Empirical proof of Top Chef contestant Carla's famous lineage
![]() |
It looks like a majority of commenters on yesterday's call for Top Chef season finale predictions pick (or at least want) Carla to win. So I figure it's as good as time as any to share this masterful Photoshop piece I have spent several minutes days working on.
After conducting several heavy, heady rounds of scientific research involving DNA alleles and many more of the things they talk about on CSI: Miami, I can definitively conclude that character actor Tony Todd and Didi Pickles (Tommy's mom from Rugrats) are the frontrunner's parents.
I still stand by my Stefan pick even though his dad is not Candyman.
The Season 5 finale airs on Bravo tonight at 10 p.m.
I'm sick about Chef's Market closing. I'll be there tomorrow. I like that the producers chose to bring back sous chefs from prior seasons, rather than the current one - there always seemed to be an element of sabotage with current cheftestants. Good to see Blais! Having said that, why is Fabio back as a judge? Hosea took the appetizer. Carla took the first course. Stephan took the second course, maybe? Hosea maybe takes the third course? Can he take it all??? Carla!!! I thought the pressure might get to her; sad to say I was right. Bad mistake on her dessert. Love the Gail eye roll/head shake towards Rocco! And her cleavage! My goodness. Did I mention that I love Gail? I do. Regardless of who wins, this has been a pretty good season.
Did Stephan really call Marcel a twat? And that wasn't bleeped? And then he went on to say that most people are? Wow. Hollywood loves a happy ending, so I guess the Hosea vitory isn't that big of a surprise - watching the review of the current season, I realized how much Stephan really acted like a ******d toward just about everybody. Still, I also would've loved to have seen Carla win, though she did win the car - so I don't feel too too bad for her. Yes Carla, you can compete with love!! Carla's cool. Wasn't Stephan an executive chef at Chez something or other during the season? Now he's the owner of Stephan's Catering? That was a fast turnaround. On to The Last Restaurant Standing clone on NBC, whatever it's called - Chopping Block? Based on the promos - meh. We'll see.
Worst. Finale. Ever.
