Episode Report Card Mr. Sobell: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Go Fish
By Mr. Sobell | Season 1 | Episode 6 | Aired on 08.25.2010
Before sending some poor bastard home, the judges pick the winner who managed to monkey-see/monkey-do Cat's recipe -- and that winner is Jake. He's pleased. And your bottom three? Mike, Slim and Faruq. They look less pleased. "You've got to do more than just dream about being a great chef," Cat tells them. "You've got to practice it and live it every day." Gordon is concerned about Slim's one-trick pony-style of cooking; Mike moves too fast for his own good; Faruq lacks finesse. But which one will leave MasterChef? Finesse-free Faruq. "You follow your dream, you keep your head up high," Gordon tells him. "Because you have come a long way in a very short time." Am I the only one who finds this an odd thing to say after you've just criticized someone for their lack of finesse? Anyhow, Faruq graciously tells everyone what a pleasure it was to be there. "When I walked off," he says, "there was no sorrow." Really? That's going to disappoint the producers, who were hoping you'd have a good on-camera cry.
