1. Dale - Another solid performance from Dale. He's like a cooking machine with tons of attitude.
2. Richard - He needs a good week to wrestle the top spot from Dale, but he's been almost as consistent, except for that one salmon snafu.
3. Antonia - Finally, she fulfills some of the potential everyone saw in her. The question is whether we will see the Antonia from episode 8 down the stretch, or whether she will revert to her mediocre ways.
4. Andrew - With two good elimination challenge dishes in a row, Andrew is starting to break out of the middle of the pack.
5. Stephanie - How the mighty have fallen. She was so good until two weeks ago. Now her dishes are just pedestrian. Has she run out of creative ideas, was she just a flash in the pan, or is this just a temporary slump?
6. Spike - A middle of the pack performance from Spike, but the bottom chefs are starting to get weeded out. Maybe he should make a few more soup dishes.
7. Nikki - Her best performance since episode one. She could be the next chef kicked off, however. She's been the most consistent poor performer of all the remaining chefs. Some people may think she's turned the corner, but I wouldn't bet on it.8. Lisa - Surprise, more attitude at the judges table. She's probably a better cook than Nikki, but she could be sent home first for running her mouth.
Eliminated
Mark - He had been on a downward spiral for a few weeks, so this wasn't unexpected. However, I thought he would pull it together for a little longer and at least outlast Nikki. He certainly didn't help himself when he called out Colicchio at the judges' table. The judges are probably happy they don't have to eat marmite anymore.
