I think the diner with the blue shirt was given his moment to speak and he spoke very loudly. They were all entitled to their opinion. I thought it was funny how many times they all joked about the word "bland". The guy that didn't like La Folie said it several times over. I thought that the british gentleman showed he did not have to shout over the other guest to get his point across. I just had a chance to view the show and I disagree with David.

Nearly every time I watch this show one person is picked on and savaged by the more snobby people on the show. In this particular episode the pompous British-accented jerk was not respecting the opinion of one of the other dinners. The host was only marginally respectful as she allowed the British-accented person to completely disrespect one of the other diners to the point where he could barely voice his opinion. Also, the average tab at La Folie has to be way more than $74 per person. Unless you can order one or two dishes the 3 course menu is the cheapest thing on the menu and costs $70 before tax and tip.
