Top Chef Las Vegas 10/14

Laurine, Robin, and Ash in the bottom three and Ash gets eliminated? Yawn.

On the whole, I've preferred this batch of cheftestants to last season's group of cheftestants. Unfortunately, like I've said before, it's clear who is going home and who is making the final four. Nobody is going to make a Carla-esque run at the prize this year. Of the four chefs selected as favorites in the Elimination Challenge, three were the same. And that group of four, of course, was the Brothers Voltaggio, Kevin, and Jennifer. The bottom three were the three weakest.

Not much else to say about this episode other than the fact that Toby needs to tuck his goddamn shirt in.

Power rankings!

1. Kevin
2. Bryan
3. Jennifer
4. Michael
5. Mike
6. Eli
7. Laurine
8. Robin

The rankings could stay exactly the same for the rest of the season, if not for next week's episode: Restaurant Wars. Good chefs always lose Restaurant Wars (Radhika, Dale, Tre) and I have a premonition that Jennifer or one of the Brothers V will get the boot.

Between Kevin this season and Richard in the fourth season, it seems that the nicest chefs come from Atlanta. Damn straight.
