Top Chef Finale (spoiler alert)

I'm not going to post the winners name but put spoiler in the headline just in case someone else does post the winner in this thread. The reason for my post is to simply express my disappointment in who ultimately won. I was so hoping for the other person and have been from very early in the season. Oh well, it isn't the end of the world Smiley Happy

The judges should be ashamed of themselves for their decision. However, that said I think the decision was more gender oriented that talent oriented so the winner was more or less preordained (again).

Since there is spoiler in the title will someone please share who won? I purposely did not watch in case Nasty Nicholas won. If he won I won't bother watching. I don't think he should have been in the finale at all!

I'm with you, OP. It seemed to me that Tom Colicchio made up his mind who he wanted to win and that was that. I can't fathom a Top Chef who can't seem to find the salt shaker or who shouts at the wait staff during service, obviously making some of the diners uncomfortable. Emeril, Hugh, and Padma didn't seem impressed, either.

I was disappointed in the decision, too. That person was my least favorite of the final 4. I know not everyone agrees, but I think they should factor in overall performance for the run of the show when they make the final choice.

I think they should do some type of points system all season long to determine the final winner, in which case Shirley should have won. But the way they do it now, the way the rules stand, the winner had the better meal on the final show, and that's why he/she won.

Yeah I 'll tell you It was: Nasty Nicholas. That jerk. I couldn't stand him and it was his fault that blonde girl got the boot! I was so mad and I agree he shouldn't have even been in the finale.
