Top Chef Just Desserts: Week 3
Jillian: Hey Sara! I wish I could of been a contestant this week, the quick fire challenge with special guest Hugh Acheson - the task: create a small dessert that could be translated into a new flavor for Extra Dessert Delights Gum, is right up my alley. I would of loved to create a lemon berry dessert, sweet but tart. I was really excited when Craig won, while I don’t think he is going to make it much longer it was nice to see him get a vote of confidence with his winning Lemon Marscapone Pancakes with Amaretto Strawberries.
Sara: I thought I was going to be excited about Craig winning but I found myself annoyed. Mainly because I thought Carlos with his Passion Fruit Gelee, coconut Tapioca and Meringue should have won. It was adorbs! I was also a little weary that since he won he was one of the two team captains for this week. I feel he is so naive, that it seemed disastrous from the start to have him leading a team. What did you think?
Jillian: Oh my, while I was proud of Craig for winning the challenge I was real scared for him to be leading a team, and seriously what was he thinking picking Orlando? The challenge was to design a dessert table for one of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and I have to say I was surprised at Craig for trying to help everyone but it was obvious he was neglecting his own dessert and not giving the best advice. I felt awful for him when they were in front of the judges table and he was getting slammed by all the judges.
I would send this back to my girl Sara now but she has been having lots of technical difficulties this week so I'm just going to finish up with my thoughts of the two teams.
Obviously Craig's team did not do so well, while I thought their table looked nice, it was not up to par with the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Standards and the desserts were rated as "okay" from the judges, nothing special and definitely not Top Chef Worthy.
Now Amanda's team on the other hand absolutely killed the competition with a beautiful and professional table setting and exquisite desserts for the Housewives. (see picture above)
In the end the Judges wanted to send Craig home but as he had immunity they were forced to eliminate Nelson - though they did not make it a secret that Craig was their first choice.
