Bravo Creates a Third 'Top Chef' Show
Things come in threes. Regular Top Chef, Top Chef Junior, and now, Top Chef: Masters, debuting spring 2009. Sounds like a fusion of the Iron and Top Chefs. "Award-winning, widely-renowned" cheftestants compete, not dudes you don't recognize (but eventually learn to love deeply). Do the celeb chefs have time for television, on top of cookbook deals, blogs, and big deal kitchens? Will Bravo change its name to Top Chef-o?

Too much! Top Chef, Top Chef Kids, AND Top Chef Masters? They're going to basically run some version of Top Chef all year long, a never-ending cycle of Quick Fire challenges and "Please pack your knives and go." Bravo had better be careful before they dilute the brand too much.

Guess they have to make up for the lack of Project Runway in some way.. I heard a rumor they are adding a reality show about artists as well. I don't mind all of the spin-offs as long as the adorable baldness of Mr. Colicchio manages to show up on them all.

Exactly what I was going to say, notenoughspoons. Losing P:R hurts. It's a lot of programming hours and buzz they have to replace somehow. Spin-offs are one, uncreative, way to go.
