Talking OT: Top Chef Finale Tonite!

Anyone gonna watch tonite? I LOVE Stephanie and think she deserves to win. She has been the most consistant chef out of the final 3. Why is Lisa still even there? I can't stand her attitude and she needs to be kicked out!

I'm also pulling for Steph, but I can also tolerate Richard winning. I CANNOT STAND LISA! She should have been booted long ago. I swear if she wins I'll never watch Top Chef again!

Stephanie for the win, I do have soft spot for Richard so that would be an okay win, Lisa - OMG no way she is such a Debbie Downer ++++++ on the whole experience and her cooking is nowhere near the top 2!!

C'mon Steph let's go!!!!

Watched last night also and was SO relieved when Stephanie won. I can't stand Lisa and when she beat out Antonia last week I was ticked off! I swear if she had won last night I would thrown a pillow at the T.V.

Also, as expected, she was not even a gracious loser.

P.S. Has anyone started watching the Food Network one? I think it started a couple of weeks ago. I think it is called "The Next Food Network Star" It's pretty good also.

I told my husband last night if Lisa won I was throwing my shoe at the TV. He was hoping for her to win.......so he would have an excuse to go buy a new one!!!!!!!!

I missed reactions...my TiVo stopped recording right after they said Stephanie (I was afraid I wouldn't get to hear who it was). I was nervous that Lisa might win and so glad she didn't. Would have been curious to hear her reaction to losing. I felt bad for Richard because I think he and Stephanie are about evenly matched and he just didn't have a great meal. The only thing the cheers me up when the season ends is realizing that means Project Runway will be starting again soon!
