I like it tho. Better than Iron Chef. At least the judges dont have to make up some bs about how good the food tastes. Very entertaining overall.

I'm thinking Sam, Elia, Cliff for the top 3. Cliff is like Harold from season 1. Taste is always dead on.

I enjoy this show, and would love to have half the skills most of the contestants do.

My predictions for the final four: Elia, Sam, Cliff and Betty.

My prediction for the winner: Cliff.

So does anybody think Sam still has a chance of winning after watching the last episode.

Michael is my favorite character. Glad to see Betty go!

Sam looks to be the favorite to win this. He will have to seriously F up in order to not win.

Elia has flavor/taste & plating but I think her kitchen management skills are not as good as Sam's. I think Michael is the wild-card. The percocet definitely helped him concentrate.

It is nothing like a real kitchen. Half those chefs don't know what it's like to work in a real restaurant.

I also think Sam is a favorite. I like Michael as the dark horse.

Elia is OK and I absolutely can't stand Marcel. Cliff is no favorite of mine either.

Micheal is from one of my favorite restaurants in town so I'm hoping he wins. I just don't hope the prices go up too much now that he's famous from this show!

Aren't almost all of them either line cooks, executive chefs, or something of the kind?

Yeah, it looks like Sam's the favorite. I can't help but like Michael, though. So far, I think Elia's dishes have been the most creative, but I just don't feel like she's going to win.


Glad to see Betty go, though. What a total b!tch.

Michael is a total slacker, how can he be a Top Chef? He's good for family/casual type restaurant. I can't imagine him being any more serious.

Yeha you are right. I haven't even seen the show and was making a completely uneducated assumption. I am just pissed at those who fit my previous description.

That is why the judges were so surprised with what he made on the last episode.

Sam and Michael are my favorites right now. Marcel is a good chef, but not nearly to the extent that he seems to thinks he is.

I haven't caught up to the newest newest episode. The last episode I saw was where they have to make enough food to cater to some Hollywood party. And Cliff's team didn't have enough food on the table all the time. Mia took the blame and left to let Elia to stay in....

So out of like a big chunk of the season, I haven't seen Michael done anything that show that he can be a Top Chef. - even his TGIF piece was a flop- which was a surprise....

Well, if you haven't seen the latest episode, here's a spoiler

























Michael wins the quickfire (which awards no immunity at this stage) and the actual challenge.
