Episode Report Card Daniel: C | 1 USERS: F YOU GRADE IT You’re All Winners, In The Loosest Possible Sense Of The Word

Meanwhile, the champs are pushing out their final ticket. "That's why we're all champions," Paul tells us.
The diners start to fill out their comment cards. You know, except for the one diner who's waiting for her lamb. When she finally gets it, she declares it incredible and dinner service comes to a close.
Afterwards, Ramsay says in all the time he's been a chef, he's never seen a perfect dinner service. The competitors start to beam only to be deflated when he adds, "And tonight was no different." Ha! However, both teams performed very well, despite a few bumps. He says the comment cards will decide the winner. Diners were asked how many would come back based on tonight's service. The champions had a ninety-five percent rate, just edging out the final five at ninety-three. Aw! The cheftestants curse, while the former champs applaud -- not just themselves, but the other team. "Was there any fucking doubt we were going to win?" Paul asks us, apparently feeling a little more impressed with himself than he should for a two-percentage point margin.
The former champs depart and Ramsay tells the final five that they need to come up with two nominees that they think are the weakest individuals on the team. "This is where it gets ugly, let me tell you," he says sympathetically, before sending them up to the dorms.
That's where Jon tells Susan she should be one, because of the cappellini. Susan thinks her small mistake shouldn't hold her back. Meanwhile, Mary points out Cyndi's problems with the lamb. Neither Susan nor Cyndi are impressed, but I hate to tell them that when otherwise things are perfect even little problems will get you kicked out. Cyndi tries to shift the focus and tells Ja'Nel it looked like Susan was running her app station. Ja'Nel takes this about as well as you might imagine. "There's no fucking way she was running that station over me," Ja'Nel says. Susan's all, "Well..." Jon wouldn't mind seeing them both go home, declaring them his biggest competition.
The team marches back into the dining room, where Ja'Nel tells Ramsay that the first nominee is Susan, because of the timing issue with the cappellini. But the second nominee was harder, so let's take a commercial break to steel ourselves for it.
On the other side, Ja'Nel says the second nominee is Cyndi. Ramsay asks Cyndi who she thinks are the weakest members and Cyndi says that it's Susan and Mary. Susan is asked the same question and says that it's Cyndi and Mary.
