Hung won. Not a big surprise for me -- but for many viewers, apparently, a kick in the stomach. I think the right contestant won. And as importantly, I think that Hung's well deserved victory is a nice, stiff middle finger to all those boneheads who've been predicting that "The producers are setting it up so Casey will win," as well as the poor, deluded souls who feel they can somehow taste food through the television screen and who've been hanging on to a few heavily edited comments about "flavor" as "evidence" that Casey was the "better" competitor. What we saw in the finale did not support that hypothesis.
I couldn't have said it better. Both Anthony Boudain and Tom Colicchico agreed that the better person won. Hung's use of the portable stoves(suited for the altitude) was a clever move. He worked fast, didn't play the blame game, and and had no problems delegating work. As the winner from Project Runway 4 said "Asians are fierce."
