(Above: A sneak peek of tonight's Top Chef. Proper egg cookery is everything!)

Unless they've changed the format more than we anticipate, tonight should be the annual "Chairs" episode of American Idol, in which contestants sit across from the judges to be given a final yes or no answer about getting into the top 36. And really, what else do you have to do with the two hours tonight's show will occupy? Read a book? (Fox, 8 p.m.)

On tonight's Lost, Locke tries to stop the island from time-traveling. Good luck with that. (ABC, 9 p.m.)

My favorite title of the day? Discovery's I Was Bitten: Episode 3. Now that sounds like a good story, which Discovery is advertising as an exploration of "extreme bites." I wonder if I can still catch up if I missed Episode 1 and Episode 2. (Discovery, 10 p.m.)

Tonight's Top Chef is called "The Last Supper," but I'm pretty sure it's not the Last Supper you're thinking of. Please write your own unbelievably tacky jokes about what challenges might be presented to the aspiring chefs, as well as what nitwit came up with the title "The Last Supper." (Bravo, 10 p.m.)
