So, it’s finally Becky’s turn. She knows that she’s gotta hope that she’s better than DareDevil, because Josh is the obvious winner right now. 

Ew, gross! People eat these?!?

So, Bastage tastes first. He asks her if she’d have chosen frog legs for herself. She says no. Bastage says they are pretty good, well cooked, and that her side salad is ok, but her potatoes are soggy. It seems like she’d have been better off leaving the taters off. Gordie has more praise for her. He says he’d not have believed she’d never cooked frog legs before. Teddy echoes the same. Soggy taters. 

This is tough. It seems like Becky did a great job with probably the toughest ingredient, and one she’d never cooked before, and DareDevil did a great job with the easiest ingredient. Josh is clearly through. I know you guys hate Becky and all, and I’m gonna vilify myself by saying this, but personally I think DareDevil should probably be going home here.

So, the results…well. Josh wins the round, and is in the final. We all knew that. Mr. Second Chance is on to the final. I kind of hate that. I mean, a lot. I’m tired of the whole “every single dish counts, one bad dish could send you home,” and then here comes Josh back into the competition. Everyone that lost after him should’ve had a shot at redemption, too. But, of course, this isn’t about being fair. Heaven forbid three pretty white girls in a row won a reality cooking show…people might think it was rigged!!

Well, the person facing off with Josh in the finale is…wait for it….

Yeah, three’s a crowd. This is an A & B competition, Becky, so why don’t you C yourself out. 

Becky, it turns out, was undone by soggy potatoes. Gordie asks her what’s next. She tells him she’s gonna go home and try to find a restaurant she can work in and make her way along. Gordie tells her that he’s got a few restaurants, and his doors are open to her wherever she wants, be it US or Europe. Assuming he’s telling her that he’ll give her work, that’s not a bad deal, right? Go work in a restaurant in Paris for a few years. That should ease the pain of losing so close to the end, right? 

Alas, goodbye, Pony. I can’t offer you a restaurant in Chicago, but I could definitely offer you a customer in a restaurant in Chicago.

    I’m rooting for Christine, she’s been there from the beginning and gone through every challenge, on the other had Josh was kicked off and then came back. I don’t feel someone who was eliminated and then just all of a sudden comes back and wins should be the Top Chef. MO

    My 2 ponies in the finale! yay!
    Though I hope Christine wins, since he’s back Josh is kind of so full of himself, I just can’t take him anymore.

    Since frog legs look like the bottom half of little people, I could never bring myself to eat them.

    Team DareDevil!

    @Sheesh, hahahahah!

    I know I’m a gustitirial outcast since I don’t like frog legs (well, the idea of eating them) and I’m not a pickle fan.

    But there it is. I’m sure that the tiny amphibians are tasty, but the idea just creeps me out.

    Um, I’ll have the fishwich and fries. Hold the pickle.

    @ssc!!! Don’t you live in or very near to the frog leg capital of the United States? That would be like living in Louisiana and not liking crawfish. I suppose it happens … but, still.

    No no no, @Crank. Frog legs are what we all look like in shorts. Not’s what’s on the menu.

    Is it wrong that I’m so glad it wasn’t Becky in the final? OUt of Josh and Christine, I’d like to see Christine win. She just seems like a nice person.

    @Crankyguy – try being the Cajun born in Baton Rouge ALLERGIC to crawfish (and every other water critter) – yep, sucks to be me. Love crab boil seasoning though.

    @Leto – YAY! My two ponies, too! I was sad to see Josh leave, and even though I’m not a big fan of “come-back” scenarios, Becky has just driven me crazy, so her leaving is A-OK with me. That being said – Daredevil for the win!

    @Dangerously – thank you for the Whitney picture. I miss her. :(
