Top Chef - New York

. . . . My opinion of Stefan did a 180 when he was so genuinely sweet to Carla. I wish he had beat Hosea. Hosea didn't do anything extraordinary during the entire competition. Stefan won so many challenges. I love this show, but I am very disappointed by this outcome.

As much as they made us try to hate Stefan (until showing this human side to him on the final episode), it was not enough to make me want Hosea to defeat him. I think Hosea was a forgettable chef.

Our main reason for loving Carla was that she created no animosity with any of the other contestants. She was obviously loving every minute of her participation. Too bad her final meal turned out the way it did.

Here's a bright spot, Fabio should at least win the fan favorite I bet!!!

I really hope so. Does he still have the Mohawk? That was a super sexy look for him! It added to his hotness. LOL!

I was diappointed with Hosea winning! I love Carla. Can't wait to see that bubbly personality tonight.

Has anyone got to see the reunion show ?

It was diffrent to see the outtakes and behind the scenes stuff last night.

I thought I wanted Jose to win...But I think now that I wish Stefan would have won. They showed this clip of Jamie and Leah getting lets say "Happy" with liquid aid? And them going to judges table very "Happy" was kind of entertaining to watch...not to mention that the judges cracked up too..and Tom had a zinger to Leah which just blew my mind, cause him being so serious sometimes..

Is this the first time they have done a Top Chef reunion? I'm not remembering any in the past.

It was good to see everyone again, but kinda boring overall. I definitely think Hosea and Leah are a couple now based on their vagueness. Yay for Fabio!!!

Yes, there have been reunion shows in the past. They always have a fan favorite that also receives a cash prize. It typically is the week after the finale.

A little late here, I DVRd most of the season and was always like 4-5 episodes behind so I avoided this thread. Just watched the finale and the reunion the other night and really enjoyed the whole season this year. I was ok with Hosea winning actually, although I did think Carla had a shot til she just let that other chick take over her whole kitchen. The reunion show was a hoot, I was crying real laugh tears when Jamie and Leah were all toasted and they kept showing Fabio kissing Stephan's head. I wonder where I could find the first two seasons cheaply on DVR, I've never seen them...
