Alisons, if you read the blogs you'll see that although there were cameras all over, there were also a lot of people to film. And they did not get the olive oil squirt bottle on film, if they were used. And it's squirt bottles, not spritzers.

The squirt bottles they showed looked like the salad dressing bottles you see in cafeterias. They were NOT just "spritzing" if they were used.

Oh well that makes it simple then - in reality shows they are not allowed to bounce people for cheating unless they get it on film, even if 20 people saw it. Found that out during a Big Brother discussion this summer on TV by CBS.

I can't believe last night's episode went just the way I wanted it! Ilan wins (although I also would have been happy with a Sam or Cliff win...they were a fun team), both Marissa and Josie went home! At the judges table, when they were talking about how the teams were sticking together and not telling them who was responsible for the dish/decisions, I said "Then just send them both home"...and they did. During opening credits I was going over who I like, am indifferent to and who I just wanted to be gone. Josie and Marissa topped the list! And Josie, for all her "I can't believe they are sending someone so talented home for one mistake"...has she impressed the judges in any of the challenges? I don't remember seeing her in the Top 3 for the quickfires or eliminations (except for the Asian food team competition).

I think there are only three possible choices for Final 3 (assuming there are no "screw ups" before then).

Those (final) three are:
CLIFF, SAM, ILAN (CSI for short!)

Next to go should be:
Michael, Elia, Carlos (I like him a lot), Mia & Frank

followed by:
Betty (still like her and she did win a lot so far!) and Marcel

That was a fun show! The double elimination surprised me, but I guess it shouldn't have, with the way it went last week. I agree - those two needed to go! Now I want to see that disagreeable little curly-haired girl (Elia?)with the glasses and the sour disposition be eliminated!

I really like Betty and her partner - too bad their dish wasn't better. I also like most of the "boys". This is a fairly agreeable group this season (well, at least it is now - LOL!)

I don't think it's fair when they're working as teams to award just one person the prize. Why couldn't they both have gone to Florida? I know Mike hasn't impressed them all that much in the past, but since his team won, I still think he deserved to go too.

I loved seeing the actress from Legally Blonde that was hosting. Wonder if she can still do the "bend and snap"?

Agreed, they should have taken both team members to Florida.

Marcel reminds me so much of someone else I've seen on tv, but I can't remember who (and it's bugging me, btw, lol).

I really enjoy the way they help each other out, even though this is a competition.

Marcel reminds me of Tumnus from Chronicles of Narnia.

Scout, with all due respect, I'm not seeing the resemblance. Tumnus is a cutie, Marcel is... not. ((-:

LOL Jezzedout- cool pics! But if you'd shown a full-body shot, then the resemblance would have been unmistakable.

BTW, it's interesting... the blogs on BravoTV. If you comment, they will ONLY post those with positive comments. If you say anything negative, it will not be "approved."

That said, I'm still not like Padma as a host. I hope to heck she's gone next season.

I'm not surprised about the double elim. And what the heck were those two thinking? Serving a refresher course right before dessert? Huh? The refresher course should be served between the fist and meat course. And yes, it should be a cohesive tasting of something to refresh the palate. I dunno what the prickly pear and coconut juice thing was all about, and I suspect the pineapple would've been too sweet as a refresher. Odd choices, those. Anyways, I was tired of Marisa and her sorta holier than though pastry chef attitude.

Was anyone else as amazed as I was with some of the choices for the luncheon at Social? Apparently, they had a TON of produce, fish, meat. Pretty much whatever you'd want.

Must say though... I love paella (a good vegetarian paella... yum!). And I was impressed with the paella, or variation thereof with the leftover risotto!

Costacat... I noticed the same thing with the Bravo blogs. They don't like negative comments, particularly negative comments about their poorly designed and poorly functioning website.

Agree with you about the paella -- it looked YUMMY!!

Also agree about the refresher course... I didn't get it and it didn't look at all appetizing. That said, it led to Marissa's exit, which was long overdue in my opinion, so I was glad for it.

LOL Julie...CSI? That's cute. (but ONLY if Sam is the winner)

*gasp*
*horrified expression*

Scout! How could you make that comparison! I love the actor that plays Mr. Tumnus. I first saw him in Children of Dune the Sci Fi channel sequel to the movie Dune. (I believe Frank Herbert remade the movies) Anyway, THAT MAN is superhot in Children of Dune!! And his character is in love with his sister, which is kind of sexy-weird like Will and Janelle's sibling stories.

I have had orange sherbet served as the refresher - it seems to me that just about the only type of refresher I have ever had was either sherbet or more recently, sorbet. Usually a citrus flavor.

I remember last year that they had a refresher course planned for the Ted Allen meal. It wasn't served though,,,it was to have been beet sorbet, but salt was added, mistakenly for sugar.
