1) The Quickfire challenge was very poorly articulated. What were the rules as to how far you could stray from the original recipe? (The lawyer in me immediately interpreted the maximum possible latitude. This is why lawyers only beget more lawyers - we are trained to think around the rules.) Though I guess it was a moot point in the end since they all had to morph their dishes into soup.
2) I liked seeing the camraderie among the chefs this ep. They were more chilled out and complimentary towards each other than I've ever seen before on this series.
3) Susur should stay away from novelty platings. He doesn't have the subtlety to pull them off. I hated his Marge Simpson plate and cringed at the concept for his dessert in this ep. The former was like something off Olive Garden's kids menu and the latter, a Hooter's dessert special.
4) Jonthan can clearly roast a chicken like nobody's business but he was totally checked out of the competition, mentally. He just flat-out refused to play ball on the Elimination challenge. His words were clearly the hardest, but still.
