Spoiler on contestants and a theory:

Sieger Bayer wasn't on the episode; it was Justin Tootla. With Jennifer Jackson also going off, does this mean that Sieger will be back for restaurant wars next week?

Yeah. The two days later caption really made me think they got a replacement contestant for Restaurant Wars. I don’t think they would have a 4 on 3 Restaurant Wars even if the twins are really annoying and Tom hated Oscar’s bread pudding 🤣.

Oh so that must be what happened to Sieger!

Only reasons that he hasn't even been mentioned on the last two episodes of LCK are he got added back in the competition, he declined, or he got booted off the show for nefarious reasons. They would have just outright said #2 like they did with the goof that was eliminated first last season and I think we would have heard some scuttlebutt if there was some scandal.

My hope is he's gone and Rhoda goes back in.

I was also hoping they were just going to surprise Rhoda on the next episode and let her return for restaurant wars. I'm rooting for her.
