"Carla was not prepared and in over her head. The show did not talk about how the first course (crab) took her half of the friggin’ cooking time that day, I was left to work the rest of HER dishes."
"She also did not have a plan. The ONLY thing she had in mind was a cheese course! I would NEVER do a cheese course. And where in the hell did french come from!? She is not even classically trained! It (the show) didn’t talk about how I worked on a sauce for 2 days and Carla forgot to put it on the plate… It didn’t show how the 2nd course (fish) was MINE. It didn’t show how she took the sous vide idea and decided to GRILL it last minute causing it to be tough… And it didn’t show how she WANTED to do the souffles which she does not even know how to make! That was HER food, because it certainly was me asking her how she wanted to do this and that while she was busy picking crab the entire time and making a souffle that didn’t rise!"
"I am done with TC. I did not influence her. She has NO ideas of her own, oh, except a cheese course."
Beyond shocked and no excuse for it. Did she make a preemptive strike expecting to get blamed? Then Carla showed up first saying 'don't blame Casey?' ak.
ReplyDeleteCasey is on my s*** list!
ReplyDeleteOh honey, I loathe saying this, but maybe Casey should have followed Marcel's lead and just have been a sous chef. Marcel, in his interview, disagreed with Stefan's freezing of the fish, but he knew that it was Stefan's choice to make.
ReplyDeleteThat said, Carla was the one who let Casey's ideas influence her, and she did/does take full responsibility for it.
Both Carla and Casey (and the audience) know the show is heavily edited, so the vitriol that comes out of Casey's mouth is kind of surprising. She could have handled it so much better.
That is so WRONG! Carla is a wonderful soul, and I would have loved it if she won. But she didn't, despite all of Casey's "help". If Casey had even 1/2 the class of Carla she would have kept her mouth shut.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting behavior on Casey's part. I liked her before this, but no more.
ReplyDeleteCasey must have been shocked to learn the show is now edited. After all, how would she have a clue about that? Oh yeah, she was on it for a full season before completely choking and blowing it on the finale. Stupid bitch.
ReplyDeleteWe DID see with our own eyes a few of her suggestions and the two of them talking it over. We DID see the two guys with 1st and 2cd choice bypass her. We DID see Hooty welcome her with open arms and say she hoped she'd get her. We DID see her recommend the souffle that didn't work.
ReplyDeleteHooty refused to serve one of the very things Casey had recommended and served the other admitting she didn't have experience with it and still took the heat.
In the final tally, yes Hooty was responsible but she really did draw a backstabber and I wondered if that was Casey's plan from the beginning.
I really like Lola's take on this.
Re: Berry Blog
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment. Stefan has said in an exit interview ( I think) that he chose Marcel because he could see that Carla was scared of ending up with him. And Stefan did seem to put Marcel in his place, so to speak, during the final challenge.
I can't imagine how Carla would have handled Marcel (although I think Richard would have played nice with her), but I find it is common for women put in leadership positions to want to collaborate more than guys do. Carla needed to just take the reigns and let fortune fall where it may.
And don't ever, ever, diss having a cheese course....
Carla sends out positive energy everywhere she goes. She wouldn't diss Casey or anyone else.
ReplyDeleteCarla is a class act.
It makes me wonder if Casey realizes that she's outing herself as a giant bitch and making everyone love Carla that much more.
ReplyDeleteHootie Hoo and Peace, bitches!
What the heck does Casey mean that Carla "is not even classically trained! ".
ReplyDeleteCarla went to culinary school at L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda. As someone who has taken recreational classes there, it is very reputable school that has been around for 30 years. This is the same school whose culinary students were invited to the White House kitchen last week.
Casey's comments are ridiculous and unprofessional.
Casey was a stank ho last year and she is still a stank ho! Just goes to show that a loser is always a loser! Maybe she and Leah can get jobs together at their favorite Japanese restaurant: "Stankhohana's!"
ReplyDeleteOMG! Casey is a stank bitch. I can't believe she said this crap! Carla should grab the Mac Book Casey won on TC and smack her in the head with it. But Carla wouldn't because she has class- something that Casey knows nothing about. You're a horrid mean girl Casey Thompson!
ReplyDeleteLOL Miss Ginger!
No class at all! Casey said all these things about Carla's training and choices that are just wrong!
ReplyDelete"Stankhohana's!" Love it!! Perfect, Miss Ginger!
DC Native has it right. My hubby graduated from the same culinary school (ranked as one of the top 10 in the US, last time I checked) and I can attest to the classical training. She knows her sh*t the way only someone who's been trained by legions of screaming French guys can.
ReplyDeleteAs for Casey, she blew it when she was in the finals and chose to help blow it for Carla. This interview says it all in terms of who has any class or decency.
To be honest, this finale is making me question whether I'll even watch the show next season. I am disgusted with the outcome on all fronts.
Why Casey? Why?
ReplyDeleteDon't pick on The Love!
Don't be a HootieHoo Basher!
By the way: You're still a loser.
Pfft! If I remember correctly, Casey is not even as "classically trained" as Carla is. In her season, she referred to being self-taught or having learned by experience quite often. Learn to keep your trap shut, bitch!
ReplyDeleteCasey is a big ass bitcholla....
ReplyDeleteOh My goodness! I may have to borrow this from you dear David. This makes me so mad I could spit. Don't let me see her around. No Class indeed!!
