For those of you following Top Chef on Bravo, last night’s decision was a scandal. Sam was knocked off while the xanthan gum using weasel made it to the final round. It’s doubtful any of us will ever recover fully from this injustice.

Oh: That’s right: I watch Top Chef. Deal with it.

Update: So much outrage out there. This captures the disbelief, from a reader:

Jonah,
Last night after Top Chef, I stared at the television blankly for a good 10 minutes when they let Sam go. At this stage, the judges should be picking the best chefs to go through, not the person who did the best job at making Poi. What a stupid challenge, anyway.
I’m still mad. I may not even watch next week. But I probably will because you know they’ll bring back the last 6 or so chefs to cook with Marcel and Ilan, and high comedy will ensue if that happens.

Oh, and there’s some outrage about how I spoiled it for some people (sorry about that):

ARGH! I DVR’d this and you spoiled me. Anyway there was no way Sam was going to win even though he is probably the best chef b/c he is a poor man’s version of last season’s winner, Harold.
