I agree about the winner but I have to say the voting was kinda screwy.
I mean, I think all the judges didn't like his final dish - with the
overcooked seafood but the final judge gave him 4 and a half stars just
so that he could win. Or rather "chick a rello" got 3 and half just so
that Bayless could win.
