Who is "Top Chef" REALLY treating like a "sex object" this season?

While I've been spending my Wednesday nights grumbling and muttering Tom Colicchio's name in anger as each new episode of Top Chef airs, I'm still tuning in. The frustration hasn't stopped me from cheering for the last remaining member of Team Rainbow (lesbian Jamie) or mining endless entertainment from watching the animated Carla.

This week's eliminee had some interesting comments in his exit interview, saying he felt like the show treated him like "some kind of sex object".

Find out who got eliminated and his juicy complaint after the SPOILER-hiding break.

It was Dr. Chase-lookalike and server of trio plates Jeff McInnis who was told to pack his knives this week. In an exit interview with People, he complained about how he was treated by the show:

I think the show used me as some kind of sex object. Every single show that I’ve ever seen, they have me with my shirt off in the beginning — which is kind of strange. I don’t run around the house naked half the time like they portrayed me. It seems like a camera was always following me around trying to find me whenever I’m taking my clothes off to change in the morning or at night. So, to be used like that is always fun.

That's true, we did get plenty of shots of Jeff putting t-shirts on, taking them off or just not wearing a t-shirt ... but if that's Top Chef treating a competitor as a sex object, someone at Bravo really needs to learn something about exploitation. After all, the GLAD logo has gotten far more screen time than Jeff's naked torso. Those shirtless shots just zip by while we're often treated to long looks at those GLAD packages, stares that linger like Elmer Fudd sizing up Bugs Bunny in drag .

Which one does Bravo find hotter? Jeff or a GLAD logo?

I'd actually say it's poor Fabio's larynx that should be complaining. Those Top Chef producers will find just about any excuse to ask Fabio what he thinks. Then again, who can get enough of him talking about serving "monkey ass" or sleeping on a "bunky bed" in that swoon-inspiring Italian accent of his?

What do you think? Who was this season's real sex object? Jeff? Fabio? The producer's logo usage guideline book? (Ed.: Scallops!) Or do Tom and Padma still reign as the sexiest part of Top Chef?
