We all find that Paul H is wearing a bit thin these days, and that Prue is a bit of a stickler - but she is a great cook too.
Oh! I saw that episode. The lady contestant took out the male contestant's baked Alaska mixture from the freezer and didn't put it back. Subsequently, he lost the challenge and was sent home. The next week, she was no longer a contestant either. I've also read that in the unedited version, it was something else entirely that caused his demise, but they edited it to minimize the ordeal. Who knows?

The show doesn't rely on scandals and back biting and I appreciate that. That was just an odd happening.
