Another crap episode. At the seven-minute mark, I thought Kevin was for it, but then it became clear he was getting the redemption edit. Then, at thirty-two minutes past the hour, when Timothy announced he was just going to serve his cubes of vegetables, I was certain he would get the boot. What on earth possessed him? I mean, he's been pretty awful from the start, but that was some dumb choice.
I was astonished at the simplicity of most of the dishes, given the contestants had three hours to cook. A salad? A vegetable soup? Jesum.
Didn't see the point of the conceit that they were all working for the same team. Maybe it was to see whether they'd be capable of constructing a harmonious menu without direction? If that was the challenge, they sure didn't rise to it. It was painful watching all the wrangling during the planning, in particular the head-butting between Angelo and Kenny (I think no one should be allowed to call himself an "alpha male"). I suppose Bravo's producers thought the wrangling made for entertaining TV.
I was most impressed with Kelly this round. I don't like her manner, but she did competent work, stood up for herself, and gave some decent advice here and there.
