Massive spoilers!!
What do you think about this yearโs Top Chef finale result?
Dudes! You've got to change the thumbnail! The NBA finals were last night, we taped it to watch tonight. I love the show so far, but dude…
I missed the episode last night. Congratulations to her. She understood the assignment from the first episode. Imbue your chosen or given raw ingredients with a story and style out.
Ugh Iโve been ruined the winner. Next time maybe put a blank silhouette
Please please please donโt spoil it for those of us who have to wait a day to watch on Peacock!! Next season donโt do this!
Fabulous
I was so relieved it was Joe Flamm and not Joe Sasto lmfao
What a way to ruin the finale. What a spoiler. You could have at least posted without her picture in the thumbnail. What jerks!
Dam i recorded it and avoided social media all day ughh please be careful with thumbnails this gets ruined for me every year ๐ข
So happy for Roda!
it is such a great arc for Rhoda to start out with wins, win on LCK and ultimately triumph in the finale for the Top Chef Win. Additionally, it was nice to hear she trusted Sieger and wanted him as Sous. He crashed out but noe the last thing we remember and now know is she relied on Sieger and wanted him apart of her win. it was a great season, the prize Monet from Graza needs to be more than $250k is my criticism .
Thanks for the Spoiler. We were going to watch it tonight. I love your podcast but this really is upsetting.
