Shoot me in the face. We're down to three contestants remaining in Week 8 and it's time for them to put up or shut up. Going in, my ranking was Lisa, Adam, then Aaron. Coming out, it's still the same since the judges didn't have the balls to kick anyone (Aaron!) off.
The first challenge faced by the contestants is to film a 30-second commercial spot, in motion and interacting with other people or objects. Lisa had the coolest role and was filmed playing the part of a wine angel ascending the Aureole's 4-story wine tower. Adam was the one who stole the show in this challenge though, performing on a show stage with a couple of showgirls.On to the main challenge, the three of them have to cook for and present to a bunch of Vegas types - showgirls, cast members, a few drag queens and some chefs from the Wynn Hotel. Long story short, Lisa's presentation was amazing and the food was pretty average, which wasn't great for her. Adam's presentation was so-so, though Susie called it "boring" but his food ("Adam's Las Vegas Smoketacular") was the best overall - his smoked pork chops were chosen as the best dish. Finally Aaron. Poor, pathetic Aaron. I don't even know what to say about his presentation - fake crying, eating disorder, forks in his pocket...lame, lame and more lame. Plus, his food apparently sucked - the best thing he made was crab cakes and it's really not that difficult to make good crab cakes.
So, we get to the final judging phase (you know, where Aaron should have been kicked off?) and the judges can't screw up the courage to put him out of his misery. It's getting painful to watch him - he's a fine enough cook, but a thick tongue does not a good TV star make. If, by a horrible stroke of luck, he wins the competition, I really hope they get that man into speech therapy. In the end, the judges were the ones who lost this week's battle.
