Top Chef Astrology: Does it Matter? |
Does it matter that thus far, a Dragon and a Dog have won Top Chef? Does the fact that Lia and Casey are Aries and
Aquarius signs, respectively, contribute to how they became “friends for life? Does it make sense that Tom Colicchio was born under the sign of the Tiger?
I’ll leave the speculation to you, and offer just some surface research details here (not including already eliminated cheftestants):

Brian Malarkey – born September 26, 1972 – Libra (air)
Casey Thompson – born January 21, 1978 – Aquarius (air)

Dale Levitsky – born April 3, 1973 – Aries (fire)
Howie Kleinberg – born July 31, 1975 –Leo (fire)
Hung Hyunh – born January 25, 1978 – Aquarius (air)

Compatibility
Western Sun Sign Compatibility
Aries best with Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aquarius
Pisces best with Scorpio, Cancer, Capricorn, Taurus
Leo best with Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, Libra
Cancer best with Pisces, Scorpio, Taurus, Virgo
Aquarius best with Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius, Aries
Taurus best with Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Pisces
Capricorn best with Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio
Libra best with Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius
Notes: Notice how there is not one single earth sign (which would put out the fire), and how the majority of element is fire or air (the latter which fire needs to function/burn)
Sun signs also considered to get along well with the others with the same element (air with air, fire with fire, etc.), but I can see the possibility of really clashing with someone too much like oneself?
Chinese Zodiac Sign Compatibility
Dragon most compatible with Monkey or Rat
Tiger most compatible with Horse or Dog
Dog most compatible with Tiger or Horse
Rabbit most compatible with Sheep or Pig
Rat most compatible with Monkey or Dragon
Ox most compatible with Snake or Rooster
Rooster most compatible with Ox or Snake
Snake most compatible with Rooster or Ox
Notes: Notice the absence (in remaining contestants and in judges and former winners) of Monkey and Pig? For uncanny reading of which signs succeed at what, see Chinese Horoscope/Compatibility chart
