I had just assumed for most of the season that Amy had this in the bag so I was really shocked when she was let go and Jag and Rory were the final two. I liked Jag but it is what it is. I will definitely vote Amy. I like the way she handled the on-the-spot commentary during the iron chef comp. I just sense more integrity when it comes to real passion and knowledge of cooking then I do with Rory. I honestly thought they only put Rory in the final two to make it easy for whoever was opposite of her to win.

No time to read thread, but was sorry to hear from TNT what had happened with Amy out, then Jag resigning, and why, and I don't really care so much about Rory's appearance, don't appreciate her trying to win with her boobs and that is a choice, something she doesn't have to "thrust forward" so to speak, and I don't care that she was ON another reality show but I didn't like her actions on that show and I don't find her to ba an agreeable personality on this show. She's been featured prominently from the very first episode of this show and seems to be fated to win. Since I don't currently watch any food network show except this one, clearly I won't be drawn in to any show that Rory might be given. If we get to vote, I'd say my vots willl go to Amy if she impresses me in the last show. I really loved Jag.

Wow, I was shocked last night when Amy was let go over the other two. Regarding, Jag, yes he shouldn't have embellished his military career and his cooking credentials, but does Rory have a culinary degree? I'm completely with Costa on my view of Rory. I saw what she did on her other reality show and I don't think she is a real 'chef.' She has smarmed her way through 2 reality shows now. That does not a chef make. For some reason, the older judge has always pushed Rory. I've never understood it.

I don't think the point is whether or not someone has a culinary degree. It's the fact that he lied about it that is the problem. If he had simply said 'he had attended culinary school' that would have been fine.

Yeah, this isn't Top Chef where all the chefs really ARE chefs. Otherwise, they wouldn't let mothers who've done nothing but cook for their kids apply, and get on, this show. But my beef is that I really want to watch someone with cooking chops. I don't want to watch a personality. I'll watch HK for that.

Curlyq The only "famous" person anyone has ever said I remotely look like is Tyler. More so now than before, hehe. And I love me some Alton, but I think he looks a whole lot like Thomas Dolby...and apparently I'm not the only one http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/FAQ/SeparatedAtBirth.htm

All the chefs on Top Chef are not chefs this time around - and the one who isn't is a FIERCE competitor!

Finale tonight! I ran across this site today and I happen to think it's really funny. It's a Giada DeLaurentis "play by play" as she eats some cranberry sorbet. I think the picture captions are probably more realistic than any explanation I'd read from Giada, lol. http://www.tvgasm.com/archives/food_network/001570.php://

I have a feeling that we are all gonna be disappointed tonight. My gut says it is going to Rory.

Why is Rory so disliked? What has she done? I know she said she'd flirt if it would help her, but I never saw her go overboard or dress inappropriately. She does not act like a "floozy" and I do not think she is using her sexuality all that much. She does have large teeth, is that what people are so "upset" about??? I don't get it. I think she does better on camera than Amy. (Though on the show before last, she really did well while narrating. But her face is just not that good for a camera. Not to be mean, she is not unattractive, just her crooked mouth and teeth and skin are not that photogenic.) Plus Amy already got booted. If Amy wins, it really is not an honest win if you ask me...

So I take it back, not all of us will be unhappy! Nah, I just don't see her has a food network fit. It probably a little bit too much boobs in your face for me. I don't care that she has them, I care that she thinks that is what she needs to do. I truthfully am not a fan of either. But, I can see Amy as a better fit for the network than Rory. If I look at it as who should truly get the show and not my personal likes/dislikes. I think Amy is the better cook between the two. I think for me that the difference is Rory appears to be trying to make it on TV. Amy seems to me to want to show the world how to cook.

No Stacey, personally I don't actually like Rory all that much either! But I do not have the amount of dislike that I read about in here.

I don't see Amy as wanting to show the world to cook at all. Look how complicated her french items were in comparison to the simple BBQ stuff Rory did. Amy is a touch snobbish with all her french stuff. Rory seems a little more grounded. I think that the NFN Star should be a little more of a TV person than a chef.

LOL I am debating two people I won't that I really won't watch. I guess, I am tired of all the grill stuff they do, and am looking for someone to show me something new. Now that being said she has to tone down some and needs some work. You think Rory is going to get it tonight as well?

I'm for Amy .. and I think Amy's "french items" as you called them above are far less intimidating than Julia Childs' were 40 years ago. Give the people some credit for being intelligent. If they are intimidated by making a croque monsieur, I'm sure Rory'll gladly fill'm up with a big ol' bowl of grits. Yum!

Woofy, actually, Julia wasn't intimidating in the least. I have 4 of her dvd sets and everytime I watch them, I howl with laughter. She, truly, explained it all. It was her thirst to make her viewer part of the program that won our hearts. Do I think either of these woman have 'that' special talent? Heck, no! But, I'll go along with you...Amy over Rory.

It looks to me like they are pushing for a Rory win. We shall see. Rory just bugs me and I really am not sure why. Kind of like the one hostess who does things partially homemade. Name went out of my head!I cannot watch her at all which stinks cuz I know that I would love some of what she does.

I am sitting here playing on my laptop so decided to watch it tonight instead of using the DVR. The contestants seem to genuinely care about each other. A bit different from other reality shows.
