These were the rankings heading into the double elimination of this week's #TopChef episode. Would you rank the chefs differently? What point system do you use in your fantasy league?

Infographic of the rankings of Top Chef contestants four elimination challenges and four quickfires into Season 22. From 1st to 12th: Katianna, Shuai, Tristen, Vinny, Corwin, Cesar, Lana, Kat, Massimo and Paula (tied), Henry, and Bailey. How were the most recent winners ranked at this stage of their seasons? Buddha in Season 19 was ranked 3rd and in Season 20 was ranked 2nd; Danny in Season 21 was ranked 5th. Don't miss out: packyourknives.com has more! Who was ranked 1st in past seasons, four quickfires and four eliminations in? How was the winner of S18 doing? How do the scores of season 22 compare to past seasons? Methodology on next page. Methodology: Chefs receive points based on their performance in challenges. To compare between seasons, the scores are calculated keeping constant the number of quickfire and the number of elimination challenges. In this case, four of each. Elimination win = 7 pts Quickfire win = 4 pts Elimination high = 3 pts Quickfire high = 2 pts Quickfire low = -2 pts Elimination low = -3 pts Elimination out = -7 pts. Sudden Death Quickfires & Quickfire Eliminations are considered Elimination challenges. Qualifying challenges and Last Chance Kitchen challenges are not included. The points are the same for individual as team challenges.
