The winner is - Dan and Steve! It's interesting that an openly gay couple can win a nationally televised contest via popular vote, but that gay marriage is so out of the question. It's like America is saying, "you gays can entertain us, but you better not try to have a normal life."
I'm glad they won - the other finalist stole their recipe idea in one of the final competitions. Not cool. And mad props to Hans, who I criticized for being boring. He was able to learn from the judges' concerns and he turned it around. Eric was looking scarier by the minute. All sunked-eyed and gasping for breath. I do not see why everyone thought he was so great. Egotism is not cuddly.
