Well that sucked, I thought Marcel killed that challenge and Ilan did the same [censored] he has done every week. But the judges got to eat it and they know more about food than me so I guess I can't really say that they made the wrong choice.

Marcel had 5 dishes. One was a green salad and one was Sam's idea. How is that "killing it"?

I don't have a problem with Marcel getting credit for Sam's dish - that's the job, more or less. But he also has to take the hit for a salad that was apparently bland. Eh, who knows.

I wish Marcel had won, but mostly I just wish I hadn't known in advance.

Like most of his items, bayleaf fritters are served as part of a desert at the restaurant Ilan worked at.

I hate him.

It was painful to watch Ilan win but imagine how Sam must have felt.

I love how the editing made it seem like Michael submarined Marcel. The furtive looks around the kitchen as he exits the walk-in, the interview quote, Marcel discovering numerous missing items... it all made me think Michael deliberately sold him short. Until I thought about how ridiculous that is, and how, if Marcel spotted two round pans of sauce or whatever missing, how would he not see a main protein in a pan in the same cooler? I thought the editors did an especially good job playing up Marcel "stealing" Michael, and then having that come back to bite him.
