based on the way that the show was edited - i knew that ariane wasn't going home, as surprising as that was. i think that had jill defended herself more then she could have stayed since she probably has a lot of skill, but remember that this is for TV and you need to have something to draw viewers in. Ariane reminds me of Betty all those seasons ago - not the best cook on the show, but she was a reason to watch.

Can you avoid posting photos/names of the recently kicked off Top Chef contestants? I haven't watched the episode yet, and I've already found out the ending prematurely -- twice here on Sugar!

Mscc, its friday sorry the world goes on even though you havent watched an episode.

If you havent watched it, stay off of Yum, because those of us who have? like to discuss it.

Onto the show.

I thought her "spring roll" hot dog was just a horrible nasty idea,and a quiche? even without an ostrich egg? is boring for top chef.

The quickfire really was ridiculous. The judges actually expect you to make things. As for the competition though, I really would've rather seen Ariane go home.

Who puts rice custard in a quiche. That's why they said it tasted like glue. How could you not stick-up for your dish. TV cameras or not , you have to be able to tell anyone what your idea was,good or bad.
