Great Fabio-speak in that video, thanks for posting it.
Loved this one, "When you get over-confident, you get your ass kicked, with your own shoes" (I tried to type in Fabio-speak, but couldn't manage it. Cousin Oliver, you are a god!) |

Stefan will have to dig his ingredients out of a dumpster, shit on his food, then roll it in the dirt, and spit on it right before serving for Tom not to give
him the win.

Stefan should have gone last night. In fact, Stefan and as much as I adore him, Fabio should have gone.
I don't know what trick Hosea pulled out of his ass, but I really don't think he has a chance. Carla FTW! And there were moments last night, where I could see a former model. |

Fellow sucksters - I apologize in advance my my rantings. Usually I prefer flaming to praising, but in this case I just could not help it!
Fabio, Fabio, whereforartthou, Fabio? Deny thy judges, for their decision was lame You are my Top Chef and I cheer your name! Yea, I know, I am pathetic. Lo, over all these weeks Fabio entertained my eyes, ears, and taste buds! I <3 Fabio, and figured I ode it to him! Jeff - aw my sweet silent Jeff. I was disturbed when they brought 3 chefs back for a second chance, but when I saw one of them was you, I was filled with anxious anticipation. When you won your challenge I was elated - my 4 faves, Fabio, Carla, Jeff and Stefan in one big bowl of yummy gumbo. Alas, Bravo and their unholy trinity of judges dangled you in front of us for a few lovely moments and then snatched you away again. Best wishes my sweet Jeffrey! Carl or Stefan FTW - precious Carla and cocky, but disarming Stefan - please one of you win this thing so I have not wasted all these weeks of my life. Hosea - kudos to your making the final 3. I am sure Leah, your girlfriend, your family and friends are proud of you. I am sorry your dad is ill and wish him well. That said, I hope your food tastes like boogers with dookey for the final challenge. I can preface that remark - I teach preschool and have for 25 years - so I am quite familiar with boogies and dookie! Fabio is sure to soon grace our television screens with his own show in the future - would love to see him and Stefan together - call it The Euro Bureau! Carla - you go girl - FTW! |

oops ! Forgot to ad one more thing- Stefan looked hot last night. Fabio, being a chef for Captain Kirk, and a hot one at that - how friggin beyond cool! - and
Carla, angel girl just hooty hoo your way to the top- remember what Fabio said as he opened the door for all of the chefs during one episode - "ladies
first". Oh dear, I am praising and loving on these guys again - to borrow a quote from one of my favorite movies " I guess my hypocrisy knows no
bounds".

Agreed. Not that Stefan isn't a great chef and couldn't pull all out the stops for the finale, but Stefan loses over Tom's dead body. I still think of the look on Tom's face when the Brit judge was making the case for Leah on last week's episode. |

I love his hard work & happiness with life. People like him, who work their way from the bottom and make their dreams come true should be an inspiration for all. I respect people like him over people who get things handed to them and then shit on them. I wish all good things for Fabio in the future. I'll be keeping an eye out for his cookbook and his show (sure hope he gets one) and if I am ever in his area, I will definitely check out his restaurant. |

I need Carla to win this. Hosea and Stefan's little pissing contest and fixation with each other is annoying now. It looks like the season was a setup for
Stefan v. Hosea but I really couldn't take it if either one won (Stefan's ok except when he's fixated on Hosea).

These guys had a long production gap between NYC and NOLA in which to prepare. They probably all read Cajun/Creole cookbooks to prep for being in NOLA, but
that didn't mean you'd understand the food. So Stefan couldn't make a beignet or a gumbo as well as a pair of Americans. Not surprising. He made
them the way a European would. As Emeril said, the flavors were there, but he didn't cook the roux long enough. And as Tom said, you need to cook the
roux well past the point you think is right.
But for a no-rules cookoff, Stefan has an advantage because he won't have to adapt to anyone else's rules. Of the three, who do I think has made the most amazing food and can call up those recipes for this finale? In order, I think it's Stefan, Carla, then Hosea. Hosea's a seafood guy, and I don't think he can get away with three seafood courses. Carla's penchant for simplicity won't wow the judges. Stefan wins. But regardless, I don't think this season was as impressive in terms of food. I would love to eat a meal prepared by Hung, or Casey, or Stephanie, or Blaise. These three, not so much. |

They gotta have a Top Chef where all the judging is blind. But then, the judges ripping new ones in the contestants is the best part of the show. Maybe have a
panel of six judges, with four being blinded and determining the winner/loser, and two giving evaluations to the Chefs, but whose vote doesn't count.

Carla gets car + Fabio as fan favorite + Stefan kicks Hosea's whiny jealous ass roundly in F2 = best season ever by a mile.

I just got Bravo on my cable system and just finished watching the marathon of this season. I'd never seen the show before.
This is the first reality show I've seen which has contestants who are already professionals in their own rights, competing at the highest level. Shows like Design Star on HGTV is peppered with the big-boobed homemakers who "always liked design, y'all" and even FoodTV's Challenges, which are supposed to be professionals competing, have "personalities" like the Cake Diva who are self-taught with chips on their shoulders. This is a cast of people who are dedicated to being the best in their field. I am so sick of reality shows which appeal to the, "even you at home could do this if you just try!" It's insulting to people who have schooled, studied and learned. And I love that they're judged on the meal they prepare for that challenge only. We all know you can cook, but what did you cook TODAY? The contestants actually support each other rather than sabotaging in the name of a game. It's so grown up. Love this show... and go Stefan, you arrogant asshole. |
