No winners, and I like most of them. They could have left Spike and Isabella off. I know Casey gets a lot of flak, but she was my favourite that season. I really wish they had brought back Brian Malarkey, but he just opened a new restaurant here in San Diego, so he probably couldn't take the time.

I see final four as being Tiffani, Tre, Blais, and Jen Carroll, with Blais winning. Totally not spoiled, just think that Blais should haved won his season in the first place.

I'm very excited about this.

Oh, and the most exciting news: Anthony Bourdain is alternating with Gail Simmons as a judge.
