With the competition down to Brooke Williamson and Kristen Kish, one thing is clear going in to the finale of "Top Chef: Seattle." Season 10 would produce the second female winner in "Top Chef" history. The first female "Top Chef" was Stephanie Izard in Season 4. "It's about time," Izard tells host Padma Lakshmi, as the competition gets underway.
Brooke, who goes in to the finale with the most challenge wins for Season 10 is Co-Executive Chef and Co-Owner of Hudson House and The Tripel in the Los Angeles area. She faces Kristen, who was eliminated from the competition by way of a shocking turn of events in Episode 11.
But the Chef de Cuisine at Barbara Lynch's Stir in Boston spent weeks fighting her way back in to the competition by winning round after round of "Last Chance Kitchen," the web spin-off series which pits the eliminated chefs against one another.

Last night's "Top Chef: Seattle" was a rough one. In an unprecedented move, the judges decided all the chefs' food was so bad, no one deserved to win the elimination challenge. Head judge Tom Colicchio actually took the $10,000 prize off the table and, rather than having one winner and one eliminee, no winner was announced and two chefs were sent home.
Most disappointing was the departure of C.J. Jacobson, who was previously booted from season three, and -- along with Josie Smith-Malave -- returned to redeem himself in the show's tenth season. Alas, redemption was not to be had, as Padma Lakshmi asked C.J. and teammate Tyler Wiard to pack their knives and go.
Today, C.J. tells Zap2it he's no longer "pissed off" like he was immediately following his elimination for the team challenge -- in which he and Tyler made a pork burger with a...

'Top Chef Seattle' recap: C.J. Jacobson packs his knives again with Tyler Wiard in double elmination
"Top Chef Seattle" is back with another surprise double elimination -- and this time, no winner.
As the episode opens, we find out it's Stefan Richter's birthday, and he's worried this is the day he'll be kicked off. "When I was competing in New York," he says, "everybody got kicked off on their birthday, and I was like 'birthday curse' -- f**k, no. I don't want to go home on my fortieth birthday."
Forewarning? Hmm ... turns out, not so much.
Quick-Fire Challenge
The cheftestants meet Padma Lakshmi and guest judge, Seattle chef Daisley Gordon at Pike's Place Market. The chefs are told to divide into teams of two, and as usual, some are less than pleased with the chef they've been stuck with. They're told their challenge is to make break fast to go ... on a stick, for 50 of the market's workers. They're given one hour to set...
