Well, well, well. The "Dinner Party" episode of Top Chef certainly was chock-full of revelations, wasn't it? Not only was our investment in a possible Mike Voltaggio-Jennifer Carroll pairing torpedoed by the reveal that Mike V. has not one but two young daughters, but Ash all but threw himself on his sword to protect team partner Mike V. Maybe we were looking at the wrong love connection this whole time!

Virtually the only storyline that wasn't shocking was Mike Isabella's continued insistence on being an obnoxious blowhard. Ergh. Somebody muzzle that guy.

Now, which of last night's surprising moments stood out most for you?
