Anyone else watch this week?

I had no problem with Jen's departure. Aside from being a train wreck on the describing challenge (I'm kind of willing to cut her slack on the Udon, though I would have thought she'd noticed the difference once tasting it...) the way she opened that jar was pathetic. There are so many other ways to do that safely! And if she absolutely could not get the lid off...why not do it off to the side away from any food? I also can see where the judges called the deconstructed dish a cop-out--though it didn't bother me too much. I suppose they could have gotten boneless turkey/chicken breasts and some duck, pounded it all flat into a roulade of sorts and made that instead, but whatever. Jen was outclassed and needed to go. I still don't care for Lisa. I kind of wonder how Lisa would do on Top Chef. I'm having difficulty deciding if her cooking is really that much above everyone else--or if eveyrone else is just beneath her (except for maybe Shane & Kelsey). I'm suspecting it's more the later.

Adam and Aaron--the blind leading the visually challenged. Aaron has had problems of eh-food and no personality. Adam has had problems of eh-food and personality. You knew this couldn't end very well. I wouldn't be surprised to see both men go in the next few weeks. Shane is the male to beat.

Speaking of, Shane was the only one to nail the first challenge: he was warm, friendly, did exactly what was expected of him. Kelsey was so-so this time around. Their dish was the obvious winner this week too. Although not my fave, I think Kelsey is becoming the one to beat: she's starting to do real well on a consistant basis, and now that she's toned it down a bit, she's coming across real well on camera.
