I was an Andy fan, too Lilfair and was so sad to see him go. I was out of town the week that episode first aired and didn't know he was the one voted out until I saw the re-air this Sunday. I wish they'd let us have a say all along, let us vote someone off each week or maybe not eliminate anyone along the way, and have us vote from all the contestants. I don't know...I just know that in Season 1 I loved Hans, only to see him not make the finals and this season it was Andy.

I was okay with the finalists, but wouldn't say I "love" either of them. I thought Guy's pilot was better. I liked the way he really explained what he was doing as he went along, and he does know his stuff. I didn't think Reggie was really teaching us..and his "girls" thing got on my nerves pretty quickly...he was calling his ingredients "girls", referring to the audience as "girls". I remember the week Rachel Ray was on there...Reggie was referring to his ingredients as "the girls", talking about adding the girls in and, at that time, I thought "Wow, that is pretty annoying, but I bet Rachel Ray's going to LOVE it". And, sure enough, when she gave him his feedback she said how much she loved his "the girls" thing. Of course, I find her irritating to watch, too.

Rachael drives me crazy when she keeps saying, EVOO Extra virgin olive oil....why does she always say both???? If she doesn't think the audience will understand EVOO, then just say the whole thing. Not both..over and over

Crzndeb, I agree with you on the EVOO. Gives me fits.

By the way, would you like a couple of more vowels? Crazindeb, perhaps? CryZendeb?

I prefer Guy for the win. As I watched his last demo I realized I just witnessed a finished product. He does very well. I also find his creations more inspiring than Reggies fare. I already have chicken pot pie down pat. :-)

LOL, FB. I'm a cruisaholic, hence the name. But I definitely like your new additions.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but I guess I would have to choose Guy also. I wasn't really wowed by any of them.

I like Guy. Reggie would get on my nerves very fast and I wouldn't watch him. I think Guy's dishes are much more creative and he has better TV personality.

I think Reggie is a doll, but I agree, Zummat, he would get on my nerves too. I think Guy would have the better show.

As long as Nathan didn't make it to the finals...I could take either Guy or Reggie.

I like them both.

Guy won. No big surprise there...I liked Reggie and was kinda rooting for him to win...but oh well...I'd watch Guy's show.

ok..this has been driving me crazy. I thought Guy's last names was Fieri..with an R. Whenever Mark pronouces it, it sounds like Fieti, with a T...anyone else notice? or am I truly crazy??
be very kind when you answer this question! LOL

anyway..yea for Guy. Anyone feel like Emeril was passing the torch and knew it??

Fieri with an R you pinhead!

Emeril is full of himself and I did not get he was passing a tourch at all, just the opposite. I don't care for him.

Funny little finale in that small room with a handful of people standing. It felt like an after thought. Okay guys, this room is empty, come on in. No, skip the chairs, too much hassle, you with the confetti, get on the ladder.

Guy had it all over Reggie. He is socially comfortable, no schtick, and will do well.

Mark pronounced it correctly. He did not pronounce it with a T, he rolled the R.

yes that is correct, it is a rolled R, the rolling can sometimes mimic the "T" sound but there is no final pressing of the tongue against the back of the T. at least not in Italian.

I'm glad Guy won...Reggie is a cutie, but I think the "girls, girls, girls", would have drove me crazy after a while. Kinda like the "EVOO, Extra Virgin Olive Oil" schtick. Guy seems more natural in front of the camera.

I didn't think there was a real choice but I'd be curious as to what the vote tallies were? I checked out The Food Network site but couldn't find anything. I have a feeling it wasn't a close vote.

Guy seemed more experienced and actually seemed more into the food than Reggie. I kept thinking Reggie was acting.

Good Luck to them all and it did me good to see Andy.

I thought that Guy very gracious in his win.

Guy has more overall experience than Reggie. Reggie was a pastry chef. I enjoyed watching Reggie on this show, but would never have watched him on his own show. (Personally, the "girls" was getting a little offensive.)

I've always thought this was Guy's to lose. All he needed to do was remember who his audience is (not his friends, other chefs, but real people in the real world). Once he started talking to US, he really came in to his own.

I doubt if I'll watch his show unless it's on during the blocks of time I have Food TV on, though.

I thought the "finale" set was the same one that they used last year .. some hallway in the network offices.

I thought that Emeril looked terrible, was under-rehearsed, and hadn't properly been brief on anything.

I'm glad that Guy one. I was afraid that if Reggie won, next year people would think "you can only win that contest if you're gay."

Happy that Guy won. Reggie was OK but for me the "girls" and "sassy" remarks were getting old really fast.

I really enjoyed this show because all the contestants were actually nice to each other. And the judges/executives and other chefs really seemed to care and want to help them.
