Hold on to your knives, Top Chef fans, because a shocking elimination is right around the corner.

According to a source, one of Top Chef's four generally acknowledged season-six front-runners—Jennifer Carroll, Kevin Gillespie, Bryan Voltaggio and Mike Voltaggio—has let slip that he or she doesn't make it all the way, saying, "I got kicked off before the end."

The cheftestant in question revealed this info a couple of weeks ago during a casual conversation with a new acquaintance in the jewelry district of downtown Los Angeles. It could be part of a Bravo misinformation campaign, but we trust the source, so we're passing it along to you.

So who is it? We can't tell, but that doesn't mean you can't guess! Here's another clue: He or she has a number of wins under his or her belt, and he or she seemed to be coasting toward the final and very possibly the title of Top Chef!

Who do you think goes home unexpectedly? Take our Top Chef elimination shocker poll below:

Top Chef's two-part finale takes place in California's Napa Valley. One of the final four is eliminated in the Dec. 2 episode, and then the final three compete for the title of Top Chef Dec. 9.

Who do you think goes home early, and who should take the title? Tell us in the comments!
