* [[CreatorsCreator's Pet]] - MIKE ISABELLA from Season 8 was focused on throughout the whole season for being ungracious, a general jerk to all the other contestants, and being overconfident in nearly... no, every challenge.
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] - Richard giving his prize to Stephanie when he won for Wedding Wars in Season 4, even before he knew what it was, and admitting the work she put into the wedding cake was something he didn't want nor could have done. This is then reciprocated by Stephanie when she offers to share the prize.
* [[Elimination Houdini]]
Line 24:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - There's at least one in every season, which is why the title of Fan Favorite exists. Season 5, has two particularly notable ones: [[Funny Foreigner|Fabio]] [[Crazy Cultural Comparison|Viviani]] and [[Cloudcuckoolander|Carla]] [[The Pollyanna|Hall]].
* [[Entitled Bastard]]: Richard Blais in season 8, where he seemed completely incapable of going by five minutes without whining about how he "should have won season 4", or how the current season would not be successful if he didn't win.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: During the fairly disastrous Season One of "Just Desserts", a lot of jokes were made on blogs about how Morgan, who nearly won, was creepy and some fans said he came off like a child molester. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120626015443/http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/morgan-wilson-top-chef-desserts-finalist-indicted-child-porn-charges-article-1.964053 Turns out that may actually be the case.]
* [[Ho Yay]] - Surprisingly, this is fairly common amongst this show. Famous examples include Dale/Richard (Season 4), Stefan/Fabio (Season 5), Andrew/Spike/Mark (Season 4),and Kevin/Eli (Season 6) from previous seasons.
** Season 8's most obvious bromance was between Richard and Fabio; this [http://twitter.com/#!/fabioviviani/status/39118517253058560 continued on Twitter] after Fabio's departure. There has also been a bit between Mike I./Angelo and Dale seems to have a bit of a fixation on Angelo calling him a "pretty pretty man" and comparing him to a mermaid ("siren of the sea" to be exact) on two separate occasions.
