I think that the inflexible one was right about the time issue - yes, she ended up looking anal because everyone else caved, but it is a competition for real money and the time limit is part of it. If I had been the one in the position of needing more time I never would have asked for it. Besides, it is bad strategy to ask for a favor you have to pay back right at the beginning because at the beginning there are still a bunch of really bad chefs around who you know are going to get eliminated right off the bat. You wouldn't want to be paying back those two minutes at a time when it was only Stephen and the red haired girl left, right?

As for who turned down the oven - they must have that on tape. But really, what an unrealistic expectation was that on her part with a dozen people running around all trying to get their stuff done. The person who turned it down probably didn't even notice. And tell me that you really need two minutes for an oven to go from 325 to 350. What were they doing, shoving twigs in the bottom to get them hotter? Sheesh.

I really want to know why every damn thing in the universe has to be turned into some disgusting sex crap. The whole S & M thing was rediculous, added nothing to the show and pissed me off. I did not watch it. I'll resume watching the new show tonight, hopefully they won't feel the need so sink into the gutter again.

I thought the show at the sex shop was funny. LOL!

oh my, that Tiffani is a piece of work. I so wish she'd not won the quick challenge for immunity so she'd have been kicked off ...

S'up Megs! Brian was booted tonight; soggy carrots did him in.

However, Ladytex is right; had Tiffani not won the quick challeng, she would've been booted. I have to agree with the judges, her attitude sucked. I can't believe how insulting she was about the kids.

Stephen wasn't that better in how he treated Candice. That man's behavior is so pompous it's disgusting. He's a year older than her and he talks down to her like that? Ugh. I LOL'd when she called him a tool AND a douchebag. The guy is a 24 year old sommelier yet he acts like he's the best chef in the world. I don't deny he isn't talented but his attitude is a complete turn off.

And Cynthia left because her dad's condition was worse. I thought it was nice how they dedicated the show to her dad.

Because Cynthia left, they let Andrea come back for a second chance.

Tiffani was WAY out of line. She clearly takes her cooking very seriously and is quite good at what she does. However, she takes it a bit TOO seriously and lost a lot of perspective this time. I hope she learned something and didn't let the judge's comments just fly over her head. Her arrogance almost matched Stephen's.

Ugh, I can't decide who was more condescending and self centered...Tiffani or Stephen!
(they make Jonathon of Blow Out look like a humanitarian! LOL)

Tiff and Stefen are not going to win this game. I'm all about having a healthy ego but both of these people lack basic social skills. If your ego is is gigantic your social skills need to be the same.

Neither Tiff or Stephen live in the reality of their genius.

The sex shop episode was much better than the kids episode.

I was wondering how long it would take before Cynthia went to be with her father.

BTW nothing is worse than over cooked veggies.

How can you NOT salt your food?

Loving this show! Totally agree about Tiffani but I wonder if she would have been so arrogant with the judges if she did not have immunity. I can't stand her or Stephen and hope they both go soon. Tiffani should realize that kids can come into a very fancy restaurant with their fancy parents and someone better know how to make something appealing to those kids if they want the adults back. Thought it was a great challenge becuase it was all about catering to your customer.

Typically I don't like it when anyone (right or wrong) calls someone nasty like a douchebag. However in this case, I loved it. He was so deserving. I can't decide who I want to leave more, Tiff or Steph. I just know I dislike them both.

Stephen first and Tiffani right after, lol! I have yelled at the screen more over Stephen. However he seems like they will keep him on for tv value- blech.

I keep thinking Stephen is Jason from Blowout, the show with Jonathan. All of these reality people are all starting to look alike to me, lol. But I have to admit that I'm liking this show better then I thought I would.

I am also enjoying this show more than I thought I would. Until this week I liked Tiffani because she seemed so professional....but this week she was such a snob about catering to the kids tastes that I changed my mind about her. Stephen and they way he holds his head so he is looking down his nose at you when he talks is extremely annoying, can't wait to see him go. My favorite now is the guy on the loosing team with the scruffy beard that tried to take credit for the team loosing ~ sorry can't think of his name right now.

I'm predicting Stephen, Miquel and Lee Anne in the final three with Tiffani or Harold in fourth place.

Sorry to see Brian go ~ I liked the guy!

I sometimes wish that nice restaurants would not let in anyone under 21. Nothing is worse than paying for ambiance and then having someone's misbehaving child interrupt your meal. Go to Applebees, people!

I wish they would completely ban smoking, cell phones, loud talkers, people who chew with their mouth open, and belchers from nice restaurants. I'll take a well-behaved child over any of those.

Kids are one thing -- I think it's the "Misbehaving" child Alison objects too -- and I object to them in ANY setting. Theaters, concerts, even Applebees. If the child misbehaves longer than a minute, take them out. If they can't behave, LEAVE! I only had to do that once and my child knew I meant business. (Of course, I'm lucky I have a kid who will do about anything for steak! LOL)

Ladytex, I so agree about Tiffani.. she's just so righteous and smug and doesn't seem to "get" who she's cooking for (a variety of people) and WHY she's cooking (for people to eat and enjoy the food, not to impress).

And I thought Brian, soggy carrots or not, worked the hardest to get votes from the kids, so he shouldn't have been the one to leave.

I think anyone who is disruptive, child or adult, should be voted out of a restaurant.

LOL -- wouldn't that be fun, Sea! If we could "vote" people out of our environment, I'd be a much happier teacher! :-)

PS -- I agree about Tiffani. She needs to realize that if she doesn't cook FOR her customers, she won't HAVE any customers!

I'm enjoying this show more than I thought I would as well. Like many of you, can't stand Stephen or Tiffani. I was actually rooting for Tiffani, until she kept making such rude remarks.

Part of these shows is getting along with others and the ones who think they are all that never make it to the end. When will they learn, eh?

I think people like Stephen and Tiffani believe that they are so great they are entitled to anything and everything they want to say or do. I love to see people like that knocked down a few pegs. They are always so shocked by it. That's what I'm looking forward to in this show. LOL

Well, Twinkie, you got your wish a bit last night, eh? Stephen's face turned red when that chef was talking about his food in the first challenge. He also was oh so surprised to be in the bottom three. It would have been a perfect night if the judges had let him go.
