Oh, SNAP! Top Chef Sends NO ONE Home!

In a complete surprise to the cheftestants and viewers (including me), Top Chef sends NO ONE home tonight and instead opts to allow the restaurants to fix their mistakes and open again for a second head-to-head challenge.
Best. Move. Ever.
I really thought Brian was going to go home…and I’m glad he didn’t. He’s a really talented chef and really, are you kidding me? He should NOT have been front of the house! Dale, on the other hand, was killed for bad taste in scented candles and black tablecloths. I actually thought the tablecloths looked cool (especially for a place called “the garage”), but I whole-hearted agree with the scented candles. Really, what were they thinking. That’s food 101.
So who will go home next week (which, in the chef’s time, means “tomorrow”)? I think it will be Howie, Tre, or Sara, unless they can really, really improve.
What did you guys think of tonight’s epi? Was calling it a tie a good decision or should someone have gone home?
And where would YOU rather eat?

I really loved this episode. Restaurant Wars is a true test of any chef, and having been a waitress for years but not knowing how to cook a sirloin steak, I can respect the vast differences under one business.
As for the teams, I’m still impressed that nobody really killed each other. However, last night’s tie made it clear that you need to fight for yourself, because being a team player got nobody nowhere. Both teams clearly need to improve their food, and as chefs, why was that the main problem for both teams?
