Yes, he didn't cook anything but weren't a lot of the traditional dishes served raw? And anyway, don't you think the fact that Marcel used chemicals to create his dishes rather than cooking technique should have been criticized as well? Elia at least used good technique and I think she was wrongly eliminated. Of course if I had my way I would have a three person final with Marcel out in the cold. I think Ilan looked like a chicken last night. I don't know if he really didn't say anything during Judges Table or that's what the producers wanted us to see but there he is egging on Elia to gripe about Marcel and he doesn't say a thing! I agree with you that the judges cared about behavior before – didn't they question the chefs about their behavior OUTSIDE the kitchen after the head shaving incident? Chef Tom says to Sam is that how you'd behave in the kitchen, and then Gayle says part of what it means to be Top Chef is setting a good example. Being a weasel like Marcel in the kitchen is no good example. I wonder if on the final episode they're going to let Marcel and Ilan get help from former contestants (like they did last season). That was part of Tiffani's downfall, that everyone on the show hated her. No one wanted to work hard so she would win (except Dave and his dessert, that is). Do you really think any of the eliminated contestants would give 100% of their effort to Marcel? I’m really surprised that Sam didn’t make it to the finals.
