I wonder if it's because Padma got divorced earlier in the year. Maybe she has had personal things on her mind previously.

My favorite quote of the night and the whole season was

"I've always wanted my own montage"

Bumping... I'm sure most of the Top Chef fans have seen that there is a "holiday" competition with chefs from all three seasons!!! (I'm totally psyched that I will get to see Stephen again.)

I saw it too, I think it is sometime next week but I just went to Bravo website and there is nothing on there about it. If I see anything again, I will post. The commercial ran during Project Runway.

If not, who was she?

Julia was the short order cook....and she was on Hell's Kitchen.

You had me there for a minute Tnt. I was looking all over the HK website for Josie.....cause I remembered Julia on HK, so I just naturally was looking all over the HK site for Josie. Finally figured out we're talking about Top Chef.

Anyway, here is Josie's bio from TC. Josie on TC

Her face is familiar, but I sure don't remember anything about her cooking! Did she leave really early in the competition?

Yes, on Bravo here in the USA.

Wow, I got to see it already! I tuned in late to Project Runway Wednesday night, so watched the re-airing of the new episode from 11PM to 12 midnight. Then what should happen at 12 midnight, but they say there will be a "preview" of Thursday nights 90-minute Top Chef Christmas special. It starts, and I begin to think: When will they end the preview? Well, they never did end the "preview"--it was an early showing of the entire show between 12 midnight and 1:30 AM. I SO much enjoyed it, such fun, one of their best. If I can find the spoiler tag HTML, I would post results for those who like to know in advance.

Okay, here's the spoiler on the Christmas challenge results: don't read unless you want to know!

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
CJ won the quickfire challenge, giving him one immunity in the elimination process. Two chefs were eliminated at a time over the length of a 3 course dinner, served simultaneously to 9 top chef judges. Stephen was one of the first to go, and admitted that probably his future was as "restauranteur" not chef; he is setting up his own restaurant, but doesn't spend much time actually cooking...more management and/or front of house, I take it. Betty was in the 2nd round of "let gos". The final four were Tiffani, Tre, Marcel and CJ, I think....final two were Tiffani and Tre. Each had a surprise final task of making a fourth course from left-overs in the kitchen in 1/2 hour time; other chefs formed into 2 teams to help them. Tre redeemed himself with dessert and made a great one; Tiffani put some of Marcel's leftover meat on a puff of some kind and people seemed to like that too. I think it was really a tie, but they had to award it to someone, and that was Tiffani, who seems to have really grown as a person, not so much arrogance and so excited because she too is opening a restaurant. Tre seemed happy, and all seemed good. Happy Holidays to all!
