It's the end, and the chefs are cooking the meal of their life. Each chef is given a celebrity sous-chef (one of them being my chef boyfriend, Eric Ripert) and set to work. The episode is kind of a blur to me, and kind of a letdown. Ultimately I felt that -- surprise -- Lisa should not have been there. It might be my issue with the judging. I think I just prefer that the chefs are judged as a whole - not per challenge. In that case, Dale should have clearly been in the top three. I really can't get over Lisa making it so far.
There isn't too much to say. Stephanie won, and I would have been pretty happy with either Richard or Stephanie as the winner, but ultimately I felt that Richard dominated the entire season. So in the end Stephanie wins, Richard chokes, and Lisa flies off into the sunset on her broom, with your little dog too. eh.
