What did you think of today's challenge?

I really liked today's challenge because ultimately that is what we will be doing when the winner goes to NYC.

What did you prepare today?

Dover sole on a crab brandade with a beurre blanc and mustard demi topped with haricot verts.

How do you think you did? Is there anything you wish you'd done better?

I think I did well; I am very upset that the judges felt I was too sloppy. I will take what they said, "clean up" and move on.

What was the highlight of the day's events?

The highlight of the day was being told that all three girls had won the challenge. Just goes to show that behind every good man there's a good woman.

Are there any lessons you took away from today?

Listen, be organized, and be clean.

What was the most constructive or interesting piece of feedback you heard from the judges?

Cleanliness.

How do you think you are doing in relation to your fellow competitors?

I feel that I am within the reach of going on to Miami and NYC if I tighten up my technique and skills.

Who do you think is faring the best and why (we recognize this changes from day-to-day)?

Well, looking at the group as a whole I think the girls are really proving themselves.

What do you think your fellow competitors think of you (we recognize this changes from day-to-day)?

They can't rule me out.
