I’m really behind on Top Chef, so here are my finale predictions before I watch the final episode!
2. Joseph Flamm- Only two people have come back from Last Chance Kitchen and won: Brooke Williamson, one of the best chefs ever on the show (and on an All-Star type season) and Kristen Kish, who was unfairly eliminated in Restaurant Wars and was a front runner the entire time. Joe could become the third to do so, but his journey has been pretty consistent, and not a huge focus of the season, so I think he’ll finish just short of the prize.
1. Adrienne Cheatham- Adrienne was someone I predicted to be eliminated over and over again in the opening weeks, but since then, she’s really surprised me and amazed me. Her growth is some of the best of any contestant in recent memory. She was so low in the beginning, only to become one of the most consistently good performers in the last few episodes. She’s at the peak of her skills in this competition, and I really think it’d be great to see her win it all. It’s always good to be proven wrong, and Adrienne has done it all season. At this point, I’m rooting for her.
This is surely not the finale I would’ve ever expected. Since the beginning, flashier characters like Joe Sasto, Chris, Bruce, and Carrie dominated the game. But here we have two underdogs: Joe from Last Chance Kitchen, and Adrienne, the underdog from the start. Who will win?
