This is a strange group of "Head" chefs. Seems that most have no clue what some food items are. Not knowing what any pasta is really makes them look stupid. A head chef needs to know what food is what. How can they prepare it properly if they don't know the food? For me, there is no chef that stands out. I was expecting much more from a group of "HEAD" chefs. What a letdown!! Pick some cooks from the line that deal with simple stuff like Waffle House. Look what that chef did all on her own. She knew what she was doing!!!! Makes me look at head chefs in a different light!!!

I noticed right off how out of shape most of these chefs were. They must taste test their food at a great rate. Gordon will have to pick some punishments that don't require any body quality.

I fell out of the loop on the medical condition of Dr. Jeff. I did some research yesterday and learned he passed on 2/15/2024. What a blow to the care of the pets of low income people! Who is running the clinic now? I hope it is Petra. She is the most qualified and seems to work under the same standards of Jeff. I hope his work ethic continues in all the vets he has trained over the years. Sadly NatGeoWild won't work in all markets. I get my cable thru Spectrum and they dropped NatGeoWild last year from their lineup. So no NGW for me.

Thank you. At least now I know I am not going crazy. He just didn't have h blue hair. He seemed to do some good cooking!!

I hope someone can answer a question for me. I watched the show last night (8/20/24). The person who won was named Cody. I swear I have seen him in other competitions but I can't recall where. Is my brain fooling me???

Spectrum dropped NatGeoWild several months ago. That means I have had np way to watch any of the last Doc Pol episodes. Can't even access any ondemand, what a croc of BS!!!!

Spectrum dropped NatGeoWild from their line-up. They kept NatGeo. That means I can't see Dr. Pol and the other vet shows that NGW aired. The same goes for Animal Planet. That network was sold (sorry right now I can't remember the purchaser). The new owner completely demolished the lineup. They dropped all the vet shows along with Pit Bulls & Parolees. The shows they kept are just crappy and I no longer even watch AP. I learned so much about animals from the shows that are no longer available.

I have to say I happy that this season is finally over. I have watched Top Chef since the first season. I was so totally underwhelmed by this crew. There wasn't one chef that inspired me in any way shape or form. I could care less about who ended up winning. Please pick a better crew for the next season!!!

Manny is still there because he always manages to be in the middle, not the top and not the bottom. To be honest I wish he was gone. He has shown little to me.

I know I am one lone person that does not like or eat fish. This episode did nothing for me other than make my decision to not eat fish a good one. Since a kid I never liked fish of any kind. Never liked the smell texture or mouth feel. I would rather eat raw beef than any fish. That is just me. I know there are plenty of folks who love fish. I am just not one of them. This works great for me. I fix fish for my husband and steak for me and we are both very happy!!!!

I really didn't like the new format they are now using for RW. It has become a shell of what it was originally.In stead of cutting back on what is needed, try expanding it into a two episode instead of one. It has been turned into who can cook the most good dishes. Other things matter no more. I have watched every RW and have seen the quality drop. How can they call it a war when it is not a war any more??

Kind of happy that Zach did not win. His attitude really bothered me. He seemed too ignore what the judge told him about editing himself. He seemed to feel that he knew better than the judges. For me, I want to see ALL cooking competitions to be judged by blind tasting EVERY ONE.

I certainly hope that for season 2 they drop the most over used statement ever, how this was something never done before and how tired all the chefs were. This got so old so fast!!!! They have to make changes for season two, like blind tasting. All these chefs know each other. How can they not let personal feelings sway their decision. I really like the shows that have BLIND tasting, making things more fair. They must come up with 24 more chefs that do not have a personal connection with any of the judges. Feature more unknowns. I am getting tired of seeing the same chefs on show after show after show!! Let the young blood shine!!! To be honest, I really wasn't cheering for any of the two finalists. I remember Marcel from Top Chef where he was a complete A##. Never saw Carlos and I never could warm up to his attitude. OK people can change over time but memories linger from their past. I think the problem is that right now there are far too many competitive shows. The pool of talent gets very diluted over time just from over exposure.

For me this was a very weak RW. They have changed the format so much that it is no longer what it used to be. Now it all goes to how well the front of the does and that is that. This RW was very dull and had no challenge.

Happy about the winner. For some reason I could not reach out and like Zach to win. His hair do just drove me crazy. He had issues with trying to edit what he was doing and that is what did him in. He was told many times to learn ow to edit himself. For whatever reason he could not do that. Was it ego or what. Who knows. Happy with the winner!!!
