Tony tells Mia that his issue wasn’t the bread, it was the filling.  It had no texture and the taste was not good.   See, Mia, you should have just kept quiet.

You all know who is going home right?  Even Mia knows because she’s running her mouth and super pissed off, but the fact is IT DID NOT TASTE GOOD Mia.  End of story. 

So long story short, Mia is going home for her bad attitude and burnt bread and Huda is going home for her undone chicken.

And folks, Huda is a class act. She says she can’t disagree with the decision and sweetly takes her leave. 

Mia is almost as humble however is convinced that she would be staying if Gregg didn’t have immunity.  Coulda, shoulda, woulda darlin’. 

I always hate it, HATE IT, when on these competition shows people get snippy with the judges.  I have no tolerance for it, and clearly these professional chefs don’t either.  In a real kitchen, when the Chef tellls you something, you say “yes Chef,” and shut the eff up.  It never works in your favor. 

Mia does say she learned a lot, so good for her. 

So what do you guys think?  Was this a slow episode? 

I’ve been reading your comments and I have to agree with you, the one thing this show isreally lacking is urgency.  Whether it’s because the parameters of the competition are too broad, or the blind tasting goes out the window at elimination it’s hard to say.  But there is a one thing missing. 

And I agree with everyone, Malarkey needs to dial down the showmanship. Nobody is tuning in for him, nobody.  Except to make fun of that hideous bow tie.

    Danke for the recap! And for the quick education on the cuban sandwich. I have eaten and loved them (especially one made in Miami’s cuban section) but I called them cubanos. Doh!!

    While we may get the name of a sandwich wrong, people of all stripes should agree that Malarkey needs a good slapping. From the opening sequence on, that permafrost hamster on crack is at it. There is no live studio audience – why is he jumping up and down like he is on “The Price is Right”? I know that there is a good chef under all the botox and borrowed clothes from “It’s a Brad, Brad World”, but I wish he would not feel the need to fill up the hour with his braying.

    I don’t have any real hate with the contestants. I am a little sick of the bitchy Diane show. Yeah, people go through rough times, but not everyone feels the need to spit poison like a puffadder whenever the opportunity arises.

    Didn’t Ginger Gregg come into this competion will some swagger? Now, if Ludo tapped him on his shoulder, I think he would faint dead away.

    I’m always complaining about these women with long hair not pulling their hair back when they cook! Aren’t there health codes? Even the demo guys with facial hair at Costco have to wear little beard hairnets!

    Right there with you, eyediosmio, on Malarkey’s pants. WTF? I personally don’t really even care for that look on a woman, but on a man?

    Has anyone watched Restaurant Stakeout? The restaurant expert, Willie Degel, is SO over the top!

    I didn’t think there was anyone as vainglorious as Ludo but …. Drusinsky.

    I just learned that Sarah and Gregg are actually dating – gross! Ditzy and Arrogant together unified in one horrible twist of fate.

    Thanks for the excellent recaps. Now, I have to go catch up, since I do prefer zipping through the ads. I must say that Malarkey has an apt surname. I think I’ll make a sammich first.

    Thanks for the comments everyone!

    @LAC: Diane seems to be realizing (in real time, mind you) that she comes off really hateful on the show. If you follow her tweets, she seems somewhat regretful of the way she acted on the show.

    @Erik: Those two are dating?!! Makes so much sense! You know if this was Top Chef, we’d have to suffer thru 20 minutes of behind the scenes flirting – barf! For now, I’ll watch Gregg eagerly trying to help Sarah differently. Honestly, those two are the perfect couple, he’s kind of a jock, and she’s the pretty blond. Damnit, that’s funny
