Aww man, they chopped Nigel. I thought the spaghetti looked good.

[Pluff Mudder]

It did, except it needed more sauce.

The Jamaican guy got chopped, but my hubby won! Woohoo!!

[Food Network Fan]

Congrats. Maybe we will get to know him better. It would be nice to see the Food Network do some specials with the winners.

Congrats to your DH! I bet he though his arm was going to fall off whisking that sauce. Made me tried just watching him. Glad switching to the mixer worked for him.

Yeah, he said his arm was about to fall off and float away! He actually finished 5 minutes early though. Editing was interesting! I actually find the show pretty interesting. I know some people think it's a rip off of Top Chef, but I think it's original in that there are always new faces and that the judges aren't just huge faces, but people who are working their butts off in the industry still and know what these contestants are going through.

I wanted Nigel to win.

Guess at times, the judges don't seem to realise very good talent even if it came up and slapped them in the face! So his dishes were a bit too spicy for their liking. That's the way that he likes to cook.
