apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Kevin! My roommate and I call him Ginge-y Claus. Don't you just want to give him a bear hug? (And rapidly consume anything he cooks)?

Okay, I admit I've never even watched the show before, BUT I will be trying to catch the season finale. Bryan is from my hometown -- I've been dying to try his restaurant since it opened, I'm sure it'll be impossible to get a reservation after his being on the show!

Kevin is an adorable pooh bear and also a great chef. I will be happy if he or Bryan wins, but I have a slightly stronger preference for Kevin, because his food seems to be a little more...honest. I don't know how else to describe it.

Oh I almost forgot this is tonight! I wish I could vote twice as I really could see either Brian or Kevin winning. Can't wait!

Really rooting for Kevin--or Gingerbeard AKA the Gingerbeard Man, as he's known in my house. :) I admire Michael's creativity, but there's something about his attitude that turns me off. Bryan seems talented too, although the photos on his restaurant's website are absolutely ridiculous: http://www.voltrestaurant.com

kevin! he's been my favorite all along, but the brothers are perhaps the most boring people to ever cross my tv.

Bryan! He's been so overlooked for his accomplishments yet remains politic. I'm tired of Kevin and Michael taking all the glory.

I really want Kevin to win. He's great and I really want to hear a Voltaggio say "He won?! He won with the food that I cook on my day off?!!?"

Kevin!

I love Michael although everyone else seems to hate him. I love his smartass comments and his arrogance. His food is innovative and he's fun to watch. I guess I have my home on the dark side...

rachpie - thanks for sharing the site, those pics on the first page cracked. me. up.

I love Kevin to bits and he is absolutely my choice to win, but I feel bad that Michael has no votes. He is kind of an asshole, but I think his work is brilliant and-I-have-the-tiniest-crush-on-him-that-leather-jacket-he-wore-last-episode-just-about-killed-me. But I also wouldn't be disappointed if Bryan won. I think this may be the first season where I have a clear favourite, but wouldn't mind if either of the others won. Both Kevin and Michael have done fairly well for themselves in this competition so far (Kevin with all his quickfire wins, and Michael just won that car), so it would be nice to see Bryan take something home as well, even if I would prefer to see Kevin win.

I'm Team Kevin, but I still want to do Michael and marry Bryan. Sorry Votaggios. You can cook breakfast for me. ('on your day off' ha! Take that!

Kevin!!! He's my favorite personality on the show, and I've eaten at Woodfire Grill and can confirm that his cooking is fantastic. Of course, I am biased for anyone from the great city of Atlanta. It's nice to see someone from Atlanta on Bravo who isn't embarassing us non-housewives. :o)

I haven't caught this season yet, but I love how the third guy must stand so that we can see his tattoo.

He looks like he was posed by a high school yearbook photographer.

Kevin all the way!!! I love his theories behind cooking and his restaurant sounds AMAZING. Now I'm going to have to make a trip to Georgia, geez. I do like the brothers but Michael bothers the crap out of me and I'm kind of tired of his new and cool cooking method. I've eaten food like that at many amazing restaurants and while I wouldn't turn it down any day I think I'm moving back towards sustainable foods and concentrating on things that are in season. Those are the places that make me happy. Bryan is an awesome chef as well and while I think all 3 of them could be the top chef I am REALLY hoping it will be Kevin!

I definitely want Kevin to win..We call him Friar Tuck in our house because of his little bald spot in the back of his ginger hair and beard...

I love the voltaggio boys though!! rrraaaaarrrr. hot!

Been to Woodfire Grill numerous times and love Kevin ( and his fabulous food). I really hope he wins!!

Kevin is my top choice. I really admire his integrity and commitment to simple food and sustainability. I'd also be happy if Bryan won--he's also displayed a wonderful level of professionalism, integrity and courtesy throughout the competition (well, except for the minor squabbling with his brother) and his food seems consistently great. I think winning TC would also give him a confidence boost and perhaps humble his little brother (whose overbearing personality seems to squelch him a bit).

This season of Top Chef, as said by Tom Colicchio himself, has had the most talented competitors yet. Each of the Voltaggio brothers, as well as Kevin have their own unique style wether it be out of the box unusual dishes, meticulous technique, or clean and simple flavours. In my opinion each of these chefs are far too talented (Jenn included) to not all win tonight.

Having said that, Kevin should be the Top Chef because he has proven himself over and over whether it be when receiving the honour of being the only published quickfire recipe from this season in the quickfire cookbook, a chance to compete in the Beaucous D'Or of next year, or to cook at the Pigs and Pinot event.

So, even though Kevin has not won just yet, he truthfully, in my opinion, has "won" it all at this point.

Good Luck to each one! I'm sure the judges know what is best!

Kevin all the way! a) his food consistently tastes amazing and b) he looks like Yukon Cornelius and c) he's humble, yet confident, with the flavors to back it up. I LOVE him! This was by far one of the best Top Chef seasons yet.

Kevin! His is the only food I want to eat. Like others if it is not him then Bryan. I would be very disappointed if Micheal won.

Yukon Cornelius!!! LOL!!!

Also, those photos on the Volt sight HAVE to be tongue-in-cheek. Who the heck wants to eat from a guy who puts on his apron in a barn?

Kevin FTW

Bryan for the win.

i love that FromTheFuture applied the f-marry-kill game! lol.

I think I like Kevin's personality the best, but I don't think they are voting on personality. And, correct me if I'm wrong, Bryan has had the most elimination challenge wins, and has NEVER gone to judge's table in the bottom. So if we look at the overall season elimination performance, I think Bryan wins.

Ha! Those pictures of Bryan on his restaurant site are hilarious! It looks like he's been freakishly photoshopped into each scene and he looks very out of place.

Kevin! Kevin!!

They can all cook, but I'm rooting for Bryan because he's adorable and not a total jerk.

I think Kevin will win, though. I'll be taking a drink every time he says "I'm from the South...", "simple food," or "It's all about flavor". Dude. We get it.

Bryan looks like he's auditioning for the next run of "Equus" on Broadway. Utter silliness. :)

Michael isn't kind of "an a-hole" he is %100 certified organic a-hole. I know its a competition, but dude you are acting like a cocky 16 year old boy. He should take some of that pent up pissiness and pour it on to "my shit don't stink" Padma this season.

As for Kevin and Bryan, both are wonderful, I'd be happy if either of them won. I just want to see Kevin's pig tattoo!

Kevin 100%! Bryan would make me happy as well. Michael (and/or Bravo's editing team) has convinced me that he doesn't deserve to win as much as the other two.

I'll be happy with any of them. But I'll be extra, extra happy if it's Michael.

I like Kevin, but I'm kind of surprised by the runaway votes for him. I admire his consistent execution, but sometimes I want to be a bit more surprised by his food. (But I'm also the only person I know who hates to cook the same thing twice, so obviously I'm weird in the experimentation department.)

I feel Bryan has the total package -- professionalism, creativity, consistency. I find it amusing that he doesn't do as well on the quickfires though. It seems he needs more time to think through his dishes.

I don't follow the show, but apparently, it was revealed in the People issue that hit the stands today!

Kevin all the way! Every week he won me over and over with his food, philosophy, and attitude.

Also, it might just be me, but I can barely tell the Voltaggio brothers apart. I know the bigger jerk is Michael and the family man is Bryan (and even that took me ages) but every time one of them comes on screen I have to wait for the name to pop up in the corner.

Ruh-roh...doesn't look like who I wanted to win :-(

I'm glad to see that I'm on the only one that favours Kevin. He looks like a sweet ginger Santa and I just want to feed him spiced milk and ginger cookies.
