Top Chef?


Due to the violent storms in our area I was not able to view Wednesday's Top Chef on Bravo at all: all I got was static. Damn you satellite TV!

Turns out, that after much prolonged Restaurant Wars (as if the creative team at Bravo run out of ideas for new elimination challenges! The should have gotten Brian "fired" after the 1st challenge) the very awesome Tre gets axed. Tre? Seriously, Top Chef judges you must have lost it. Tre was the only guy I (and thousands of others out there or so it seems by the passionate response from the blogging community) could vote to become a Top Chef. Calm, collected and true to his roots: a welcome change from the bitching, whining, back stabbing majority of chefs on this season's program. Perhaps he did not hold enough "controversy" potential? All he did was cook and competed fairly (except for the eavesdropping accident, but so what- that's nothing compared with Howie's constant bullying!). I believe he was eliminated because he was clearly too good for the fake reality show where everything depends on editing and people's merits are based on how much controversy they can stir up. Isn't it what the reality TV is all about?
