Posts: 8713 (11/19/09 1:36 AM) OMEDETO, CATHY!! Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Ya I feel they are editing it as evil bro goes next. Jen makes the finale but is a diaster alas Carla/Casey. Kevin get's Stefan'd (dominating the whole season, then losing). Bryan wins even though he's been rather meh all season (Although he has won 3 elim challenges, but other than that he hasn't won any quickfires or wasn't top 3 much anytime he didn't win). Kevin broke a record tonight for most elim challenge wins at 5, I think? I think Stefanie had the most elim wins of any winner (4, six overall which is the most of anyone who has won) and Hosea, Hung, and Harold all had the least (1).

Posts: 8714 (11/19/09 1:50 AM) OMEDETO, CATHY!! Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Ya that could be right. I think Jen is gonna come back into the finale how she started the show. She'll have time between the F5 episode and F4 (part 1 of the finale) to collect herself and rest up. Thank God they don't film the entire season straight through because I think the chefs are worn out by then. I just looked at the wiki entries and no winner won the most challenges their season: LeAnne (4), Sam (6), Casey (5), Richard (7), Stefan (8), and Kevin has won 9, and there is still 2 more challenges to go. It'd make sense if he lost because this show sure doesn't reward the most consistent.

True on Bryan but I'd be fine if he won. He'd be the only winner in TC histoyry to never be in the botto. Consistency. Although Kevin winning is fine too cause he's grown on me

I was totally confused by the outcome. I really thought Brian was going to win, by the comments of the chefs (other than the judges) that they thought his dish would have been really successful with a little more time and it sounded like it was only an issue with the lamb being a little too rare. They gave him great comments about his skills and the way he spoke about his food. How did he not win? And I thought Michael received the worst critiques and thought he was gone for sure. And I was really happy about it because of his cockiness. Going to bed rather than reviewing the DVDs, his rude comments. He was so cocky and his dish was a complete failure. They only kept him, because they want the two brothers in the final challenge. . So glad that Jen is getting it together again. I loved that she won the quickfire, especially after Michael V's asshole comment that she has nothing to offer anymore (or something to that effect). If Jen doesn't somehow pull out the win that Carla should have last season (if not for doubting herself and listening to that twunt Casey), then Jen at least has to place higher than Michael V. I love how they showed Jen helping everyone else out. She has a very dry and serious personality when competing, but you can see that she is a warm friendly person in the other clips they show after each elimination when she consoles the loser and when she congratulates the winners. She is a hugs & kisses kind of gal, obviously. Also, while watching last night all I could think of was how they obviously booted Robin before this challenge so she wouldn't embarass herself and the Top Chef judges/name. Could you imagine the train wreck she would have been attempting that? And I would have loved to see the judges explain how she was a top 5 chef this season. The guest chefs would have had a good laugh and the show would have been such a joke at that point. This is obviously why they spared Eli over Robin last week, as they felt Eli wouldn't be quite the embarassment that Robin would have been. Lastly, WTF? I thought there was supposed to be a "shocking" elimination where one of the four was going to be eliminated prior to the finale? I was really disappointed.

Kevin will win, despite his "simple" style (WTF does THAT mean, anyway?) Kevin was ACCEPTED at MIT fer chrissakes, before deciding to become a Chef. 'Nuff said. ps in the finale, the two brothers will work together and find a new level of understanding. Look for the whole stupid family to show up and tears all around.

Four of the five chefs all had noticeable issues. It made the winner super obvious if you were just watching the actual meal. So to give it any suspense, at Judges Table they had to find SOMETHING to criticize about Kevin's dish. I also thought, based on the reactions during tasting, that Eli was the obvious loser. They seemed a bit repulsed by his dish actually. Everyone else had execution issues, but the reactions to his made it seem like he was on a totally different level of badness.

Posts: 2281 (11/19/09 8:30 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I don't think they had to find anything to criticize about Kevin; it's already there to see. Kevin's an awesome chef but it seems obvious even to me that his main theme this season is his food isn't as technical or as attractive looking as some of the others. Which is fine because taste is what matters for the most part. The chefs and judges did seem to have a problem with that but again taste won out and Kevin shows promise to learn, being only 26. I'm with those that think Bryan has a chance of winning overall though. He never hit the bottom 3, he's won three times, and contrary to what is stated above, he actually has been in the top 3 a couple of times without winning. Also, his edit in the past two weeks has improved between his child endearingly calling him Bryan, his willingness to help others/respect that simple food is fine when executed well, and his increased likelihood of smiling. But Kevin's still the frontrunner.

Obviously not, because I seem to recall an "extra scene" amidst the commercials back during restaurant wars where they showed a bunch of clips of him being a raging asshole and then it cuts to his confessional where he states that he is soft and fuzzy and has the biggest heart and most compassion of all the cheftestants . He is clearly delusional.

He was supposed to be a rocket scientist or something and became a chef instead. The guy is smart and doesn't make mistakes because he didn't think something through. Before he goes to the competition he is going to have done his homework and research, you can be sure of that.

I bet it was priceless and prickish. I loved him saying, after he clearly misunderstood the purpose of the Quickfire, that he could have made a ballotine as good as Kaysen's. I looked for a smirk to indicate he was kidding, but didn't really see one. I wasn't familiar with the Bocuse d'Or, and Tom has a good explanation of it in his blog. I do hope Kevin shaves before trying out to be our representative on a world stage...
