It's the calm after the storm (the sh*t storm of crazy, that is) on Top Chef: Just Desserts. With Mr. Meltdown and Debbie Downer out of the competition, things seemed calmer and more focused on last night's episode. Granted, the incessant bitching and cattiness hasn't ceased, but who would expect it to with the likes of these divas? Or should I say, "Go Divas".
Souffle was the challenge for the Quickfire and no one seemed to mess up too horribly. Flavor was the only major thing critiqued. Well, Zac did get knocked down to the bottom three for freezing instead of baking his souffle. And the whole thing was over in, like, eight minutes, which led us to think that there would be a whole lot of drama and excitement taking up the rest of the hour.
And, boy, were we wrong.
The rest of the show played out like all of the last season of Top Chef: lackluster with a ridiculous challenge. For the Elimination, the chef'testants had to pick a pair of stilettos to be the inspiration for their high fashion edible dress and coordinating petit fours (bite-sized cakes). Either the challenge rules weren't very strict or Danielle and Heather C. just misread them because they both ended up making dresses from items found in the produce section of the grocery store. Meanwhile, their opponents were busy draping their mannequins in chocolate, candies and cookies.
