This week marks the return of Slashfood's exclusive exit interviews with the latest Top Chef contestant to get the boot. In an effort to prevent spoilers, we've included the text after the jump.

The above statement -- as spoken by our favorite frizz-haired sass-factory, Andrea -- may indeed be true. But there sure as hell is a lot of whining at the stoves lately.

If it's not Angelo breathlessly "stressing" over how he can't rest on his laurels -- another Quickfire Challenge won, another $20 grand to go with it -- it's Kelly complaining about Amanda's skills. It's Amanda bitching about Kelly not loaning her some salt (spoiler alert: her dish ends up under-seasoned!). It's the once-and-still-potentially-formidable Kenny feeling like a bit of a martyr for having been placed on the bottom rung, a couple of challenges now.

And of course, it's Droopy Dog Ed, freaking the hell out over a suspiciously missing side. The Case of the Disappearing English Pea Puree has been plugged all week by our friends at Bravo, and damn it if we weren't waiting with baited breath to see if one of our most hated villains this season (there are so many, it's hard to choose) was truly to blame.
