Actually Carla looks like she just - loves - LIFE! Frankly it's a welcome relief from the anger of Marcel, of the puffery of Mike, or the constant navel gazing of Blaise. Besides the Westminster Dog Show is on and I've got dogs to watch.
So the chefs go on the Jimmy Fallon show and pick from among many of Jimmy's favorite dishes by cell phone shoot out. Carla was hoping to get Chicken Pot Pie. Do you think her trigger finger is quick enough?
Oh yeah, let the Joy Explosion begin....
...just be careful when she starts whipping that hair around. So Carla draws Chicken Pot Pie and she is over the moon. Does the joy stop there?
Hella NO!
No disasters in the kitchen, Dale pisses and moans about not wanting to be anywhere near her, gets all her food out on time
(with a little help from Dale). Which always helps to get to the top three dishes.
Can I say for the record, I thought I was into chicken pot pie.....
...but this woman is into chicken pot pie on a cellular level. I bow down to the Master.
And the Beef Tongue Song?
BRILLIANT!! It's an amazing thing to make all the judges smile and clap at the same time.
The best thing about it was what came after.
Winning the challenge....
...getting to go on Jimmy Fallon's show...and...and.....
...winning a six day trip to Tokyo.
That, my friends, is the joyful face of someone who's had three Elimination wins and three travel prizes. Carla is the last of my original four favorites to take the whole thing. Can she last that long? She's only been in the bottom three once, there's four more episodes and the finale (probably with three finalists) to go. Can she hold on? Or is she peaking at just the right time? I have no idea I just know she's entertaining as hell to watch. GO CARLA GO!!
