I really was hoping both brothers wouldn't make it to the finals.

They all did well in the final challenge and it must have been difficult for the judges.

I was sooooo nervous Kevin's beef was going to get him axed. Thank goodness Jen made two mistakes - too much salt AND the fire going cold. This will be an intense finale, but I am so impressed with those four chefs. They have been every bit as professional as the Top Chef Masters (okay - maybe not Mike V. as much) and it has been completely fun to watch these final few shows. Who wants to take a road trip with me so we can go eat at Kevin's restaurant and then Brian's - with a stop in Chicago to pick up a bite at Rick Bayless's restaurant??

I hated to see Jennifer go--I'm originally from Philadelphia, so she's like a homegirl to me. I felt like any of the four could have stayed and any of the four could have gone home, so I will have to satisfy myself with that delusion

Michael C is, I think, super talented--he showed as much on Top Chef Masters--but he (again) came off as kinda an ass in the Quick Fire challenge. He was much better in the Elimination challenge. He and Tom seem to have excellent palates. (gah! Just typing that felt pretentious)

I'm bummed about Jennifer going.

Happy that Kevin is still there and hope he wins.

Tired of the Voltaggios..

Kevin for the win !
I cannot take Mike V winning. I would be as upset as I was when Richard Hatch won the first season of Survivor.
I feel asleep shortly after the show started and awoke when Jen was being told to take your knives and go ...........

I had a feeling that Jennifer or Kevin would go tonight. The producers seem to think the big story is the rivalry between the 2 brothers and that the two of them in the final would be exciting. I've found their story line over the top and boring.

I was sad to see Jennifer go.

I've felt like its been set up for the brothers to compete the entire time as well.

With that said I hope Kevin wins!!

Can't stand Michael Chiarello and hated to see him as judge on this episode.

I'm still watching, so am bummed to hear Jen is gone. I wanted her, Brian, and Kevin in F3.

Kevin for the WIN!!! I hope the two brothers get THIS CLOSE and lose! :-)

Jennifer was robbed. While her one dish may have been too salty for some, Padma found Mike V's egg inedible. The bit about the fire going out is crap; they should judge solely on the food, not on what Tom saw in the kitchen. Her fire may have gone out, but she showed great resourcefulness in confiting the duck instead.

Two points....

While I do think the final four are most deserving I'm amazed that any of them can properly taste food!!! Do all chefs curse like Longshoremen??? I mean these are supposed to be professionals. Now don't get me wrong...I'm not a prude and let the curse words fly from time to time myself...But NEVER at work. I've noticed this throughout the season...but last night just really got to me with all the bleeping...at some points it was hard to follow what the person was saying due to the censors!! And not to mention that I might as well pack my bags if my parents were to hear me talk like that on national TV. I just think it's a very poor reflection on their charachters if they can't seem to get a simple sentence out without the use of the F Bomb. Blech!

Point two....and this is no spoiler just my own observation...I think the winner was telegraphed during last nights previews of next week. For those of you who have rewind capabilities...look at the order the final three are standing when the winner is announced...then pay attention to which direction Padma is looking. Again...just my own opinion.

Yup Brian, I noticed the exact same thing....unless that was a red herring and they filmed them standing there in different spots. I could tell exactly who she was looking at.

That's total misdirection. Bravo does that time and again... showing a closeup of where someone's looking. It doesn't usually pan out.

To do a spoiler, type:

\spoiler {your text here}

But don't put a space between the word spoiler and the first curly bracket.

Click below to view spoiler
Not positive of the line up but Mike V. is in the middle and when she says "you're the Top Chef" she's lookin straight ahead. Hence, I think Mike wins it.

Brian, hit the edit button and change the backward slash sign to a forward one.

It should be this \ and not /

The edit button is the E button next to the date of your post.

Jen was totally robbed! I agree that Bravo had an ulterior motive by keeping the two brothers together, and that's total bullsh... Michael should've gone home. I'd rather have a dish that may have been too salty than one that had raw egg looking up at me. And total BS about calling her out on the fact that the fire went out for the grill...

She was robbed. And now that I've watched the show, I'm going to be much less invested in it. Unless, of course, Kevin wins!!

BTW, I love how he just does the most simple dishes. Michael is full of snark about simple, but Kevin gets a lot of praise for just letting the ingredients speak for themselves. I would eat at Kevin's restaurant any day. I would stay far away from Michael's.
