Ryan, the self proclaimed "metrosexual", has been sent packing because he was unable to understand the concept of making tailgate food. How is it possible to not know how to cook Tailgate food. Even if you are not a sports fan, you have been to a bar right? OK, OK back to the beginning.
The most recent episode started with Spike announcing that he was "a talented dude". Fine, sure he may be talented but I think he is feeling a little guilty about Zoi getting the boot. Jennifer then comes on screen and announces that Zoi is "the love of her life". OK that's great as well but sorry to say this Jenn, you gotta win for you and not someone else. Finally, Dale sort of apologizes to Lisa (yuck) but lets her know that she is negative and bitchy. Truer words were never spoken but Lisa does not seem to hear him.
On to the QuickFire Challenge. Make a dish that can be paired perfectly with beer. Jennifer actually wins the challenge and receives her immunity on the wave of a shrimp and scallop beignets. Very impressive but adding to that she worked with LandShark Lager, one of my personal favorite beers. As a side note, Dale was in the bottom three for the QuickFire and Lisa said "Good bitch have fun on the bottom". Nice to see she holds no grudge against our overconfident Dale.
Next up, the Elimination Challenge. This challenge was right up my alley; the cheftestants would be going to a Chicago Bears game and would be in charge of the tailgate party. As another twist, the fans would decide the top three and the bottom three and then the judges would make the final decision as to who the winner and who the loser was out of these choices. Everyone had two hours of prep time and then home for a good nights sleep and a bath? Somehow Mark and Spike ended up in a bubble bath together drinking champagne. Not sure I understood this but who am I to judge.
The next day everyone arrived at the tailgate party. Each person was provided a grill. Everyone but Mark chose gas as Mark stated he had the "testicular fortitude" (big balls) to want to use charcoal. The judges arrived in Bear's jerseys ready for game day. All in all it looked like a good day. Dale proved that he knew his football and the he was in fact a big fan of the sport, Nikki ran out of food, Mark could not keep his area clean and Ryan worked the crowd. I think that Ryan had to work the crowd because honestly who wants to go to a football game and eat a poached pear.
The judges table was up next and the fact that Stephanie, Antonia and Dale were the top three was not a surprise. All three of these chefs have begun to prove themselves (minus Dale in the QuickFire) and each seems confident in their dishes. The winner for the tailgating challenge is....Dale with his ribs (um yeah) and warm potato salad. Dale wins a jersey and a new Weber Grill. As he sends out the bottom three, once again no surprise. Nikki ran out of food, Mark was land blasted for his cleanliness and Ryan did not cook tailgate food. Finally (after Ryan stops talking on and on and on and on) Ryan is sent home.
Next week is pastry week. Please oh please let Lisa go home soon. Also, I hope that Jennifer has gotten some of her bitterness out of her system. I like her better when she is cracking jokes and more easy going. I hope that Dale's win does not go to his head. Will anything happen with Mark and Spike? Stay tuned!
