But it was fun anyway! Although I was very sad to see Sam and Cliff as I really thought those two would be in the finals with Cliff winning.

Anyone still watching? I am tired of Howie. His time was over about 3 challenges ago and he really needs to go. I am still thinking Tre is the one to beat. Hung is also past his time to go. But I do like the very tall gentleman and the one who did the raw bar for the winning team last night. Very good interaction with the crowd and a very well planned service. While the women did sound a little whiny I did feel sorry for them cooking in dress up shoes and yes, I fully understood about trying to cook and having your breasts hanging out in the kitchen.

I had no idea Dale was gay until last night! And here, despite the mohawk, I was crushing on him a bit! Leave it to me to fall for the gay guy!

Don't we all! I can't tell you how many times I've mentioned I liked a man only to be told he wasn't my "type".

I'm at the point now if a man dresses well, speaks intelligently and is kind I just figure he isn't my "type".

I hated to see Sarah go over Howie....He has been in the bottom every week but one, I think.....Right now, I like Tre and CJ (the really tall guy) and I like Casey, but I don't think she will be around much longer. I was really thinking a woman might win it this time, since the previous 2 had male winners, but the women keep leaving....

I thought Howie would go, but what I think it came down to was that Howie doesn't give up but Sara did. A Top Chef doesn't quit. JMO

I'm glad Sara went. She was b*tchy as soon as they found out there was a challenge. What they showed on TV didn't show me that Howie was acting like an ass on that challenge. She was acting more like an ass to me.

I think Sara also made too big a deal of him saying "she is the baby of the group"....she was! And later in her goodbye, shey says, "I'm only 25." Well, yeah, that is what I think Howie was talking about!

Though personality wise I would have liked to see Howie gone, in competition terms, Sara hasn't done anything, IMHO, to shine. Howie's been all over the place (like Hung) but has had some shining moments.

Ok, I can agree that Howie has had some good moments but I don't think he works well with others unless he is in charge. Even then, what I have observed is his communication with others isn't on the level he would need to run a kitchen. I also hate seeing him sweat over the food. yes, its hot but wear a sweat band and use a towel to wipe your face!

I would love to taste those cheesy grits. Such a comfort sounding food yet elegant to serve at a nice restaurant.

I agree. Howie should not win this competition. He is not a leader. But neither was Sara, so head to head I go by their cooking and their success to date. And to me, Howie leaves her in the dust in that respect.
