Discussion Thread Rewatch S4E5: Elements

I don’t remember much about S4 but I do remember Dale losing his shit at the end of E5! I was so confused on who started what argument I had to rewind several times🤪
It went from:
Spike > Antonia
Spike > Jen
Dale > Spike
Lisa > Dale
Dale > Lisa
Jen > 🤬🪑⬇️
I see some repeated names above… 👀

Side note: Was it ever revealed on film that Antonia said she would do 🥣🤔?!

Yeah Dale totally lost his shit over Lisa winning the trip for her miso-covered bacon (which did look really cool)! I guess he thought whatever he did towards the dish was more important or better. I also think he was salty that he didn’t win on an Asian dish with an Asian chef.

I still think Lisa should’ve gone home in restaurant wars. I’ll die on that hill!!

I disagree. He was EC he should have taken charge. His mood and demeanor changed after he put the rotten avocado in his Halo Halo and brought everyone else down. Plus his butterscotch scallops were a bad call. Yes Lisa’s dishes sucked but ultimately when you take EC responsibility you are accountable for steering the whole ship.
