Marcel's hair is always one of the first things I state at when he is on the screen. Next I focus is his total lack of people skills. Something is just plain off with him. Of course Hung is no peach either.

I thought the best part of the show was the outtakes of how they amuse themselves in the storage room while waiting to see the judges. Some very funny silly stuff!

You didn't miss much TNT. The dinner itself was a snoozefest; however, the outtakes from the Stew Room were pretty cute. <<---- Also likes Hung.

What was the point of this show, LOL, the only entertaining part was the outtakes. They could have done a whole show of that.

I liked hearing about what people were doing now and thought it was interesting that some seasons worked together and some did not. Also, you could see a differently edited personality of few people, like how Tiffany and Stephan really seemed to hit if off. It made me think that Tiffany really did learn from seeing herself on TV (Much like Steven did earlier) and how a jokester like Stephan can look like an evil person instead of a funny one. No hiding the personality of Marcel though, too bad.

It was an hour of my life I can never get back. It just seemed so staged.

Lexie - you're right, it felt totally staged. The only good part was Richard Blase parodying himself as "nervous question man". He was hilarious. Poor Tumnus, er Marcel. He doesn't understand people at all. Not sure he's going to. I don't know if he's been too beaten down and decides to go on the offensive, or that's strictly his personality, but he still manages to rub everyone the wrong way.

I really appreciated the updates on people. I still think they could have had the cooking part as some kind of contest; obviously Richard Blase would have loved that! and it would have vastly improved the show. I loved seeing Tiffany, who is such a great example of learning from seeing yourself on the show. She said this also in a previous reunion competition show, and she really seems to have loosened up and learned people skills. She looks beautiful now when she smiles, it seems so genuine.

I know there were people who were Marcel fans, but this guy is just not meant to be in the company of humans. ***** Funny you should say that. His hair always makes me think me of the Wolfman in the movies.

I'm not going to say I was a fan of Marcel, I just hated the bully mentality of Betty and some of the others.

Marcel just doesn't get it, and I'm not sure why. Is his ego just so massive that he can't understand that people don't really like him and WHY they don't? Based on what I saw on this episode, he's still very unlikable and not at all willing to take responsibility for any of his actions. For the most part, except for Marcel, this was an enjoyable episode to watch. It was fun watching the chefs cooking for themselves, yet still wanting to have a wonderful meal. And then being brutally honest when something didn't quite hit the mark. They looked like they all mostly enjoyed each others' company and respect each other.

I'm wondering who this surprise early elimination is going to be. The E! story gave us a choice of Kevin, Jennifer, and the brothers. I could accept one of the brothers, but not Jennifer and certainly not Kevin.

I'll be pissed if it is Kevin.

One of the worst "reality TV" moments I ever witnessed was the attack of shaving Marcels hair. I thought that was brutal and even prosecutable. Go Kevin! He's my all time fave top chef contestant.

Yay! I was beginning to think Robin was like Jason from Friday the 13th, and would just keep coming back again and again. I don't think she ever got that her own atitude might have something to do with how people treated her. Now if Jen will just get her act together and they can send home Eli and then Mike V., I'll be happy with whoever wins!

I was thinking maybe they would get rid of Eli before Robin tonight and that would have really set the guys off (except Kevin, who seems congenial towards everyone). I also wish Jenn would get her act back together. It's like something happened to her when she was sick and she's just gone downhill, lost her mojo and confidence. I remember how impressed I was of her when she was in charge of that big meal they had to prepare for the Air Force (I think, it may have been another branch of the service). I still would love a Kevin win.

I was surprised that Robin went before Eli myself, I know they hype up the drama in the end and try to make all the lowest dishes sound equally bad even when that is not true, but really, it sound like that sou[ was repulsive. Can't wait to read Colicchio's blog on this show. He usually makes it perfectly clear why they aufed someone.

I really didn't like Kevin on tonight's episode. His condescension was really annoying both when they went into the room before chef's table ("so boys and girls, how did our dishes turn out today?") and then when gave advice to Eli after he'd faced the criticism. I refuse to take Nigella seriously. She more or less invented "food porn" and, however posh and British she is, I have no use for her. Panna cotta should wiggle like the inside of a courtesan's thigh? What. Ev. Take your similes elsewhere. I still hope Jen hasn't fallen down the TC abyss. She seems to have checked out and that's too bad. She was so promising earlier in the season.

I didn't notice Kevin being cindescending but I;m rather wow'd by him so I probably missed it. Jen looked really bad last night I hope she's not sicker than we think. Her coloring was poor and her eyes looked all glassy. I hope she gets some rest before the next challenge. She's probably a much better cook than she's shown us the last several weeks. It was time for Robin to go. Go Kevin!

When they showed the scene with Kevin giving advice to Eli-it seemed like it was a small snippet to a bigger convo. Jen is almost painful to watch lately. Good gosh Eli's dish seemed awful but his quickfire looked good. Robin was her own worst enemy!

How did Eli not go--with peanut soup and crushed popcorn??? Padma said she would not eat that again and she did not like it at all. Yet he stayed???? Guess Robin's food was much worse than they indicated.

I have no clue why Eli didn't go last night. The contents of his dish sounded absolutely disgusting.
