I'm bummed that they booted Jamie. I thought she had a decent chance at beating Stephan. Looks pretty predictable now, unless Carla's comment about people underestimating her was prophesy. Leah should have been the one booted. She gave up and she screwed up the cooking again -- one portion too done, one too raw. Jamie's only crime was allowing the broth to reduce too much, resulting in oversalted celery. She knew it, but there was no time to fix it. Knowing what you did wrong and how to fix it (Jamie) is better than not knowing what went wrong and giving up (Leah). In her restaurant, Jamie wouldn't have served the mistake. She would have redone it.
I hate that Leah is still there, but I love that Carla is still there. She was so funny when Ripert was examining her sardines. They were both holding back a laugh and she says, “You don't have to say, we all know what it is.” I love you, Carla! Thank God you're still around. Now I'm going to have to pull for a Carla win, although it isn't very likely.
