Does Chopped: All-Stars Promotional Video Give Away Two Finalists?

The answer is Yes.  A reader of this blog sent in a tip regarding the 30 second commercial/promo for Chopped: All-Stars.  If you look closely at the video, you are able to determine two of the chefs that advance to the finals of Chopped: All-Stars.


SPOILER - Do not continue reading if you do not want to know!











The commercial is being played on-air and is also here on the Food Network website.  In one of the shots, you see Scott Conant cooking next to Gavin Kaysen (screenshot below):

 

Considering there are four episodes before the final, with Scott Conant cooking in episode three against fellow Chopped judges Amanda Freitag, Alex Guarnaschelli, and Marc Murphy, there is no reason for him to be next to Gavin Kaysen unless they both advanced to the final.

Gavin is competing in episode two against Elizabeth Falkner, Chuck Hughes, and Richard Blais, so it looks like none of those 3 will advance to the final if you were rooting for them. 

Whoever edited this promotional video might want to go back and take a look at it.  Sorry if you were rooting for any of the chefs that were eliminated.
