So like, I totally had Nina pegged as the winner from the moment she walked into the workroom? But now she's kinda getting on my nerves? Maybe they're just planning on doing a redemption arc with her, but she's REALLY gonna have to step it up if she wants a spot in the top 3.

A triple elimination sure would have been something else.

Man what a great episode! I've liked this season so far, but I'll admit the editing has felt a bit rushed, so it was nice to get a solid episode that feels like a return to form. My stray observations:

I was very disappointed in Charlie this week. When she first walked into the workroom I was sure she'd make top 3 but after her performance this week I say good riddance.

The only thing getting me through the last part of this episode was the suspicion that by focusing so much on how awful Alaska did, they were intending to do a bait and switch at the end. Which is exactly what happened. (It really doesn't help that Alyssa and Alaska both start with the same letters though…)
