I Like to Watch

All work and no play make Jack Bauer a mean boy. Plus: Cliff takes on the Heat Miser (and pays for it) on "Top Chef"!

    Bullies on Top Chef

    I have a starkly different opinion about the Top Chef epeisode last week. I feel that Sam, Ilan, and Cliff should all have been sent packing. I have watched with dismay this season as Betty, Sam, Cliff, et al have focused on Marcel and picked on him. It has felt rather 'lord of the flies" and makes me unimpressed with any of the finalists. Actually, the head shaving of Ilan and Elia came after the attempted head shaving of Marcel. I don't see it as the harmless prank played on a loser, but mean-spirited and felonious abuse. I for one am done with the show for this season. I also hope that Marcel sues the pants off of Bravo, Cliff, and the executive producer.
