i love this season. it seems they decided to pass on the people with no talent but big personalities and instead got legit chefs with talent. unfortunately they all seem very boring now, lol. if you go through the biographies, and yes i'm guilty of that, you'll see that there seems to be some hardcore, legit chefs this year. already it's plain to see that the pure talent level this year is way beyond any of the other years. so i'm looking forward to this season.

I agree, this year seems to have some great talent including James Beard award nominees and other award winning contestants. I'm sure there will be lots of drama and hopefully it won't be a soap opera like some previous seasons.

well now , wasn't that 4 step chicken just the thing ? NOT !!!!!

I will take that potato dish done in muffins tins though....

I would of thought that the last two standing would have had alot more to bring to the table than a sandwich and a piece of chicken....what was that all about ? Bobby Flay , are you losing the game plan here ?
If it was that easy , I should have signed up. What is happening with TV ?
Where is the passion ? As Ramsay said , "I can give you a tin body but I can't give you a heart ".

indeed... after reading the bios there some serious talent there... i am excited to see more, the first episode was so blah, the second much better (minus the political nonsense in the middle)... hopefully they get more exciting from here on out...

4-step chicken--that was the final episode of NFNS, Top Chef just started season 6.

I missed this week, but was not impressed with the first weeks dishes. Wolgang Puck certainly wasn't either, funny!

With a few exceptions, I do think there's a little more talent there from the get-go. I just wish they'd left their potty mouths at home. Lol, I'm not a prude, but there's got to be more words in the Englilsh language than the ones they're using!

I don't like the guy with the greek background, he's an idiot. First episode he makes a rude comment about losing to a girl. Then he gets angry at the potato challenge when Jen (I think that's her name - the girl kicking asphault) wins with her mussels and potato broth dish. He called it favoritism. He has some major issues it seems and is only hurting his image in the DC area I believe.
