These people are actually making me LIKE Marcel.

I have known a LOT of guys like him who deep-down are nice and funny, but so insecure that all they can do is keep up the uber-arrogant front. I think that when he grows up a little and gains some confidence he'll be cool- he seems to have a sense of humor (has to with that hair) and wit that'll serve him well.

The behavior of the other chefs in CONSTANTLY ganging up on him really turned me off. What was the point of that statement Elia made last night? If there was cheating she should have said something when it happened. Giving a half-ass non-specific complaint to the judges at the 11th hour realllly made her look desperate and bad. And I loved how Ilan and Sam, who were supposed to be in there with her stopped saying anything and let her be the one to hang herself, lol.

Also- could not be less interested in the finale now, lol. Once again, the problem with this show is I can't taste the food- I have no objective way of judging who is better other than going on judges opinions that could easily be biased or influenced by producers.
