What, no fried Spam? And they call that Hawaiian?

First of all, was it really necessary to tack on an extra 15 minutes so that we could see them ride on a plane? We were more than halfway into the show before anyone started cooking. Boring!
Elia, Elia… you were my favorite, but now you’ve ruined it for me, no matter how cute you were with that shaved head. Yes, Marcel is annoying, but sometimes you just have to let it go. I was embarassed for you.
Tonight I actually had more respect for Padma than Tom. (Which doesn’t mean that I’m starting to like her, but rather that I’m starting to really dislike him.) His criticism of Sam for “not cooking” was ridiculous. Something else is going on there, and I’m guessing it has something to do with Sam’s hotness. I’ll miss him, but whatever– we probably wouldn’t have gotten to see him naked anyway.
Gail seemed less cranky than usual. I wonder how many rum-filled pineapples it took to get her in a good mood.
I have to agree with their critcism of Elia– her dishes didn’t seem Hawaiian. It would have been nice to know how important that was supposed to be. I wonder if the contestants get a more complete explanation than we viewers do.
So now it’s down to Ilan and Marcel, the arch enemies. I wonder if the fact that Sam was eliminated has anything to do with that? But I’m sure the producers wouldn’t make that decison just to squeeze some more drama out of the show. Uh-huh.

If in the beginning of the season you told me that Marcel would be my favorite I would have laughed in your face. I’m guessing its all in the editing (maybe even scripted), but Marcel seems to be the only one who can just do his own thing and avoid the drama as much as possible.
“This is just an (terribly weak) example of a pattern of behavior (of which I can name no other examples)” was the worst argument EVER. How is it Elia started off the season befriending and defending Marcel to have it end up like this?
I hate Ilan.
