Decision was entirely a marketing decision, but I don't care.
I can't stand Becky. So glad your fake ass is gone.

I knew it. When they showed Becky losing it after the earlier challenge, it seemed like they were building up her loss

Of course he's going to lose.
Christine won the second she cooked her first good dish and when people found out she was blind. She is infinitely more marketable.

Odd question. Is Christine's helper her friend, or assigned by the show?
pretty much this, Josh is going to get steamrolled. Too much money to be made on Christine's success in this competition.

Called that finale. Underdog vs Second Wind.

First season that I'd be happy if either won. They're both excellent. In this case it really is all about the most marketable, sorry Josh.

Agree she is more marketable but i don't see how Becky could have won that. Her frog legs weren't really all that praised, simple salad and shitty potatoes. Would have been retarded for Christine to lose with just being a little creamy.
It's crazy they way they edit Josh. He's super behind and everything is about to crash and BOOM, fucking everything is picture perfect.

Awesome final two! I would like to see Josh pull out the victory, but Christine is amazing and I'd be happy if she won.
I like josh and all but it Joe seems really biased when it comes to him and he always doubts/hates on christine. I am happy josh is in the final two but it will be bullshit if he wins. Its obvious they didnt let stacy compete with him and picked ryan instead so he would get an easy way back in the competition and the whole bringing someone back twist is bullshit all in itself.
Just too blatant even for a fox reality show.

She's provided by the show, in an earlier episode they touched on how she was having to learn how to work with her.

Couldnt get past the first 20 minutes. I understand all reality tv is fake but this goes above and beyond. Looks and feels 100% manufactured in the worst possible way.
Its like watching wrestling. Its leagues more tolerable than hell's kitchen at least.
The moment Becky started doing something 'too' complicated for the mystery box, I knew she was out.
The whole point is that they're home chefs, no one in their right mind would attempt the dish Becky was making at home... no matter how good her dish was meant to be, she was going to lose based on the difficulty alone.
It shows, because she even fucked it up and had to make a soup.

The only think I dislike about the show is how there will this hard challenge, like make a soufflé, and one contestant will state how he/she has never made one, but will then nail it and maybe even win the challenge. It's bullshit. Apparently they teach the contestants how to cook certain things but I think it's stupid how the show gives the illusion that they get no assistance.

That was for her fish entree that she botched because of her poor technique. Had nothing to do with the frog legs and I think it is because of that meal that she lost to be honest. Sounded like the judges liked her frog legs more than Christine's overall dish. The moment the judges realized how she butchered the fish, I think they made their mind.

Minor headsup incase anyone missed it: The Finale will be next Monday. I'll try to post something Sundayish or earlier Monday as a further reminder. (Or someone else is free to beat me to it!)
Basically, they are taught everything they may face on the show and are allowed study time for recipes. They just don't know when it's coming, if it does. And they obviously have harder circumstances to do so.
I wouldn't mind if they got rid of some of the challenges, especially a lot of the group ones, to show that stuff. I'd rather see them trying to learn to do souffle's, some failing, and then the poor students have to pressure test something.
One of the first season contestants had a blog that documented all the classes they go through.

Both of Josh's dishes looked amazing

When Josh is confident he can make some crazy stuff. Same goes for Christine. It's a great match up.
Its like chicken, but tends to be stringier. At least the few times I've had it. Really nothing special to eat.

It really does taste like chicken...
Yeah I was curious about the AU show and how there were a 100+ eps
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome. It's too damn cool that the final 2 are the 2 people I rooted the most for this season. I can watch the final and not even be mad at the outcome. Nice.
I want Christine to win a slight bit more cause she's just so fair, awesome, and cute at the same damn time. At the same time, I'm fully prepared to buy Josh's cookbook just so I can try to make that damn lamb dish. I don't really care for lamb and I want to try that dish.
Can't wait for the final.
Oh yeah, good riddance Becky. I will say though she deserves a job at restaurant way more than anybody on Hell's Kitchen.

Becky is the very definition of "perky, confident" marketable so I'm actually surprised she isn't facing off against Christine in the finale, that would have been an epically marketable match but I guess it makes it obvious they just want Christine to win since blind woman cooking amazing food obviously = more book sales. Josh can totally win but they'll look for any excuse they can to give Christine the edge (not that she isn't awesome). Anyways, I'm glad Becky's gone. She's a good cook but she's just the typical/boring Food TV type, she got too sloppy and full of herself (in her reaction she was truly shocked, you could totally tell she thought she was destined to be in the finale) and she'll have no problem landing on her feet (especially since Gordon told her she can work in any of his restaurants in any country she chooses). So yeah, happy with Josh vs Christine match because I like them both a lot, just wish it wasn't so obvious who is favored by the judges and producers (don't forget the "decisions are made with input from the producers" disclaimer at the end of every episode). Fun show but it's the WWF of cooking competitions.
I get that and it probably comes it to play when it's a really close call, but like it was mentioned early I think Becky just didn't have it in this last episode and pretty much fucked herself, from fucking up that fish entree to creating those soggy potatoes.

Finally caught up. Glad to see Christine in the final. Josh's dishes were amazing. He definitely earned it.
As much as I've disliked Becky throughout the season, I felt bad for her in the end. She definitlely has an amazing passion for food. A job offer from Gordon is hardly a terrible consolation prize.

Oh snap, that's awesome! Can't wait to see Christine win

Too bad she can't
What's it about? Renovating prisons ala KN/HH?
Teaching prisoners to cook so they can make food behind bars to sell it to the outside world.
