Yep, that was one of the few times I've genuinely laughed at something Krissi said. First she made fun of Bri for her "animal beliefs" while her eyes rolled into the back of her head, then she said that. It was too much awesome for me in one shot.
Say what?

There's no 'potentially' about it. Her image for this show is completely manufactured.
She's still living and dying on the merits of her cooking.
Unless they're taking her aside and tipping her off on dishes and how to prep them in advance she's still being judged on the quality of her food like everyone else.
And without being able to taste her meat as she's prepping it, either.
There's no doubt in my mind that she took a dive on the eclair pressure test just so she could get a free pass BACK into the competition... just for drama.
I roll my eyes any time Bri gives one of her "it's so awkward handling/cooking animals because I'm a vegetarian" confessionals.

I feel like that James guy has done it multiple times. I wonder if everyone is told to do it or if he just chooses to do it. But I've heard his sales pitch about Walmart steaks 2 or 3 times.

Oh man, I called Krissi winning long before the picked a top three and then selected her - it would just be too good for creating fake drama.
My wife has reached the point where Krissi's incessant bitchfests, eyerolls and snide comments are making her not want to watch the show any more. We'll see if she changes her mind for next week but she stood up immediately after the show last night and said she was done.
And I can't completely argue, Krissi is so much more grating than Ryan was last season. And he was kind of an enormous douche too.

Considering that Joe was doing it through gritted teeth while all the contestants were wearing a shit-eating grin, I imagine it's difficult. Kraid does a decent, if clipped pimp job. I don't recall Gordon doing it.
from this weeks Starr blog
I absolutely LOVE how enthusiastic Joe is as he reads off the cue card Walmart sells the highest quality choice beef which is inspected by the USDA for quality. Poor Joe, I know exactly how pissed off he was to have to say that. And, for the record, EVERY piece of beef you buy in the grocery store in this country is inspected by the USDA for quality. Again, Gordon is remarkably silent when it comes to discussing Walmart. He never says it once.
Bri brings her pigeon up to the judges, and we get a snarky comment from Krissi: I hope its raw inside, cuz I hate her. I feel like most folks have simmered down on the Krissi attacks recently, but maybe Im just out of touch. If you follow Krissi on social media, you know that she and Bri are dear friends. This is just more producers posturing contestants against each other in their interviews, and its not real. So dont get mad.

The thing about Krissi is as much as I want to believe that she's just hamming it up for the cameras she's just too fucking good at being an enormous cunt for it to all be an act. She's practiced this in life.
I don't see her winning but I definitely see her being the runner up, unfortunately. The show has clearly been edited to constantly tease and tantalize the viewer with the possibility of Krissi leaving the show in tears but I doubt they passed on an opportunity to maximize the number of hate views she brings in.

Still hoping James or Luca will win it all. Hell's Kitchen Masterchef, I'm hoping for "IT'S RAW YOU DONKEY! SHUT IT DOWN!"

Some choice comments from Ben's blog:
All that said, Bri actually messaged Ben directly. It's long, so here's the link:

I don't get why people like Luca. I feel like he's only here cause they felt bad for him not making it in last season. He's my second most hated person this season after Krissi.
Personality

I like how he dresses and I dig his accent. I really don't know much about him outside of that, so I admit that my liking him is pretty superficial. But Jessie? If she turns out to have a personality at some point it'll only be because her operating system was upgraded to have one.
James is just there to me. He's not that interesting.
Luca's awesome. and he's actually doing well these last few weeks.

He isn't putting himself up on a pedestal.
Luca is a piece of shit and the editing team is only showing the cute/funny/nice aspects of him because they want you to like him much like 90% of the time they show Kristi or Natasha being a bitch. Ben Starr has hinted at Luca not really being anywhere near how they are producing him to be.
Damn, then there is no one likable on the show. Damn you reality TV.
Where do you get that he's a "piece of shit" though? Ben seems to think everybody is different than the show says.
This is mostly true.
I forget where, one of Ben's blogs seemed to implied he was an asshole to other contestants that he got through his various MC connections.

Am I the only one rooting for Natasha? I mean, strong personality, super cute, truthful, and she cooks with a Rolex Sub, what could be better? 
(and I am still mesmerized by Graham fashion style, just PERFECT!)
