Gone Fishin'

Moving on to the ladies, Antonia starts explaining her concept, but Colicchio interrupts her to say that if she had been on a different team, Antonia would be going to Amsterdam right now, because her dish was awesome. Former stoner Antonia is crestfallen that she lost out on an opportunity to legally smoke some weed. Jamie explains that she saw the watermelon and cucumber at the market and wanted to make something light to go with her lightly flavored fish. Tom wonders if she needed to add water to the cucumber (in other words, he doesn't think so). Gail points out that the entire dish was washed out and flavorless. Moving on to Tiffani, the judges tell her that she screwed up by leaving in the bloodline. It's not clear if Tiffani didn't know that, or knew but did it purposely, or what. Gail and Padma want to know if Antonia thinks she could have helped her teammates more, and Antonia starts crying. She says that she doesn't want to see either of her teammates go home. Padma reminds them all that two of them will be going home, and dismisses them.

Back in the Stew Room, Mike says that Marcel or Blais could go home, since their dish was their idea. The losers walk back in, and Blais says that it wasn't clear what the judges will do, and they clearly weren't unanimous.

So what do the judges think? Well, they all agree that the biggest problem with Tiffani's dish was leaving the bloodline in, and the fishy taste was too strong. Jamie's dish was bland, and Gail says that the broth was really the problem. Padma thinks the problem with Richard, Marcel, and Fabio is that one of them needed to step up and say that there was too much on the plate. Kerry points out that if Fabio spent all that time chopping, he probably didn't contribute much to the concept or cooking of the dish. Gail wonders if Blais and Marcel should be penalized for making a dish with too many components. Blais made the gastrique, which Gail hated. Marcel made the foam, which was a foam, and thus not really appropriate for the casual setting. Back in the Stew Room, Jamie tells Carla that the guys' team did a "composed restaurant dish," and Carla agrees that one person from that team needs to go home.
