Top Chef finale tonight - who wants to know the winner?

[AngryAmish]

Because I know who wins.

[MissMillie]

1. don't wanna know

I wanna watch.

[AngryAmish]

3. Even if it means missing part of the Cubs game?

[MissMillie]

4. Sox game starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time

by 10:00 p.m. the Sox should have won it.

2. Who's even left?

I always end up watching the repeats. Since I'll probably miss this one too, I would like to know who wins. Whoever is left, I hope Hung isn't the winner.

9. Hung's the best of 'em

Not the most likeable, but the best.

11. I think that he's an excellent cook.

I watched him recreate the dish at La Cirque & the owner (whose name spell check won't correct) said it was dead on.

I've also seen him sandbag other contestants. He never takes responsibility (that I've seen) for his mistakes. It's always someone else's fault.

16. If they are announcing it live how CAN anyone know the winner?

Are you saying this is a "cooked" contest? (I'm sorry, but I just had to use that pun...)

No, seriously, if it is a "live" thing how can anyone have known what to tell you if it is a legitimate contest? I'm just kinda wondering about it now. Please restore my faith in the show!

PS, If it a big deal in Chicago, right now, I have to wonder if Dale manages to pull off another good dish. Hmm...

[AngryAmish]

17. The have already taped the finals

The food is cooked, the tastings made.

The announcement is all they are holding out on.

BTW, I am just hearing rumors. I'm not connected with the show.

[davsand]

18. So, local word of mouth (so to speak) is possible?

Again, with the bad puns, but I just can't resist...

Anyhow, I can see how it would be really difficult to keep Mom from calling Aunt ____ to share the good news, who then tells the neighbor, who then tells.... Well, you get my point. Anyhow, thanks for the comments. I think I'll just plan to be parked in front of the TV tonight to see how it all turns out.

So--since you are hearing stuff out of Chicago, how is next season shaping up? Are we gonna see some good food and fun people or is it gonna be a bunch of drama queens slinging hash? Are there adorable chefs to drool over or are they all mud fence ugly? Do tell!

20. That I don't know

All I know is where the house is (Roscoe Village) and they had a shopping thing at a Whole Foods a few days ago.

People on the show / judges who I do not know have been seen around town. I am just glad I don't know where Padma is staying because my wife would not find it at all funny if I got arrested lurking outside in the bushes.

[LynneSin]

19. PM me so I know whether to stay up or not tonight

If it's Hung I want to know - if it's not Hung then don't tell me

[AngryAmish]

21. Aren't you gonna stay up watchng the Cubs?

Anyway, I'm outta here. I going shopping and to the gym.

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

24. So, all of us that wanted to know are, what?

I thought you were going to tell. And now you've gone off to the gym?

[judaspriestess]
