TOP CHEF thoughts? *spoilers*

I know right?! And I can't even remember Jamie being on the bottom for any other challenge, she was generally in the top 2 for almost every challenge. So it seemed so left field. And Hosea is a seafood guru supposedly and he missed the mark with that monk fish. I hate that we only see an edited version of what went down, we obviously missed the bulk of the criticism they gave to Jamie becuase it seems they were harsher on the other two!?
I think Jamie just wasn't feeling last nights challenge and it showed. I'd love to know how Hosea and Leah always manage to avoid elimination though. I can't stand Leah, everything about her is so bland! Her food, her look, her personality. And then with her whole "I quit" attitude during the quick fire, ugh, just send her home already.
I think it's probably going to come down to Stefan and Fabio and Stefan will take it. He's just won too many challenges at this point not to pull off the big win.

Jamie screwed up - and Tom said that it was a unanimous decision amongst judges because it was inedible. Sure, she was the strongest chef along with Stefan, but it matters only on this one challenge. (check out her blog entry at bravotv)
I'm disappinted, too. She was my pick. My picks always lose LOLOL

He would really have to fall on his face in the finale to lose and I just don't see him doing that since practically every dish he has made has been stellar. He is classically trained and it shows!
Totally agree. There's just no one left that is really on his level and he knows it. He's like the Hung of this season.
Darcy has a point with this. Though sometimes they do factor in past performances in whether to keep someone or not. I think it saved Carla a few times this season.

Tom has been really quick to say in past interviews/blog entries that past performance is never to play into a decision about who goes home. And while they'd love to keep someone because they've shown good skills in the past, if they messed up this challenge more than anyone else, they still go home. Tre comes to mind. Tre was an awesome chef, and went home for a challenge where he was the lead chef. someone else screwed up on his team, but he went home. He was measurably better than pretty much everyone but Hung (I think that's the right season-too lazy to look it up), but this particular challenge, this particular thing sent him home, even though he was really good.
Not trying to defend them, and I'm sad that Jamie went home because she was my favorite and I really wanted to see her kick Stefan's butt, sadly - not to be.

I was surprised Jamie got the boot too...she at least knew her mistakes and understood her dish..Leah didn't "get" it...shrug...
Stefan is def the strongest left I think...although remember Richard Blaise? I pegged him to win and he just LOST it in the final challenge and ended up losing.
Stefan is growing on me..I kinda like Carla lol...the underdog!

That was Cliff. Tre was head of Restaurant April for restaurant wars.
And, as the saying goes in Restaurant Wars, if you're exec and the restaurant loses, you go home because you were exec.

Does Leah ever "get" it? She never seems to me like she's really with the program.
I think the difference with Richard was Stephanie was tough competition all along. I'm not sure there's anyone else this season that is on Stefan's level.

I think Jamie could give Stefan a run for his money, not like the Stephanie Richard match up though.
Leah was really strong in the early part of the season, but she does seem clueless now. Maybe it was because there were so many others that just really were not as strong that made her look really good early on.
What astounds me is how Carla has skated through til now. Must be all that "love'
