As others have noted, it seems unfair that Cliff was kicked off the show while Sam, Ilan, and Elia were allowed to egg Cliff on without any repercussions. Apparently Tom Colicchio had the same reaction -- his blog on Bravo's website notes that he wanted all four contestants ousted from the show, leaving Marcel as the default winner. However, he writes that the producers stepped in and refused to permit this kind of total derailment of the show. Thus, to Tom's disappointment, only Cliff was asked to leave, since he was the only one who actually violated Bravo's rules about physical contact. I found Colicchio's perspective on this comforting -- apparently the viewers weren't the only ones completely nauseated by the whole situation.
