TV: Top Chef--Can I get a piece of that? (Spoilers)

one of the other shows my wife and i are addicted to is Top Chef. we both love to cook and i think this show is nice because you can see some really creative chefs looking to break out.

anyway, we were very much looking forward to last night's show, because they were obviously going to screw with the contestants by telling them they were going to enjoy the Miami nightlife, only to find out they would be cooking for a bunch of drunken assholes outside a trendy night spot while fellow contestant Dale got a free pass for making a gourmet peach cobbler topping for ice cream.

when all was said and done last night i think the judges made the right decision on both ends. Judge Ted Allen was absolutely right--if you want to please someone, use bacon (even though my doctor has told me to lay off the salty stuff) and i felt that they were right in dismissing Sara, because she pretty much quit the moment she found out that she had to cook dressed in her "club clothes." (boo hoo.)

a question for Sara and Casey however--you are on a reality TV show about cooking--how could you not see this elimination challenge coming from a mile away?
