Top Chef - Season 1 vs Season 2

OMG! What a shocker! I tuned in to see season 3 and was met with a All 4 Star challenge pitting the final four from Season 1 against the final 4 from season 2! This is like going out to dinner with your ex girlfriend and your current girlfriend!

Nice to see all the contestants made it back, although LeAnne was replaced by Stephen as she is now a producer on Top Chef! Dave is a bigger douche than Stephen or Marcel in my opinion, I can't stand him.

The fact that both Stephen and Marcel, the two antagonists in their respective series seems a little bit of coincidence. Also, isn't it a bit of a disappointment that both previous winners failed to win the challenge?

Harold looks way too intense! He actually looked like he was planning on how to dump Padma's body when she was announcing the ingredients for the elimination challenge!

It's so weird seeing Stephen and Ilan on the same show! It's freaking me out! It's like they have no right to be sharing the same space at the same time!

I'm not feeling Elia's new look.

I'm rooting for Season 2, I like them all. From Season 1 I only like Harold.

Woah! Season 3 judging the challenge!

I reckon Season 1 have taken it with ease, the judges didn't seem to dig Season 2's offerings.

Damn, the two previous Top Chef's got slated! They were probably the worst dishes of the whole challenge!

Season 1 laid the smackdown on Season 2 big style.

Top Chef Finale

Thoughts from the season 1 finale as I viewed it:

It was very noble of Stephen to say he wanted to work for Tiff because he knew (and we knew) that Dave was going to pick Harold as his chef.

Dave is rather annoying and very ungracious. I'm not sure when Tiff actually abused him so much for him to feel so strongly against her. I felt sorry for Tiff because it was obvious her team was not backing her 100%.

Dr Melfi from the Sopranos is one of the judges!

Oh no! Dave did all the desserts and the judges loved that the best about Tiffani's menu!

Why do Americans

Damn! Tiff did some serious lying about the desserts! She said she had some input in the desserts but we all know that Dave did them all! Booooo! As if she ever had a chance of winning anyway!

As the program reaches it conclusion, I am disliking Tiffani more, she is actually quite ungracious!

Harold wins! No surprise there! Funnily enough I picked both Tiffani and Harold as potenital stars and they made it to the final. LeeAnne deserved to be in the final three though.

The catchphrase "Please pack your knives and go" is really lame!
