The elimination challenge this week on 'Top Chef: Texas' (Wed., 10PM ET on Bravo) was particularly brutal. The chefs were divided into three teams for a chili cookoff, but immediately one team seemed to be at a disadvantage.

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

At least, Nyesha thought they were as she was paired with both Beverly and Richie. As she anticipated, the trio did not impress with their hint of chocolate. Cowboys don't want sweet in their chili almost as much as they don't want beans!

When Bravo's 'Top Chef: Texas' debuts on Wed., Nov. 2 at 10PM ET, there will be 29 contestants. Twenty-nine.

However, by the end of the premiere, only 16 will get to put on the 'Top Chef' coat and compete as official cheftestants. The 16 official contestants will then compete across the state of Texas in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio.

"I'm so excited for everyone at home to get a glimpse of all the great and talented chefs," 'Top Chef' host Padma Lakshmi said in a statement. "This season is bigger and better than ever! Yum!"
