Somewhere in prepping for the meal - don't know if it was chopping or what... I have it on TiVo for Maddy, but don't know if I'll be re-watching it with her.
It was nice to see Fabio getting some props...and Stefan to be taken down a peg...
I really thought it was going to be Hosea that went home though.....I am glad it wasn't
Looks like they all made pretty good dishes last night. Thought Stephan's smugness might cost him a spot in the finale. It came down to the two Euros. Arrevaderci Fabio - sad to see anyone go. Thought Jeff had a strong comeback there. Guess Carla's was better and goes home with a new car!
I just watched the episode. I can't believe Carla imploded when she'd been on such a roll, but that was her problem all season, that she freaked out at the wrong times and didn't follow her instincts. I felt so bad for her when she started crying, though
With Hosea and Stefan, it's sort of like the tortoise and the hare. Stefan was flashier, cockier, and showed off more all season, but Hosea was consistently good. I would've preferred seeing Carla win, but given the circumstances, I'm not disappointed with this outcome. I never would've predicted it at the start of the season, though. I figured he wouldn't even make the final three.
and....as cocky as Stephan was all season....he was very sweet to Carla, both in front of the judges and behind the scenes, when she started tearing up....
Yeah I never cared for Stephan too much until fairly recently. Worst possible outcome on the winner for me, Carla winning would have been great, Stephan okay too.
