I'm on the Antonia bandwagon now.

I don't really have a favorite left, but I think the most deserving winners, in terms of their chef skills, would be Richard or Antonia. Richard's attitude is bugging me a lot, but I think he's putting a huge amount of pressure on himself. That, combined with the recent deaths in his family and potentially missing out on the birth of his second child to be on Top Chef All-Stars, is, I think, causing the worst of his personality to come out. I think they're all tired, too, which never helps. It's also occurred to me that Richard started wigging out worse after Fabio and Dale, the two he seemed closest to, left. Fabio, in particular, seemed good at calming him down.
Antonia is a good chef, and she doesn't seem easily rattled, which is in her favor. I think Mike and Tiffany aren't anywhere as consistent as Antonia or Richard, and I tend to agree with the opinion that Tiffany is a very good good more than she is a fine chef at this point. Her dishes sometimes sound good to me but they never make me think, "Wow, how did she come up with that? It sounds great!" Mike is completely hit or miss for me--sometimes what he makes sounds good and other times it sounds pretty darn awful. To me, it just seems like Richard and Antonia have a clearer sense of who they are as chefs and how to turn the challenges in the directions in which they excel.
