Hey, a Canadian! I want to cheer for him, but his name is Spike? Seriously?

I do like his SPOOL acronym, but "PIG" really? What chef calls pork "pig" but I guess maybe if you're cooking it whole on a spit, but then most people I know call it "hog" rather than "pig". It's not a pretty word. I just remember explaining to my daughter that pork is pig meat, beef is cow, etc. yet for some reason chicken is just chicken. Hmmmm.

It's a bit early, but I think I found my guy to root for. He's no Mikey (S2), but he seems like he could be a fun, laid-back underdog.

I thought the same thing, Lex. He's either out really early, or he could be the Dale of the group.

He's not Canadian, he's Greek. Spike is a nickname. His real name is Evangelos!

LOVE that name "Evangelos"

He wasn't going to be the top chef, but it was too bad he had to go on the same week that he won the quickfire for his butchering skills. I was hoping Lisa was going instead. Oh well. I knew he was doomed when I saw the clip (that was aired during this episode) of Spike, Andrew, Mark and Erik and their band.

I LOVE him! I felt bad that he was in the bottom so much, but from now I will certainly miss the eye candy. He is SEX.

Cocky but he is eye candy indeed!
