Preview of Tonight's 'Top Chef' Season Six Premiere in Las Vegas

Tonight is a double whammy night for Top Chef. Before the three remaining chefs compete on Top Chef Masters at 10 p.m., the sixth season of Top Chef (aka the original one) will premiere at 9 p.m. with seventeen new faces running around Las Vegas. Watch these two preview clips to get in the mood. Highlights include Tom Colicchio in a vest, one cheftestant thinking that shucking clams is synonymous with shucking oysters (ha! the nerve!), and scantily-clad Vegas dancers balancing intense feather headgear. Read all about the new cheftestants here. The videos, after the jump.

I love love love Tom, but omg, the vest. It's hard to take him seriously in that.
