June 18, 20205 yr I'm rooting for Stephanie, but I'm expecting Melissa. Of course I would not be at all surprised by Voltaggio or Blais.
June 18, 20205 yr I think Voltaggio has a fire lit under him after last week's judges table and wins it.

June 19, 20205 yr Author Melissa better start a Bumble tonight, she’ll find a girlfriend in no time now.
June 19, 20205 yr Great Finale. Would of been happy with any of them winning. Voltaggio pretty much the Buffalo Bills of Top Chef.
June 19, 20205 yr Author Worst part is now we go another year without Padma. This is one reality show that doesn’t just hammer out seasons.

June 19, 20205 yr 16 minutes ago, The Ace of Aces said: Best season ever. And probably best chef ever to appear. She dominated. I can only take so much Andy Cohen, but Tom mentioned that she had probably overtaken Paul Q as the most dominant ever. Very well deserved.
June 19, 20205 yr Author Damn, $10K more for fan favorite too. Have yourself a Thursday night. Edited June 19, 20205 yr by ss13 And donated it to charity.
June 19, 20205 yr Disappointed Bryan didn’t get the win. I really thought he had it. Good for Melissa though. All the previous seasons are on Hulu to get your Padma fix. Or in my case, my Gail fix.
June 19, 20205 yr Bryan is always the bridesmaid apparently. His meal looked awesome, but Melissa marrying local culture to Chinese was other worldly and an experience that they all realized might not be be created again. Respeck

June 19, 20205 yr I don't have anything to add to what has already been said, so will just repeat it Great finale. Great season.
June 19, 20205 yr Bryan is always the bridesmaid apparently. His meal looked awesome, but Melissa marrying local culture to Chinese was other worldly and an experience that they all realized might not be be created again. Respeck He ran into a buzzsaw. Melissa just dominated a really strong field.

September 12, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, TonyTexas said: I remember him. He came across as a real asshole. That's what I was thinking. I can't recall a thing about him other than that I seem to think he was unlikable.
September 12, 20205 yr Yeah, he wasn't nice, but certainly wouldn't wish this upon him. Motorcycles man. No thanks.
