Completely addicted to this show but of course everyone has some comments to make, right? First of all, enough with the freak show ingredients. I understand the importance (and fun) of seeing how well everyone can improvise but sometimes it's just too ridiculous. Gummy bears? Seriously? These chefs are at the top of their game and I feel I don't get to see their full talents when they're just trying to do damage control. Let a player play for goodness sake. The comedy show was such a waste of time. Secondly, when is Alex going home already? I guess it is a tv show and they want to keep the unlikable one for drama's sake but I'm done with her. She's always such a ruthless you know what judging everybody but then folds and freaks out over everything. I felt so bad for Elizabeth when she got paired with her in the first episode and Alex was having a "panic attack". At this level of competition I don't feel it was Falkner's job to babysit her. Basically Alex, if you can't stand the competitive heat get out of the Iron Chef Kitchen. What a whiner! I have a couple of favorites but am just waiting to see what happens. Love this show!
