8 p.m. BRAVO Top Chef After 18 seasons of “Top Chef,” the format of the A Truly Special Bond season nale is both familiar and intensely antici- pated by any of this culinary competition’s longtime fans. It’s also elegant in its simplicity: The nal chefs are challenged to cook the nest meal they’ve ever prepared in their life. It’s unlikely any previous meal has carried higher stakes, because the outcome of this nal faceoff dictates whose name will be called in the closing moments, right after “The Next Top Chef Is ... ,” which also is the nale’s title. 9:33 p.m. HIST Alone As the remaining contestants continue their daily struggle to procure a reliable and consistent source of food, one participant shifts focus to what may be a chance at some bigger game in the new episode “The Buck.” As that hoped-for opportunity begins to look like a reality, however, so does the actual mag- nitude of what will be involved to succeed, especially in terms of the risks entailed. 10:30 p.m. BRAVO Top Chef Amateurs Frequent “Top Chef” judge Gail Simmons hosts this new half-hour spinoff, which premieres with two back-to-back episodes. In each episode, two am- ateur chefs compete head to head in some of the familiar challenges from past “Top Chef” episodes, such as the mise-enplace race and the blind taste test. Each non-professional is teamed with different “Top Chef” nalists and fan favorites to cook along- side them, including All-Stars Richard Blais, Tiffany Derry and Dale Talde.
