Top Chef Mid-Season Review

Big Green is in Green. AP is in Blue.

Ariane

Ariane is a Jersey Mom with cooking chops and the only contestant with a tan in winter. She made good turkey.

I just can't picture someone so Jersey winning this.

Carla

She is tall and strange and heartwarming. She says "whooly who" in the supermarket to find her husband.

Wildcard, Bitches! Her quirkiness, and positivity has won me over.

Fabio

Fabio is so obviously charming. Seems talented, and to embrace most charming italian stereotypes. Still the silly italian music Bravo plays when he talks is pretty offensive. Ravioli.

He's going to come in second place and say something about being Italian.

Hosea

AP calls him something, but I forget. Anyway, he seems pretty talented and genuine, except for those s'mores with what looked like snot or ejaculate on top.

I call this guy Jorax. Not really a fan, seems a bit whiney and honestly I don't like the Stefan hating.

Jamie

All scallops, all the time.

Maybe it's the way Bravo edits her but she's another whiner. Hopefully she'll go home next week after cooking another scallop.

Jeff

Jeff is windswept. I want him to kick some ass b/c he seems skilled and a really hard worker/leader, but hasn't wowed my visual 'buds yet.

He'll come in third place or I guess kind of a second place tie with Fabio since they usually pick the winner from the final three. He's the non-italian second place.

Leah

Leah wins a lot. Should be in the finals.

I like her more each episode. I think/hope she will be in the final four with Jeff, Fabio, and Stefan. She's good.

Radhika

Radhika is solid, but should take more risks, so I can remember anything she cooks.

Who's Radhika? Um I don't really know. She seemed a little pissed when they said they were going to 'borrow' Indian food from her culture in the Something New, Old, Borrowed, Blue episode. I liked that.

Stefan

Stefan is cocky as hell. He's like a shiny bald french bullet come to take the title.

He's going to win. He's obviously the one to beat. He has a pack of haters following him around.
