. But to he was the weakest link this time.
