Top Chef Nick Should Have Resigned! [VIDEO] Bravo Cooking Show Unfair After Worst Dish Stays In Reality Competition

Do you think Nick should have resigned form Top Chef tonight? The Top Chef elimination was unfair and heartbreaking. Nick brought down his team with the losing dish but another great chef was sent home because Nick had immunity. If he resigned it would have been honorable and he's be known for his craft AND his morals.

Frontrunner Stephanie, whom had a winning dish, was sent because of Nick's missteps. The elimination can usually involve a chef that won the challenge the week before, but this weeks Top Chef elimination was was extraordinarily unfair.

Nick won the Top Chef quick fire challenge, but by just a hair in front of Shirley. It included preparing dishes that showcased their ability to cook meticulously. It was all about technique, not creativity and showcased French food which Nick is adept at. But having the worst dish of the entire night catapulting Stephanie home...Nick should have resigned.

Though Nick won immunity from winning the quick-fire, the dish he prepared during the elimination challenge was terrible, and he refused to change it even when advised to. If it wasn't for his awful dish, his team would have clearly won because the other dishes were so strong.

Nick was on the losing team with Stephanie and Shirley, sending home one of the other teammates who performed miraculously.

 Their team was French cooking, which Louis and Shirley are adept at, so Stephanie and the other chefs knew she was going home as soon as it was announced that they were the losing team.

But Nick had the worst dish. And Stephanie had a great dish. So is this fair?

The judges asked Nick if he would resign. Although it seems like the noble thing to do, Nick would not give away his immunity and stayed in the competition.

Should Nick have walked away? Or is this just all part of the game?

It's unnerving when a good chef goes home because they are on the 'losing team.' I hate that about competition reality shows. The whole team aspect can ruin the chances for a worthy competitor while a bad chef on a winning team can just coast along.

This happens often on Top Chef. It would be nice for the winner to actually be a good chef instead of choosing the wrong knife during team picking.

This happens over and over on Top Chef,  but also other reality competitions, when a strong competitor gets dragged down by their teammates.

Would even the strongest famous chefs out there have succeeded on Top Chef if they were placed with weak cooks?

This happens often on Project Runway. People that always win challenges get eliminated while others that coast along in the middle stay on the show. Frequently a contestant on Project Runway will win without having ever won a single challenge.

So should Nick have resigned? I think he should have. And here are my reasons.

If he walked away from this doing the honorable thing he would be well respected for his craft and morals.

And most likely he won't win, so he walks away a double loser.

In the slight case that he does win, he will always be known as the winner that won unfairly.

Do you think Nick should have resigned?
