Somebody Left Their Pork Out

The Hubby exclaimed this during Top Chef finale (part une) last night and it immediately caught my attention and made me start watching (because, as far as I knew, it was Richard and 3 women, so . . .) It was a building episode to next week's big finale, but here are some observations:
-These dweebs had like 6 months to study Puerto Rican food -- they did that, right?
-Richard came thisclose to burning that faux hawk right off in an explosion of flames. That would have been cool.
-Lisa is a continuing study in negativity, yet SOMEHOW survived another week . Sheesh.
-It was Dale who left out Stephanie's pork, all night (yeah baby). And there was a split second when they considered using it (ewwwww).
-And why was Dale even there, you might ask? Well, Spike's back too, hat and all, to help Richard. Nikki and Andrew appeared as well (producers faves, perhaps?)
-Everytime Padma said the name of guest judge Wilo Benet, I expected a dwarf from a Ron Howard movie.
-Pigs are really gross.
-Antonio went home, so I don't have to hear about her daughter any more.
-Lisa stayed, so I have to listen to her whine. God, please, don't let her win!
