Bravo teases the finale thusly:

Fresh off that Emmy high is the season finale of Top Chef D.C.! The Final 3 chefs have been sharpening their knives to battle it out in Singapore as the season culminates in a fight to the finish and some very special Top Chef Alums are thrown into the mix to help execute these finalists' visions. But when Angelo falls ill in the very last throws of his Top Chef journey, will he muster up the strength to pull it all together? Or will it be Ed or Kevin that wins the title? Tune in to find out who will be named "Top Chef" on the *Finale Part 2* this Wednesday 9/15 @ 10/9c followed by Top Chef Just Desserts. Stay tuned tomorrow for some sweet promotions (of course that pun was intended! :))

And some previews of the action:

The Sous Chefs: The final three have experienced sous chefs at their disposal.

Angelo is Sick: Angelo Sosa is sick and him not being able to compete in the finals is a real possibility.

Neat surprise. Kevin!

This show lost all credibility when Kenny was eliminated.

TIFFANY got Robbed.

So agree with you!

I know, I really wanted her to win, she had the skills and a great attitude.

It's tough to call--Ed's been doing well lately, Kevin had a few successes right before, and Angelo started really strong. It seems like Angelo has had the edgier dishes (with things like bacon foam), but it looks like he's ill for the finale. Stay tuned...

i always thought tiffany was gonna take it ...

[jerrde]

this is a great entertainment and a nail bitter ... ed will take it

A cooking competition show? We are now officially starved for entertainment.

[Annintexas]

07:05 PM on 09/15/2010

They are hot right now. There's about 4 or 5 going.

[Klytemnestra]

At least they have talent unlike the Kardashians or the Jersey Shore cast.

[Annintexas]

I picked Ed. He's hit it out of the park in these final weeks.

Ed Cotton will win!

Like the Housewives of DC...Top Chef thought that DC would be a hot commodity now that President Obama was in the WH...it started out that way...but with the econamy going in the tank, and Obama's approval rating going down...people are just not that excited about DC anymore...in fact I can't even stomach seeing any shows from DC!!! That being said, I will have to give ED the nod as the winner of TC tonight!

Maybe some day an intelligent thought will cross your mind, it will be a long and lonely journey.

It is amazing to me that: no matter what the topic, what time of the day, which day of the week, which month of the year, and which decade the year falls in .......Somehow there is a inference made to President Obama being in some way being responsible.....Are you Serious?

You are so spot on! FANNED!!!!!

Jumped the Easy Bake when they eliminated Tiffany. She was a joy, and joyful, and so very humble. I read the East Coast spoilers and stopped watching the episode before Tiffany's ouster. I hate getting attached to reality shows, but I think it's time to let this one go. Onward, Project Runway!

I love the show but thought this was a lackluster season. But coming off of the stellar Vegas season I think they had an uphill battle. There's really not a true stand-out amongst the chefs. They've just now started to really cook well and there's one show left.! I hope Ed wins.

[jwatso7]

Word for word, exactly what I would have said. Thanks!

A truly boring season....Vanessa should still be there and Kevin should be gone. The 1st few seasons brought out some real talent, but it's getting thin.
