Carla - Top Chef: New York

[mindy384]

I just read what Casey wrote - it absolutely made me feel ill. I always thought of Casey as a class-act, but it's clear that underneath that "professional", "sweet" exterior, lies a very nasty soul.

I was really rooting for her. I hope this isn't the last we see of Carla.

Ya know, I am not sure what it was but something about Casey rubbed me the wrong way during her [entire] season. I remember confirming my suspicions at the 'live' finale when she flat out told the guys something like 'but just remember I was kicking your butts all through the end' in response to her not winning the final challenge/title. It was as if she wanted to rub it in their face that she won a few challenges and had beat them a few times--so it did not matter who won the title. Just the way she said it, she was so cocky and rude. And I thought, wow, what a gracious loser-a real class act.

It took me some time to warm up to Carla (at first I thought she was crazy, really) but now I love her personality and class! Casey is just mad that the judges practically blamed CASEY's crappy ideas for Carla's loss (Carla going along with them). What a terrible person.. she deserves an errrrrr.

Carla was on Talk of the Nation last week. You can find it on Itunes under Talk of the Nation Podcasts. Hootie Hoo!
