Eric was the only serious guy there.
Rocco “My restaurant was displayed as public mockery and my mom showed she world she could cook better then me, and care more about my business than me too” Despirito was total FAIL.

Grrrr… I wish they could just do a new season right now, to make up for the horrors of this season.

I think a 3.5 course meal just fails to demonstrate enough breadth, consistency, and talent to make it a fair and interesting challenge.

Definitely agree with you about the guest judges. I can’t even remember one who really stood out, except for the always-excellent Eric Ripert. Having Natasha Richardson on was just ridiculous (like having LL Cool J and Natalie Portman on Project Runway).

This final challenge felt more like a quickfire to me… it was unoriginal, lacked flair and frankly bored the crap out of me.

This season sucked. Let’s face it. It had its moments sure but I really want to see some change for next season. And can we get some real good judges that are not idiots and pricks?
