I must admit that I absolutely adore Shark Tank. It’s quickly become one of my very favorite shows on television. I probably still like Amazing Race more and I’m pretty fond of the various dance shows as well. I just love everything about Shark Tank.

The biggest problem I have is time, or I would write a lot more about the various entrepreneurs pitching to the investors. Since I don’t have time, everyone that loves the show like me will enjoy this blog appropriately called “In the Shark Tank.”

That was actually the original name of the show before they changed the name to just Shark Tank.

Sure, there’s a little bit of bravado involved with the investors having the cameras there, but they really do want to invest in these companies with their own money. So, it is really exciting to watch. Plus, there are so many different ideas and people on the show that it’s just a fun cross section of what’s out there in America. No need to go further than this writeup of the 7th episode of Shark Tank. This show is fantastic. I hope that everyone watches it and that ABC renews it for a long time to come.

NOW OWN SEASON 1 ON DVD OR BLU-RAY

Hey all I’m still smarting from Amanda’s elimination last week but you have to figure Suzanne’s not too long for this show anyway. She may last a few more weeks for the drama but once the rest of the weaker chefs (Sabrina and Andy) go home she may be next. Or maybe Chef will wisen up and get rid of the know-it-all if she has another bad week. You figure one of those three are likely to go home tonight unless someone else really screws up.

-With all the focus on Andy in the recap I’m guessing that’s not a good sign for him. Though I think calling Amanda “disappointing” was a bit harsh.

-Suzanne is actually quite humble and sincere when apologizing to her teammates after elimination. Somehow I don’t think that will last.

-And kudos to Ariel for showing some leadership while talking to Suzanne about how she needs to focus more on interacting with her teammates. She is definitive but respectful- the kind of leader I like.

-Mmm crepes- I’ve never actually had them but I’ve had blintzes which I think are similar (and delicious!)

-Suzanne probably was overcompensating for her lack of team spirit by offering her teammates everything (and I mean everything) they could possibly need, but I still thought her teammates were too hard on her. Better this version of Suzanne than the bossy, know-it-all version.

-Wow I guess those crepes really are harder to make than they look. Though in the end they all came out pretty decent looking.

-JP is judging- awesome!!!

-First up is Van and Ariel I wonder if JP remembers his little run-in with Van early on in the season.

-Ariel wins, though I don’t know how salmon is really a breakfast…

-Tennille v. Andy. Tennile’s sounds weird but Andy’s decision to do ham and cheese is clever. Wow he won- maybe there is hope for him yet.

Suzanne v. Kevin. Suzanne spends a lot of time describing her dish. Chef always hates this, but I still think her teammates overreacted again. It’s like every little thing Suzanne does wrong gets scrutinized just because her teammates hate her, which just doesn’t seem fair.

-JP is not really doing much judging – he’s basically just nodding in agreement with Chef Ramsay so far. I wonder if the two disagree on a crepe what will happen.

-Chef announces the winner of this round, further showing who the real judge is. I guess Chef can’t sit on the sidelines for too long. Anyway I’m surprised it was a tie between these two since it seemed like they liked Suzanne’s a bit better. But of course they did it that way so that it will come down to the last round, as usual- Dave v. Sabrina.

-The men should have this in the bag with Dave, which of course means the women will win.

-Kevin thinks they have it in the bag- oh yeah the men are screwed. And Chef’s reaction going into commercial just confirms my fears.

-Ew I can see why Chef reacted like he did- Dave’s crepe looks like someone just threw up on the plate. Between this and the fig fiasco of a few weeks earlier it seems challenges aren’t really Dave’s thing. I still think he’ll make the final three with Kevin and Ariel but if he doesn’t step it up it may be the other two fighting for the prize.

-Wow they won’t even taste Dave’s crepe. Ouch. I wonder what happens if Sabrina’s stinks though- will there be no winner?? Or will the red team win because there’s was at least edible?

