What I do, these days, however, is notice when something is mentioned a number of times. The whole Tortoise v Hare and "It's Not Who Slays Drago" thing seems meant to make a point (or just fuck with those of us who notice these things). The vegetarian thing was also brought up a few times (as has the line, "A caterer has never won this"). So I play around with it in my head. I'm a man of fantasy. Proud of it! And then if by a slim chance I am right, I look like a genius! If I am worng, I STILL look like a madman, so who cares?

Every random comment they make doesn't have to be foreshadowing of a big event. I find it so funny that people assume that these types of things are all "clues" as to what will happen in the end.

They don't necessarily foreshadow a big event. But Jamie's confessionals did foreshadow her boot (which would have been a complete surprise going into
that episode).
Stefan should win, but he's not perfect and if he were to somehow fuck up, I could see anyone else taking it, including Carla and Fabio. |

well, it if is a Fabio/Carla F2, that means both the baldies will go out next week.
didn't stefan say something early on about a euro winning american top chef? that could be foreshadowing -- it didn't have to mean for him. |

I think the editing foreshadows what will happen IN THAT EPISODE (obviously), but not in a 'macro' sense for the whole season...

I know that many judges on these shows have said that when an unexpected or unpopular contestant wins, they notice that the editors start to shift the focus or foreshadow, likely to lessen to blow or not make it a complete WTF moment. |

Sometimes shows defitantly foreshadow their winners and I think this season is just doing that. Stefan has been falling lately, or so the editing is leading us to belief. Not to mention Hosea mentions how badly he wants to beat Stefan at LEAST once an episode. Throw in Fabio's comments about how this entire competition lies on the final challange and how it doesnt matter how you do up till then as long as you get by is leading me to belief Stefan is going to fail miserably in the finals. Though Hosea's obsession makes me worried he'll be the one who beats him. So lets belief what someone else said earlier instead and Hosea gets to be Stefans sous chef and viciously sabotoges him instead with Hooty Hoo or Fabio winning. |

I mean there has been three story lines going on throughout the season.
-Battle of the Euros (Fabio/Stefan) (dragon/princess etc.) -Hosea taking on the head Euro (Stefan) -Carla is being underestimated. (Stefan is the front runner) It seems that with all these three storylines, Stefan will be in the finals. The question is who is going to join him, and which storyline will continue. |

Sadly, I'm convinced it's the Hosea/Stefan storyline that I'm going with.
 It's been mentioned just about every single week, sometimes more
than once and has since nearly the beginning of the series.

That afears me, as well. It just seems very odd that the editing and flavor are nearly a retread of Ilan v Marcel.

Hosea has been obsessed with Stefan since day one, well "the euro's" in general, doesn't mean he's going to be in the final two or
anything else. There just wasn't anything else about him to show, besides the Leah makeout thing which was boring because they are both boring. I hope he
gets knocked out 4th.

Seltzer3:
I like how you succinctly summarize those three storylines. I am going with you and the "any one of these three stories could continue." I want the suspense of a variety of possible outcomes. *bites nails* But I will add a FOURTH storyline: "It doesn't matter how good you've been. One bad dish could throw you out. This would allow Stefan to be out next and to not even get to compete in F2. I thought for a while that would be the outcome of last week and his overcooked salmon. Did you see how LOW Stefan was hanging his head there in between Hosea and Leah? He usually stands with his chin high and his chest puffed out. He was seriously taken down a notch at judge's table. (Hmm. With the last supper prior, I am hoping that the editors were not "hanging" Stefan between two theives. That would be pushing it way too far for me.) Anyway, I still think anything's possible, even a Hosea/Carla F2. But I do think it's more probably that it's a Stefan/anyone else F2. |

Being literally straightforward when making a dish wont make you stand out, especially in this type of competition.
Tell me 5 dishes that come to mind from past seasons that were classical and straightforward and I will give you five different foams from Marcel. I didnt think so. (dont you dare wiki it) im watching you

I remember that Cheeto thing that that one dude made out of the vending machine food.
I don't remember anything else anyone has ever done. (except of course that Marcel foamed everything) |

No, you're one of a few people. :)
Just pretend Fabio is a big black woman with an Italian accent. |
