I don’t really have a front runner right now. I think Vinny is quietly consistent. But feels like anyone left could take it. 

I have Tristan as the front runner I think.

I think he is the most creative and the judges like his style. 

That pizza challenge kicked the chef’s asses. But the best chef won and the weakest chef went home so it did its job. 

Tom just seems fucking done with all of it.  Next season Bravo will probably do the whole season on below deck.  I am not entertained with this season except on LCK.

Such a lazy take. He may not have liked much of the pizza, but one whole week ago he said he had two of the best dishes ever on the show. I think he's digging Canada.

I can't stand Spike. 

He’s definitely changed his demeanor.  
 

these chefs are so creative.     Does it feel like massimo will be the next big star.  Big personality, Italian decent looking

I’d say the mussel Italian sandwich in the QF was the highlight.

Probably in the minority, but Massimo is entertaining. 

He has grown on me. If Tristan had gone home, he would be a dark horse to win it imo.

Horrible episode. 
 

Horrible gimmick challenge. Horrible executions. Horrible elimination.  

Challenge had absolutely nothing to do with food. It was so stupid.

Contestants have been great this year definitely a step up in talent than Wisconsin.

Challenges though have been very disappointing. Elimination challenges about the seasons and a pizza one. Really? Looks like they're completely skipping Montreal and the east coast which have great and interesting culinary traditions. Season should've been called Top Chef Toronto instead of Top Chef Canada.

I have hope that the finale will be in the Canadian Rockies along the Icefields Parkway, just to the west of Calgary.  One of the most beautiful places on earth.

The opposite - it’s in Calgary.

Well, they are based there, but they could do some challenges nearby. Maybe Lake Louise or something. 

Final 3 seem pretty set to me. Cedar and Bailey can’t measure up to the others. Unless one of them just fucks up royally. 
 

Finale in Milan will be fun, though won’t be able to measure up to Tuscany in All Stars 2.

Perfect result, these five can ball. Tristan v. Massimo for the glory would be great.

 

Also, goddamn, I want one of those cheeseburgers at the bar. 

Tristan should walk away with it unless he gets thrown a fucked ip challenge.  I think Bailey is a really strong chef as she’s a Sara Gruneberg exec chef; she seems to now be on Tom and Kristin’s bad side.  I thought the berry challenge was judged harshly; they used some weird ass berries that even birds don’t eat.  The Natives seemed to quite dogmatic about using them in their pristine state even though no one would eat them that way, and tom and Kristen slavishly echoed it.  Typical of this show with their stubborn refusal to go to blind judging; once Tom picks his favorite it’s hard to overcome.

Thankfully she didn’t take on Sarah’s personality, who was a total bitch on TC Texas

True but the worst personality on that season was fucking Nyesha Arrington, who years later is still an insufferable cunt.  Sara seems to have been humbled a bit .  

This has been a really great season with extremely likable and talented chefs. Can’t wait for the finale episodes. 

Yup. The talent has even mirrored over the really stupid challenges they've had (looking at you, stunt food challenge). 

I was surprised Bailey wasn't sent home because the overcooked part of her dish, but the women clearly loved hers more than his.

His was not creative, transformative, and the degree of difficulty was low.  Everyone can grill fish

I really liked that challenge setup for the semifinal. All the food looked good - hard to see anyone go home honestly  

And Kristen and Gail brought the girls to Milan, that was nice.

Haven’t finished the episode yet, but GOT DAMN Gail brought the girls out. My goodness. 

Gail’s kept them covered all season but brung em this week.  Kristen somehow got some cleavage with nothing to cleave; some kind of wardrobe engineering. 
 

risotto with no rice.  “It’s a technique!”  Tom should have sent those two clowns home immediately.  “So…no rice?” It’s rice broth! “Fuck you!”

I think this has been a pretty good season overall. Better than the last couple for sure. Tristan has to be the favorite to win.

Tristan should win it if the final is the usual “cook your best meal” and he keeps his head.  Bailey and Shuai have time management and focus issues that is the usual killer in the last cook.

Agree, though Shuai has come out with some bangers too. I don’t see Bailey winning, but I do kinda like her personality. And she came back through LCK also, so well done there. 

Tristan wins as long has he doesn't  completely fuck up. The dad story is too much for Bravo to pass on.

One of the wild cards is the manner they assign the sous chefs from the loser pool.  Several front runners have been wrecked by bad sous help.

Fantastic finale. One of the best seasons ever, and best since at least All Stars LA. 
 

Tristan dominated from dsy 1, and it wasn’t close. But the others did amazing cooks.

Yep, this season fucking delivered. 

Tom ain’t going nowhere, that will crush a couple repetitive idiots here. 

 

Spoiler

Gregory was annoying as shit though. You got a fucking mouse in your pocket, bro? 

It was hilarious how they had to edit the finale to try to have even a pretense of drama.  Tristan just dominated the season in a Paul Qui-esque way, and crushed the finale.  Definitely a first ballot Top Chef hall of famer.  The others were very good, but Tristan was just next level.