-It doesn’t matter because the red team wins. I still can’t believe Chef told Sabrina her dessert was Whistler worthy. Maybe she can surprise us all and make the finals.

-So in the end only Tennille didn’t get a point for her red team. Maybe she is the weakest link after all.

-On the men’s side it was Dave and Van who let them down, but of course the blame will be put on Dave’s shoulders because he was last. Though in this case I think he deserves most of the blame- Van’s idea and filling were decent but the crepe itself was bad. Dave’s was just a disaster.

-Supposedly Andy is going to cut his hand really badly while prepping both kitchens in the punishment. Van better watch his back since he’ll be the only one left on his team not injured…

-Good to see Dave take full responsibility for his poor performance in the challenge.

-The girls are learning pantomime- that’s kind of lame reward. Though I guess it could help them with communication in the kitchen. Their communication now certainly can’t get any worse. And I’m sure the red team is happy to “fake punch” Suzanne for a few hours and get some of their anger issues out.

-Haha I love when the losing teams have to eat tongue and other disgusting sounding body parts for lunch. Though Andy actually likes eating pig’s head- that actually explains a lot.

-Maybe if Dave did throw up on the plate after eating the tongue his plate would have looked like his crepe he made for Chef.

-Did Andy just cut himself on a grater? Cutting yourself with a knife is one thing but cutting yourself on a cheese grater takes some skill. Although technically he got hurt in his own kitchen it looked like so it wasn’t the punishment’s fault (this time).

-He CUT THE TOP OF HIS FINGERS OFF! Holy cow that looks painful- it looked like he had small holes on each of his fingers. At least I think that’s what it looked like- I turned away once they showed all the blood.

-I wonder if Andy will miss service while getting stitches. Though according to the preview everyone does so bad in the service that they are all kicked out of the kitchen, so maybe this injury will actually allow him to stay for one more week. If that happens things will get interesting since I wonder if Chef would cut Sabrina after she did well in the challenge. Then again Amanda won the challenge for her team last week and it didn’t help her that much.

-There is all this talk about the men having no shot even though they are (only) one person down. I guess that means they will win service. Fair enough since none of them deserve to go home yet except Andy, and Chef never sends people home who miss service.

-Wow Andy is back already- I’m amazed. He probably would have been better off staying in the hospital all night since now there is a good shot he will go home.

-Andy doesn’t know what is going on since he missed a lot of the prep. Normally I would sympathize with him but it seems like he never knows what is going on even when he is present the whole time.

-Good for Dave stepping up and doing the risotto for Andy- another sign of a good leader.

-Sabrina may well be in trouble. She insists the risotto she cooks tastes good, but Chef thinks otherwise. Whenever contestants on Top Chef insist their poor dishes are good they are sent home, and that may be the case tonight as well.

-At least Sabrina’s next risotto was good. She is maddeningly inconsistent, and I think Chef’s constant criticism is part of his way of motivating her. You can tell who he really thinks is garbage and who he thinks has potential, and I think Sabrina falls into the latter category.

-Kevin criticizes Andy for not being able to make a simple crepe, but if I remember correctly all of them (including Kevin) struggled to make crepes in the challenge. A bit hypocritical, don’t you think?

-The red team tonight is communicating, which is a good start. Plus it allows Chef to see that it really is Suzanne screwing over the team. She says she’ll be ready with a dish in three minutes and then two minutes later says she needs six more minutes. It seems she’s not a good judge of how long it takes the dish to cook. I’ll give her credit for being honest with her team and saying she needs more time but she still must learn how to better judge the timing of her dishes.

-Too bad Chef wasn’t in the kitchen to see Suzanne’s breakdown. She does admit to Chef that she is the one who needs five minutes (that’s how I interpreted her comment of “I need five minutes” to Chef, though others may conclude she was being selfish again and only referring to herself, not the team). But of course right when I give her credit she goes and blames the oven for her troubles. One step forward, two steps back.

-Wow Dave looks like he is literally in four places at once. AND he has only one arm. AND his dishes impress Chef. Maybe he will make the finals after all.

