Amber’s elimination was seen coming from a mile away. Let’s move forward and predict now that the final four seems pretty stacked and fair game.
4. Declan Horgan- I can’t believe I have Declan as my elimination prediction, but it makes the most sense. He didn’t do anything overly bad in this specific episode, but I do think Cody is gelling better with Kori and Mary Lou (especially) than Declan is. Declan stood out a lot earlier on, but has since faded into the secondary contenders lot of this season. I think he could very well be safe, but it seems like he’s in the most danger.
3. Cody Candelario- Cody is certainly most improved this season. But because he did take a while to get going earlier this season, I wonder if he’ll just go home as a last resort. Of all four chefs, he took the longest to step up. That could be all the reason Ramsay needs to get rid of him. Also, there was lots of attention given to him being upset by Mary Lou taking Kori and not him on the challenge, which may lower his morale (though it didn’t seem to be a big deal during service). But I think he’s been super consistent as of late, and is doing a great job of communicating with his team and cooking delicious food.
2. Kori Sutton- Kori and Mary Lou are pretty much even right now as for who could take the win. I just don’t think Kori has been getting as much overtly positive content as Mary Lou. That’s the only reason I put her at 2nd, despite thinking she’s very capable of winning, and seems to have the least amount of drama attached to her, especially after Amber tried calling out Mary Lou for her flirtmance with Cody.
1. Mary Lou Davis- Mary Lou continues to impress. She won the challenge, where she made the tough decision of taking Kori over Cody. This shouldn’t come back to bite her, and I think this will bite Cody’s morale more than hers. She is in her own lane and is cruising. She nominated Amber (rightfully so), and didn’t just nominate Cody to appease Amber. She’s playing this game successfully, and is cooking the best she’s ever cooked this season. She’s who I hope wins, and she’s who I think will win.
I think Declan and Cody, while great, are the two who may be on the chopping block. I don’t know if this will be a double elimination or a single elimination. Either way, Kori and Mary Lou will probably come out the other end unscathed. Between Dec and Cody, I think I’ve gotta go with recent consistency over season consistency.
