Top Chef 6: Blogs and Predictions

I’m a fan of the Bravo show Top Chef.

Just discovered that head judge Tom Colicchio has a blog about the show and posts after each episode. To my surprise and delight, his posts are authentic and insightful, giving us fans something to tie us over until the next episode. Great job Bravo for the show blogs! And great blogging Tom!

Now for some predictions.

My sister has posited in past seasons that you can guess who the eventual winner is based on how often the producers interview the cheftestants (love that word). I’m talking about those short reality TV interviews within the episodes. As for my sister’s theory — maybe. I wonder if anyone has counted up the mini cheftestant interviews to see if the theory is correct. In any case, that theory is in the back of my mind every time the cheftestants do their reality show interview.

My guess is the final 3 will come down to Bryan, Mike V., and Jen. Kevin and Mike I. are strong candidates too, but don’t see them as strong as the three I’ve picked.

In the beginning, I thought Mike V. was the strongest, then I switched my bet to Bryan. But now, I think Jen is going to be the eventual winner. She seems to be the most consistently exceptional. Plus, she’s got a lot of interview time. ;)

PS: If you haven’t been watching, you can catch a few episodes of Top Chef on Hulu. Unfortunately, Bravo only allows a couple episodes on at a time, and not every episode gets on Hulu. Boo. +1 to Bravo (really, NBC) for the blogs, -1 for the Hulu decision.