-Suzanne finally does get called out, this time for cutting the lamb too soon. It seems like this is a common mistake on this show- don’t these people watch prior seasons? Anyway I think her earlier mistake was worse than this but at least she’s getting what she deserved last week and earlier tonight.

-Dave can do four different dishes with one arm, but all Andy can do with one hand is make salad? And he can’t even do that right! Unfortunately I think the blue team is going to win tonight so he’ll be safe another week, even though he’s by far the weakest chef left in either kitchen.

-I just realized that if the men win the next two services Andy will be into singles. He’s like this year’s version of Matt from season 4, cut finger and all.

-Ha Chef just said the same thing I said- that if Dave can cook with one arm why can’t Andy cook with one hand??

-Suzanne then forgets how the lamb should be cooked. Forget what I said earlier about Sabrina- it HAS to be Suzanne or Andy going home tonight, right?

-Well maybe not, especially after Sabrina challenges Chef, claiming he wants her to put too many spices on the frog legs (which I don’t think I would eat even if they were covered in spice). I think Suzanne has been worse tonight than Sabrina has been but Sabrina is almost talking back to Chef, and he hates that.

-If so many people are supposed to get kicked out of the kitchen tonight, I’m surprised Andy, Sabrina, and Suzanne haven’t all been shown the door yet.

-Well Andy is the first one thrown out, which isn’t surprising considering he’s been the worst so far tonight. And he even calls out Chef in the process, saying he is too mean in the kitchen. One small problem with this logic: Chef wouldn’t have to be so mean if Andy was more competent.

-And Sabrina and Suzanne are not that far behind. I think those three are the next to go in some order, and I won’t miss any of them.

-It is a good sign for Tennille and Ariel that Chef trusts them enough to finish service despite losing half their team. The remaining blue team members are equally as impressive. As I said before this will likely be the final five.

-Hmm there is no winning team tonight, which means Andy still has a shot of going home. But I don’t get why Chef has them only pick two people to put up for elimination when it’s clear whichever one of the three banishees they don’t pick will be put up there anyway. I guess he just wants to heighten the drama and put the contestants against each other in the deliberations.

-I would put Andy and Suzanne up since I think Sabrina’s mistakes were the least egregious. But I don’t think it matters since all three will be put up anyway. Between Suzanne and Andy it’s a tossup over who was worse, though I think Suzanne actually can cook and just has timing issues, while Andy can’t cook that well. So Suzanne seems to have a bit more potential (plus she might be kept around just for the drama like she was last week).

-The two teams agree with me, which is good, though Sabrina is celebrating a bit too much for someone who will likely be on the chopping block too. I wonder if that’s a precursor to her going home tonight.

-Now the blue team has turned on Suzanne also, and wants to put Sabrina up instead to guarantee Suzanne will go home. I agree that if Andy goes up he is likely gone but I wonder if Chef would get rid of Sabrina over Suzanne since Sabrina talked back to Chef so much. Though if I were on the blue team I would get rid of Andy, who is clearly slowing down their team, and keep Suzanne around since she is tearing the red team apart.

-Though I guess the blue team came to their senses and put Andy up. And surprisingly Sabrina is not asked to join them. Between these two it’s six of one, half a dozen of the other. Andy is less competent but Suzanne is more annoying so I don’t care either way but based on tonight it should be Andy. At least Suzanne somewhat knows how to cook.

-At least Chef finally knows now that the red team wants Suzanne gone. I thought for sure she’d be a goner when I heard that but then Andy pulls the injury excuse again. Not a smart idea with two other injured players standing behind him. It could really go either way.

-And sure enough Andy is sent home, as he should have. Chef seems to like Andy’s attitude (it’s better than Suzanne’s for sure) and tells him to stop panicking. I think that was a problem for him- he would feel rushed and make stupid mistakes. But a head chef cannot act that way in the face of pressure.

