Top Chef S19 Power Rankings (Top 6- Part 2)

Aug 5, 2022 by PowerRankings101

This is an interesting week. The top 4 I’ve had for weeks now is safe, alongside Ashleigh the first LCK winner and now Sarah, the new LCK winner. It’ll be interesting having these new two chefs in the mix. Right now, it’s less a question of who will be gone soon and more so who will Win it all.

6. Ashleigh Shanti- Ashleigh is certainly the odd one out here. Sarah has been killing it at LCK, and the other four have been (for the most part) very consistently at the top. Ashleigh is likely going to be gone next unless we get a major shake-up or Sarah comes in and drops the ball immediately.

5. Sarah Welch- Sarah is back, and she is such an unknown. Will the LCK challenge dominance translate to the regular game? Will it be harder? Easier? It’s really impossible to say with Sarah since it’s been so long since we’ve seen her competing in the regular competition. But I’m excited nonetheless.

4. Damarr Brown- Damarr took his first L this season, but I think he’ll bounce back just fine. Given how consistent these top 4 are, they’re each going to have their one road block, and it’s just a matter of who recovers and who doesn’t. I have no doubt Damarr will be just fine, but due to his poorer performance, he’s at the bottom of this top 4.

3. Evelyn Garcia- Evelyn is still super consistent, despite not winning this challenge or the fajita challenge. I still think she’s a top contender, she just happened to be outshined by two others this week. That’s why this is such a competitive endgame.

2. Nick Wallace- Nick won yet another quickfire (QF king??) by making his own tortillas, and then managed to also place top three in the space challenge. I confidently put Nick at the bottom of this top 4 a few weeks back, but the past two weeks have only reminded me just how consistent Nick is. And with Damarr’s misstep, Nick is now the only person to NEVER be on the bottom of an elimination challenge. Pretty rad.

1. Buddha Lo- After dipping last week, Buddha is back up to #1. This space challenge seemed tailor-made for him. The question is, does Buddha only excel in these innovative, other-worldly challenge? Or can Buddha manage to keep this creativity going in some of the simpler challenges? Only time will tell, but this week reminded us just how great of a chef Buddha is, and he deserves the top spot because of it.

Top 4 + 2 LCK. Who will emerge victorious? Right now, I can tell you who I think is clearly on the outs…

PREDICTIONS:

Going Home- Ashleigh Shanti
