To be frank, this episode felt like a letdown.
Aside from Nicole's lovely story (and subsequent win!), I didn't find anything especially exciting about it, from the conceptualization of the challenge to the food itself. We learned a bit about Amar's mom, we saw some really good attitude and team player abilities from Dale, Sara delivered some fun confessionals and Ali was as wholesome as ever, but the overall 75-minute episode was . . . uneventful.