-But that’s not all. First Chef calls forward Sabrina and I think she’s a goner. Then he tells Suzanne to take off her jacket, only to tell her to switch teams. Dang I get fooled by that trick every year. At least the red team will be happy now with her gone, though the blue team doesn’t seem to like her much either. This is probably her last chance- if she can’t get along with the blue team she’s a goner.

-So what was the point of Chef calling Sabrina up for elimination just to tell her to get better??

-Next week the blue team is “thrilled” to see Suzanne join them, the teams make their own menus, and Dave gets ANOTHER injury. Man that guy needs a bodyguard 24/7.

Thoughts on tonight’s show? Did Andy deserve to go home? Did Suzanne deserve another shot? Post your comments below.

Check out the full episode 9 video here courtesy of hulu.com:

Hello again, darlins. The runway ripping Rabbit here. Or as Tim said on this week’s episode, “The Prophet of Doom…” I know I never came back last week with Part Two of the show, but I just couldn’t figure out how to convey an hour’s worth of dry heaving and eye rolling to fill up yet another blog.

This week is NO better. I am not sure what happened to PR this season. Is it all the smog in L.A. ? Did all the Christians and Kinleys and Austins know something we don’t and are instead sitting in their mother’s basement sewing furiously because they would rather combat the mildew problem and hungry street rats than be associated with what this show has become? I know I would. It’s just down right embarrassing this year. Please step away from the sewing machine you obviously have no what-the-effedness using and go sit down in a corner somewhere. Preferably with a bag (sewn by someone else) on your head and shut the heck up.

For this week’s challenge, the dragged the band of pasty crackheads to the beach for a surf inspired assignment. They are to create something inspired by the polluted oceans and garbage riddled beaches. The producers had apparently gone crawling around under the boardwalk and found some riff and raff for the “designers” to converse with for ideas, and we were treated to Tim’s feet. Freak the fart out. Is that really necessary? Slap a moon boot on those ghosts of Vienna sausages past. I could have lived the rest of my young, queer life without seeing that!

Anyway, it is also revealed, for dramatic effect, that this will be a partner’s challenge. Whoopiddy Doo flopping Dah. Q’ball and Epperson end up together; Ramon and The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home; The Goat Herder and Grease Slick; I forget the rest. It’s really not that important… You get the idea. Off to Mood to buy the ugliest fabrics in the store… Which, by the way, what the heck is up with that??? I have been to Mood. It’s a designers wet dream. Yet week and again, these jackholes manage to find THE UGLIEST mess available. It’s like they are shopping from the bargain bin at JoAnne’s fabric in Butt Punch, Texas… I don’t get it. Though I can say that Q’ball must have taken her meds because she manage to make it through the Mood experience this week without falling out in the floor and foaming at the mouth again. Way to go, Thorazine!

Back at the workroom/asylum, the nipple twist for this episode is these freaks ALSO have to design a corresponding “Avant Garde” design, and the hilarity ensues. The Goat Herder and Grease Slick have taken the short bus gone to 1970s Camp for the Mentally Impaired in the mountains of Kentucky and have shredded a t-shirt and made a macrame bikini and home ec wrap pants (which you can make for yourself in about five minutes, following this tutorial).

For their AG look, they are microwaving organza and making butt-less/crotch-less lace hooker chaps to go over a 1982 prom dress. Someone REALLY needs to get this girl a goat. A large one. We need a huge ol’ sweater to cover this mess up. Grease declares in the midst of all this, with great disdain, “No animal prints… Ever.” Ummm… Honey, and unwashed elephant’s butt would be an improvement. Seriously. Another gem of verbal diaherra from our favourite slimy haired has-not-been, “I’m afraid my garment’s going to look like a blue tranny.” Again, if that were the case, it would be a vast improvement on what’s currently going on…

Across the room we have Ramon and The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home’s (who actually contributes nothing) contribution to gay fashion hell. Psycho-delic sheer drapes and bondage gear…

Inspired by a wet-suit, Ramon slipped in a puddle, bonked his head, and came up with the idea that Catwoman was beach wear. Tim, the now self proclaimed Prophet of Doom nixes that idea with a quickness. Sayeth Doom Prophet: “I feel like I’m in a cartoon with a super hero…” You are Tim. But this aint it. Trust. So away goes The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home (and Contributes Nothing) to annoy someone else in the workroom, while Ramon comes up with a brilliant idea to chunk a Sham-Wow! into a shoe box of dye and make a dress that doubles as a car wash. Dirty Ford? Don this get up and go to town!!!

