Gail has one word to describe their next challenge: Chocolate. The twist is that they must divide into teams (that's not the twist, that's all they ever do on this show) and serve the chocolate to each other. Katzie is nervous, also paranoid, because everyone hates her. Or at least she thinks everyone hates her, which has the same result. The teams must each create a showpiece as well as their actual edible desserts. What is the obsession with showpieces on this show? I mean, they are eye-catching, but you can't eat it, so who cares? I feel the same way about computer products. Edible is best, right? The teams are divided into Carlos, Sally and Orlando versus Chris, Matthew and Katzie, which are too evenly matched to be random in any way. Chris and Orlando are going head to head (again) over showpieces and Orlando is pretty confident that his chocolate skills can beat Chris. I feel like the producers are trying to make us really aware that Orlando is black because they keep referring to him as Mr. Chocolate and getting him to say things like "I like my chocolate the way I like my men ...tall," but, dude, we know. It's not like we're listening to this show on the radio. We are aware that he is both black and an excellent chocolate sculptor. And it's not like they are making Chris use only white chocolate in his design. Chocolate sees no color! The Top Chef dining room (which I don't think is sponsored by any corporate entity at all, which is a real missed opportunity William Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, and, ...er other table makers. Shakers?) has been divided into two rooms so the teams can't see what the other team is doing. I can tell YOU though: They are making chocolate centerpieces. Shhhh don't tell.
