Episode 5: This Is Not Glamping

So... who is joining the Chefs from LCK??? Its kind of annoying it took the whole first segment of the episode to get to the returning chef... but I suppose not everyone watches LCK, and saw ALL of that already (except Kwame being ousted :( UGH!).

So the returning chef is... a tie. WHAT!!! LeeAnne AND Claudette are both back in!

No Quickfire this week! Instead the chefs get to go camping in Estes Park! They need to cook a five star meal using Colorado ingredients!

I don't remember it being so snowy last summer... there is a LOT of snow! WOW! Reminded me of a hut trip, not a camping trip- the show should have given them snowshoes. The interviews with Tanya and Fatima are awesomely funny - I love how freaked out everyone is! Go Carrie setting up her tent- Colorado represent!

I am so nervous for Carrie- her plan is SUPER risky! Camping cake in little mugs? I think if she had the dutch oven it would be fine, but the mugs are not going to be easy. Tu is being ballsy cooking rabbit 3 ways, just cooking it well one way is going to be tough in these conditions! We all know you get judged extra when you cook extra- not a smart move, he should just smoke it like he had planned!

Round 1 dishes all turned out well! Fatima and Bruce both did a great job and Carrie's cake was a huge hit! Joesph did alright but overcooked his swab.

Round 2 is also fabulous! Joe and Claudette killed it- LeeAnne's plate was scraped clean! Adrienne had good flavor but she overcooked her quail a little.

Round 3 is a bit of a miss overall. Tanya's dish is confusing and over complicated, Chris' chili was dry- yep DRY Chili, wtf? Tu should have focused on just cooking the rabbit one way, not shocked there and Brother's dish was overcooked and messy. Cooking outside with fire in the cold is NOT easy!

I like that judges table is outside- kinda of fun!!! This was a good challenge- almost everyone stepped up big time!

Bruce, LeeAnne and Carrie are on the top! They all did awesome but Bruce takes the win! FINALLY!

On the bottom are Tanya, Chris and Tu. They each made some pretty big mistakes, but it's Tu packing his knives this week. He is headed into LCK with who? Kwame?

We all had a chef in the top and a chef in the bottom this week! Kinda crazy!

    I loved the boss move by Tom to make it a tie and move both ladies back into the house. I'm sure that had some producers scrambling. Must have been some good food to make it a tie.

    I definitely don't remember all the snow like that. I recognized the store they went to for their gear, but they must have gone up higher for the camp spot. I was impressed they had real camping brand stuff and not Coleman tents and gear from Walmart.

    Tu! We knew he was gone as soon as he said "Duck 3-ways". He doesn't have the skills to do that on the best day and equipment.

    Carrie had us sweating, but then she crushed. So that was awesome.

    Fatima is definitely cracking me up with her interviews. She is really funny.
