AGAIN, Richard GAVE the entire prize, he didn't offer to share: After they give the prize: Stef: We can share it Richard: Its yours. Even from BRAVO: "Ultimately, the bride's team shined, giving Richard the win (which he later gave to Stephanie for her cake attempt.)" http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/4/episodes/index.php?e=episode_9 The man did a nice deed and DIDNT take it back, so I say give him credit for it!

If that's what you read out of that, Dave, then I fear for the future.

So... we're not supposed to offer our opinions on the rankings then? How interactive.

I'm actually enjoying this season much more than I did last season in Miami. Although there's a bit of a bias since I actually have someone to cheer for this year, I think that not only has the drama been better, most of the food has looked spectacular.

As much as I hate Antonia for her attitude trip when it came to my beloved Polish sausage, I agree that she's had a couple of really good weeks. Celery: Thanks, it was original, born out of the monotony of the start of another week.

The rankings are as they are, Dave. Antonia has been more consistent than Steph in recent weeks, so her second-place showing in this week's rankings is no accident.

UTV: If that was original, it was definitely comment of the week.

I mostly agree, although I'd switch Stephanie and Antonia in the rankings. Richard has a habit of getting overconfident, so there's still hope for a Stephanie win, but this season's drama has been largely deflated. Previews make it seem like this week's could be fun, even if Spike or Lisa is bound to go home.
