This episode was amusing and brought back memories of starving college student days. The chefs did amazingly well wtih unfamiliar surroundings and appliances. Tim Love was admirable by overcoming the frozen food problem. That's what happens with fancy appliances; you can't tell the refrigerator from the freezer. Now I know why the judges were kind of harsh. It was no wonder the students liked everything. They're just grateful for a free meal. I was expecting the chefs to be just as patronizing to the students as they were (with exception of Keller) to the girlscouts. Maybe they learned a lesson. The chefs were impressive and I wish I could've tried the dorm room food. Take it from someone who's specialty in college was pasta alfredo made in a hotpot. You make it work.

I love the fact that we the judges are giving the respect these chefs deserve. I don't think it is necessary to be insulting. These are world class Chefs playing for charities. I think the show is great!!

"When Kelly, Gael, Jay, and I sat down for that first meal, we had no inkling of the conditions under which the food was being cooked—we thought it had been cooked in a regular kitchen."

Wait... huh? Kelly had to know, didn't she? She announced the challenge to the contestants.

(I'm also unimpressed with the amazement over Keller's shower technique. In the first place, OK, it was inventive--but not THAT much of a stretch. In the second, dorm showers are gross and not someplace I'd want my food to get anywhere near.)

First of all the pasta in the shower was a flashback to an old
Seinfeld episode, but all of thejudges just seemed astounded that the shower was used. Overall I found the judges spent too much time fawning over how well the chefs did in tough circumstances. That is why we all watch TC. I want to see some tough judging and not a show of primadonnas.
