I am not going to say that he didn't deserve it, the guy can obviously cook otherwise he wouldn't have won, but I don't like it.
True, Stefan was a jackass for most of the show, he was cocky, arrogant, and displayed unsportsmanlike conduct on a number of occasions. But... he also showed he was superior to basically everyone else on the show. He won more challenges, showed more adaptability, more skill, and more patience. He was the only guy to never get rattled, to never lose his cool. And he didn't win. Why?
Top Chef has had this happen before. Ilan Hall won season two and he shouldn't have, he wasn't the best there that season. Like Hosea, he merely put it all together on the last day better than anybody else. That is like giving the Cy Young award to someone who pitched one no hitter, but had a season ERA of 11. It is like picking a league MVP by who scored the most points in one single game, not who was the best for a season. He got lucky, plain and simple.
It is a bummer... but I can't wait for the next season already. Doesn't matter that I am bothered by the finally... I can't let one show ruin a whole season of goodness. That would be WAY too ironic I think...........
