speedz99 145 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I didn't say that. Because I don't think he is a liar. I also don't think it was rigged. However, I do think it's possible.Go back and look at the quote from his blog. If you're saying that it was anything but a clear and easy decision that Jennifer deserved to go home, you are calling him a liar. Saying he might be a liar is just semantics.Edit: It's a binary thing. You believe him or you don't. If you aren't sure, it means you don't believe him. If you don't believe him, you think he's a liar. Link to post Share on other sites

El Guapo 8 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The problem I have with this line of thinking is that if the decision was unfair, there is no way that Tom would admit it and destroy his own show. So what he says, while interesting, certainly doesn't dispel my conspiracy theories.If this was the case, Josea would have never won and Richard would have never lost.

brvheart 1,752 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 If this was the case, Josea would have never won and Richard would have never lost.I've only seen one other season from start to finish. So I don't know who Richard is... and I assume that you mean Hosea. I saw that season and I agree that that puts a hole in my theory. Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_536 3 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Richard Blaise was the clear class of his season but he messed up at the end and let a solid but unspectacular female win (not unlike the Hosea season). Link to post Share on other sites
theresa113 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I liked Jenn from the beginning and was hoping she would win. I think her concepts were solid but neither dish was better than the other competitors. I hate to see her go but reluctantly, I know it was the right choice.Now I am torn between Brian and Kevin. I like Brian's sophistication but I like the straightforwardness of Kevin. Michael is probably a tad more talented than both of them but his ego and bashing of the others has worn thin.

What has disappointed me about her is that it seems like she has had little to do with Top Chef since she left. I haven't seen her on any episodes as a guest judge nor was she at the reunion dinner. I think with the exposure you get on the show, it would behoove you to participate afterward. Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I guess I'll just say it. Michael's going to win. I suppose I've thought that the whole time, which is why I keep defending him to the Beardo Boys (and girls). You heard it here first. Well, probably not first. But that's my prediction.

But that's my prediction.History is against him here. In every season except for maybe S3, the more complex chefs have blown it. Tiffani's choice to do two dishes pre course in S1, Marcel's awful decision to serve a foam outside in Hawaii in S2, Blaise and his overly complex techniques in S4...Personally, I see Kevin edging out Brian.

speedz99 145 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 That's a pretty good point. I'm still taking Michael though. I'll tell you guys why after the finale. Link to post Share on other sites

His avant-garde, " high cuisine" style is better suited for the final challenge. Link to post Share on other sites
El Guapo 8 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Is it going to be a 3 way finale where all three get to make a 5 course meal like in seasons past? Do they get their own batch of special ingredients?Think about this for a second, in years past they have gotten past contestants to be their sous chef's. If they bring the last 3 voted out it could be thisBryan - JenBeardy - EliMichael - RobinNow, THAT, would be interesting! Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 20 minutes in:-I like that they showed Michael helping Kevin out with the sauce boiling, to show he's at least a decent human being in the kitchen.-The mom thing was nice.-I'm really kind of sad that this season is ending, much more so (moreso?) than any other season.

speedz99 145 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Quick thoughts:-I told you so.-Great awkward "handshake or hug?" moment between Tom and Michael.-I would have been ok with any of them winning.-Best season so far, by far. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 That was not the episode to put our your worst dish.I was surprised, I actually thought Bryan was going to win.Great season. Glad I finally came back to watching it after taking the last 3 seasons off. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 We all got jewed by Speedz.Also, I knew from the beginning that Michael was going to win, because they stupidly showed Padme at the beginning of the episode looking directly at the middle person and saying, "you are Top Chef". That was totally stupid that they showed that and it ruined the ending for me. Link to post Share on other sites
