She seemed genuinely confused at the end of the show, seeming to stammer “bu..but.. I took a risk, this isnt fair”. Perhaps Jennifer doesn’t fully understand the concept of risk taking; Risks aren’t sure things, and you wont always be rewarded for doing something different, hence why its RISKY. Just cooking with a little known ingredient doesn’t make you a master chef, sometimes there’s a good reason why the ingredient is little used. Don’t make a poo soufflé and expect people to laud you as a genius because no one else does it. Sometimes being different means you’re way ahead of the game, and sometimes it just means it would be better for everyone involved if you took the short bus to school.

Jason, our waiter, is definitely worth seeking out there. Not that service has anything to do with Isabella one way or the other...

And Michael, you have NO RIGHT to say you are the head chef - that would actually be JOSE ANDRES you fucker! And last time I went to Zaytinya the service fucking sucked and the food was unmemorable.

His sexist comment when he was shucking clams about how "no offense but I can't lose to a girl" - like ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Get over yourself dude. I can't STAND YOU!!!

But I have to say I'm a little surprised by how many 'owners' there are this season. What ever happened to the up and comers? Also, the DC gang should make for some interesting drama. They've all got some obvious skill. Zavala had to go. And she really needs to stop defending that fucking dish. I would argue that's pretty good evidence that no producers are telling the judges who should be eliminated. This season has all sorts of wonderful potential.

I love Chili Relleno, but I would be murdered back home in Pueblo if I ever served it like that. It looks like they are setting up Mike and Jen as the "cocky" favs ala Stephan (sp?) and the winner guy (can't remember his name) will be our feel good person along with Baltimore girl...uh, first episode impressions anyway. I reserve the right to disown this comment if wrong. Yeah, I think she deserved to go. I love Chili Relleno, but I would be murdered back home in Pueblo if I ever served it like that.

I don't think the judges were concerned about the plating, they just didn't like it. I was surprised they kicked off the angry contestant, usually makes for better TV.
