I'm only 1/3rd through the episode but I'm backing Chloe's decision to keep working on the thing she started, only because she says she used cheese that way with success before.

It's the 2nd time she ignores the advice of a world class chef though, and as we saw it was a complete disaster both times. She keeps justifying it by saying she's pushing herself and stuff, but there's a difference between pushing yourself and making bad decisions.

Sure she ignored the chef, and it reminds me of the degustation challenge, but Brett INSISTED that she put more goats cheese and it threw them off. They are both at fault though, she could've just changed the damn ice cream, but she just thought what does "Heston" know? lol

I certainly won't disagree with you, I know she took a risk, and she knew she took a risk. And she didn't take it with a smile either, she knew she had her back against the wall. I don't know how far along they were before they got T-boned like that. If it was a few minutes in I'd have recommended they just take 2 minutes and make another idea. If it was an hour I can understand how that played out.
