***OFFICIAL Top Chef New York Thread

[davestar]

From the judges' comments, I was afraid that Stephan's dish was the worst of the night, and since they say they oust people based strictly on that night's performance, I was thought Leah might not get the boot that she's long deserved.

Pretty solid final 4, though I thought Jeff would be in it.

Yeah, I thought Carla would be gone instead of Jeff or Jamie. She's still one of the freakiest looking people I've ever seen.

Glad to see Leah gone finally, she's been second worst sooo many times.

Emeril is guest judge next time, might be interesting.

Yeah, I'm really happy about this final four.


I hope Stephan takes it. He's cocky as fuck but is clearly the most gangster out of all of them.

carla got a big WTF from me when she said she used to be a model. anyway she's been doing a lot better lately and seems to be creating really simple dishes while the others are complicating things too much.

She actually did not look too bad when she was wearing all the makeup in that clip.

In her chef's gear though all I see is her fearsome eyes.

 

[SmoochyTX]

I hope either Carla or Fabio wins even though I have a feeling it will be Stephan.

 

[GasX]

Stephan is too much of a douche for me to root for him, but her certainly is the one to beat. I think they all have the chops to win it though. As all of the contestants keep saying at this stage - the guy who slips up goes home at this point instead of the weak link who is not up to the level of others.

 

[Lamont Burns]

Are they doing the 3 person final again, or is next week it? In any case, ideally I'd like to see Hosea and Stefan facing off in the end... maybe Fabio versus Stefan or something.

 

[Ns1]

oh yeah, fabio is fucking HILARIOUS

"I'll cut it off and sear it on the flattop!"

lol

fucking awesome that he took it after fucking up his finger

 

[HardcoreRobot]

carla has definitely been a big surprise to me the last few weeks. it does seem that some of the chefs are overreaching in some of the dishes (and probably directly resulted in Jeff's demise). i do think it will bite carla sooner or later... she will make a simple dish that just falls flat.

they really ripped stefan that last ep, but i was pretty sure he wouldnt go. he cant slip up too much more though. leah's heart def didnt seem in it so im not too sad to see her go.

lol she looks better in the clips for the finale with her hair straightened. her eyes still bug me out though!

i know they only show a very small section of the judges table, but it seemed Toby wanted Stefan to go home because he definitely had the worst dish, and Tom was defending him because he's 10x better we can't send him home for one bad dish.

i really hope Fabio takes it, but i feel it may be Hosea or Stefan.

Stefan should have been gone this week, but they kept him for entertainment reasons. Oh well.

In general yes, but this week he was arrogant and did a piss poor job executing a dish he should have aced.

yeah i think this will be his wakeup call. i bet they went easy on him bc they have an entire seasons worth of material showing them he was overall better than leah... but if he keeps screwing up, cant justify keeping him around. does suck... you can have a lot of really crappy weeks, but if you are flawless and get good breaks in the end you can walk away with everything even as an inferior chef.

[nageov3t]

I love Carla so much... she should just be on every season of top chef ever again for comedic value.

I laughed so hard at the "I used to be a model" comment.

 

[SmoochyTX]
