Remove this ad I was happy that the young man won last night, he was so stressed and the judges were so kind to him (which was surprising) and then he turned it around. I thought his food was amazing. I was a little worried that backwards baseball cap woman would win because they seemed to prefer her dessert. I loved the young man's reaction when they Chopped her and he realized that he had won. Overall a good episode.

It was clear they were rooting for the guy based on the adversity in his life. Although even had he lost, he gained so much just be the positive feedback from the 3 judges. You can tell he was humbled by receiving compliments from Marcus Samuelson. I have a feeling we may be seeing Chef Kate again on a 2nd chance show.

I also thought it was funny that Amanda and Marc kept complaining about the lack of salt when sodium is one of the things they have to monitor. I was really happy that they did something nice for all the ladies and not the schools. The course at the CIA is probably a dream for them. Finally caught the lunch lady eppy...Amanda tearing up at the end = PRICELESS.

Remove this ad Tonight was a perfect example of the bias this show has against female chefs. They didn't have one good thing to say about the bald guy's appetizer and they still put him through over a woman who left one item off. A sin they have overlooked several times before for men. Also, with a first course that bad, he should never have won over the woman in the finale. If her dessert was bad I could see it, but her three courses overall were more consistent and had fewer flaws.

Also the ingredients are getting weirder and weirder. I'm surprised even as good as these chefs are that they can make anything edible out of some of the ingredients. I think most of the judges are total asses but I am glad they have to eat the food even when it's not good. But I fast forward through their critiques, I couldn't care less what they have to say about the dishes, I just want to see what the contestants come up with since they are given such insane ingredients.

I assume that the 4th plate is the display plate (and the one that gets to be chopped). I've also noticed that when only 3 plates are finished they don't use the unfinished one for the display, so maybe there's a stipulation that you have to give the judges your worst plates. I found that annoying, when they have three edible plates because then I have to hear the judges ramble on about "it LOOKS good but I only got broccoli raab mash." Chopped restored my faith in tv. It's great tv, very to the point, and I love its agendas (personal chefs are chefs, too!). The champions tournament was awesome (love the F2 even though I was rooting for the runner up and I thought editing was going that way). I was less happy with the All-Stars tournament (thought the judges and the food network hosts outclassed the others - though I guess it didn't matter because they lost [although maybe they didn't want to give the win to Arron because it would look bad]). However, it made me like AB a lot, even though I know she's annoying. Thought Duff was a good sport. Also, I got this vibe that the judges were kinda cliquey and that's why Maneet went first (or at least why nobody felt bad about it). I usually stick around for Sweet Genius because it's similar to this show in structure (though I hate the one judge format).
