Oh man, I was so afraid that Lisa would out-do Wendy Pepper and win the damn thing.

Whew.

I really had a moment of terror when they said Stephanie's name -- I was afraid they were going to go 3-2-1.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just screamed out loud at Top Chef. At the top of my lungs.

Because books.

Me, too, Jesse.

Instead, I actually BOUNCED ON THE BED. So happy.

Did you guys guess that the sous chefs wouldn't be around the next day? I did - and I'm happy that that was the "twist." I am also very pleased that they actually required them to make dessert.

Anyone want to lay bets on the sadistic editing elves at Bravo for editing the comments to make it look like Lisa would win? Because there was a moment there when I was absolutely sure she would. NEVER been so happy to be wrong, or more happy for who pulled out the win. Of the final three I wanted (i.e. Dale or Antonia), much as I grew to like Richard, I really wanted it to be Stephanie. So pleased they brought back some of the other cheftestants - Dale looked really happy for his homegirl.

Yes, the editing absolutely had me thinking that Lisa had totally pulled it off.

However, she had the pedestrian and poorly cooked 3rd course.

Man, I thought that Stephanie had done well with her 2nd course until Tom mentioned the leeks. Then, I was afraid she was screwed.

And why make a dessert that is of a sort you don't even like to eat? And that you've only made once? That really worried me.
