At the start of this week’s episode, everyone was pretty unmoved by Alex’s departure, and now it seems that much of the pent-up anger and disdain people felt towards Alex is shifting onto Amanda. Which, given her performance last week and in previous weeks, makes a bit of sense.

But the best part of this week’s pre-Quickfire intro was seeing Ed wander around the Top Chef house in one of Tiffany’s dresses — Ed, we applaud your courage, but yellow isn’t your color — and finding out about Angelo’s insane unusual motivational strategies: apparently, as a child, he put candles in front of photos of famous chefs and prayed to them. Which is weird. Now that he’s an adult, he reads Tony Robbins books and gives himself daily motivational speeches. Whatever works for you, guy.
