Quit Yer Crying on Top Chef: It's a Cooking Show, Fer Crissakes

Let’s get right down to it. It’s only week two of Top Chef Las Vegas and we’re already rolling out eyes at the gambling themed gimmicks and unabashed promotion of The M Resort. Yeah, we get it. It’s a nice resort and the host hotel for Season 6, but fer crissakes, pretty please stop shoving it down our throats.

So, last night’s episode wasn’t exactly one for the memory books, aside from Ashley’s minor meltdown surrounding the Bachelor/Bachelorette party Elimination Challenge with special guest judge Todd English the celeb chef behind Olives at Bellagio.

But back to Ashley. She’s a lesbian. Big deal. But, she (rightfully) has strong opinions about the legal definition of matrimony. There’s a time and place to express such personal beliefs, and we’re kinda thinking she should’ve shut up and cooked at this juncture of the episode (not to be insensitive or non-PC, but seriously).

Anyway, it was a predictable battle of the sexes where after a quick likes/dislikes Q&A with the to be betrothed, the guys cooked for the bachelorettes and the gals cooked for the bachelors.
