Linkie serves the judges Chicken with Spiced run and tomato slices.  3 tomato slices to be exact, so technically she could have shared the 10 tomatoes with Nikki.  Linkie tells Bob and Gigantor that she had a few stumbles but finished strong.  The judges note that she has a very natural warmth and sweetness, but she needs to be more polished.

Privately, Bob and Gigantor deliberate next to the giant light-up Vagina and discuss that they loved Nikki’s food, but the camera is picking up on a hard / bad side of her and that she comes off like a used car salesman.  Linkie, has the exact opposite problem.  She is so warm and sweet, but they don’t understand her point.


Showdown at the Va-jay-jay Corral

When the ladies are called back in, Bob tells both ladies that he thinks they are both talented and that this is the worst part of his job…. working with Gigantor.  Ooops, he means- sending people home is the most difficult part of his job.  But they have come to a decision:  Linkie is leaving.

 


Death by Churro 

Linkie takes it well.  She says she has learned so much and that confidence comes from within.   They throw a burlap bag over her head and take her to Vampoor’s lair to be eaten.


Step into my lair…

    Awesome recap! I noticed that usually when someone gets kicked off, the team usually says “no way ” ‘I can’t believe it ” yada yada – with Linky no one said that, they just gave her a quick hug and pushed her out the door.

    Yayy Team Alton!! Martie gets on my nerves, but I needed that arrancini in my mouth and in my belly. But Frenchie’s dish didn’t sound so good…I hate cheese and apple together, and then to put it in a grilled sandwich? Nooo.

    Nikki should have gone home. Her eyebrows make her look perpetually evil. Even when she was crying, she looked evil as fuck. Linkie was annoying, but at least she looked like someone that you could possibly be friends with. And really, that whole team was a fail. Malcolm is boring as fuck and doesn’t realize it, and I’m kind of tired of hearing about New England from GAB. No one cares. And I certainly don’t want to watch an entire show about that shit.

    @MisRed, that burn looked so horrible. I swear, burns are the worst type of injury in life. I’d rather have my hand cut or crushed in a door than have it be badly burned.

    I knew Linkie would be going home and wasn’t upset by it, especially when I realized her thing is supposedly desserts but she doesn’t seem to know how to make many desserts. What was her POV? And it’s interesting that they are keeping the team numbers pretty much even–no one has had 2 losses in a row.
    Off topic but has anyone watched Mystery Diners on Food Network? It has got to be fake. There is no way they go in a restaurant with hidden cameras for 1 shift and find all these crazy things.

    I think Frenchie is a sleeper in this contest – Squishy Bob seems to love her. I’d rank them as contendors as Vampoor, Ippy, Franchie and then gangsta AB. Martie, Malcolm, and Grill Next door have no chance. I thought Martita was in the running, but she had a terrible week and the edit seemed to be cut to show her as pissy about helping her team which can’t bode well for her future.

    Is Mystery Diners different than the hidden camera show? I watched that once and the private eye watching all of the cameras was annoying.

    Vampoor likely used “GBD” because Alton frequently uses the phrase “golden brown and delicious” on Good Eats.

    It really irks me that they criticize the cooks for being too quiet, or not having a “big personality”. Judging from many of their current show hosts, “big personality” = obnoxious. Not all of us want to listen to over-the-top personas…Rachel Ray, Paula Deen, Guy Fieri, yeah, I’m looking at you.

    Hilarious recap! “va-jay-jay corral” still has me laughing. And good call on the lipstick shade…you are absolutely right!!
    I so wanted Ms Independent to go home but having a feeling it won’t be long before the door hits her butt. I’m surprised Malcon is still there too.

    I’m a bit off schedule (a-GAIN – too many shows but oh dear Jeebus don’t take them away – panic attack – breathe, Amy, just breathe).

    But! Thank you, MisRed for another fab recap. I liked that final three scenario you were playing around with, but I’m gonna half to throw Martita in for Ippy. He’s so…….low……key…..

    @MrsTimRiggins: Oh is that how Mystery Diners are playing it? Cheating, just a little, wink wink. I’ve yet to watch the first show but I thought it looked fascinating. Should I give up?

    Okay, I’m sorry if this was already discussed– but does it bother anyone else that Martie’s Party is pretty much the same thing as Aarti’s Party?? Not only a contestant, but a WINNER from a few seasons ago?? Every time Martie proudly discusses her POV (oh how clever! she made it rhyme!) I can’t help but cringe. How has the network not called her on this yet?

    @keebler elf: Justin’s POV is something like “Rebel with a Culinary Cause”. He’s like the freakish but relatable badass of the food world.

    @loves…: I KNOW (spoken in my best Monica voice)! WTF is she thinking? Why hasnt “The Network” said something, like you mentioned. She’s damn skippy not winning. I’ll eat my iPod if she does.
