Tonight’s show was the last show leading up to the finals. Of course, that may not be so if they run any sort of clip show, or take a break so Fox can air a “special.” I think it is safe by now that the viewers on the west coast have seen the show air, so I don’t have to worry about being a spolier. It is down to Christina and Petrozza, with Corey being eliminated. Quite frankly, I thought the animosity between Corey and Christina would have done them in well before this point. In fact, I will “come clean:” I missed the show for several weeks due to a personal scheduling conflict and refuse to spend money in TiVo. Call me cheap, but I prefer “appointment viewing.”
In my opinion, Petrozza is the more deserving of the two based on overall career/point in life that he is in. I remember one season of Top Chef where there where it came down to a man who was slighly older and had been in the business and just had not gotten a “break,” and a very young upstart. They were awarded the position at Ramsey’s restaurant in the UK. The young guy won, went there and then quit because he didn’t think it was the right place to raise his family. Shouldn’t he have thought about that before agreeing to be on the show? The other contestant would have eaten that opportunity up. With Christina still a culinary student, would she prepared to make the leap?
Watch me be totally wrong about the outcome.
While I am a big believer in rewarding new talent, I feel really bad for people who are equally as good but who have put in the time towards their dream.
I should really talk. I wouldn’t make it one second in Hell’s Kitchen because everyone would get salmonella or Gordon Ramsey would think what I just cooked was so ghastly it really needed to be put out of its misery.
