I told the wife a couple weeks ago it would be either Cori or Petrozza, IMO. "X-tina" doesnt have the experience to do the job, and there was no way Jen was mentally stable enough. How many times did they show here eating food that was going into the garbage?? She was a liar, and cheater.
I believe Gordon knew from the start who he was going to have in the end, and just filled in the rest of the cast with loony-tunes characters to make the show fun. Look back on some of them...there was NO WAY Louross was going to be the chef at London-West Hollywood. He was a freak! General "****y"...was lazy and incompetent. Matt???, give me a break, the guy didn't have a screw that wasn't loose! And his signature" dish at the start of the show...anyone remember emoVomit emoVomit . That was the funniest thing I have ever seen! How about Jason....the "mans, man". HA! What a goober! The list goes on and on. I just feel that Patrozza, and Cori are the most even-keeled contestants, and fit what he was looking for.
