I'd say Steven should go!

Watched the Top Chef tv program earlier today.
It is a show featuring a group of people who at least has substantial if not some culinary skills.
However, pretty sad to say, some of them lacked the relevant skills while others seem to overdo things.
One of them is Steven The Sommelier.
Well, i am confused right from the beginning.
How could a sommelier be an expert in the culinary area?
Subsequent episodes confirmed my doubts.
But after rounds of elimination, Steven's still there.
This, i can't believe.
By the way, a sommelier is a restaurant employee who orders and maintains the wines sold in the restaurant and usually has extensive knowledge about wine and food pairings.
I'm not exactly a fan of this show so i did not "race" episodes after episodes to catch it but i remember clearly that Steven guy.
Sorry for those who liked Steven, I'm sorry to say,
but Steven is quite a laughing stock
He overdo things and couldn't understand every situations he is in.
There was one of the episode featuring a challenge for them to sell "street- foods" in the street of a laid- back town with only a small cart provided to them to sell the fusion streetfoods they created.
I don't quite remember the name of the town but i think its Mexico.
I'm utterly-muted!
Steven wore a suit complete with a brightly coloured shiny- surfaced tie in his attempt to "promote" his street food.
That's equivalent to selling hamburgers by the roadside in your evening gown!
Well, he justified that he wanna bring higher- ends stuffs to the streets.
Anyway, his attempts in doing that was hilarious.
In addition, he's overdoing his feeling of needing to depart his knowledge of wines to both his customers and peers.
One word. Suffocating.
Anyway, other than that, this show is worth the time to watch.
By the way, I thought Dave was quite good.
The show doesn't only attempt to test the chefs in terms of their culinary skills only,
but too on their social and business skills.
Those who couldn't take in the test are eliminated while those who passed some of them may be given the immunity against being a possible eliminee.
Catch it for those of you who likes both challenges and creative- cooking!
