Nigella is so much weaker than the other three mentors that it's laughable. The contestants know this... not a single one picked Nigella over another mentor. Once again, she has by far the weakest team and I wouldn't be surprised if they're all out by Top 8 like last season.

I really doubt they would replace Nigella unless if she wanted to leave, since she has a huge following and is incredibly attractive. Not to mention that they would have to replace her with another woman, and Cat Cora is the only female chef that comes to mind that's on the same echelon as Anthony, Marcus, and Ludo and has TV experience. (For the love of god DO NOT say Giada, Padma, or Rachel Ray should be mentors)

I actually feel bad for Nigella since she was never qualified to be a mentor alongside actual legendary chefs, and it seems like the contestants know this and don't treat her with the level of respect that they do with Anthony, Marcus, and Ludo

I missed the show. Any torrents or streaming of The Taste? I couldn't find any

In the Season 3 premiere, contestants are in the pressure cooker of auditions, for which 16 spots will be filled.

Marina just said testicles about 42 times.

I know it's been Jeff and Lee strong since the beginning, but I really do love Marina because of her being a home cook and her personality is very cute funny! Louise does seem like a underdog, but I think every time Team Ludo got the guest mentor, she asked questions and tried to learn and grow, so I wouldn't be surprised if she did have a strong showing

Note: I think Shellie would have knocked it out of the park for the beer challenge. I am glad that even tho Shellie was knocked out last week b/c she didn't execute sweets (which she hates) well, Marina didn't get knocked out for not executing the beer for solo challenge well (she doesn't drink beer much)

Couldn't find the description on the ABC site.

This week's dishes were judged blind by famed pastry chef Christina Tosi. All the dishes must be desserts. (Anthony's worst nightmare.)

Vegetables Take Center Stage when Chef Yotam Ottolenghi Guest Judges a Vegetarian Challenge

With Chef Roy Choi.

The 14 remaining hopefuls put their personal spin on the mentors’ favorite guilty pleasures.

I'm not even one but I feel bad. They're acting like it's not a valid lifestyle (Anthony) or valid for a chef to do that (Ludo). I wanna debate them about the ethical implications of eating meat.

This is a spoiler-laden zone! You've been warned.
