When you are a TV personality with an active social media account, it’s not exactly uncommon to get questions about a TV moment or even to hear criticism online about what’s going on while your show is airing on the TV schedule. That’s exactly what happened to "Top Chef" judge (and restaurateur in his own right) Tom Colicchio this week when fans took to social media to ask about the current Season 21 series, particularly where it pertains to spinoff streaming project “Last Chance Kitchen.” Apparently, one contestant opted out after being eliminated, and the choice is super frustrating as a viewer.
Here’s what happened –and spoilers will be in this article from this point on. During the very first episode, a chef who clearly likes to get creative ended up on the bottom three. Normally when that happens, Gail, Tom, the guest judge and the host, who is Kristen Kish starting in Season 21, decide which of the three will go home. The Milwaukee-set premiere, however, had the bottom three chefs compete in a cook-off.
