Top Chef Seattle

Did anybody notice the "save your favorite chef" vote between Josie and CJ? Cj had more than 90% of the votes. LOL

Was so mad to see Josie throw Kristen under the bus. It seems like this season it's better to be a mediocre chef that makes lots of mistakes than a great chef who makes one. As much as I do like the people left, and they are good chefs, it seems all the best chefs have already been sent off.

I've been watching Last Chance kitchen too just to make sure at least one of my favorites will come back.

Yes, that was quite amusing.

I never have agreed with the competition shows like this where you start building up a reputation for good food, and someone else keeps skirting by, then you have one bad week and you're out! I think it should be a cumulative thing. No way Josie should've lasted as long as she did!

[mainemajor]

I'm surprized Josie got even that many votes. Sooner or later bacon boy will not be able to use bacon/pork. How/what will he cook then???? Just asking. Surprized non of the judges have mentioned this yet.

Does anyone know when LCK winner will be back in the Top Chef Kitchen?

I am with you on this. I really enjoy Top Chef but there have been too many times when a great chef gets dumped for one mistake while a consistently mediocre chef survives.

They are saying the winner of Last Chance Kitchen will be in the finale. What I am wondering is when the chef that the viewers has "saved" comes back in to the game. Will they be challenging the Last Chance Kitchen winner or actually going back on the show?

I was wondering that myself. I'm guessing that they get a second chance in Last Chance Kitchen. Totally a guess.

[PirateLover]

mainemajor, I'm with you. I'm so over bacon boy and his little mustache. He is very condescending towards others but he can't make anything without bacon! I love bacon as much as anyone, of course it makes everything taste better.Cook without bacon, man!

Josh doesn't bother me. Really, no one has this season, of course with the exception of Josie.

I'm in for Brooke for the win. Time for another woman to win!

Brooke has my vote too, though I really like Sheldon too! I was so very, very happy to lose Josie. She's awful!

[Melanie]

I like Sheldon too!

[TheDuckRocks]

I am not going to say who I want to win as he will be shown the at once, but it's not the bacon king.

[PirateLover]

Josh doesn't annoy me nearly as much as Josie did, I just think he is too full of himself. I also like Brooke for the win.

[mainemajor]

Josh doesn't annoy me as much as the fact he always uses pork/bacon. It's not uncommon for chefs to use what they do at their regular restaurants, but in past years the judges have always commented about it in one way or another. Surprised by the lack luster effort & quality of food put out by Stephan this year. On his first season he was full of himself and backed it up with great cooking. Not the case this year.

[Niecyboo]

And the winner of Last Chance Kitchen is......not going to be announced until next week's show. Can't wait to see who made it.

[TheDuckRocks]

I am very pleased with the final two. I'm pretty sure Brooke will win, although I really like Sheldon. I'm not a big fan of the Last Chance Kitchen element and no matter who is brought back I'll be cheering on the other two.

[PirateLover]

I am also not a big fan of last chance kitchen, but if it's Kristen, I think of all the ones eliminated she showed the most promise and had a lot of unique dishes and skills that others didn't.

I also like both Sheldon and Brooke, but I'm glad that Josh is gone. The whole baby story was starting to play to my heartstrings a bit, and I was prepared for him to come out and kill it... then he served a dish that he ADMITTED takes DAYS to prepare correctly. To me, that is not taking a risk, that is plain ol' stupid! And that's pretty much how the judges felt.

There was really no drama in that decision. They had a perfectly cooked dish from Brooke that got raves (Only Wolfgang's seemed overdone), an over salted dish from Sheldon (whose dish was otherwise cooked perfectly), or a dish that failed because it had an element that was made incorrectly from start to finish. Had Josh left that torchon off the plate, Sheldon would've went home for the salt.

[Melanie]

In the end, I found myself pulling for Brooke, but not disappointed at all with Kristin's win.

The finale was cool, with the audience and all the past winners there. Talk about pressure! I didn't like how though, by paying attention to the time left in the show, it was obvious Kristin was winning.

DD and I agree 100%. Keep the live venue, lose the scoring system.

[Melanie]

Oh, and perhaps another foreshadowing on the winner - getting a little recap on Brooke and Kristin's 'road to the finale'. Brooke already had her's on her home visit, as well as Sheldon, but since neither of them won.....
