Those would put their count off the other direction as in 14 missing instead of 10. That's why I think it was a goof on 2 in medical

MCC had 2 in medical so count for Chang & Pen may be off bc they are still counting Suzanne & other girl as not in main prison. Now it makes them bad at math but, in heat of moment nobody has put that puzzle together. I've worked in this type field & can see a state prison doing it so would bet MCC could too

Waxman is the one I was thinking of, his was only season hubby watched & rooted for & I've noticed he's on several shows

Thanks, it looked like something bad had happened.

Does anyone know what her arm scar is? They zoomed in on it a few times this season & it was odd.

You have to go back to Brooke's lows & Toms consistent defense even when outvoted to keep her. Passivema argued vehemently the week before she actually leaves to send her then. So she was clearly a Tom favorite before finale.

This! To me that was when I stopped rooting for Brooke, I could care less about personality as I love Voltaggio.

I didn't study win charts but her wins turned to lows around parfait. And any other contestant that would have served that by itself would have hit the door that night. Had she left when deserved, could she have still pulled off lck? As she really only had to win that once. It's ironic they wanted her to share her…

And Carla. She gets more FN time. Ooooo and that heavyset older guy on TC masters gets around a lot but his name escapes my memory

Top chef contestants made several appearances on that 1 season home cook face off with professionals. (It was so forgettable I think it only had 1 season anyway) and top chef Marcus (?) was made judge on the one bite show & Ramsey brings in TC guests bc I love Voltaggio & have seen him on most of his guest judging…

Pork belly has a lot more flavor than short ribs. I'm sure it would have still been good, but flavor would have been lost. Pork belly has high fat, keeping it juicy whereas ribs you'd have to keep from drying out too much, belly by default adds juice to beans. It's also naturally saltier than ribs. So less guesswork…

She was strong first half but she begin to hit bottom more than once around 1/2 way point & judges argued cases for her leaving at least 2 times before Tom lost his case & sent her packing.
And Tom produces another show for same network so it's a safe assumption he carries more weight just as they usually lose arguing…

Kristen deserved it but her win was redemption when Tom admitted in an interview it was first time he watched back & realized they'd sent wrong chef home. This Brooke win is so stale to fans because it seems Tommy had 1 more tiny wrong to right about TC history & it was crowning Brooke.

There wasn't much on Brooke's menu that wasn't somewhat simple for a chef. Oyster, flan, and you can dress them up but the beans weren't nearly as beautiful as Shirley's pork dish. Oh well…. watching Tom vehemently defend Brooke last half of season I knew where this was going but surprised editors didn't give us…

John deserved more win than Brooke. Yogurt parfait that didn't send her home on TC. Laughable

The problem with Brooke's win is Tom acted like a creepster with a crush fighting for her all season. She should have left 2-3 episodes sooner, I can't forgive that parfait. Had she of left when deserved would she have been back as easy? Oh nvm yes Tom would've made sure. And the women were neck & neck but so much hub…

I liked him as well, maybe it was getting a better edit than Nick but he was more personable. It was admirable he hung in as long as he did without having the professional training. If Tom had any hair left he'd have lost it this season over that.

I wonder if his patrons know they should bring their own salt?

I suspect we'll see Nina & Shirley in Masters or All Stars. But you know in addition to the drama we must have had it drilled in our heads a thousand times Carlos only did Mexican. I actually liked him more than Nick and as much as I liked Nina, her bashing on him for "only Mexican" was almost like pot meet kettle. …

I'll also add in any other season of this show someone so close to going home with immunity goes home the following week or week after at latest. Nick didn't which was fishy then and remains fishy as he takes the crown. It's not a crown of honor now it's a crown of shame. What did he do for Tom?
