Bummer. Stephen didn’t deserve to lose. I’m amazed tiffany got as far as she did considering she has no dessert or pastry skills to speak of. Boxed cake mix?!? Stephen said it himself…there was no reason to panic over the cake, any chef can whip up a fast flavored white cake with basic ingredients…except of course tiffany, who can’t even make a good cookie.

Personally I was sad to see Stephen go…and watching the reunion on Wed…Not only am I a fan of his food…but now he has become the total package. Seeing Stephen humble…was just, well, wow. There is nothing stopping him now. He obviously possesses the knowledge and skill…and now he has the HUMAN factor as well. I’m in love!!

I was happy to see Stephen go. In this challenge and the Sabor challenge, he demonstrated a complete inability to function as part of a team. He refused to work in the kitchen at the wedding and spent his time with the waitstaff instead. I couldn’t listen to one more pompous word come out of his mouth. I hope that we’ll see a humbled Stephen on Wednesday on the reunion episode.
I know he’s young and he can use the experience of seeing himself and the reactions of the others to him and learn from this. Otherwise, I don’t see how he will be able to succeed in the future.

Leigh Ann got screwed. Did they not say that the quick fire challenge would also be factored in the winning selection?

I love Dave but he failed miserably in the quickfire.

Tiffany get’s away with baking a boxed cake? Who cares if it was Harold’s idea … it was her course and she used a mix.

Let’s face it…the producers/judges like the dynamic of panic stricken Dave, sullen Tiffany and Harold’s sex appeal.

Leigh Ann out can out perform Dave one on one on any food challenge…but that doesn’t matter I guess.

Steve was edited to look like a dick…but maybe he is….

LOL…They actually got to shop at Berkeley Bowl which is an awesome locally owned large grocery store that’s famous for it’s meat and produce departments (very similar to Whole Foods). It’s obvious tho that they would have all done totally different menus had they known the wedding would be in 16 hours. That was simply crazy. I thought for sure Dave was going to have a nervous breakdown.
