Top Chef Season 3
apskip:
Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons are doing their contestants a big favor, planned am I sure, to acclimate them to Aspen during the finals of TopChef3 so that the winner will have less of a disadvantage against his/her competitors in the later Aspen Food and Wine Festival.

Dale - What is he doing here? He pulls out his first victory in the Elimination Challenge and makes it to the final competition. Can he do this twice in a row? I don't think so.
Hung - The master of technical chef skills reminds me of Marcel without Marcel's charm. Both work at Guy Savoy Restaurant in Las Vegas and both have been rightly viewed by all the other contestants as obnoxious. Hung has great talent but I do not like him. I hope he loses next week.
Casey - She is the darling of the competition. She is sound put not polished. She is going to have to be inspired and lucky to win. My guess is that she will be.

Couldn't of said it better myself. :tup:

I don't believe Dale belongs there and I question letting 3 people compete, a complete change for the other 2 seasons. It does seem to me that it has been set up for Casey to win, Hung as 2nd place.
I wonder how much we have not seen because of editing. I did get to see both of the last episodes while traveling, and I thought it was an unfair comment to tell Hung that he didn't have anything of himself in his elk dish. HUH? ???
I believe Hung said he hadn't ever cooked elk while Casey was familiar with it and yet her meat was raw and not cooked properly where Hung's dish was. That was the main ingredient, I thought that should have been a black mark against her, but I also thought that it was fair for Brian to go and they kept 3 for finalists and she does belong there much more so than Dale.
I also (kinda) don't blame Hung for not helping the others, they have never helped him in the past when he could have used some assistance and even if he had helped them, would they have given him any appreciation? Doubt it.
In past seasons, the winner was outstanding from early on, can't say that this year. I'm pulling for Hung, but believe Casey will win.

Texas Lady, you just made an argument for why Casey should not have been in the Final 2 if that existed. If there were only 2 chefs going forward to the Final Finals, then Casey would have bitten the dust and it would be Hung vs. Dale. In essence it would be a variation of what happened last year when Ilan snuck in and shouldn't have been there.

I agree that Ilan never should have been there, he was a one trick pony and his lack of skills showed this year in the season1 vs season 2 challenge.
I would NOT be happy to see Dale in a final 2, but he wouldn't be able to pull off a winning performance. I'm confident of that. I still am puzzled by having a final 3. (If I make no sense.. I'm just getting back from my trip and have jet lag.) :wall:
