Plantains and pork in Puerto Rico

So, here's why I could not be a chef: I don't want to butcher animals or see the face of what I'm cooking or eating.

Tonight the quickfire challenge was to make fried snacks with plantains, and most of them looked really tasty. Fried smashed slices of plantain topped with spicy sauces, meats and slaws.

Cute little Stefanie won, and she did well in the main challenge, too -- after they each had to butcher a 60-pound pig. But Richard's delicious looking malta-glazed ribs and a pickled-watermelon-rind salad with porky bits won him a new car.

91 percent of the TV voters said Lisa needs to pack it in and take that sourpuss home. But that bitch squeaked by again. Antonia went home.

Is next week the end? I can't wait to see what they make for the "meal of a lifetime."
