Top Hat on Top Chef Contestant...

Chef hats have always made me giggle. And how could they not? But Top Chef: Chicago contestant Spike takes it to a whole other level. He seems to sport a different kind of (equally bad) hat in every episode. At first, I thought he was desperately trying to be all cool and suave, or trying to hide a bald spot, by rocking a fedora titled ever-so-carefully to the side.

But on tonight's episode, I realized he was just a hat-wearing tool. During his interviews he wore this atrocious basket-weaved, blue-trimmed baseball hat. I guess its his way of sticking out amongst the other contestants but ugh, all I could think about was Ricky Lizalde from Project Runway Season 4 with all those god-awful hats that never left his head. Yeah, we all remember that he cried at the drop of a dime, but how could we forget his mesh-covered, dominatrix hats?! Ricky even had the nerve to create a whole line of these hats for his "Sew Not Over" (Bravo challenge) collection.

Dear future Bravo show contestants, nix the hats, you'll just end up looking silly.
