Responding to the complaints/accusations regarding Lisa's continued presence on the show, Tom Colicchio once again goes blogging to defend Top Chef's integrity: "I'm compelled to give my once-a-season response to those cynics out there who insist we make our decisions to manipulate the ratings. If I sound defensive, I think I'm entitled ... I think Lisa, along with a few chefs from past seasons, benefited from a phenomenon I call the 'lucky-dog-who-keeps-skating-by-effect.'" [Bravo]