Anyway, long story short. It sucks. Q’ball and Epps are doing a George and Weezy routine. Scissors become weapons. Turtle Hannah and Sharin are uninspiring… I can’t even recall what the rest of the inmates are doing. The nausea and migraine are such at this point that I am dizzy… Onto the runway.

Miss Kors is yet again MIA. Not that anyone blames her. I think after Ari Stardust on episode one, Miss Kors’ overly orange behind jumped ship. Travesties abound on models that can’t walk. Blah blah blah. The least offensive of the worst are sent back to the kennel. The end leaves Ramon and The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home’s (who actually contributes nothing) standing there with their drapes and Sham-Wow! gown. The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home’s (who actually contributes nothing) gives us his best “I pooped…” face yet again – Heidi barks – Ramon babbles – The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home’s (who actually contributes nothing) poops some more – Ramon babbles some more – judges praise… My barf bag is overflowing. The Loser Who Has Yet to Go Home’s (who actually contributes nothing) finally gets sent home. Ramon’s car washer woman dress wins. Whooo.

This is Project Runway now?

“Fundamentally, I don’t get it.”

And to be perfectly frank, I don’t want it.

(And apparently, I am not the only one!)

Hey all just to warn you my computer has been a bit weird lately when I type so there might be some odd spacing and/or random letters in the middle of words that I don’t catch before I post this.

-Why are the men so annoyed Robert is gone? They seemed like they wanted to shove him out the door the last two episodes.

-Unlike Andy, the object of the men’s hatred, Suzanne actually can cook, so while she may be annoying and bossy, she’ll be around a while…

-Yay the taste test! Chef’s favorite challenge and one of mine as well.

-Andy says he can taste things no one else can- why do I have a feeling that statement will come back to haunt him in this challenge??

-Interesting Chef chose Tennille to sit out- I guess that means he’s been impressed with her these last few episodes (as have I). Suzanne is her usual cocky self of course.

-Good early matchup with Ariel and Van. I hope Ariel does well…

-Surprised Ariel missed the venison since she worked at a steakhouse. But at least she was close in saying roast beef. Tuna, Van??? Really??

-Van was allowed to change his answer on the last food. That doesn’t really seem fair to me but at least the women are still in the lead.

-Dave v. Suzanne- another good matchup.

-Can’t blame the two for not getting qunice, even if they work with it every day. I’ve never even heard of it!

-That egg yolk looked disgusting…

-I’m worried about Dave after that poor showing in the challenge. At least he seems to be really upset by how badly he did. He even gives himself an F!

-Kevin v. Sabrina- Chef does seem to be matching up the strongest cooks together, though I think Kevin may win this matchup.

-Maybe not. His spinach answer for clams is even worse than Van’s tuna answer before. And Kevin is a seafood guy too! At least Sabrina was in the fish family with her response.

-I think Chef put Andy and Amanda together because they are both on the bottom of their respective teams. She probably is the weakest on the red but not by as much as Andy is the weakest on the blue.

-Andy will either do really well or really badly.

-Wow Andy got lychee, another food I have never heard of. He may have some skills after all. Good for him if he wins the challenge for his team, but I hope he doesn’t because that would mean Amanda is in trouble.

-Glad to see Andy misses the next one. So much for his comeback. Now the best the men can hope for is a tie.

-Aaaand Andy fails! If he doesn’t go home this episode I’ll be amazed. And Amanda is the semi-hero for her team. Sure she only got one right, but that’s all she needed to. Maybe her team will finally see that she is competent after all.

