Also, two contestants will be sent home in a "blind-judged" elimination (i.e., the judges won't know whose food is whose).

Watch it tonight at 10 ... and join the Top Chef Commenter Live Blog here on Gawker while you're at it!

This week, Riggs and Murtaugh handle a client, with some dangerous curves

Cue saxophone music and camera moves slowly up the back of some objectified ex-waitress/starlet's thighs.

Close up of first douchebag's horny and astounded face. For all his bed-hopping antics, he has never seen a woman like this. Until the next one comes along. The other guy, emasculated nebbish that he is, nervously swallows.

The following exchange takes place in a series of agitated whispers:

"Whoa!"

"Shut up Riggs, we're professionals"

"And by the looks of her, so is she!"

"Riggs!"

Starlet speaks in standard-issue sexy voice:

"Hello boys. I have a difficult assignment for you. Think you're man enough to... handle it?"

"I'll tell you what I'd like to handle."

"Riggs!"
