(S06E09) The issue Top Chef apart from series like Project Runway and Hell's Kitchen is the degree of professionalism on the screen. Although both of these shows have been strong competitors of all, the pool looks more amateur than on Top Chef. This was evident in the episode this week with the Quick Fire Challenge.
The challenge, in which the contestants had to go in blind and complete a dish in ten-minute segments was amazing. I was thoroughly impressed with not only the fact that they could do this in the first place, but with how cool and calm everyone stayed. There wasn't a single contestant who didn't seem completely professional-- a fact that was evident when you saw how impressed guest judge Rick Moonen was with everyone. That is why it was so surprising to see the Blue team go off the rails in such a spectacular fashion. I fully expect the top four to be Kevin, Jen, and the Voltaggio brothers-- and the Blue team had two of those people.
In fact, Laurin leave the interview, he talks about why he knew it was time for him to be removed, as well as factors that contributed to the collapse of his team. This is a pretty interesting and a good amount of self-awareness, something that generally can not actually show the contestants.
