April 25Apr 25 That pizza challenge kicked the chef’s asses. But the best chef won and the weakest chef went home so it did its job.
April 27Apr 27 That challenge was dumb and they all did nothing special - even Tom seemed checked out.
April 27Apr 27 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.
April 27Apr 27 Author 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.

May 2May 2 Tristen is pulling away quickly like Secretariat. Pretty impressive performance considering what he was dealing with at the time
May 2May 2 Author ‘zilla will be along in a few days to tell us the death was faked. Front should have gone home in the other one, but neither are relevant.
May 9May 9 Author I’d say the mussel Italian sandwich in the QF was the highlight. Probably in the minority, but Massimo is entertaining.

May 18May 18 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. Edited May 18May 18 by deac_tracy

One of the most beautiful places on earth.

May 24May 24 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.
May 24May 24 Author 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.
May 24May 24 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.

May 30May 30 Author Pretty goddamn good episode. Spoiler Liked my boy, but he got beat. Them’s the breaks. Glad Bailey gets to go to Italy.
May 30May 30 This has been a really great season with extremely likable and talented chefs. Can’t wait for the finale episodes.
May 30May 30 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.

June 6Jun 6 Author Well, that elimination will piss off the ‘Tom hates the fucking show, he’s done with it’ crowd. Glad the finale isn’t all dudes.
June 6Jun 6 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.
June 7Jun 7 21 hours ago, Biff Tannen said: 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!”
June 7Jun 7 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.

I don’t see Bailey winning, but I do kinda like her personality. And she came back through LCK also, so well done there.
June 7Jun 7 Tristan wins as long has he doesn't completely fuck up. The dad story is too much for Bravo to pass on.

June 9Jun 9 Uhm what was the point in getting the olympians in as guest judges? The shopping scenes were cringe
June 13Jun 13 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.
June 13Jun 13 Author 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?
June 13Jun 13 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.
