First time at judge's table: You all put out crap.

Second time at the table: Some dishes wowed us.

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I think Top Chef has made some serious errors this season. They chose a bunch of chefs that are all relatively talented, not that interested in drama, and are fairly mature. For me, this episode actually showed that the competitors may have more integrity than the judges (who, of course, are bound by the network to be entertaining, so it's not exactly their fault).

Sending Howie hokme was the obvious and probably right choice. But I really came to like that guy over the last three weeks, and I would have liked to see some of his choices and his integrity be rewarded. But who you would send home besides him, well, no idea.

It's tough to see a frontrunner at this point. Maybe that's what they were going for, but it feels weird. I feel like a few people won't go much further, but at the same point I felt like Howie should still be here.

Who knows.
