I am sooo excited that Hosea won this season. I liked Carla she did not stay true to herself, had she done that she may have won. Stefen was a jerk and even though he could cook he could not get out of the way of his ego. I already cna not wait for next season. What is everyone elses opinion on the season of top chef?

I don't think the best chef won this season. This is the first season that disappointed me and I have been watching Top Chef since the beginning. The contestants did not really showcase any new exiting techniques and too many of the Top Contenders went home for stupid reasons. I really was rooting for Carla to win out of the final three that were left because she was continually underestimated. I think she would have one if she would have stuck to her original plan and not taken so much input from Casey (a really good chef who blew it at the season finale as well). Stefan was a jerk but did he deserve to lose after winning so many challenges. And did Hosea deserve to win after winning 1 or 2?? After reading the blogs on BravoTv.com I'm more convinced than ever that the producers influenced the decision to have Hosea win and Hosea did not win just because of the food he produced. I really would have liked to see Jeff, Radhika, or Jamie take Hosea's place in the finale. At least these are contestants that were continually in the top on all the challenges and I would have believed they actually beat Stefan in terms of taste.

I actually completely agree with you. I guess I was happy for Hosea mainly because I did not care for Stefan. And there was many chefs that left on ridiculous terms. I wasnt big on Radhika but I liked Jeff and I think he really got screwed at the end. I agree that this season was not as good as past ones. Carla should not have listened to Casey and Im sure looking back on it she realizes what a huge mistake that was. Did you watch the reunion? It was quite funny and I think the person who won fan favorite was actually correct. I don't want to say if you have not seen it yet.

I did watch the reunion and I am happy that Fabio won. I knew it would be either him or Carla. They were both very positive on the show and they were both hillarious! I am interested to see if Hosea and Leah do end up together with the way they were acting on the show (especially Leah). She seemed to protest too much against a relationship with Hosea. It was nice to see the contestants weren't holding a grudge and there was really no hard feelings between contestants and judges.

I was hoping for either Carla or for Fabio to get fan favorite. I wasn't surprised when Fabio won. He had some great lines. Like, "You can put monkey brains on a clam shell and serve it..." He was hysterical. I recently read on a blog saying that Hosea and Leah were spotted recently for making out at the bar of Madame X in Manhattan. The blog did refer to them saying they were "just good friends." Guess they're friends with benefits? My absolute favorite chef is still Sam, from season two. I heard he recently got married, after having been engaged to two women at the same time.
