It has only been one week since the episode where the pea controversy happened. Maybe he did not have the worst dish this week.

Well, poop - that is NOT the outcome I was hoping for. It totally sucks that Alex is still there, but I dare say the other team would have compensated for him as well. It might actually have put them MORE On their game instead of being too complacent. Totally, totally sucks - but it only takes one bad night, and it sounds like Kenny had a major league miss on both dishes.

I was shocked Kenny left. I had him pegged as a final two.

Understand why they couldn't send Alex home according to the rules, but why not Amanda instead of Kenny? They praised his leadership skills, even though they didn't like the dishes. She did one dish, with overcooked meat and poor greens.

I just knew Amanda would go: I had to do a double take when Kenny's name was called. How did Alex make it to this show ?

add me to the list shocked that Kenny went home!! he had such a confident attitude... Alex was just horrible, and the red team did constantly try to cover or make sure he wasnt the reason they lost - amazing... and it was funny when Kenny tried to grab a life preserver by throwing Alex under the bus, and the judges went "Alex was bad?" lol they didnt seem to shocked by that tho...

I didn't finish watching the show last night because I had a bad feeling about who was going to go. Kenny was pretty much my favorite, but I had been noticing that despite his confidence, he hadn't been doing all that well in a lot of challenges. I was thinking last night that Kenny needed to stop always doing "duos" of food and concentrate on one really good dish. Maybe if he just did one dish he could knock it out of the park. I'm going to absolutely hate, hate, hate to see somebody like Amanda or Alex make it to final 4.

Nerovh, I didn't finish watching it either, for the same reason.

If Amanda and Alex end up in F2, I won't watch the finale.

Great episode. Have to say I too was shocked by the outcome. Despite Kenny's inconsistent performance through the competition, I also had him in the F4. Glad I wasn't sitting at the judges table as I think it would have been a difficult decision. I understand why they sent Kenny packing, but I think I was hoping it would be Amanda. I'm more than a little surprised she is still there, and I believe her demise is coming soon. Based on editing, I thought this was her episode to leave. But I don't necessarily disagree with the decision to cut Kenny loose. He produced two dishes that were below par and he was executive chef on the loosing team, so I think his ouster was justified. This season just got a little more interesting in that one of the clear front runners is now gone and it seems like it could be anybody's game.

I have to say, it feels like kind of a letdown that not even one of the contestants this year seems to have the talent that the last 4 or 5 from last season had. I think any of the last five last year could probably wipe the floor with the best of this year's crop.

I know Nereovh - can you imagine those that came in F4 the last season watching this season *if only I had waited a year to try out!*

Except for Angelo (who apparently CAN cook even if I can't stand his attitude and even if it appears he can only really cook Asian influenced dishes), most of the rest of these "chefs" are pretty awful. Kevin and Kenny have had moments of brilliance, as has Tiffany, but they've been inconsistent. Alex and Amanda have no business being on a Top Chef show. And the ones who are gone already deserved to go already.

I'm disappointed but agree that Kenny seems to have been off his game for awhile now. Too bad as the 'beast' was so likeable. So now I'll root for Ed, Tiffany, Kevin and Kelly in that order. Anyone but Angelo which means of course that he is a shoo-in.

I was shocked too that Kenny and not Amanda was sent home. Can't wait until Alex is out of there!

I was shocked to hear that Kenny went home, before I actually saw the episode. After seeing the food he put out, I'm no longer shocked, but very disappointed. And still can't wait till BOTH Alex and Amanda are out of there.

This whole crop just doesn't do it for me. There are no Voltaggio brothers, no Kevin, no Jen, no Carla, no Fabio, no...pizzazz.

Count me as another who was disappointed that Kenny was sent home over Amanda. But, I have the feeling that the reason Kenny went home over Amanda was that he did two bad dishes and they were probably worse than her one bad dish. The way they talked about that cheese thing at the end was like it was almost uneatable. We have all been impressed with Kenny from the beginning, but when you look back, think how many times he landed in the middle of the pack. He even commented that he just did not understand why he was always in the middle. Maybe we were fooled by his confidence and he was just not as good as we thought or as he thought.

I think you're right, Allietex. I expected great things from Kenny, but mostly because he kept telling us how good he was. He was consistently unsuccessful throughout the challenges, so something about his cooking wasn't happening.

This season's chefs do not appear to have half the talent last season's did. However, I noticed someone on Chef Tom's blog (the "I'll blog when I have a minute" one - not the discussion one)who commented that last season had "all the drama." HUH??? There were a few arguments in the kitchen w/the V brothers, but definitely not drama for drama's sake. I think there's more "drama" this season b/c the chefs are 1) not as secure in their abilities and 2)not as professional acting. This season is NOT living up to last season, but at least they haven't sunk to the depths of the Marcel/Elia season. I'm liking Tiffany and Kelly and hope they end up in the F4.
