I thought Richard's dessert that won the quickfire looked like it had a big turd on the plate. Not v appetizing.

Antonia and Lisa's dish should have been disqualified, and one of those two should have gone home. Seriously, how did they eke by without using the key ingredient? I thought Tom's argument that the goat cheese upstaged the asparagus was lame, because whether asparagus was centerstage or not, at least it was there! Also, I'm with you on Richard. I know he does good work, but man, is he pretentious and arrogant! Every time he's all, "I'm extremely witty and clever", my boyfriend and I say, "If you have to say it out loud, then it's probably not true". I can't help but root against him. Still, my predictions of a final three are Dale, Richard, and Stephanie, with Stephanie being the first female chef to take it all.
