I love me some Spike. He is just such a lovable douche.
*And yeah, I was watching for the opening monologue theory too..and it held!
I was all 'please don't let it be Spike'
I love how Spike totally bought those 4 things to fuck the others over, and then totally lied to Tom at judge's table. "I was not sabotaging, those are the ingredients I really wanted to use'..
such and outright lie-I loved that he lied right to Tom!
All three at the bottom were just so snippy and pissy to the judges..again I loved it.
I really hope Lisa and her perpetual bitchface go next.
next episode is
restaurant wars 
with teams:
Spike, Lisa, Dale(Spike FOH)
Antonia, Richard, Stephanie (Steph FOH)
well we just know which team is gonna lose that one..and PLEASE let it be Lisa to go..(I hope FOH saves Spike's ass..all you need is to not fuck up too bad and make ONE good dish.)
*Any ideas for restaurant names for those groups? might as well call them 'Winners Grill' and 'Losers Lounge'
*******I Loved also the little band that Spike, Andrew, and Mark formed. Dammit I only saw the promo once and missed the name..anyone remember it?
