As soon as he said that I knew he was on his way out. I thought that he was eliminated because he embarrased the owner.
Spike said in an interview afterwards that actually, he was ruder in the exchange than they showed on TV. And, of course, it could be that the executive chef was away, doing the previous day's Top Chef filming, when those scallops were delivered. I thought it was pretty dumb of Spike to continue to use them, even after he realized they were frozen and would be a disaster.

But he wasn't my favorite, anyway.
