Rocco Di Spirito is a media whore, and Tom Colicchio is my secret crush









We live in the era of the celebrity chef, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril, Rachael Ray, Bobby Flay, and the Food Network, etc. The worst has to be Rocco Dispirito. I was watching Top Chef on Wednesday and there he was again. It seems like every time that I turn on the TV, there is Rocco, commercials, Biggest Loser, Today show, Top Chef, advertisements, and he even had a really bad reality show, no not Dancing with the Stars, but his appearance on that only goes to Prove my point. Rocco go away, we dont need you anymore, you arent that interesting, at this point you are more well known for being on TV, than being an actual chef. The worst part was that as the guest judge for Top Chef, he got to give away copies of his signed cook book as prizes. Really?? It is a good thing that the winner got immunity, because if it had been just that damned cookbook... well I would have been in a room fulkl of knives, and someone would have been hurt. I love Bravo and I know that there is not a product placement opportunity that they won't agree to, ( I can almost hear Tim Gunn say "Loreal Paris Make-up Room and Tres-Seeme Hair Salon" in my sleep), but with Rocco it just bugged me some reason. The majority of the other guest judge chefs on Top Chef seem to be more about the cooking and less about the self promotion. And that is all that Rocco seems to be about.



Dear Producers of Top Chef, I love watching your show, and I am sad that my hometown bear Rich was eliminated so if you want to keep this viewer happy for the rest of the season, dont let Rocco anywhere near the "Top Chef Kitchen", and see if you can get Tom to do judges table shirtless, he is one sexy man. The shaved head, the eyes, the look he gives to the contestants. I know if that he just unbuttoned that shirt a few buttons we would see a sexy hairy chest. I know that he is married, but so am I.
so to recap, no more Rocco, lots more Tom
