Did Heather really win? My local affiliate cut it off when they were given they keys and went to commercial. I wasn't sure if we were cut off or they were dragging it out another week!

Does anyone know of a site that I can download tonight's finale? We had storms come through just as it was about to start. The entire cable went out and one by one the stations came back on - all except Fox, that is. So frustrating.

Thanks for spoiling, Ketchuplover! Great job! (And I am SO glad Heather won! I think Virginia still had some growing and learning to do, good palette or no.)

Great job, KL! What a great ending. I'm such a softy...tearing up as Heather walked through the door. I was rooting for her anyway and thought it should have been a Keith/Heather Final. Loved how Keith bribed Virginia..I woulda booted his ass.

Ginny will do okay in the real world. She can find a niche and really excel. It just won't be with Ramsey. Thanks for spoiling Klover ! It makes the show more fun to watch.

Oh, I'm so glad there's a run-down here. I taped it, but I'm too tired to watch it right now. Yay for Heather!

If the edge really was that slight, I would have gone with the good palate. I think that Virginia made a mistake in her choices for kitchen helpers. I would have selected Keith and then Sarah and then Garret if he was still available.

I'm disappointed Virginia didn't win. I think Heather is technically competent but lacks a certain flair. Virginia's restaurant design really grabbed me, but Heather's missed the mark a bit. While I agree Virginia's picks were awful, I don't know what else she could do. Any of the people like Keith, Sara and Garrett who were around long enough were very bitter towards her and treated her horribly. Jaicomo and Tom were the only ones who didn't try to screw her over at some point.

I'm pleased that Heather won, because she always did run her kitchen better. The fact that Virginia chose as she did showed her lack of real leadership qualities, and it cost her the game. Winning as many palate related challenges got her to the final two, because of the extra tutoring from Ramsay. Since she does have that amazing palate, I think she'll do fine along the line when she has more experience. Last year I was really surprised at who Ramsay chose, because the guy was really sneaky, this year I agreed with his choice, but Virginia has no need to feel any shame, she'll do fine in the future, in fact, I bet she already has a great job just from this exposure.
