Top Chef Season 5: Let's hear your predictions for tomorrow night's finale

I've had a blast writing about Top Chef New York here on Meal Ticket. It's a little sad, but also exciting, to think that it'll all be over come tomorrow night. (At least until Season 6 starts ... Vegas is the rumor.)

The Season 5 recaps have garnered some great response from Top Chef fans, so why stop now? Tell me who's going to take it, Meal Ticketers — Grouchy Finnish arm-crosser Stefan? Lovable hippie-dip caterer Carla? Seafood-searing novelty T-shirt mannequin Hosea?

I've already put my prediction out there. Share yours — and any salacious spoiler-riffic rumors you might've heard — in the comments.

Stefan had been my pick from the beginning, though I'd be pleased to see Carla win.

CARLA CARLA CARLA! Screw Fabrizio's boyfriend and his Finnish/German/Austrian/Swiss eel splicing antics! And Hosea? come on - stop shakin' in your shorts and let the real chef serve me up some perfect peas for my final meal. You're goin' down boys.

Two laid back bald guys - even when one is Mean-ass Rammstein guy- work against each other. Carla is b-b-bugged out. She seems to have a deeper appreciation for the game and a love of the culinary process. She wins. 

Or is schitzel for everybody.

Carla! She has the personality and the taste to be the Top Chef. I have no idea why Hoser is even in the finale...

I heard a rumor that Carla was in the NPR studios yesterday. Maybe because she won? I hope so. Hootie-Hoo.



Also, if Hosea wins, I will vomit.

I reallllllllly hope it's Carla!  Remember when Padma said during the first episode that, historically the winner of the first elimination round of the first episode has gone on to win it all?  Not this time, please.  (Stefan won that first episode).

I still don't understand how Hosea has gotten to the end. When you know, almost for sure, that one person simply doesn't have what it takes, then a little of the suspense is lost in the final showdown. I think, any ways.

My prediction: In a surprise move, the producers bring Fabio back citing the fact that he is "just too fucking cute for words." Fabio takes it all.



That, or Stefan owns it.

As long as Hosea doesn't win I'm happy. Stefan is extremely talented and Carla is just great, she grew on me as well.  This wasn't too strong of a season anyway, the best part was reading your hysterical recaps every week.  DiDi Pickles is stil the best!
