    Love the Buffalo Springfield reference, Josh.

    Can you feel it getting down to the wire?

    Next week, I really hope that Jen and Kevin are able to pull things off and get rid of one of the brothers. I'm sick of their storyline. I get it, they're brothers who are fiercely competitive. I'm over it. Both are arrogant and full of shit.

    On another note, what is up with Chef's Academy? Why did Bravo feel the need to put such a crappy show on after such a good one?

    @heywhat: Wow, so I agree with you on the brothers and would like to ask Bravo the same thing.

    ETA: How awesome was it that Kevin won after Michael called his cooking "the food that I cook on my day off?"

    @Conchie Birdie: See, that is the very reason I cannot stand the brothers. They constantly have something nasty or mean spirited to say about everyone else. When Bryan was like "I could have made Gavin Keysen's Bocuse d'Or dish better than Gavin", I rolled my eyes and said "So, why didn't you?". If they were as good as they think they are then they would be judging the competition and not competing along side the other chefs.

    I am thrilled Eli's finally gone, although I was a little stunned that Blaise would be good friends with such a product-laced twerp.

    @Conchie Birdie: He was coasting along on "never the worst, never the best" like Hosea last season. Three good chefs totally breaking down in the finale would be more interesting than one skidding by with merely edible cooking.

    Also with more experience and maturity(not living at home anymore), he would have been a better contestant.

    @karion: I read that too, and I completely agree. For all the shit people have given Eli, he's pretty damn accomplished for only being 25 years old. And based on Richard's blog, the reason he lives at home isn't because he's a loser, but because he's sacrificed money to work for a pittance and learn from the best. Add to that the fact that all of the accomplished (and older) chefs in the competition seemed very fond of him, and I'm officially an Eli fan.

    Michael V acts like the trophy is his own
    Until a judge chokes on a fish bone
    Bryan just waits and sits
    But the judges say it tastes like shit

    Kevin plays the waiting game
    Keeps it simple and take the blame
    For playing it safe, but it works.
    He's at Bocuse d’Or, not those jerks

    Jen gets her Quickfire to click
    But her salmon gets cut too thick.
    So from five we cut it down to four.
    Eli's lamb is raw and is shown the door.

    Mother of Christ, a recap in rondeau?
    Oh kindly please tell me it ain’t so!
    It sets the bar too high for those
    More comfortable commenting in prose.
    Alas, say I, behold and lo,

    I’ll humbly try to give it a go.
    This episode was tense and raw,
    Enticing as a blooming rose.

    Eli’s defeat was a harsh blow
    Out of which success will grow.
    From my own angle of repose,

    I think Thomas Keller must enclose
    A "French Laundromat" joint, to-go
    In his portfolio, for the poors!

    Can the brothers just kill each other already? I'm sick of both of them. I don't know if Jen has it in her to win the whole thing but I prefer her or Kevin over both brothers any day. How could both of them turn out to be such assholes? Maybe their mother was a drinker.
