um.. ep. 5

i'm getting all of my stuff from wikipedia now, i may add commentary, but yeah, way easier to catch up.

all of the links are like, not from me, so i wouldn't bother with them.

Episode 5: The Elements
Quickfire Challenge: The chefs' palates are tested by a series of 15 comparisons. For every comparison, each chef is blindfolded and tastes two variations of a certain food, one of which is of a lesser quality than the other. The chefs are scored for each high-end ingredient they correctly identify. i love the challenges like these, testing their pallets. great
The Best: Antonia (12/15); Jen (11/15), Ryan (11/15)
The Worst: Stephanie (6/15)
WINNER: Antonia (Prize: Immunity in the next Elimination Challenge.)
Elimination Challenge: The chefs are split into four groups of three by drawing knives, each assigned to one of the classical elements: Earth, Water, Fire, or Air. Each team is to create a first-course meal based on that element for 80 people of Chicago's Celebrity Chef-Meals on Wheels Fundraiser, held at the old Marshall Field & Co. Building. Survey cards were filled out by the patrons of the dinner that evening and used as part of the judging process.
i thought this was kind of cool, the elements. water did like fish, fire did spice, earth... spike wanted to do a squash soup, but antonia, with immunity, didn't want to. bad move... water did fish type things. richard and andrew, perfect together. dale and lisa do NOT get along.
Team Air: Jennifer, Nikki, Ryan
Team Earth: Antonia, Spike, Zoi
Team Fire: Dale, Lisa, Stephanie
Team Water: Andrew, Mark, Richard
WINNER: Lisa of Team Fire (Grilled shrimp with pickled chili salad, deviled aioli, and miso-smoked bacon) sounds good! but i don't like lisa, she's creepy
ELIMINATED: Zoi of Team Earth (Beef carpaccio with mushroom salad and sunchoke aioli)
oh no! zoi and jen were split up! whatever will happen!?! jen was real upset, reall real upset
