Top Chef: Las Vegas
10/9c Bravo
The gourmets hammed it up last week, taking on pork-themed food and pairing it with vintage wine. But this was dining and whining, as catty dustups revolved around Robin and later the Voltaggio brothers, who are taking sibling rivalry to new heights. We now advance to tonight's supersize event (drum roll): the Restaurant Wars challenge. Here, the cooks must manage all matters of a restaurant, including serving, cooking and hosting. Top Chef Masters player Rick Moonen serves as the guest judge.

Cops and crooks may be on different sides of the law, but on TV, both groups are generally good-looking.
Need proof? How about upstanding law enforcers such as Bones' Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and Law & Order: SVU's Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and crooked con men such as Lost's Sawyer (Josh Holloway)?
There're far too many to list here, so that's where you come in. We want to know: Who are TV's sexiest crime fighters and criminals?
Share your picks and the reasons after the jump.

The Middle
8:30/7:30c ABC
Originally developed — and shelved — for the 2006-07 TV season with Ricki Lake in the lead, this sitcom was finally given the green light when Patricia Heaton came on board. No offense to Ms. Lake, but with a two-time Emmy winner as the star, The Middle probably has a better shot at breaking out of the pack. The Everybody Loves Raymond vet plays a harried, married mother of three in a quirky Midwestern family that will no doubt be compared with the Malcolm in the Middle clan, but clever dysfunctional slapstick never goes out of style.
