Top Chef: Hot Hookups and Cool Smackdowns!

What happened on Top Chef? Plenty

So much deliciousness.

And we aren't even talking about the food.

Tonight's "Restaurant Wars" episode was jam-packed with tasty drama. Hosea and Leah's simmering flirtation got serious with a late-night cuddle session. But morning-after regrets—and maybe the fact they got caught on camera—hang so heavy that they can't get in the game for the biggest challenge yet: opening a restaurant and facing the withering judgments of Tom Colicchio and Padma Lakshmi.

We almost feel sorry for them. But we don't. We feel sorry for their partners back home—and whoever had to eat that cod dish.
