Season 21: Episode Live Chat

[ProudMary]

My fingers are crossed for Savannah to advance. Laura served undercooked fish. I hope that gets her sent home.

[Bastet]

I hope Savannah gets her A game back in a hurry!  I'm glad Savannah survived, as I'd have been even more bummed had she lost, but I'm still really bummed about Laura.

Savannah can win this but she better get her groove back. No more playing scared.

[Straycat80]

Yes!  Savannah made it! Ah, Kristin is so sweet to be so happy for everyone.

Ask me how much I loved Kristin saying, X you’re top chef

Watching the preview on the opening makes me excited to watch the finale.   I love seeing Emeril.     I'm hoping they all do well, unlike last weeks fish disaster.   

Sous chefs-Dan with Amanda, Danny with Manny, Savannah with  Michelle.   I loved seeing Laura Kaleena and Soo, and hope they enjoyed their cruise. 

I didn't realize Gail is an executive producer, I knew Tom has been for a long time.    I can't wait to see all of the guest judges. 

I love seeing Emeril, and love he's a judge.     The breakfast is so emotional, and lovely. 

I'm glad the kitchen looks like a full commercial kitchen this time.

Not that she was picked as sous by any of the finalists, but I'm surprised Kaleena came back to the show. 

[buttersister]

Savannah and Michelle!

Hope the chefs will be happy with their cooks-what they make;-)

Rooting for Savannah. Also really liked Kristen as the new host, I never was a Padma fan. 

[ProudMary]

I'd have chosen Soo over Manny as a sous chef. 

I'm hoping Savannah wins the title.

I'm having difficulty with the site. Not what I wanted during the TC finale!

[Pandora]

I loved Savannah’s fangirl reaction to Emeril.

Actually watching all the chefs squee was great. It’s one of the things I love about the show, watching the chefs meeting these culinary icons. They’re so cute!

[ProudMary]

I wonder how much seasickness has played a part. Last week Savannah mentioned that they needed ginger. I just noticed that Danny was wearing a scapalomine patch behind his ear.

I love Kristen's look!

I thought the same thing. But at least now it doesn’t look like the ship is moving. And I question why they picked Aruba and a cruise ship. It didn’t seem like they could get the ingredients they wanted for their dishes. 

[ProudMary]

It's hard to tell so far, but maybe Dan is in the lead?

[CrazyInAlabama]

I love the clothes on the judges, Kristen, Gail, and the judge with the one shoulder black dress look spectacular.  

Danny's undercooked lobster sounds awful. 

I love that right after the final cooking time is up, the chefs are all hugging each other. 

Tom looks so happy for once.    

Kristen did a wonderful job. 

Congratuations to the chefs and their sous chefs.  

I love Tom's speech to the finalists at the end. 

Congratulations to Top Chef Danny

Have Dan and Amanda missed a beat? I don’t think so.

[Straycat80]

I think Dan and Amanda are in the lead right now. Danny and Savannah have had criticisms. 

[ProudMary]

It seems pretty clear that Dan's the winner. The judges liked everything he prepared.

[Thumper]

Savannah seemed kind of choked up during Judges Table — as if she knew she would not win.  Or maybe that there were some “misses.”  Felt bad for her.

Danny? Didn’t see that coming. Thought it would be Dan. I’m shocked.

He had the better cook.   Danny's menu was more forward looking and innovative

[Thumper]

Awww, Danny in tears — so sweet.  

[TakomaSnark]

Pretty shocked, the judging edit seemed to really favor Dan.

[susannot]

I thought Danny would win since Day 1.  Love him.

[snarts]

I was rooting hard for Savannah but Danny's menu/vision was a higher level. 

Hope his restaurant still moves forward despite James Kent's recent death.
