I dunno Mill Street Bistro was pretty amazing considering that the owner was just as deluded as Amy was and then after the show fired ANYONE who was disloyal to him during filming.

It's always hilarious when chef-owners get into a serious argument with Ramsay about how to prepare a certain type of food.

I don't get their love affair with Courtney at all.

Like yeah she wins a challenge, but there's no reason for them to refer to her and ask her stuff throughout the episode. She didn't even cook this episode.

Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
The finale is going to be Fat Albert, anime girl, and Heels the Stripper. I'm not sure which of the 3 will win, but those 3 seem to be getting all the "winner edits". I'd add old Surfer Guy to the mix but I don't think the Walmart shopping crowd would be cool with a rich white old guy winning. I do love his teeth though, how does he get them so white.

Come to me .... and live forever.
Actually kind of shocked that Leslie stood down for the sake of the team. Before his ridiculous performance during the wedding challenge, I didn't think he was so bad, and he sort of reverted back to that here. Defensive, sure, but perhaps misunderstood a bit as the older house husband. That being said, I fully expect him to blow up again down the line.

When they chastise Francis and Christian for putting up a dish that's just ok, and then congratulate Courtney for playing it that way, well, that's why people get annoyed with this show. Not that it was an obviously amazing dish, but still, there's a difference between underwhelming and legitimately bad. It really felt like they got picked to be in the pressure test for drama rather than rank, especially with Elise being clueless as usual.

Also pretty shocked that Francis is going home. Cutter's really did look worse and sounded a lot worse. Doughy filling compared to grease. Then again, Francis has been toward the bottom a lot despite being considered a frontrunner.

But honestly, Dan should have been gone already. He got very lucky. He was so nonchalant during the first part, I think he thinks he's going to coast to the final seven, mentally because he's great, realistically because he's not the worst.

He's in way over his head and so is Elise. As they continue to cut the dead weight, they'll be gone. Then the people who aren't featured players, like Elizabeth, Victoria, and probably even Cutter himself.

By the way, they aren't doing themselves any favors as far as what people think of the show's results when they only have a single judge test each plate for elimination. Notice it was Joe who tested Francis and Cutter's dishes.

Cutter is really annoying and has consistently been bad and obnoxious.

Also Dan should go because he's so loving blasé about everything.

Willie is 10x more interesting to listen to when he talks about the food. He just radiates this passion for food while Courtney seems like she's trying to act how she thinks a professional chef acts.

It's amazing their hands can support such awesome.
My take on this is they need to have a few decent eliminated people for the "cook your way back in the competition" episode in 5-6 weeks. There's no way that Francis B's was worse than Cutters, however, the obvious technical error of pan-frying the spring roll to get the color on there is way bigger of a fuckup (in the judges' eyes, they love taking people to task for technical stuff) than making them somewhat correctly but underfilling them.

She has the "compelling" story which means, per Masterchef rules, she's almost certain to win no matter how skilled she is at cooking. I was wondering if she takes those stupid heels off when the producers aren't looking; does she have a pair of slippers at her station that she switches into when they're not taking shots of her legs?

Also weren't they spelling Ahran's name Iran a few episodes ago?

You fuckers are crazy if you don't think big Willie is winning this all. Making the stripper look awesome is just so you can feel like Willie had a come from behind victory and his story can be that much better.

Titty dancer and him will be final 2. Leslie will be in top 5.

I don't think Big Willie will win for the simple reason that they've barely put any focus on him. Every winner so far had been more or less present since the beginning they didn't just start getting more face time toward the end.

I'm thinking Christian might win. That was his first fall, we're about to enter the redemption arc. Merely due to the fact that she's a stripper I don't think there's any way Courtney can win this, but she might if they try to spin it as 'she went from stri- aerial dancer to master chef! look how she turned things around :D '

I don't think Big Willie will win, but I think he'll make it far. I'd like him to win cause he seems like a good cook and a good guy, but I doubt it.

Willie's not photogenic enough to be put on the cover a cook book (feel free to read some race into that, too, since I'm sure that's going into the producer's considerations), but he's got a story as well which will carry him pretty far in the show.

Leslie is going to stick around because they're going to try to make him the villain of the show, but as far as reality show villains go he's just an annoying doofus and that's all editing. Same thing for IAhran, though I'd actually give her a chance at winning if they start playing up her story unlike Leslie and Willie.

Since I'm posting, is it me or are the mid-range guys just not that good this season? I'm sure it's a side effect of casting more heavily on "personality" than ability and trying to build a story out of them, but most of these people don't seem to be strong even as hobbyist cooks.
