Top Chef 6: Las Vegas Wraps UP
So I know I’m a few episodes behind on this. I think I’m the worst blogger ever. I’m ok with that, though. Life has been pretty busy lately and its hard to blog when I’d rather be making people swim with the fishes on Godfather for the Wii. However, Sarah and I did find time last night to watch the finale of TC6. Somehow I made it through the entire day without hearing it from anybody else or seeing it in the news but I did try to avoid the entertainment news.
What a great season of Top Chef, definitely one of the best in my opinion. The final four consisted of Jen, Kevin, Micheal, and Bryan. Jen was eliminate in the final elimination challenge which wasn’t really a surprise. To have beat the other three would have required somebody to have an off day and her to be her best. However, I think that any of these four could have won any of the other seasons of TC.
The finale got off to a rough start for my pick, Beardie (aka Kevin), as he drew two of the most pathetic chefs as his sous chefs, Preeti and Ash. Bryan picked up Jen and Micheal picked up Eli which are major pluses for them. However, as the saying goes, its a poor craftsman who blames his tools. You’ve got to work with what you got, even if it is two pitiful sous chefs.
Kevin ended up flopping on his pork belly which should have been his strongest. That pretty much knocked him out of the running and he ended up in third. The brothers both cooked their asses off with only minor mistakes and it could have easily been either one. However, the top prize went to the younger brother, Micheal, who was brought to tears, which is quite shocking. Actually, he says he was just acting to show America that he has a sensitive side too.
So lets see who guessed it right. Nobody. Beardie was the overall favorite but not a single person picked Micheal to win, however, four of us did put him into our top 3. Only one of us picked the top 3 correctly and that was Sarah, so nice job! Bob, Jen, Kate, and Steve managed to only pick 1 of the top 3 while everybody else had two.

Its almost like this is becoming a TC Blog
At last, Carla2(Robin) is gone. She won’t suck out into the finals like Carla did. Also, it was pointed out that I never included Sarah’s picks. She wisely went with both brothers and Beardie, who I also think will be this season’s fan favorite. Beardie can do no wrong.

I didn’t see that coming…..
While one of the funniest episodes of Top Chef to date (and arousing thanks to Padma and Natalie Portman), ended with disappointment as Carla #2 sucked out one more week and Michael I got served with dismissal. Maybe Bravo is keeping her around because of her “i survived cancer and look at me now” story. She certainly doesn’t have the culinary skills that any of the remaining chefs have; none of them have the skills that Beardie has.
