With Kenny, that's a tad more than half—not really enough to establish a statistical pattern.<br /><br />Lee Anne, Sam, and Jennifer all survived RW leadership to cook another day.MoHubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772800856435771576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768432491842996795.post-32777326275763754662010-08-13T09:48:37.991-04:002010-08-13T09:48:37.991-04:00Katie,

But that does not affect the food that comes out of his kitchen. As Gail said, diners don't care about kitchen drama - we only care about what the food is like and how WE are treated.<br /><br />Also, Kenny appointed himself team leader, and he made two atrocious meals. Amanda overcooked steak but made a good sauce.

If the judges knew how crazy they were in the kitchen and how rude Alex was being to people, do you think their minds would have changed? The food is most important, but their behavior just rubbed me the wrong way. <br /><br />I think Amanda should have gone home. When you put it all out there, you have this: 1) Kenny making two dishes and leading the team in a very professional way and 2) Amanda just cooking a steak. None of their food was very good, but I still think Kenny should have come out on top between the two of them. The judges are only proving that you can take a back seat at Restaurant Wars and slide right on through. There should be some recognition given to Kenny because of the great leadership he provided.Katiehttp://foodwithkatie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768432491842996795.post-692150700917798082010-08-13T09:07:00.354-04:002010-08-13T09:07:00.354-04:00I am sure that if the Blue Team had won, there is ...I am sure that if the Blue Team had won, there is no question Alex would have been PYKAG'd. However, that's not how it worked out. He'll go soon enough, and hopefully, Amanda will follow.<br /><br />As often as chefs with subpar performances have skated by in team challenges on the tails of the rest of the winning team, chefs with good dishes have been branded losers by being on the losing team. Think Carla and Ariane in the Foo Fighters Thanksgiving challenge and Kevin in this week's Restaurant Wars.<br /><br />A chef on a losing team may be safe from elimination, but even if his or her dish is the best of both teams, that chef cannot take the win if he or she is on the losing team.<br /><br />Unfortunately, those are the rules, however much they may suck.MoHubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772800856435771576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768432491842996795.post-78007456040351684202010-08-13T03:11:56.969-04:002010-08-13T03:11:56.969-04:00I'm not shocked about Kenny at all.

But they won so he was safe. Regardless of what the blue team thought. Blue lost.
