Loved Michael Cera here. The celebrity judges don't always have good takes, but his points were solid. Really interesting to see Bailey coming back from LCK, curious to see how she does now that she's back.

Next week's challenge is a team challenge, with both members going home. Bailey and Tristen both have immunity. Will they be teamed up, or both sit this one out?
Also, I was disappointed in the bottom 3. They had been doing really well, up until then.

I have to say, this ep kinda pissed me off.

First, if you're going to call the episode Top Chef Trivia, then have a trivia game ABOUT TOP CHEF! I was so disappointed. Plus, they barely showed the game, just a few choice moments. What a waste.

Second, it is WAY too early to bring someone back from LCK! Good for Bailey, I suppose, but I won't be surprised to see her packing her knives in an episode or two. Really, this lands on me as a gimmick -- the producers hoped one of the two 'surprise' chefs would earn their way back in, and shake things up. Instead one of them went out immediately and the other just.....bailed.

I wonder if they thought the quiz was going to work better and when one team just dominated they had to pivot.

After a certain point in the quiz, they took one of the teams out, so the others could score.
