Bravo has a tendency to do this, both with <em>Top Chef</em> and <em>Project Runway</em> (when it aired on the net), showing you scenes from the <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/top-chef/photos/first-look-dinner-party" target="_blank">next episode</a>, but failing to inform you that said episode will not air the following week.  Building me up and breaking me down (perhaps the blame is really on me for letting <em>Top Chef</em> become the highlight of my week, but I refuse to become Bravo&#8217;s scapegoat).</p>
<p>On the bright side this means that Ron gets to stay in the spotlight for one more week, and it&#8217;s an excuse for another Ron Duprat/<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_jq5WN_rv8" target="_blank">Carl Winslow</a> comparison.</p>
