Whose your earlybird pick to win?

For me: Brian, Jennifer and Kevin

Mattin and Bryan are hot though!

Jennifer is my early pick to be a amjor b*tch....

I'm kinda hoping it comes down to the brothers though.

Jennifer - who doesn't love an alpha male with a vagina?

The brothers and Kevin will give her some compeitition.

Ashley - lesbian who objected to cooking food for a bachelor/bachelorette party since she isn't allowed to marry. Oh, those easy-going lesbians!

PS I am over all these full-sleeve tattoos. Even the women have them!

Jennifer, Kevin, Michael V., and Brian seem to be the early favorites, barring some unfortunate venture into desserts (since that has been an downfall to many over the years).

Love the reaction shots (of the brothers) they show when one of the brothers wins something. They seem to tolerate each other, but that's about it.

Overall, I'm enjoying the season so far. They've mixed things up here and there - the last quick-fire challenge saw the loser go home. Then they sent the loser of the elimination challenge home at the end.

The brothers: First episode it was noted they live 3,000 miles apart and that it was their mother's hope the show would bring them closer. I like them both.

Funny I find their relationship odd since I have no relationship with one brother and rarely speak to my other one. It's been four months since we have spoken -- not out of any issue, we just rarely bother to call the other. My other brother and I have not spoken in six years or so.

Michael's Nitro Gaspacho was freakin' brilliant.

Happy to see Hector and Preeti gone, they didn't do much for me.

The biggets problem for me this season is that most of the best chefs this season as dull as dirt. The sibling rivalry story has been overplayed and the brothers are personality-free. Jennifer too. I like Kevin...he comes of as a nice and fun guy. I also like Ash but I don't think he has any chance of winning.

Ashley came off as a major 'tard when she was whining about the wedding challenge a couple of weeks ago. She seems to forget that Top Chef did a gay wedding a couple of seasons ago. Plus, if she owned her own restaurant, would she turn away a straight couple who wanted to have their wedding there? I doubt it. And I wonder if she also complained about serving food to the military....you know, the whole Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy. Either she thought it best to zip it or the editors just didn't include any comments.

On the plus side, no Toby so far...he's such a douche. I wish they'd kept Ted Allen as a judge.

I didn't care much for Toby but Ted Allen only contributed a throw-away comment or two. He just didn't have the knowledge the other judges did. If you ever catch a rerun, watch Judges' Circle. He is quite mum.

Excellent point about Ashley! She can go anytime.

Been pretty drama free at this point.

Yea Ashley sucks, but what about Mike(non brother)? He's got to be the biggest douche this side of Marcel from season 2. I hate his I'm better than thou personality and the way he acted when was on the bottom 3 in the elimination was pretty classless.

I was sorry to see Eli go this week. He was my season favorite eye candy! I loved how he always padded around the Top Chef house in bare feet. Yum!!

Eli? I guess it is all about different strokes, Ranch Hand. Who knows, maybe his parents will kick his ass out of the house now and he'll be looking for new digs. There's your chance! I'm pleased with the final 4. I'm hoping it is Brian and Jennifer for the final two but Kevin seems like he's been the consistent winner thru the season. For the most part, it has been a pretty classy season.

I definitwly want Kevin to win. If not then Brian or Jennifer would be fine. So long as uber-douche Mike doesn't win I'll be okay with the result.

Kevin is my favorite to win as well. Jennifer would be my backup choice, however, I don't think she quite has the chops to beat out Kevin or Brian. All in all, this has been a wonderful season I agree with George Twins fan in that I don't want Mike to win.

Man, I don't want either of the brothers to win. They are both pretty obnoxious. If I were their mother I'd look into retroactive adoption.
