Top Chef Just Desserts: Week 8

Jillian: Hey Sara, welcome back! Can you believe we are down to the top 4 after this weeks episode?

What did you think of the quickfire challenge where the contestants had to make a pie using only one hand? I thought it was interesting to see just how beautiful they were still able to make their pies with perfect cuts and piping!

Sara: I enjoyed watching them struggle with that as well. I also felt bad for Matt who barely touched his plate to scoot it over and was DQed. They all did great for only having one hand! The challenge of creating an upscale carnival food this week was very interesting. I have to say I am getting sick of Chris’s cocky attitude. Have you noticed it?

Jillian: I sure did notice Chris’s attitude! Especially with his pie “There was plenty of banana in there”, well obviously not! I am still shocked that Orlando was left in the competition, yet again he was scolded for using the name of something “Caramel Apple” without making caramel or apple the main feature. It brought me back to his Root Beer Float that had no soda. The elimination challenge was to recreate a Carnival Favorite, who was your favorite and least favorite?

Sara: I liked Carlos’s mini hamburger with churro fries. I thought Chris’s(gotta look it up later) concoction was just too much! I have to say I am kinda starting to see a softer side to Orlando and am liking it. He and Sally have seemed to bonded and it warms my heart a bit. What about you? Favorite and least?

Jillian: I liked Carlos’s burger and fries as well, and the judges admitted they liked the craft of them as well, though unfortunately when they went to eat them they just fell apart and did not work. I was heart broken to see him go home, especially after he had just won the quick fire. Orlando was most definitely my least favorite as I feel he just has an idea and goes with it whether it meets the challenge or not. I still see him as overly cocky and not worthy. I honestly think he has stayed just because the judges see him as a ratings booster.

Who would you like to see in the final three? I think it is pretty clear that I would like to see Chris, Sally & Matt

Sara: As much as I was against him at the start of the season I have to say I would like to see Orlando, Sally and Matt as the final three. I can’t wait to see who makes it in this weeks episode!
