Yeah, he said he was netting $150k/yr profit on the restaurant alone. And when Gordon accused him of not caring because he wasn't helping his mom he flipped out.

There's no way Daniel was Leslie first choice for the rolling pin. Obviously the producers wouldn't let him give it to Ahran or Courtney.

You know, I have been hating on Courtney all season, but she pretty much reproduced the challenge dish exactly as asked and didn't try to dazzle the judges. 5 years in and people still end up losing because "Well I don't want to replicate the dish I want to be unique".

Oh, and Francis deserved to go home. Serving a puree as a pasta sauce? That's a terrible idea.

She also reminds me of a human chihuahua and I can imagine that she pees herself a little bit every time someone looks at her.

Jamie not Tina. And i don't want to read any of Jamie's erotic anythings.

I can't believe she is still on the show.

That's probably sales, not profit. The 'white trash tweeker' brother still has to pay for ingredients'n'stuff. But even so it was completely ripping off mom by paying no rent or utilities and just keeping all the money.

I seriously doubt he was making $150k sales, by the looks of the place he was blowing smoke up Gordon's rear end not realizing he was gonna get reamed for not paying rent.

Like later in the show the other brother, when asked how much money he made, was all "oh I uh, made a couple hundred bucks" and his wife lied and said $500.

I'm pretty sure neither of their businesses are actually making much money.

Ha, I saw that differently. I thought stoner brother was being like "uhhh some" and his wife was actually on the ball enough to know. $500 would only be 34 admissions, which looked legit from the number of dancing weirdos we saw. I can't imagine there's a ton of overhead there either.

Hopefully they are also selling alcohol or "something" besides. The music venue is almost pure profit, the restaurant has a lot of fixed costs.

Also there's no way I would stay there, the place was pretty awesome looking (at least on the outside) and that part of Oregon is indeed gorgeous but sweet lord I would not want to open my window for some fresh air and smell loving marijuana.

What was with the tents though? Who wants to stay in a tent right outside a lodge? Yurts are big out here, the ones I've stayed at in Oregon are pretty nice - wood floors, electricity, and heat. Heck, the nicer ones have TVs, a microwave, and a fridge, and those are the ones at the state parks. That place would make mad cash with a bunch of nice yurts by the river.

EDIT: their website doesn't list the tents anymore so I guess that's out. At least you can buy concert tickets.

Come to me .... and live forever.
Leslie's protein trio didn't look all that standout visually. Seems like they favor those who go for multiple items, and to his credit, getting three high-end proteins right is an accomplishment. Also, I totally buy him giving the pin to Daniel given their past. He's made up with Ahran, but Daniel still despises him.

Once again, I feel like if everyone was playing it safe, they'd chastise them for not taking more risks. "Oh you just used mozzarella? That's not Masterchef." That being said, Willie is starting to take Elise's place as the incompetent underachiever. He has a big personality and all, but he flunked as captain in the diner challenge and his dishes lately have been less Masterchef and more "well I just thought of it." His personality is the only thing that saved him, because his dessert was completely outside the realm of the challenge and Gordon actually spit it out, so I don't know how that's better than Francis' shortcoming. Sounds like they were annoyed at him for continuing to try different things.

I know a lot of you are still down on Cutter, and his time will come I'm sure, but he's simply not the worst at this stage. And Jaime's a sweetheart and all, but she can't get out more than three words a sentence. I don't know how she's going to lead a team, unless someone steps up like Daniel did for Willie.

I never have much to say about Hotel Hell beyond what's already been said. Other than I'm always curious as to how their kids were raised. Growing up in the Butt Hut had to be interesting.

Actually one other thing, I like how the son and the father are all about the hippie lifestyle, yet almost immediately threaten to knock Gordon out after he criticizes them.

On Masterchef: I was kinda bummed they didn't taste the chess board. It looked like the good kind of unique, and some actual technique and care went into it.

On Hotel Hell: you know, I'm sure it was miserable for quiet getaway guests, but if they'd kept the mad hippie parties to slow hotel nights (Sunday-Wednesday), that could have been great. I don't wanna sleep on semen sheets, but partying with aging hippies is fun.

And I would have been thrilled to smoke up in the Butt Hut and talk stupid poo poo for an hour or so.

I wouldn't fault you for that, but the place looks like an old-fashioned lodge, relatively isolated - the closest "city" is Medford and that's a half-hour away. In other words, very rustic and quiet at night. If they want to turn it into a hippie hotel and do music every night, that actually would have been OK if they advertised it as such so they got clientele who wouldn't mind music until 1am because they'd be downstairs anyway.

When I was using Airbnb for places in Europe - some were near the party districts, some were in the quiet residential areas, and they told you because, well, sometimes you want to go to bed early with the windows open, and sometimes you want to be able to grab a zapiekanka at 10pm.

One of the problems with the hotel was that dad and one brother were both stoners and wanted to keep it hippie, but mom and the other brother wanted it to be the rustic place with a nice restaurant; you can't do both and obviously Gordon was never going to help them with the pot/music downstairs scene because he wanted to sleep at night.

Considering they censored the joint smoking my guess is that it's really the "Bud Hut" but they changed it for the show. I also like how they didn't even bother trying to include the dad and sent him off to smoke a bowl while they talked grown up stuff.

As for Masterchef, going purely by what we saw on TV I think Willie's time should have been up.

It seemed like Ramsay eventually started to pity the old guy. I think after he saw the old pictures and heard the story of how the place got built he realized the guy wasn't always this way. An empty husk of a man is hard to get mad at, I think Ramsay kinda felt bad for him. Its the sons that really pissed Gordon off.

He's an old dude who's spent the last god knows how long doing little besides smoking up and his family hasn't done anything about it in this long. It's clear he isn't going to change nor is his ex-wife / kids going to kick him out, so it's time for $500 of overstock.com clearance items and a rug shampooer to solve all their problems.

In Oregon someone with a medical card is allowed to have up to 1.5 lbs of weed at any given time. They also can designate someone to be their caretaker and keep up to 1.5 lbs of more weed for them in a different location. That's not including up to 6 adult plants. 1.5lbs of weed is quite a lot. A half pound takes up most of a large freezer ziploc bag.

It's been mentioned before that Masterchef takes forever to film, so sometimes food ends up cold by the time the judges eat it. However, the judges often do tasting right as things finish so they can make decisions before that.

At least that's how it worked on Masterchef Australia.
