Anyone else getting a distinctly racist vibe from this show? They use the "worst performer of the challenge" excuse when it fits their needs, and forget about it at other times. How often has one of the judges talked about not booting someone because of his/her potential or past successes? Tre had been the best chef up to that point. It came down to deciding between him and CJ, who has showed nothing before and showed nothing again this week, and Tre goes. Hmm.

Cliff was kicked off the show last season for wrestling with Marcel, but Frank threatening to beat the crap out of Marcel, that was just funny. Faced with booting Elia, Colicchio leaps at Mia's sort-of offer to quit. "You're saying you want to resign? Great! You're outta here."

Not saying it's intentional, but in three seasons the highest a black chef has finished is fifth. Fourth for an Asian chef (Leanne). Elia, the whitest Latina they could find, finishes fourth. At this rate, I would say Hung's or Sara's chances are not good.

Isn't Ilan Hispanic? (not that doesn't make him White technically).

Well, his last name is Hall and he's from Great Neck, NY, so I'm guessing not.

Yeah I really cared enough about Ilan to even wonder what his last name is.

So why even reply in the first place? The hardcore Sucksters continue to fascinate with their propensity to say nothing - and say it often. Keep trying. Maybe the 10,000th post will magically contain a shred of usefulness to someone.
