She's whatever she has to be to spin a story…which can be advantageous. 

What no one mentioned was the very rational point that THIS GAME IS HARD.  If you can avoid wasting energy on a challenge that you were already leading, that has already injured one person, and that you would look like the biggest idiots ever if you'd gone on to lose, you do it. 

I was a little queasy during the "Mardi Gras" fire negotiations and I hope that returns to bite those two in the ass.  Were I Stephanie, I mention how Alicia couldn't manage to trade tits for fire, but she negotiated for good honest labor. 

She is new Nyonka, and the producers would give her a bushel of immunity idols if they could.

People have pointed out that Sarah resembles the character Chris Griffin from Family Guy.

How much would it cost to hire Bourdain to write 5,000 words on this atrocity of an episode.  I'll get a Kickstarter going.

I don't mind gimmicky Quickfires, but I hate gimmicky Eliminations.  Give them a theme, give them rational limitations, but don't turn it into the bullshit comedy hour.  It's like watching bad wrestling matches: "Okay, you're both cooking out of an Atlasphere, and your proteins are on a pole, and Padma will give you

What.  The.  Fuck.  Whatever happened to "cook good food"?  I'm going to mitigate this by admitting I'm still minorly raging about my girl Bev being out, but seriously?  And considering that it looked like Bev cooked the second best dish in each of the first two rounds, getting eliminated by Chris Griffin is just a

It's nice of them to give me an excuse to spend an hour doing something else between Walking Dead and Talking Dead.

I wish the twin shuffle had been saved for a better episode, that bit had me rolling

Yeah, I remember how much Hung suffered for cooking Asian every week…

Paul's definitely running away with this, but Bev deserves her spot.  She got eliminated on a nitpicky little deal, then reeled off three LCK wins and fired out wok to order for eight.  None of the cool kids like Sarah.

She could have been his brother too…

Those boots are pretty epic

I wanted to shit on Sarah for taking it, but after the Snow White challenge, there's no reason to risk cooking a good dish and going home for a tiny flaw.  Although i still hope Sarah loses hard and weeps her way through a bushel of Timbits.

I have some incest calipers around here somewhere

I wouldn't leave, but if I hit a big pot/series of decent pots, I'd mentally separate out about 80% of my stack and only play with the remaining 20% for the rest of the night.  That way, I knew I was still walking away with a profit, but was going to keep being welcome at the game. 

How many times have they gone to the "Kenneth is underappreciated" well, and for the same payoff?  I wouldn't miss him…unless it meant full-time Kristan Schaal.  Because then I would be sad.  Because she is offputting

The Muppets showed up for a Quickfire, had a few zingers, AND THEN GOT OUT OF THE WAY.  Gimmicks are for Quickfires, not so much for elimination challenges.
