In the “Pitch Garden” the judges try to clarify, exactly, what bug juice is and tell Ippy that he left out a pretty significant part of the story.  They turn to address Martita and say that she showed no personal connection to the oranges and that her cracks are showing.  Martita quickly pulls her skirt down.  Not those cracks Martita….

Martita launches into a story about how her father worked in the citrus field and migrated from place to place for jobs picking citrus.  Why didn’t she tell that story?!?!?  Her family is an American Dream Story and it gives Gigantor chills- oh, wait, it must be feeding time for her.  Gigantor wishes Martita made the story more personal.

The judges send Ippy and Martita away so they can talk.  


What the hell are we going to do with these two?

Bob is a fan of Martita’s food.  She has a natural warmth, but they are 9 weeks in, they shouldn’t STILL be pulling their personalities out of them.  They seem little moments of star quality but she is not consistent.  I don’t understand how they can say this.   She IS consistent.  Consistently, impersonal.   As for Ippy, they love his POV: offering Paradise to everyone!  But they still need more energy.  Can he command a stage and an audience?

Martita and Ippy come in… and the judges have made their decision:  Martita is out.


Adios Muchaca

And here is my the prediction I wrote in my notes prior to the start of the show.  Yes.  Yes.  I am THAT good.  Ha ha.


Just call me Oda May Brown 

Martita says, in a zombie, serial killer kind of way: “you haven’t seen the last of me.”  Now THAT should give Gigantor chills.  Martita is at peace with it.  She wants to see what the world has for her and it’s not about the prize but about the journey.

Who will get the axe next week???

    I’m just shocked at Nikki’s staying power. She messed up worse than any of the others, IMO, and had the easiest possible curveball thrown at her. Guess the teams just have to be even in the end so no mentor feels left out… Just like The Voice. Which is a major flaw in both shows.

    Not only “where anything can happen,” but “where any anything can happen,” if you read the card. =P

    And Justin really IS a vampire.

    Ya know… ballerina bun or no, I still would really like to see Ippy win. :-)

    They were kind of lazy with Justin’s challenge. A few people asking questions is handling a crowd. One obnoxious man asking a bunch of questions in a row during a really short presentation is an asshole. Even the worst and most useless hecklers get kicked out of clubs.

    Giada’s show is alright to watch if you’re bored in the middle of the day but she seems like a crazy person on this show.

    My prediction is they get one person from each team so I think it should be Justin, Michelle, and Ippy based on ability and past performance. However, they’ve been loading up on moms and Southern cooking lately which gives Martie a good shot and Yvan is the most adorable.

    I am starting to get worried Martie is going to win this show. Bob adores her. I can honestly say I wouldn’t watch one second of her show. The evening of the teams is kind of annoying as well – I like my reality shows to be slightly less scripted, like Jersey Shore…..wait, not that one – maybe the Kardashians…..But I will say Martita was the right person to go. She had nothing. And I got douche chills every time my adorable Giada over pronounced her name.

    The problem with Martie’s POV is that it’s straight out of the Birmingham Junior League Cookbook. That’s the kind of food she makes, along with a jillion other people. It’s ok, but definitely nothing new under the sun.

    I want to make everything Justin makes, whether or not he’s a vampire. That’s not really a minus, these days, anyway.

    I’m sorry. I don’t think Justin looks like a vampire, I think he looks like Howdy-Doody, which is why his “Rebel with a Culinary Cause’ is a little hard for me to swallow. He definitely doesn’t look like a rebel…a science geek, yes. Rebel, no.

    I hope Ippy wins. I think he has a show idea that would actually be new and unique. His laid back personality doesn’t bother me a bit.

    But, I don’t think he’ll win. It’ll either be Justin or the adorable latin dude (forget his name).

    Still rooting for Justin, Michelle or Ippy. Glad Martita finally got the boot.

    Has anyone noticed how wrinkled Giada looks on this show compared to her show? Talk about a vaseline covered lens….

    And then, her new Natural Instincts commerical for hair dye. Girl got a facelift!

    It was obvious that they wanted to keep the teams even at two. If they really chose who did the worst in this challenge, Martita and Nikki would have been in the bottom.

    I hope that Justin wins. I wouldn’t really mind if the others (besides Nikki) won, but Justin’s show is the only one I would watch.

    Another great recap, with some funnah screenshots!

    I am glad to see Martita go – she had all these opportunities and squandered them. She had all these fun stories but inevitably when it came down to fun stories versus stare down a camera blankly for agonizingly long moments, she went with option two.

    Grilly just skeeves me with those eyebrows and well, just with her presence. I do not think I want to tune into a show with either her or Martie mothermouth. And I really do not get Gangsta’s POV. Is it going to just focus on New England and dishes named after family members? I really think it is the guys’ season.

    Does anyone watch “United Tastes of America” with the runner up of a couple of seasons ago, named Jeffrey? Is it me or is he the smarmiest douche to host a show? I like the idea of the show, but his delivery is so blech!
