(did we mention how excited we are for this?  Oh, we did.  Well, we&#8217;re going to say it again: We&#8217;re really excited for this).</p>
Vodpod videos no longer available.
<p>Our money is on Richard Blaise.  And not because he was the clear favorite in Season 4 and, by his own admission, choked in the final.  And not because we&#8217;ll squeeze an excessive amount of joy out of calling him &#8220;The Blaise.&#8221;  But because The Blaise is rocking the orange Crocs.  Dude is angling for a role in Wes Anderson&#8217;s next stop-motion film (watch your back, <a title="Mario Batali &amp; Wes Anderson" href="http://jumpedthesnark.com/2009/12/02/the-connection-between-wes-anderson-mario-batali-top-chef-revealed/">Batali</a>).</p>
