Yes I did notice all of that.
It's cool. He got his second chance, now he can shine on...hopefully.

I found it funny that Ramsey and crew thought his tart was going to be a disaster and would simply not work with the exotic fruit and yet the decision was unanimous.
Guess they were way off this one.

Right! My wife and I said the same thing! The chefs were hesitant to buy into the idea of Josh's tart as they watched him cook. I'm glad the cast members got it right.

Ryan did seem like he was a pretty good chef, but Josh really seems to have the potential to win it all. The remaining chefs fear him. Hard to believe he's just 24 years old, the guy is a beast in the kitchen.

Did you notice when chef Ramsey asked them who should not be up there in the top 5, both Ryan and Josh said David Martinez.

The way chefs are kicked off the show is kinda making it weird. There's no way that Josh, who most of the people left in the competition said that Josh was top 5 material, should've gone home in the first place.

and if you guys remember a few weeks back, Josh should've been picked by his team to be safe from the pressure challenge, because he screwed up the least during that cowboy steak service. He was the one that told Monti the sweet mash taters would be a bad idea, but she did it anyway, and it ended up being the downfall of the team. Also, when that one girl was on steaks and burning them, she called Josh in to take over the grill and save the day, which he did.
I love watching the show but absolutely the show is purposely programmed for drama. I believe that Josh going home and then being given a second chance was in the shows plan all along. However I am glad he is back

I think David should have gone home last night instead of Felix. David is way more inconsistent that Felix is. Last night didn't say much about David's mother's cooking, did it? That was nice of Becky to give David the rice. How the hell could he have forgotten the rice? I wonder if Josh was embarassed that everyone would have given David rice except him. Apparently none of the judges would've either. That's cold.

Considering the performance all season by David, I think the producers want him to stay until the end. He has been up for elimination almost every week and yet he is still on the show. Felix got royally hosed this week. I hope David gets the boot soon.

Go Monti!!!!
Go Christine!!!!

I just think he is really rude to people at times and cannot stand to watch someone being berated or belittled .
That's wrong. There are, to me, obvious personas that the judges are expected to portray on the show. I saw Joe on that wine tasting show that used to follow Lydia's and he is just a darling, not that aloof guy at all. It's an act and I think he does it well.

Lydia goes a bit overboard, I think, with Italian this and Italian that. Too much pride in one's heritage, at least verbalizing it every chance you get, is just boring to me. The few Swedes who I met (at least knowingly) were that way. They just could not help interjecting how wonderful everything Swedish was at every opportunity. It really turned me off.

I think you can tell something about a person's character by looking at how their employees treat them. Lydia had one of her employees on the show and he was exceptionally deferential to her, making me feel as though she may be somewhat of a headstrong prima donna and does not give employees much slack, and maybe not much respect, either.

I like her, too, by the way.

I'm rooting for Josh. Not only because he is a great chef, but because he is easy on the eyes

I really don't care who wins, even if he doesn't, because they're all likeable. David Martinez doesn't deserve the win. Maybe he's better off in administration, his first career.

Yeah. I think Josh is cute, too. I did not expect him to also be so talented.
I also agree with you about David. Inconsistent.
