"Top Chef" Runner-Up Needs to Pay Up

16. If this guy took responsibility like his lawyer says then why on national TV did this jerk say that he was expecting his first child? Hey guy if you don't acknowledge your first born I don't think that's accepting responsibilty or making you father of the year. Hey wifey, did you know that your husband fathered a child that he never acknowledged or took care of? Don't you think if he did it to one child that he could do it to another child very easily? This guy must be so stupid that he goes on national TV after he has been hiding out all these years and he didn't think that the skeletons he was trying to hide in his closet would be exposed? Hey Blais you a$$hole if you won Top Chef were going to send a check to your daughter that you never took care of finally? Come on TMZ, are you going to investiage this? Isn't that what you do? This guy went on national TV looking for notoriety and you should give him exactly what he was looking for. If he isn't a dead beat then just post his cancel child support checks. I can't even imagining what this girl must have felt watching Top Chef and hearing this loser talk about another family after he was MIA for all these years. Embarass this a$$hole and make him suffer just like his daughter and her mother probably have been for all these years. What a pompous jerk this guy is to think he could put himself on nationally TV and get away with this. EXPOSE THE MUTHA F'ER!!! I can't wait to hear his BS excuses or see him cry on TV. Every dog has his day and this dogs day is coming. TMZ make sure that we all see it. This little girl and her mom needs some justice.

18. Another dead beat sperm donor...
He's getting off too easy since the child is already 17. Plus these so called father's think they can pay couple $$$.00 and they've done their part. I bet they don't even think twice about the fact that their kid cou;d be hungry, cold, or even homeless.
Toss his ass in jail if he don't pay up,

19. Any of you who are writing any horrible comments about the MOTHER should be ashamed of yourselves !! Imagine if that was you having to be single parent with no help, because the childs father took off. No one should be judge and jury unless you have walked in someone elses shoes . . . or are GOD. I really think its amazing how everyone points a finger @ the parent who raised a child alone and calls them a gold digger, yet praises an ABSENTEE father. What about this child- she is a victim of her fahers amnesia! How can he rest his head on a pillow and sleep soundly @ night ? The mother is only trying to do the right thing for the CHILD, not get rich. Now that she found this dirtbag deadbeat Dad she can get justice for her CHILD. It costs money to raise a child doesn't it ? She didn't have sex by herself did she? The results of your actions are 50/50 when you decide to go to bed with someone! Be a real father . Be there. No one wants to feel abandoned. Its not all about $$$$$$.
