The finale was outright painful to watch. I still have real issues with both Hosea and Leah for when they got Ariane kicked of the show. They were clearly just kept on the show for their "romantic" subplot. Still can't wait till next season, though! :) I was so, so sad about Carla. The finale was outright painful to watch.

Clearly they were both outgunned in the finale, regardless of whose decisions were ultimately exercised. Either way, I think Carla will make out better than anyone else from this season. She may not have won the finale but she won the hearts (and tongues) of the fans and the producers. They chose to promote her as the spunky, kooky, cooks-with-love character who, despite her relative lack of talent/experience/knowledge, stays in the competition by sheer force of will and personality. Her brand is much more valuable than Hosea's or even Fabio's right now and that will translate into success for her if she plays it right. Have you seen Casey’s response
