Previously
on “Top Chef”: a Quickfire with habaneros, which Brooke won,
because clearly she's the favorite. Poor Sheldon bought a tamale
thinking it was cheese, so that's how the day went for him. The
Elimination challenge was cooking with “traditional Mayan
ingredients and techniques”. That means over an open fire with just
your knives and a mortar and pestle, and without a lot of ingredients
everyone wants to use like garlic and onions. Brooke got really
flustered and threw a lot of stuff at her dish, exactly the problem
she was having when she was eliminated the first time. Sheldon saw
his competitors cooking fish wrapped in leaves and decided they just
decided to for whatever reason, so didn't use leaves and his fish
stuck to the grill. Shirley did not make mistakes and won, and then
the judges sent Sheldon home because clearly this whole season has
been a way for Brooke to win because someone is mad she got screwed
by that one weird finale set up. I like Brooke but it's so clearly
obvious that I don't see why I should watch anymore. Let's hope
there's a twist. But I doubt it. (click for more)
