Who was the best chef on last night’s episode? Jamie. Did she win? No. Top Chef contestant Jamie seems to be a bridesmaid but never a bride. She has been a runner up in numerous Quickfire and Elimination challenges but winning seems to elude her. I’ve talked about Jamie, in a post before, as a possible winner of Top Chef. You can read that post here.
Wednesday’s Top Chef started with the Quickfire challenge. The chefs had to taste dishes and identify the different ingredients in them. Stefan and Hosea blew past the competition to become the final two. And in head to head battle, Hosea won, much to the dismay of competitor Stefan.
The Elimination challenge was a good one. The chef’s had to design dishes for Gayle Simmons’ Bridal shower. A good challenge, that ended up putting a little added pressure on the chefs. They did not want to mess up such an important day for a judge.
The team that preformed the worst was Eugene, Carla and Daniel. Daniel was by far the worst offender according to the judges, almost as if he had no taste buds. He even added badly flavored mushrooms to his teammate’s dish, Carla, with out her Okaying it. I agree with Daniel going home, he was by far the weakest chef in this challenge and was not very good in others.
What I did not agree with was the judge’s choice for winner. They picked the team of Radhika, Jamie and Carla as the best. The team was lead by Jamie, the concept of the dishes were her idea and the judges lover her dish. So the winner was Jamie right? Wrong, the winner was Carla for her well cooked lamb. What makes this even more surprising is she missed judged the cook time of the lamb. She caused her well oiled team to scurry around and have little time to plate. Yet she still took home the win.
Now I am not saying that I don’t like Carla. She has already improved in the few weeks the show has been on. I’m sure her lamb was well cooked, even though it almost was served raw. I am just feeling bad for Jamie. She keeps coming so close to a win, but the bullpen keeps blowing her lead. It will be interesting to see, in the following weeks, if she can start closing out her wins. Thanks for reading and please comment below if you have any opinions of the show.
