Through the epi, I kept telling my 8 yo, "Mike I is going home. It's "pride precedes the fall." And she kept saying, "But the judges don't know that he said all that." She had a point, but Mike I was stupid enough to play the pride card at judges table. It was good television. My favorite part was when Tom said, "You could have roasted them" and Mike said, "I didn't think of that." Then Tom did that hand-flap, raised eyebrows, exhale, lean back thing that he does. Then I knew Mike was, indeed, toast. Oh, Jen, Jen, Jen, Jen. She's falling apart. I don't know if she's going to pull it together. She even KNOWS it's a confidence problem and that it could finish her off, but she just can't get focused on the food. She's too psyched out over the whole thing. (Carla fell apart, too. Crying at the judges table. Man, oh, man.) Kevin is coming across as the most personable AND the most skilled at making delicious food. Yes, the V-boys break out all the fancy schmancy, but Kevin is focused on the primary intent of cooking: delivering good tasting food. He's keeping his eyes on the prize. So I guess it may end up being "don't trust a skinny chef" after all is said and done? We'll see. I would love a Jen redemption, but the judges know they saved her TWICE from elimination, and I think it may be a 3 strikes you're out if she falls flat again. They aren't supposed to be considering track record, and Jen herself would resent being saved in order to be the "token" women in T4. Heck, she practically put a noose around her own neck at judges table and handed them the rope and said, "pull." Jen, Jen, Jen. She should have stood tall, looked them in the eye, done her little smirky, winky thing and said, "I recognize my error, but it will not happen again," looking ahead with confidence. Le Sigh. I, too, wonder how much the V-boys are getting the bad boy edit. I wonder if Kevin ever says anything mean-spirited and critical, and we are just getting the sibling rivalry, whose the biggest jerk edit. But I think not. I think that Kevin really is kind-hearted, and the V-boys are really Machiavellis with knives. Give me food made with good-natured love of the craft over "I can outshine you, dammit" on a plate. Robin? OK. It's been fun to see middle-of-the packs FREAK to see her last longer, but enough is enough. Send her home. Eli. Little engine that could. I suppose he could break out a slew of wins at the end here, but I am not holding by breath. Prediction for boot order: Robin, Eli, Jen, leaving a T3 of V-boys and Kevin. After that, it's really a crap shoot. I see Kevin as the most consistent, but either one of the brothers could create something in the last challenge with a WOW factor that gives him a win (with Bryan having an advantage over Michael).
