Due to time constraints I have viewed only the last 7 or 8 minutes of the final show which does give the series winner. It is episode eight at the link above. I was surprised to find it there because I am relatively sure episodes 7 and 8 - and maybe a couple before those - were not formerly aired.

So yes, it is possible to find out who the winners are -

Thanks TNT, I will watch it later. Hulu and Sidereel only has 7 episodes, I assumed they were not putting the finale online then.

All of the episodes are on the NBC web site and it ends with episode 8 but they have not all aired on Friday nights.

Wow - not what I expected, but based on what they showed us, it was the right choice. Of course, now I wonder if it was edited to make us feel that way, and I also figured they'd win when Pierre said they listened to him. What if BOTH teams had "listened"? Would the choice have been more difficult? I also wonder if the wait person on the losing team did SOMETHING right at some point? S/he sure had a rough night and didn't seem very friendly. (Trying not to give away which team it was, but I think the front of the house was the determining factor more than anything else.)

I liked the outcome of the two remaining finalist. I was disappointed when one of the other teams didn't make it in the finale. I am sure it was edited (as they all are) but based on what they showed us, I was pleased with the winners. I think you are right about front of the house playing a huge part, I also think the ego in the kitchen with the two chefs equally played a part.

The finale was on TV tonight. I liked the outcome too. Lisa's ego was a little much. Anopol generally didn't seem too enthused with the whole thing. Just doin' it for his ex?!

Lisa thought she had this won, hands down. While I agree she was a better/more experienced chef she failed to take Marco's advice and keep the menu simple. The winning team listened to everything Marco suggested throughout the competition. I think that's why they ultimately won.

What a mess!! peppercorn, tequila, what a mess - Chef Marcella was told that - she didnt like the goat cheese and grape juice so she pureed them for a sauce - she never used lemon grass before so that didnt go over in her sauce for the flank steak -

coffee liquer avocados boiled gingko nuts and honeycomb = for dessert!! Joe and Matthew both say they have never used the honeycomb before!! Matthew making a zepole Joe is making something with avocado and gingko nut mush!

got interrupted - I so dont agree with who they chose to be the winner!! It was interesting that they showed a bit of the judges battle - but it seemed like the loudest judge won!

I guess you would've had to taste the desserts - but I thought it was about the whole course, not just the dessert??

I did enjoy the hour!
