YAY TOP CHEF! I liked both contestants, but I think the winner had been consistently stronger all season.
Glad it was a normal length show, the pacing was great, not a lot of fake suspense bullshit.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Top Chef: I'm just happy the season is over so I never have to hear the phrase, "I work for Michael Voltaggio" again.

I stopped watching Top Chef this season when the incredibly hot dyke was kicked off. Sadface.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, I was also happy about Top Chef, the episode itself and the results, although I could have been glad either way.
I'm glad to never see that Stephanie Cmar ad where she says "The bold combination of flavors are extremely delicate." Makes me crazy!!

Melissa was my favorite this season, and I really thought she was a lock to win through much of the season.

Hey, I agree with Alyssa - Helen's Fall looks were my favorites of all of them.
Kinda meh overall. I do like the idea of the 4 season challenge, I think, but 4 days is just not enough time for really wow finale runways. Not pleased with the winner, but I'm not outraged, I guess.

Yeah, if they are going to give them four days, I'd rather see two or three really excellent pieces, and eliminate the "poorly done" criticism, because what do they expect?

Yeah. I guess they want to be able to exclaim "I can't believe what they did with 4 days!" but it's not worth it imho.

I now understand the downfall of competition shows where you like everyone-- now it is sad to see them go!
In the Great British Baking Show, I will miss Martha, even though she did have a bad week. But she was so sweet, and talented!
