Too busy watching Adam Richman choke on milkshakes on Man vs. Food.

No worries. If Carla would have won, I would have been happy also. But I'm glad Hosea won.

When the season started, I wondered why was Carla even on it, but as the season progressed she really surprised me.

I had the same conversation with my girlfriend last night, because we were both convinced that she was going to be gone after the first few weeks. I kind of feel like she wouldn't have made it as far in one of the earlier seasons though.

I think Carla's confidence was the whole story for her... She started off slow as she (and everyone else) wondered how she fit in. Then she started to gain some confidence and it really shined in her food. Then she gets to the final and she freaked... I think she would have won if she trusted her gut, she had alot of momentum building...

That's what I mean though, she got lucky that this season there were some really abysmal performances in the first few weeks, so she had more time to find her footing. She did come on strong at the end though, so I do think it would have been competitive if she would have stuck to her guns on the finale.

Actually, unlike last year, I don't think I would have been surprised to see any of them win.