-Andy is correct when he says no one else on his team did well either. But of course Andy is going to unfairly become the scapegoat since he was the last one up there and missed a relatively easy food with ahi tuna (of course he also got the really hard lychee, but I’m willing to be he won’t get any props for that).

-Ouch the men have to make sorbet by hand. That doesn’t sound fun. And sorting berries- ew!

-Van should really stop complaining considering he only got two right at the challenge. Then again that was a good number considering how bad everyone else did.

-The red team gets to dine in the dark. That’s kind of cool I guess, though I wonder how they’ll be able to see where the food is on their plate.

-Ew that men’s lunch looks gross. Duck in a blender?? I would totally throw up if I had to eat that.

-Chef makes a good point about how eating in the dark helps develop a palette. NOW the reward makes sense!

-I didn’t think Suzanne was sucking up to Chef by asking him about latest culinary trends. I thought she was just using this time with him to ask for advice. I usually don’t defend her but in this case I will.

- The red team is taking it a bit too far with the anti-Suzanne team. I get that she is a know-it-all but shunning her will just make things worse. The men learned that last week with Robert.

-The way things are going either Suzanne or Andy will likely be going home tonight depending on which team loses.

-Ariel gets to do the sorbet for the women. I guess that means Chef trusts her, which is good of course.

-Wow Tennille is being a surprisingly good leader on appetizers, NICELY telling Suzanne that the scallops are too dark. Miss I Am Always Right, of course, refuses to listen.

-But Suzanne was right about the scallops. That actually surprised me. Suzanne may be a poor leader but can actually cook, while the reverse is true of Tennille I guess.

-Kevin takes charge for the men on the first sorbet. I bet Chef likes that kind of thing. I’m not rooting for him but he is my early pick to win.

-Van falls apart on appetizers as Kevin leaves to do the sorbets. I guess the blue team does rely a bit too much on Kevin. It will be interesting to see if everyone else struggles too when he’s not in there.

-TENNILLE says her teammates have too big an ego??? That’s a pot calling kettle black if I’ve ever heard one.

-Chef isn’t too hard on Amanda when she first messes up- I guess (hope) that means he likes her potential.

-So two of the weakest chefs (Amanda and Andy) are on garnish tonight. Hopefully this will show Chef that Andy is worse than Amanda.

-Indeed the kitchen is lost without Kevin. I’m almost sure he will make the finals, likely against Ariel or Dave.

-Sabrina and Suzanne must work together?? This isn’t going to end well.

-If lamb does cook slower than fish like Sabrina says (which I think it does) then Suzanne should have waited to cook her fish obviously. Though Sabrina also could have reminded Suzanne of this so there is fault on both sides.

-Sabrina though gets all the blame for sending out raw lamb when clearly Suzanne was rushing her. Chef should have talked to both about working together more rather than only yelling at Sabrina.

-Can Sabrina get sick from eating that raw lamb?? I guess not but still Chef way overreacted to a situation that was not all Sabrina’s fault.

-Looking at that lamb, I don’t even think it is that undercooked.

-Glad to see Tennille stand up to Suzanne when Suzanne tried to rush her as well. Sabrina could have done the same, which is why she is PARTIALLY (but not fully) to blame for the undercooked lamb.

-The lamb Tennille sent out looks just like the one Sabrina sent out.

-Tennille might make it to singles at this rate…

-Chef tells Sabrina if the lamb isn’t good enough for her it shouldn’t be sent out to the customers at all. Then why did Chef let it be sent in the first place??? He should have realized it was undercooked before he served it, shouldn’t he?

-If the blue team had run out of potatoes, I don’t think it really would have been Andy’s fault, unless he was the one who prepped them.

-Why is Chef getting mad at Tennille at the end for taking charge in the kitchen? I thought he liked that in a chef.

-At least Suzanne messes up at the end with the fish and gets yelled at by Chef. She deserves it after messing up with Sabrina earlier but not getting blamed for it.

