Top Chef is one of my favorite TV shows.  It is on Bravo and is a competition between chefs to win the title of “Top Chef” (along with money, magazine spreads, cool prizes, etc)…  We are currently on season 6 of Top Chef….  Thre is a dominant competitor thus far.  But first, I want to give you a breakdown of the past seasons.

Top Chef Background:  Every episode involves 2 challenges:

• Quickfire Challenge:  Usually a fast, 30 minute challenge or so, with a twist or a restriction on ingredients.  The winner of this usually gets immunity from elimation for the night.
• Elimination Challenge:  The winner usually gets a great prize and the loser gets kicked off the show.

Here are some stats from previous seasons:

Season 1 “Top Chef”:  Harold

• 2 Quickfire Wins
• 2 Elimination Challenge wins (including the finale, which won him the title)

Season 2 “Top Chef”: Ilan

• 1 Quickfire Win
• 3 Elimination Challenge wins

Season 3 “Top Chef”: Hung

• 4 Quickfire Wins
• 2 Elimination Challenge wins

Season 4 “Top Chef”: Stephanie

• 2 Quickfire Wins
• 5 Elimination Challenge wins

Season 5 “Top Chef”: Hosea

• 1 Quickfire Win
• 3 Elimination Challenge wins

Now, before I get to our current season (which is not over), let me say… In season 5, there was a dominate leader, Stefan.  Stefan finished the competition with 4 quickfire wins and 4 elimination wins… He just didn’t win the finale… Stefan was the most dominant competitor we had ever seen…. Until…….

Season 6 Leader after 10 Episodes:  KEVIN

• 4 Quickfire Wins
• 4 Elimination Challenge wins

There are still many episodes left and Kevin has already racked up this many wins?!?!

I love this show.
