He is not budging on the monobrow…he even tweeted about how happy he was to be compared to Sam the Eagle from the Muppets: https://twitter.com/#!/Hugh…

So behind the Chi-Town chefs…but definitely think the Moto Boys will prevail in the end, and the edge is on Chris.

Clearly the Pink Team…that's why they went down in flames. Gotta heat your tortillas, yo!

Yup, he's still kicking…so she might be at risk if she can't get it together.

I think the issue here is that they didn't even bother to really heat up the premade tortillas, so they came across as stodgy.

Not sure why the Last Chance Kitchen isn't a part of the recap, but maybe AV Club is going to spring it on the readers like it will be sprung on the chefs when the winning chef is reintroduced. http://bit.ly/uTaMai

Well, she can get a lot of snake in her mouth at once, just sayin'….http://bit.ly/uTaMai

I have an angel food cake recipe down by memory, but that's about it.  If I were doing the competition, I would probably cram a few easy recipes in that I could repurpose with ethnic ingredients as necessary…and also only try to get stuck with dessert if I have immunity. http://bit.ly/uTaMai

They might have been able to get away with just buying some premade corn masa and making the tortillas from that…it's not quite 100% authentic, but it would have been better than what they had and it would have been less time consuming to make them.

Seriously.  If Chuy has all kinds of goat-slaughtering experience, you'd think he'd be able to whip up some tortillas.  Though, I can see the judges (who can be fickle) giving Chuy crap if his team lost and all he'd done was make corn tortillas.

Agreed…if time were that big a concern, don't elect to make a dish that is going to be so labor intensive that your only option for making enough for everyone is to go precooked.  Haven't these chefs watched the show before? http://bit.ly/uTaMai

I wish Padma would be my totem!

I think Blanca acquitted herself well considering the company she was keeping at her big party.  If I were a fifteen-year-old faced with Chef Tom and Chef Hugh, I'm not sure I would have been as articulate with my criticisms.  She came off well, not like one of those crazy girls from "My Super Sweet 16".

Part of the problem is that cheftestants are forbidden from bringing in recipes, so they have to memorize any pastries they might want to attempt.  Another issue is how to scale recipes depending upon how many will be served.  All that needs to happen is that the chef puts in a touch too much butter or baking powder…

According to his blog, he does get the pressure: http://popwatch.ew.com/2011…

It's not as big a deal as that.  TC traditionally doesn't give anyone slack…remember all those times chefs got nailed for not making their own pasta?

You know the editors had a field day when she said that…and we're getting more apparently based on Chef Chris's lascivious comments about what a beautiful sight it is to watch Padma ride a horse.

It gets worse, she tweeted later that when she came home from work, she snuggled with her daddy to watch the episode: https://twitter.com/#!/chef…

It is worrying how emotionally unhinged she became watching the Purity Ball moment of the evening where Blanca danced with her father…this doesn't bode well for Bev.  You need to be more even-keeled to survive to the final 3.

Keith might live to fight another day…he did win Last Chance Kitchen: http://bit.ly/tesfvY
