We open with the normal post-elimination musings about the competition getting harder, as Yoda notes it was difficult to watch Nikki go down in flames. Honey, it's impossible to go down in flames when you weren't even talented enough to get off the ground. If anything, Nikki hit a speed bump and spun out. Carrying over from last week's episode is exhaustion and Dale-hatred, even though Dale says he doesn't give a shit and just wants to focus on winning. The only one who doesn't seem to be dragging ass is Twitch, who's just had another fix and tells us he's either going to stab someone or make some amazing food. Judging from his track record in this competition, I don't think he should be allowed near the knives today...

The contestants arrive at the kitchen for the Quick Fire, where Scar is waiting with Sam Talbot from season 2. Sam is still by far the hottest guy they've had on this show -- besides Daddy Tom of course -- and finished in the top four during his season. He's also by far the least-qualified guest judge we've had all season, but he's hot so I don't care. Antonia agrees with my assessment, as she starts subconsciously touching her face and making bedroom eyes across the kitchen at him. Someone better get ahold of herself before she winds up with another kid without a baby daddy. The challenge is for the contestants to modernize the salad, and try to ignore Scar and Sam's repeated and outdated "Sexyback" references which is pretty damn difficult to do.

"Yes, Sam, I'd be happy to toss your salad."

Scar shouts go, and they're off. Evangelass is determined to do well at this QF since he usually is in the bottom. Richard is loosely interpreting the word salad, and making a ceviche of different fruits and vegetables. Fleasa scoffs at the 45-minute time limit, and then hilariously bitches to us that there are people left in the competition who don't deserve to be there because of their lack of talent and their shitty personalities. Hello, pot? You're fucking black too, you moron. You're probably the blackest one left.

Meanwhile, Antonia's making what she calls a fatty salad, meaning it's filled with unhealthy ingredients like eggs and bacon. I've never understood those kinds of salads -- if I'm just going to eat a lot of calories anyway, give me some pizza then. Antonia also tells us that she's worried about Fleasa, who recently has been looking like pretty tough competition. Seeing as though she's almost always in the bottom group, I'm going to disagree, Ant. You're just finally noticing her because there aren't that many other people left -- or you can't ignore her stench anymore. As time dwindles down, Yoda's shaking like a leaf and muttering curses under her breath -- and winds up not finishing plating her dish. Seriously, she should just sleep in each day until the start of the Elimination Challenge. What's the point in even showing up to the QFs for her?

Scar and Sam arrive for evaluations, visiting Twitch first. He's made a Thai fruit salad, which looks amazing and Sam says has good flavors. Next, Evangelass' sensual beef salad impresses Sam with its contrasting flavor profiles. Coming to Fleasa and her banana/lobster/squid salad, the judges seem overwhelmed by the banana flavors. Chewing squid and having it taste like banana does not sound appealing to me. Antonia offers the judges a wild mushroom salad with a poached egg on top -- that looks like a big glob of lard and oozes yolk when cut. However, despite its unappetizing appearance, Sam seems to really like it and compliments the flavors. Dale's poached chicken salad is last to be evaluated, and Sam is impressed by how moist the meat is. As for Richard's ceviche and Yoda's incomplete pear/artichoke dish, Sam merely thanked both of them before moving on without any other feedback.

Speaking of sensual beef...
