Uggg I wasnt the biggest fan of antonia but i loath lisa.

You should have seen the text message to my freind who i got to watch it like 2 weeks ago. she is now all into it and has been watchign the repeats.

here is the text from last night:
"She is a see you next tuesday. why does she need a congrats that she didntleave. no one ever gets a congrats when they are in the bottom and dont go home. only the winner gets a congrats"

She had written to me
"and the tude she gave the others for not congratulating her! i dont like her."


Yeah so this should be good times. I cant wait till next week

I loved Andrew he always cracked me up and acted like my friends and i do in the kitchen which made it all the more reason to vote for him. But now hes gone.

So as of now, I don't like Richard, he knows his stuff but he just chaps my ***, hes just annoying.

Lisa i hate too, i swear shes gay, which isn't a problem but shes so god **** butch. And every time shes in elimination standing there she has a look on her face that says psh you don't know me or what your talking about you suck not me and i cant stand it, she is horrible at taking criticism. Stupid *****.

I actually really really want Stephanie to win, shes cute, knows her stuff, is a generally nice person, and really wants it.

So my votes for her!

I wasn't sad to see Antonia go, but I would prefer Spike to be there rather than Lisa.

As for Stephanie and Richard - I liked them more earlier on but I think they're getting too cocky, especially Richard. I think Lisa was right to call them out that they didn't congratulate her. You don't know what goes on when the cameras aren't rolling and I'm sure that congratulations have been passed to the contestants that were in the bottom but did not get sent home. I think they both just don't like Lisa. It's been a big click from the beginning, I'm sure they thought that Dale should've been in the final 4.

I'm rooting for Stephanie... first woman Top Chef!!!

Yeah what was up with that?

Hi I'm Lisa, I finished in last place. How come you aren't congratulating me?

3 months in Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

Cambodia, not so much, but if those other two places are where Stephanie has been perfecting her palette, it is over for Richard.

Besides, she loves tahoe boys!

Agreed. They deff have had a great cast this season. Impressive even. I mean you always have your idiots that make you sit there and go wow and you learned to cook where....under a rock? But then you have the people that make your jaw drop.

Whens Top Chef NYC comming out?!

I had figured that Antonia would be in the final three, but, I could tell as soon as I started watching the show that she was off her game. Her focus just wasn't there. I would liked to have been able to taste the pigeon peas she made. I had them while in the Bahamas last December and as I recall they weren't as soft as many of the bean dishes I have had in the past. Maybe she did undercook them but maybe they were as they should have been and Colicchio(sp) wasn't used to that texture. Of course the one really telling comment was that Antonia's table had the fewest guests eating her food. In the end, for some reason she just didn't bring her "A" game and it cost her dearly.

Lisa seemed to have, IMO, a few bright spots during this show which lead me to belive she has some talents and skills we have not been made aware of previously, compliments of TV editing. Maybe thats why she is still there. Richard obviously has some disdain for her as does Stephanie.

I agree, Lisa does know her stuff but she just has the WORST attitude EVER in a kitchen, and just the fact of her being (not just once or twice) but a good amount of times up on the chopping block and she stands there EVERY TIME with this look on her face where her lips are puckered together like she just ate something that she probly shouldnt have but the fact is, this show will make you into something from nothing so just the fact you got the opportunity is amazing and many other people would jump on it, i know its stressful as all **** but you still need to have a good attitude winning or loosing. Even the other contestants point out her bad attitude. I dont know. I just dont like her.

If its Richard and Steph in the end Ill be happy either way, but all in all im really iching and pushing for the First Female T.C.

Thats all ive got to say because you cant sit there and tell me that the two best people arent richard and steph but in the end who rocks out (front of the house and back) and is just always in good spirits, attitude, and just always smiling......................Steph.

Point and Match.

A friend was on the video crew of last year's top chef. His direct quote: "Don't underestimate the influence of the show's producers in determining who stays and who goes. This is totally about producing entertaining television. It's no different that pro wrestling in that there has to be a "face" and a "heel" to make the show draw viewers."

Personally, I think you have to be very talented to make the initial cast. I'd have more confidence in the outcomes, if the panel was served blind; not knowing who made what.

me too!! felt bad for Richard, but Steph is a great cook and would love to work with her.
Not really want to think about it, but Lisa had the big pout on at judges tables.

Now on to NFNS--

this was a fun thread thanks guys,
Nan

I was happy Steph won. Out of all of them I would most deff. work for Steph idk about any of the others. Jen was a dumb *****, richard was good. He didnt deserve to win but he was good. Through out the season I hated him and when the last eppisode rolled around and they said steph won and richard got upset i felt bad for the first time for him because I know what its like to be in the top and have it all shatter down ontop of you because you didnt win. But the one good thing is that he'll be able to bounce back and still get credit and people to come to his restaurant just because "ITS RICHARD FROM TOP CHEF!!!"

Id eat his food and Id eat stephs but every one else nahhhh ill pass.

Oh! And I almost forgot.....Congrats Jen for taking 3rd place with flying colors. Idiot........
