Just when we thought the drama had left with Seth, Top Chef: Just Desserts proves that the smack talking and cat fights are nowhere near over.
The Quickfire sounds very interesting this week: make a savory dessert using only one pot in one hour. All other kitchen equipment (ice cream makers, mixers, etc.) is off limits. The chef'testants are given a large table of food to grab their ingredients from and Morgan, in a hurry and with no regard for those around him, *accidentally* elbows Heather D. (or just Heather, because she's the only Heather left on the show) in the mouth. It's on now, biatch! Thus, Heather's hatred of Morgan is further ignited and we'll probably never hear the end of how awful he is — until one of them gets the boot.
The Elimination challenge was inspired by one of my favorite Micheal Jackson songs, "Black or White". Well, for this challenge they must utilize both (and only) black and white for their pastry creations. Other than that, the preview video doesn't reveal where or whom they're serving for. I am a little excited to see Zac get his panties in a wad over being limited in his color usage. "They don't make black disco dust!," he gripes. Well, my darling, in the words of Tim Gunn, "Make it work!"
