Once the mystery box challenge was over & the result was announced, I pretty much abandoned the show for the night. I did peek back once in a while, just to see what they were cooking, but I wasn't going to watch the glowering "overwatcher" reveling in success. BLECH!!  |

Right? Every ten seconds they had to pan up to that grinning vulture and her silly expressions. It ruined the damn show.
Poor ol' Ralph, I liked him. Honestly, I thought Shanika's dish looked unappealing - two big brown blobs on a plate with sauce drizzled around them - but I guess the editors thought it was her turn up top. Sigh.

I agree...plus that reptilian thing coming out of her head was off-putting

You know it's GOT to be hanging in or near the food the whole time she's cooking! It's a pony tail and held a lot tighter in place than all that loose hair on the other contestants. Geeze |

I honestly have no idea how some of these chefs are in the Top 12 tbh. I guess the judges want to see them improve more. I wasn't expecting Ralph to go that was a tough one  |

It's a pony tail and held a lot tighter in place than all that loose hair on the other contestants. Geeze  Okay, obviously it's a ponytail; I was making a joke. I was playing on the fact that it looks like she has a tall fez or something on her head with a giant long braid growing out the top and trailing way far down. And I realize that it's held tightly together (like, as a "unit"), but the tail end of the "unit" hangs down a lot farther (and dangles around out of control) than when the others tie their hair up close to their head.

I am catching up with MasterChef... I'm so far behind!!
Shanika is hard to root for. She's bitter and confrontational. BUT I really did like the flavor combination in her arancini. It didn't look super as far as plating goes, but I'm assuming the taste made up for it. I feel like she's either getting a villain edit or she's really a sourpuss.
Who knew citrus dishes would be so hard? I figured they'd all pull a staple and put their own spin on it.
I didn't see Ralph as the winner so I'm not surprised to see him go. I actually don't see SJ going much further, though.
