I don't know where I've been but I just found this show last Saturday. Luckily, they've been having marathons, so I've been able to catch up a little on the season. It's a great show. I'm rooting for Antonia.

Behind you! Boo.
I like Antonia too. The show is great, but all the product placement is a little much. "Let's wrap that up in some GLAD CLING WRAP before we take the FORD TAURUS to WHOLE FOODS along with our NOKIA CELL PHONES!"

:roll:

And I'm rooting for Stephanie, personally. I'd settle for Antonia winning without grumbling, though. :)

I like Stephanie too but I'd be happy with Antonia.

I was really bummed that Dale got sent home last week...I liked watching his little tantrums. :D

This season has been sort of tame except for the catfights between Dale and whaterface...can't remember her name.

The Whiner, I call her. "I've been sabotaged!" LOL

Everyone has been very professional, overall.

I too like Antonia, and wouldn't mind Stephanie winning, or the mohawk dude.

Yeah, I like Stephanie, too. Dale was entertaining but started getting on my nerves, lol. The mohawk dude is ok, too, but I really want Antonia to win.

Spike is a weird guy.

Had nothing on Andrew, though. Whoa. That guy needs to lay off the Red Bull or something...

I've been watching too! I'm rooting for Stephanie (although Antonia's cool too). It will be interesting to see how she stacks up against Richard.

I hope Lisa goes soon. Her whining is getting really annoying, but at least she doesn't have Dale to fight with anymore.

Andrew is so bizarre. I didn't realize how slimy Spike was until the boxed lunch challenge.

Spike's an ass but I can't hate him, even with those stupid hats. He's my favorite now that Mark and Andrew are gone. Was never a big fan of Dale but I don't like Lisa either. They can get rid of her anytime now. Also there is something porcine about Richard's features. And his fauxhawk bugs me.

I'm betting on a Stephanie, Spike, Richard and Antonia final four.

Lisa! That is her name. Thanks! And yeah, that was slimy and weird of Spike. Stupid marketing ploy that served no purpose. *shakes head*

Not sad at all to see Spike gone. They could've kicked Lisa off as well, I would've been happy. I wouldn't mind any of the top 3 winning, they all seem pretty cool. This might be the most likable group in the finals since I started watching, even with Lisa there.

On a side note... Antonia would get the business. I would so wife her. Man oh man...

I got sucked into a marathon last night. My only gripe is that I can't taste the food! How am I supposed to know who to root for if I have no idea what their food tastes like? I'm not sure they thought this through 100%...

I have to say, Spike impressed me with his mad butchering skillz on the quickfire. I'm not surprised by the final four, but I still think Lisa is by far the weakest out of them. What is up with her attitude, anyway?

I'm rooting for either Stephanie or Antonia to win. It will be fun to see what Richard whips up with his science lab, though.

richard's smoke dishes are nothing on a previous season's (i forgot his name) foams. lol! i'm sure he'll be back with it but his smoker died on one episode.

What is up with her attitude, anyway?
the judges made a point of saying they can't make a decision on one's personality or whether they like them or not. they treat the chef's like artists and allow them to have quirks.

but lisa has no chance anyway. she is the weaker of the three.
richard will not win b/c it's the year of the woman chef.

a woman will win on hell's kitchen as well.

I thought it might be Lisa to go home, because I definitely think she's weaker than Spike. However, I was all right with Spike going home, too. I hope Antonia wins it all, but I won't be disappointed if Stephanie wins.

I'm sick of Lisa's attitude but she is by far the weakest of the final four.

I'm still rooting for Stephanie.

I'd like to see either Richard or Stephanie, because they've been consistently good from the beginning of the season, AND they seem like decent people, which is refreshing. I like Antonia, who got off to a slow start but seems to have learned from her mistakes and has been holding her own.

Lisa has been consistently at the bottom rung, and so has Spike. One of them had to go. Although I think Spike is a lot more entertaining to watch (and who knew he'd look so good in a suit?) I think Spike made a lot of bad choices throughout the show, and it finally turned around and chomped him in the ass.

Lisa will be the next one gone, unless she really manages to do some amazing dishes now that she doesn't have Dale and Spike to snark at.

Oh, and I want more Bourdain at the judge's table.

Spoiler alert:














I am so mad. I can't believe they sent Antonia home over Lisa. Ugh. So, now, I'm officially rooting for Stephanie.
