I don't remember anything being said about Ariane. Also the Asian guy seemed to be left out of the entire night and he just sat there looking pissed.
Fabio was nice but I really, really was rooting for Carla. The saddest thing is that I know she would have won had she held true to "her food". Some people have a good sense of their food but can't cook. Carla could cook but just didn't have that belief in herself. sigh.....
But on a brighter note, she has gotten so much exposure and has learned to always remain true to her culinary vision that she will be a success in any restaurant she opens or works at.
