Last week: Keven was sent packing for his big mouth bad food lack of control in the front of the house. Or something. I'm still confused.
The chefs head to Morocco where they are greeted by Curtis and Cat (still wondering why we need two hosts who do nothing). The chefs who win the first "Course" challenge win both the exceptional ingredient and 15K. Not bad.
They divide into three random teams. John, AKA the cute guy, is on the black team with Avery and Nookie. The red team is Jenna, Nicole and Liz. The white team is Gary, Nick and Chaz. Even though Gary speaks French, it seems like their team is having the biggest problem finding the spice shop.
When there, they must find nine spices and nothing is labeled. Honestly, this show is STILL so hard to keep track of. It's Amazing Race combined with Top Chef, two other really hard shows to recap. But hey, that's just me complaining.
"Excuse me, but we're in the middle of a transaction."
"Nookie is trying to fat his way to the counter."
They head to a tea shop next and miraculously, the white team gets out first despite being last to arrive. They have to pour mint tea into a bunch of glasses, which seems easy enough, but they have to use the "proper technique." The black team finishes first for the win. The exceptional ingredient is a guide who will basically tell them exactly how to win and walk around the Medina.
Meanwhile, the all-female team is getting harassed by the local men. They are getting hissed a lot. I know how they feel. I went to Spain and they'd whistle at us. It can be scary.
Anyway, they arrive at the restaurant and it's absolutely gorgeous. Too bad the kitchen lacks utensils and towels. Also, the servers don't speak English, which is a problem for everyone but Gary.
Next thing we know, it's a total sabotage pea puree situation (Top Chef, anyone? anyone?) and someone STEALS Avery's beets. Chaz gets defensive and Avery starts freaking out. Apparently, the beets are later located. Crisis averted.
"Get the f*ck out of here with that bullsh*t."
Ouch. The black team is up first and their beans aren't cooked (another classic mistake us people who can't cook but watch these shows notice) and I'm worried that John might get blamed. They make a pact to throw Chaz under the bus. The white team is rushing to plate all their dishes.
"It's disgusting looking."
Pretty much. Yes. The hosts aren't fans either. The white team makes a pact to team up against Avery. This should be interesting. The red team serves last and it seems like they get the best feedback.
On a side note, Nick is looking pretty cute. I'm easily distracted.
When they go into judging, Chaz calls out Avery while the rest of his team smiles on. It's pretty entertaining. The red team wins! Liz wins immunity for being so nice. Oh, and for cooking well.
"Girl power!"
Oh, Curtis. I love you.
When they get into the deliberation room (but really, we need names for these things), Chaz and Avery unload on one another. Nookie plays it smart again by calling out Chad in a subtler way. Those gambling skills come in handy, ya'll. It comes down to a tie, so Liz has to make the decision! Oh sh*t. She chooses Chaz!
Up next, Florence!
SumOlogy: Kinda bummed the Avery/Chaz drama is over so quickly, but whatevs.
Grade: B

What did you think of the episode? Did Chaz deserve to go home?
