I don't see why they wouldn't allow the winner to take the trip to Tokyo for the Olympics in 2021.

It might indeed happen then. It could depend on the contractual stuff with the sponsors providing the trip. I remember the last season of Project Runway Allstars the contract with the sponsors had expired by the time the season aired so the winners didn’t receive any of the prizes mentioned. 

[ShawnaLanne]

Yay, Kevin!

[Fostersmom]

I'm way over last chance kitchen. 

[ShawnaLanne]

Champagne Padma is awedome. I just bought her memoir on Audible, I need to get it started.

For American viewers, is the episode longer than 1 hour? It’s only an hour here in Canada, and I want to be careful what I say here, as I don’t want to spoil anything. 

[Fostersmom]

It's only an hour long.

When Malarkey first rolled his eyes—we are all MALARKEY!

[ShawnaLanne]

Malarky is obnoxious, but his making lemonade attitude is refreshing.

And really, as someone who was born in California and lived there for 20 years, I get what they're saying with California cuisine, but it really should be the Baja and Tijuana inspired Mexican food.

I loved that “Good God” moment by Malarkey about Kevin!

[catrice2]

I hate how they telegraph who is going home

 

[ProudMary]

I'm wondering why they specifically showed us--via a subtitle--Stephanie's check-out from Whole Foods where the cashier said "I'll put it all in one." So far we haven't seen anything missing.

[MerBearHou]

Bryan Vs dish is beautiful

[ShawnaLanne]

The problem at this point is I want everyone to progress. Okay, maybe except Malarky, I don't know how he's slid through.

[Ashforth]

Looks like Malarkey is going to step aside to save Gregory. If he does, I will feel completely justified in my Malarkey love.

[hula-la]

Ok, I was worried there. I don’t think I’ve ever been a student happy with a final group as I am with this group of chefs. 

[Sew Sumi]

Is there an episode thread?

Yes

[goofygirl]

I'm happy with the finalists.  Glad to see Malarkey go actually.  He's just too much IMO.

[FormerMod-a1]

Oh Bryan, hope you pull this one off, even if not for a win, at least do OK. 

[NowVoyager]

Omigosh. Soo worried about Gregory & his back. They keep highlighting it similar to the phone call home of death.

[goofygirl]

Love Italy!!!  Sooo  pretty!

What happened to Grregory's back exactly?

[SailorGirl]

okay, Tom needs to show up in that hat and scarf every. damn. day. 

I love how he went along on the truffle hunt -- judge or not, the man is a chef, and he wasn't going to miss that opportunity!! 

[VintageJ]

Loved seeing Stephanie’s reactions to Italy!  She’s giddy.

Yes! I've never been. *Swoon*

I think he just has a bad back & it's acting up. Maybe sleeping on that plane for, what, 10 hours? Stress plays a part, too. My back hasn't bothered me in years, now w/ the Corona it's bothering me a bit.

[NowVoyager]

Whaat? No chicken stock at the grocery for Melissa?

Stephanie & the phone call of death 🙄

[VintageJ]

I’m scared that just putting the truffles in the polenta may not be enough. You’re not highlighting the truffle. Stop making me so nervous Gregory!

[NowVoyager]

Soo.... everybody's white truffle dish is flawed? Except Brian's. Tough crowd.

[BlackberryJam]

Ugh...shut up Kevin. No one needs you to tell them to give each other a pep talk.

Except for Brian and Melissa, they all seemed to forget to highlight the truffle!

& you can't cook white truffle. I learned something today.

[NowVoyager]

Like a dagger to the heart 💔

[VintageJ]

Gregory NOOOOOO!

[MerBearHou]

Very, very, very unhappy.

Anyone watching tonight?

I am, I am!!  This Parma tour is fascinating.

[ProudMary]

Oh my God, I'm drooling! I want it all!

[buttersister]

Food porn in its natural state.

Could someone please tell Kevin Gillespie to stop referring to himself in the third person. Asshat on two continents.

[MerBearHou]

Top Chef has outdone itself in locale.  My gosh.

[Nordly Beaumont]

Oh, the part of the show where they get ax murdered!  When they showed that clip before the commercial, I thought she said aspergers and was very very confused.

[ProudMary]

That curing cellar was amazing! 

[buttersister]

These finalists are the luckiest ever.

[Fostersmom]

The last time I was at my local Italian deli, the little old Italian man I've decided is the owner had 3 new wheels of cheese he was getting ready to put out for display. The wheels are huge and he is maybe 5'5" and 120 pounds and pushing 80 years old. The woman behind me was watching him too and both of us were thinking the same thing, how was he going to move them from behind the counter to the cheese case. She said something about how much they must weigh and he showed us his muscles like Popeye! LOL! I haven't been there in a couple of weeks, maybe I'll go tomorrow. 

 

 

[Miss chi chi]

Gregory and Melissa are my faves, so not crazy about that preview with Melissa..

I thought Melissa said aspergers too!

[ProudMary]

What a beautiful kitchen too!

Totally agree!

[ProudMary]

All eight of these dishes look potentially fabulous!

[Miss chi chi]

I want to go to Italy so much right now. The Chicago condo I have been cooped up in with my husband and daughter has never felt less glamorous!!

[Fostersmom]

Melissa's dishes are always stunningly beautiful. They look so delicate and just gorgeous every single time. 

 

Oh shit, that was a horrible review of Bryan's dish. And leave it to Kevin to  be obnoxious with the cheese. 

[FormerMod-a1]

I'm worried for Bryan.  😕
