Nice contestants finish first
I think its refreshing that the most skilled three chefs (Richard Stephanie, and Antonia) also appear to be decent human beings. The once exception was Dale, who was arrogant as all get out, but seemed to be a much better chef than Lisa or Spike (as others have pointed out).

Wow
I know the comments on this would be worth the price of admission, and was I right (that's not a rhetorical question-was I?)
