Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	There is no reason for them to hype up another female winner, when there was one last season. If you noticed, last night Carla mentioned being the first female winner. I still think it's Stefans, but I can hope.

Had he won (as he should have), it would have been the best season. Hey, I assume that the fact that the folks they served at the party on last night's show were familiar with Carla's "Hooty -- Hoo" schtick indicates that these final episodes were filmed after at least many of the earlier episodes had already aired. If not, how would they know about "Hooty"?! Therefore, many (if not all) of the earlier episodes had been edited WITHOUT KNOWING WHO WINS. Therefore, all the speculation about foreshadowing in the edits may be true about who made the finals, but not who actually wins the prize. Right?

If he gets a redemption a la "Being in the bottom two taught me that I do need to try" he'll win. If he remains cocky he won't.

I think the episode last night and the second part of the finale were filmed just last month.

Still, I wouldn't recommend that Dire (or anyone new to the show) run out and watch that one next. It was an uncomfortable season to watch imo. Season one is the best. I think this season may be my second fave, as long as Hosea doesn't win.

Posts: 4395 (02/19/09 2:30 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think that, other than the childish bullying, the competition of Season 2 was really exciting. There were a lot of contenders, in addition to Marcel and (blech) Ilan - Sam, Cliff, Elia to name three - and the food seemed to be the most interesting that year. Season 1, I thought that Harold was pre-ordained (even though I liked Leanne way more). Season 3 was like watching paint dry, and Hung >>>>>>>>>>>> everybody else. I thought Season 4 was pretty good, but I'm not a fan of Lisa's food (despite her GORGEOUS appearance), so her tenure as a bottom-dwelling goddess was very tiresome to me.

That season was awful, and probably one of the least talented crop of contestants. I love how you had these supposed "high end dining chefs" (Emily, Carlos) get cut early (Emily for being a high end chef, oversalting a surf and turf) You also had a pastry chef (Marisa), who sucked at making....desert. lol at Betty making it to the final 7. She won for making....grilled cheese, and a cucumber drink? Ilan-most one note cook...far more than Radhika, Fabio, Lisa. I also find it amusing that the two dishes that I actually remember him doing, was the disgusting chocolate liver crap in the quickfire, and the soggy funnelcakes (Love how you try to blame the soggy funnelcakes on Elia, rolls eyes). Michael? um, yeah. Frank for all his bashing on Michael kind of sucked too. He couldn't make rice, made this wierd mushrooms on crack dish. Sam-kind of overrated. I noticed how several of dishes...he never really actually cooked them (in terms of heat). The fruit salad, dishes in the final 4 challenge. He also used scallops quite a bit as well.

And why was the fact that he didn't make his own sausage brought up? People have been eliminated in past seasons for that one simple fact. Not to mention that they seemed to universally agree that his food sucked for this challenge. Glad to see Fabio go. As he said himself ... he's a good cook and a great host. Too bad it's Top Chef, not Top Host.

Carla could have done many things with the directive to make peas. She could have made a tortelloni, a sauce … it was nice to see her prepare her elements very simply and let them shine. By far, this is the best that not only she but all of the chefs cooked this season." Quite nice praise there indeed. Too bad that's not "accomplished" enough. And yet, even though he says "it was the best that only she but all the chefs cooked this season", somehow Fabio still won the challenge. Hmmm. What's wrong with that picture? No, I think that Mr. Collichio is re-writing history after the fact... I read that comment as praise on all of the Chefs that cooked that night, not just Carla.

They were so threatened by his COOKING, though, that they were almost as obsessed as Hosea is about Stefan. Therefore, they couldn't just ignore him...

It bothered them that he just breezed through the challenges with his somewhat surfer-dude way of speaking. Once a couple of them started hating on him, little by little the rest joined in on the unwarranted hate (mob mentality). Marcel wasn't bad mouthing them and giving them a hard time and, considering the hell the so-called MATURE (older) chefs put Marcel through, Marcel did a great job keeping his cool, which obviously incensed the mob more that they weren't getting to Marcel. Marcel was robbed. At least his best bud Hung came in right after them and owned in his season. Marcel & Hung <3<3<3 Last Edited By: PinotEnvy 02/19/09 3:19 PM. Edited 1 times.
