Two episodes ago at judges’ table, Danyele McPherson confessed that this reality-based cooking competition isn’t for everyone. Her admission could’ve cost her (instead it was Eliza Gavin who got sent packing). But in the following episode, Danyele did get sent home for a less than flavorful chicken terrine and a blueberry mostarda that the judges deemed not to have enough blueberries. On the phone yesterday, the Dallas chef told me she didn’t think it was that bad and some other dishes might have been worse. But she seemed happy to no longer have cameras constantly in her face. Reality TV isn’t for everyone—and a good thing at that.
