I knew it would be a double elimination.  I watch enough reality TV to know the signs and Tivo gave it away.  I looked up next weeks show and it said “Top 6 Compete.”  Not 7, but 6.

I am so happy Ben Starr didn’t go home last night.  Phew.  I was super tense when Ramsey actually made a face of disgust after tasting his soup.  I thought for sure he was a goner until I saw who he was up against and then I was 100% certain he was safe.  I like it when I’m right.

What about Suzy making a comeback?  Two top dishes in one night.  I’m impressed.  She’s still cocky but she’s turned down the volume a bit so it’s so much easier to like her now.

Christian.  I have been waiting and waiting for him to get his comeuppance.  I thought it was a flat out elimination Monday but I’ll settle for Ramsey’s dressingdown last night.  Do I think he’s going to change?  Never.  I don’t think anything could change Christian’s attitude.

All in all an exciting night.  I’m sure you have a favorite by now.  Who is it?  Mine is Ben Starr.

MasterChef is on Monday at 8pm MT on FOX.
