The best episode of the season may not have really been an actual episode.

Stefan's look after Padma walked in with the hard nipples - I loled so hard.

This thread got me to go back and start watching the whole series,

As someone with it fresh in their mind I really agree with the whole Ilan Spanish mediocrity, He just did the same dishes over and over.

Am I the only one who ends up rooting for the "evil chef"? The whole sous chef setup at the end of both season's seem to cripple the chef's and then the sous's try to screw them(mia/betty) over at the end with the judges.

Marcel: "...I thought it was going to take more then f'n saffron and paprika to beat me, but apparently not..."  DRILLING AND MANLINESS

The only thing I enjoyed about the finale was watching Hosea being a sad, sad, simpleton (flipping off Stefan, taking all the foie gras, saying how great it was to beat Stefan, etc).

This has come up before like Betty/Elia with Marcel, but holy shit to make that person the top chef?!

Fabio was the only chef that even kept me watching, but even that was difficult in the last two lackluster seasons. Tom looked so disgusted at times during the season, it showed in season four when they were in diner and he was reading the paper and drinking a coffee while hosting the show. I get the feeling he wanted to weed out so many people during this season but is wrangled in for the better of the show.

The only bright spot is a new season, hopefully they can find some better chefs. Seriously get a couple or even one molecular gastronomy chefs in there Blais and Marcel kept your food contests interesting even when they bombed.

1.

Then 3. But only because of Hung.

Hell, season 1 had a downy that could cook better than anyone on the last 2 seasons.

Actually, 4 was decent, but it isn't a "favorite."

On the eyes, Casey was great. But I watch the show for the cooking. You're helping to perpetuate the PROBLEM with the show >_<

If I want to watch great chefs cook weird food and actually learn something about cooking I watch Iron Chef.
