I would've given Casey a squeeze if I were him.

Also just noticed that Hung hugs Kasey for a REALLY long time (shocker) and that Marcel was in the audience to congratulate him.

That was the least Hung could have done considering he almost cutting her face off.

I think it was Marcel on season 2 and Hung season 3. There was an episode during season 2 where the current contestants had to cook for the next seasons contestants. Marcel actually greeted Hung, and in the interview during the episode Marcel had said that he is good friends with Hung and how talented he is.

Absolutely shocked at the elimination. I thought Tiffany was going home for sure.

Padma in that dress last night...

Dale's inconsistency (winner one week, in the bottom the next) finally caught up to him.

I have thought for awhile that Antonia is a dark horse to win. She puts out a good dish every time.

She needs to go home. If Mike or Richard go home next I'm done watching this show. Tiffany sucks, Carla is so ******* annoying...reminds me of a bird. The only two worth watching are Richard and Antonia....Mike is ok also.

OMG I cant believe Dale got eliminated, but it just goes to show that the eliminations are really just about the food. Dale has been cleaning house and then all of a sudden he's going home.

Mike Isabella was on top and he didnt even cook (from how it was portrayed on the show), Tiffany didnt even cook the shrimp and they were bad and she managed to stay. It was also ironic how Tiffany was knocking Marcel but in the end it turned out that if she had listened to his one suggestion she might have kept herself out of the bottom.

Yeah - they tend to stick with the principle that basic execution and technique errors are the least tolerable. Dale's uncooked potatoes were the most egregious offense.

what??? paula dean was praising her for keeping the heads on the shrimp. marcel's one suggestion was to take he heads off and use it in the liquid they knocked her cuz it was too sweet (marcel didn't dilute the honey glaze like she normally would) and the shrimp was overcooked (cooked by marcel). i want mike or tiffany to go home

Mike's plagiarism really was a dick move... and I hated the way he kept trying to justify it... it was a "less is more" situation. If he had really seen it elsewhere / done it before, why mention that Blais is going to think he stole it? Why be afraid to look at Blais during the judging?

It was unclear to me whether Mike stole the entire dish or just the presentation. If his dish was an exact copy of what Blais had in his notebook, yeah, he's a dick.

 

[ChicagoRon]

Mike as much as admitted it. The idea of making fried chicken oysters in seafood oyster gravy is enough of a plagiarism, on top of the presentation.
