I would love to see an Elizabeth/Christian finale. I would love for the two egos to go home, and for Elizabeth to win. She seems so genuine and she's been a good cook. Courtney has barely had any real cooking time, and Leslie, although doing a really good job, is such an egomaniac.
I don't know. I have said it before, I think stress could make it worse, as it does with many illnesses.

Leslie will not win. The producers will make sure of that. No one would buy his cookbooks, he's just not someone that general people will like thus may taint the MC name. They want people like Christine, Lucas, etc. to win, i.e., likable and personable people. The same goes for the stripper Courtney (me being the cynic, I say she's going to parlay this into a nice paycheck from Hugh Hefner down the road).

Elizabeth is the most marketable of the bunch left. Carter is no good and too boorish, while Christian comes off as too arrogant and "punk-ish."

I was happy to see Jaimie go. She was clearly not up to it, virtually falling apart at every task. For cripes sake, she was kneeling on the floor. What in the world? And her tower was terrible.

The right one went home last week.

She had the best looking tower of all three, I thought.. So far as dimensions and structure.. Apparently that was because it was held together with super-glue, however.

Courtney's was the best overall.. Having the spun sugar, but it was leaning a tad and if I recall, had a dent on one side.. Kinda like the Christmas tree where you put the bald spot facing the wall.. Not anything really wrong with it, but, you know that spot's there.

Doesn't it always seem to be the way, when a challenge is tailored to someone, they fail miserably at it?

The whole Cutter/Leslie thing.. Both of them are at fault on that. Leslie was attempting to be overbearing.. Cutter was sticking his nose to make decisions that weren't his to make.. Both of them looked like the tools they are in that exchange.

Well I read that and I don't think I will read any more of his commentary. It's one thing for people like us to say things like that about the contestants but I didn't think he should be talking ill of a contestant that way. While Jaimee was a likable contestant and did well, I feel like medically she could not hack it anymore.

I kind of wish I hadn't clicked on that link. I always felt like he was pretentious but geez.

Let me get this straight: Cutter can't cook, has a boorish attitude and causes disharmony and strife whenever he can, yet he's still there. Why didn't Joe & Co. get rid of Cutter the six times they had? Five of them were in a row! Personally, I think Leslie's team should have been in the pressure test this week, because of the disharmony and strife Cutter caused with Leslie. There was no harmony in that kitchen, and Cutter proved, yet again, that he's definitely the weakest cook there. For Joe to rant about Cutter the way he did is pathetic. He's a judge! He can change Cutter's position at any time! They've had plenty of opportunities to get rid of Cutter and passed on all of them. Cutter should have been gone when he argued with the judges about what is considered "too sweet". For Joe to criticize Cutter for being Cutter grates on my nerves. They've been putting up with Cutter and his attitude, so why rant about it now? Joe is my least favorite judge. He always has been. I don't know who he is, and until this show, had never seen him anywhere else on TV. This article doesn't win him any favors with me, and in addition to not liking him, I now think he's as big a jerk as I think Cutter is.

I agree with this whole post.

Am I reading something different than all of you? Or did it change? When I click that link, while there's a brief suggestion that Cutter's food isn't good ("outdated") the comment seems to be far more about Cutter suggesting that a man who stays at home while his wife works is a "house b...." - or in other words, sounds like Joe is calling Cutter out for saying something sexist. I don't get the animosity towards that. Joe's comments seem fairly benign. He says nice things about Jaimee, says the judges still got it right by sending her home, and says he disagrees with Cutter's sexist comment to Leslie. What's so pretentious?

I agree. I read it and wondered where the outrage was coming from.
