This "stepping down" move is so played out. Contestant X knows they are going home so in a pathetic attempt to save face, and not be embarrassed by getting kicked off the show, they voluntarily leave.

This was different from when Mia left. Mia wasn't going to be sent home.

Oh... I kind of thought she was likely getting sent home, which motivated Mia to do what she did.

Iirc, someone else was head chef in a group and was looking alot like they were going to be sent. They may have even said the decision, I'm not sure. Mia screwed up her dish but seemed to be getting a pass on it. She felt responsible for the chick being on the block so instead she took the hit.

Very different vibe than the Howie situation.

Reading the comments on Padma's blog has been kinda fun. Judges are really taking a nice hit the last couple weeks.


They also have some video of Sara N and Camille being interviewed(pre-show, I think) Yum!
