About this episode

The episode discusses the final four chefs of Top Chef, comparing them to past seasons and analyzing fantasy league outcomes.

This week, we start off by comparing this final four chefs to other seasons and look at the association between gender ratio at final four with the gender of past seasons' winners. One of Carly and Kendra's leagues drafted the final four chefs in the first five chefs drafted - and the other, well, not so much. The power rankings have become a nail biter, with only one point separating the first and second place players. The winner will get a chef-curated meal at Sara Bradley's Freight House. In fantasy leagues, the chefs had varying levels of success in this episode, and different fantasy leagues' winners are shored up while some remain hotly contested.
