Perhaps Yigit felt guilty about not keeping the display case filled and for relying on Heather to do his pastry shell. Those seemed to be two big factors in Heather leaving. I really would like to see a Morgan/Yigit finale. as much as I like Eric as a person and have enjoyed seeing him grow, I don't think he has the chops for it.

Well, also her key lime wasn't very good. So she had three strikes. I definitely want to see Morgan in the final. As far as Yigit, yeah, OK, but I'd like to see Morgan beat him. I don't see Zac making it to the finale. As much as I like Eric, I think he's too limited with his background. And Danielle is too flaky for me (no pun intended). I'm sure her homemade root beer was delicious but with the citrus sorbets? Eeesh.

Coach, I like Morgan too. I'd love to see him in the finals. BTW... have I mentioned lately how much Danielle's expressions totally annoy me???

Costa, it wasn't root beer, it was ginger ale. I think that would be delightful with citrus sorbets.

Nope. It was a root beer float. Or at least that's what she said she was gonna make. I remember thinking yum, root beer float. Did she make ginger ale? If so, who makes a ginger ale float?

Later on, Costa, one of the judges did say "ginger ale". Ginger Ale is good with a sherbet as a float.

Nope. She clearly called it "house made ginger ale" when introducing it to the judges. The judges commented on how good her "ginger ale" was. It wasn't root beer. The whole point was she wanted something lighter to counteract all the sweet stuff. A ginger ale/sorbet float accomplishes that. The judges liked it.

I was impressed with Danielle doing the crusts in the quickfire challenge. Boy was she fast. Of course the team lost the challenge, but she did her part. Her expressions annoy me also, but not as much as they did at first. And I keep reminding myself that a person is not always responsible for their face. Heather's expressions annoyed me more because they were so sour.

Danielle's expressions are cartoonish....but I'll take them any day over Heather's scowls.

Aw, the bakery fellow, who made two boring shortcakes. Eric. I liked him, but it did seem like he was out of his element many times. He should be proud of going as far as he did.

It sounded like Eric was pleased with his experience on TCJD. He said that he started the competition as a baker and was leaving as a chef. And commented on the journey. I thought that was pretty awesome, especially because he did come in as the underdog and he made it to top 5! That said, I'd have much preferred to have seen Yigit leave. His food was also not a hit, and he was so broken up with Heather leaving that he just couldn't get his act together? Really?

Thanks Karuuna and Costco. I had a feeling it would be Eric. I'm really hoping Danielle goes next week. I just can't take her anymore.

I suspect that unless someone else really screws up next week, it will be Danielle that goes. By this point, when two chefs are equally bad,or even close, they are sure to look at their body of work, not at just the last challenge. I think that is why Eric went home last night instead of Yigit. With Danielle gone, the final three would be very strong, clearly the strongest of the whole show.

<purrrrrrrrrrr............> And... Go Morgan Go! BTW, Allie, I don't think they do. I think they judge on what they saw at that time, at that challenge.

I think they do also, unless they are almost tied. Then I think they consider the body of work, even if they don't say it and even if they don't realize they are doing it.

Well Tom has said on many occasions on the regular Top Chef that they just judge what was put before them for THAT ONE challenge.
