Tre gloats about being from Texas and knowing BBQ so well that he&#8217;ll easily take the top spot&#8230;the first taste of foreshadowing from our friends at Bravo.  Clips of Lisa showcase her lack of confidence in her ability as a chef and in her food in this episode which makes me think she&#8217;s going to be the next to go&#8230;she goes on to be in the top 3 of the BBQ challenge.  They tricked me.  Tre&#8217;s peach BBQ salmon is not a success.  Tricked again.  Brian wins the BBQ challenge with seafood sausage and Sandee&#8217;s not-so-barbequed lobster puts her on the bus back home.  I still think Hung is one of the best chefs, but his attitude is horribly irritating and he is completely inconsiderate.  I find out from my cousin that he&#8217;s friends with Marcel from season 2.