-I still don’t get why Andy running out of potatoes is his fault. But shouldn’t he have been the one to make more instead of Dave? But props to Dave for stepping up and doing so.

-Similarly, shouldn’t Suzanne have cooked her own fish instead of handing it off to Amanda? Sure Chef should have blamed Amanda more for the undercooked fish but I still don’t get why Suzanne couldn’t have just done it herself.

-Amanda is mad at Suzanne for ratting her out, but Amanda was the one who undercooked the fish, not Suzanne, so Suzanne had every right to do that.

-10 minutes left- I guess the kitchen will be shut down pretty soon.

-I do agree with Chef that Suzanne should have checked Amanda’s fish before serving it. But still I blame Amanda more than Suzanne for the second fish disaster.

-Andy does seem to be moving reallly slowly, and he has shown his incompetence in prior weeks. Plus he was a poor leader on the garnish station earlier. I would send him home but I have a feeling the red team might lose tonight.

-Indeed I was correct. It honestly could have gone either way, but I was hoping the red team would win so Andy could finally be sent home.

-Yay for Dave for getting more props from Chef! I’m surprised Kevin didn’t get a shout out too since he showed how great of a leader he was.

-As for the women, you figure Suzanne for sure will be put up for elimination. It is really close between Amanda and Sabrina for the other slot but since Amanda messed up more I would put her up. Especially since I think Sabrina got too much blame for undercooking the lamb. But considering Suzanne’s overall bad attitude and lack of communication on the fish station, plus that last disaster at the end, I would send her home.

-Then again Chef may shock us all and just send Andy home anyway.

-Tennille gets best of the worst, and deservedly so. Wow I can’t believe I just wrote that but it’s true. As Chef said it was her best service yet. Too bad she is obnoxious or I would be rooting for her.

-I do think the team ganged up too much on Suzanne during their deliberations. The whole part about her saying to Chef that she was ready with her food didn’t really seem like throwing the rest of her team under the bus, and neither did her telling Chef that Amanda cooked that last fish that went wrong. She did however screw over the team by not knowing the timing of cooking her fish, so I think she should go home more for that than for throwing her teammates under the bus.

-Totally agree with Tennille- definitely put Suzanne up for elimination, but then it’s close between Sabrina and Amanda. Since there is so little time left though I’m thinking it will be a quick decision, which likely means either Suzanne or Andy are out.

-Wow I’m surprised Tennille put up Sabrina when Amanda was worse tonight. Sabrina had that one mistake with the lamb but that wasn’t her fault, while Amanda sent up that small portion and messed up on that last lamb.

-Of course Amanda is asked to come forward anyway. I figured that was coming.

-Okay NOW Suzanne is throwing her team under the bus by saying they are only putting her up there out of spite. She could at least admit she made some mistakes tonight and that that is why she is really up there.

-Wow now the whole team is throwing HER under the bus. Though if the whole team thinks Suzanne was holding up Sabrina then it is probably true. Even if that is not the case it is pretty clear the red team can’t work with Suzanne so she either has to go home or be sent to the blue team.

-I can’t even type right now I am so shocked. I though Amanda might get sent home when Chef asked her if she could win (which she probably can’t) but still Suzanne was so bad and is so hated by her team I don’t understand why he kept her around. I’m sure conspiracy theorists will have a field day proposing that he kept Suzanne around for the drama.

-Seriously now even Andy was worse than Amanda tonight. Sure she wasn’t going to win but she could have lasted a few more weeks. She had a much better attitude than Suzanne and their cooking has been about even the past few weeks, with Suzanne being worse tonight.

-At least Chef was nice to Amanda in his voiceover about her, calling her a sweet girl.

-Well at least next week’s promo got me in a better mood. All the chefs get kicked out of the kitchen and yet ANOTHER blue team injury (they really are dropping like flies aren’t they?)

So what are your thoughts on this week’s show? Do you think Suzanne should have gone home? Or do you agree with Chef’s decision? Post your comments below.
