From reading the blogs, it sounds like this is the cheftestants most feared episode.

I suppose production costs make it impossible to get an extra half hour of footage for these complicated episodes. You would think that with Bravo's format of repeating everything every week, you could easily adjust the occasional episode to take a bit more or less time. Especially as the competition increases. Oh well.

Hey has anybody heard anything about any holiday specials this year with former cheftestants reurning to cook?

I am guessing that we will see Robin finally exit, or perhaps Laurine. I am not sure who the 'proprieters' are this week as I deliberately do not watch the 'coming next week' portion. How about pitting the two brothers against one another
