Johnny Avello, Steve Wynn’s director of Race and Sports Operations, has posted the newest odds for Top Chef: Las Vegas for the fourth week airing tonight on Bravo. It is now down to 14 contestants from the original 17 chefs.

Here are the chefs, followed by their starting and current odds:

Michael Voltaggio, 11/1, 3/1; Jennifer Carroll, 20/1, 4/1; Kevin Gillespie, 8/1, 5/1; Eli Kirshtein, 22/1, 8/1; Bryan Voltaggio, 15/1, 10/1; Hector Santiago, 18/1, 15/1; Ash Fulk, 35/1, 20/1; Robin Leventhal, 28/1, 22/1; Ashley Merriman, 30/1, 25/1; Ron Duprat, 7/1, 28/1; Mattin Noblia, 10/1, 30/1; Michael Isabella, 25/1, 35/1; Laurine Wickett, 14/1, 40/1; and Jesse Sandlin, 12/1, 50/1.

As always, we must point out that Johnny’s odds are for entertainment purposes only and not for wagering.

All episodes of the new season have been filmed in and around Las Vegas, and last week, the chefs were faced with cooking at our Nellis Air Force Base for the Thunderbird crews. Tonight, it’s “Viva Las Vegas,” a tough French connection challenge with French guest star chefs Joel Robuchon from MGM Grand, Daniel Boulud from the Wynn, Hubert Keller from Mandalay Bay, Laurent Tourondel from The Mirage and Jean Joho from the Paris.
