Top Chef All-Stars: week 9 power rankings

Poor Fabio. If his dish tasted the way the judges said it did, he was justified in being PYKAG'd, but his burger sure looked good.

1. Carla
Making a huge play to be in the finale. Her three Elimination Challenge victories are the most of any chef this season and she has been in a winning group for four straight weeks, another season high. Disregard her antics: Carla is not to be underestimated.
2. Angelo
Keeping steady, but his last Elimination Challenge win came way back in the second episode.
3. Richard
Coasting. Still a favorite to be in the finale but he's been settling for base hits lately and he needs that home run.
4. Antonia
Fabio thought she didn't deserve to win last week. She gets the last laugh.
5. Dale
It's a tale of two Dales: win the Quickfire, then be up for elimination. He looked invincible for a while but now he's in the bottom group for the second week in a row - a Top Chef first for him. Still capable of making the finale if he can recover his mojo.
6. Mike
Good showing tonight to make up for last week's poor dish, but he won't be around much longer.
7. Tiffany
If she'd been sent home, I wouldn't have batted an eye. As one of the diners said, she made tortilla soup.
