The final four: "Top Chef" power rankings

Another week off meant another week to forget who made the "Top Chef" final four and who got dumped like a bad plate of stuffing prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Ah, but how could we forget Eli -- or Fatty Costello for all eternity, thanks to Ms. Quarter's delightful nickname. It was pretty much a given that he was next to go once "Top Chef" revealed that Eli had a connection to Richard Blais. You don't sit on that kind of information all season and randomly release it unless someone is set to pack their bags. Way to telegraph that move, Bravo.

Anyway, it's onto the final four in Napa Valley. Jen bounced back with a Quickfire win two weeks ago, but Kevin pulled out another Elimination Challenge victory -- much to the chagrin of Mikey "I make fancy-pants dishes in my sleep" Voltaggio. Only two more episodes left ... and chances to catch Evan (you know, unless we toss in a delicious last-minute wrinkle like last year ... muwahahahahaha).

How it all shakes out: Evan, 41; Adam, 31; Boyd, 27; T-Roz, 26; Ms. Q, 25; Mary, 21; Kelly, 21; MJ, 16.
