What to Watch on Wednesday: "Top Chef" plays ball

MasterChef (8pm, Fox) - Oh so trendy. The contestants are asked to make a single cupcake, which proves to be harder than it sounds. Then guest Cat Cora takes them to a truck stop for a team challenge.

Ghost Hunters (9pm, Syfy) - New episodes are back. The team investigates the Otesaga Resort in Cooperstown, NY. Read what a true fan thinks of tonight's Season 6 premiere.

Top Chef: Washington, DC (10pm, Bravo) - The six remaining chefs take over two concession stands at the Washington Nationals baseball park to create snacks that add a "high end culinary quality" to ballpark fare. Haughty Angelo started strong but Tiffany (right) is my favorite. I think it's Tiffany and Kevin (or Ed?) in the finale. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Tonight, baseball players Adam Dunn, Matt Capps, and John Lannan make appearances. The guest judge is chef Rick Moonen.

Psych (10pm, USA) - Shawn and Gus help a guard round up escaped inmates on a ferry boat en route to the Channel Islands. 

Criss Angel: Mindfreak (10pm, A&E) - Criss tries to break the Guiness World Record for the most people to "vanish" in one place. People are picked at random and shackled together.

What to Watch on Wednesday: Behold the Top Chef antihero

Leverage (9pm, TNT) - TNT ordered two extra episodes of this drama for their summer season, so you'll get your "Leverage" fix until September 9. Griffin Dunne and Will Wheaton guest star tonight and the episode is directed by Dean Devlin, the show's producer.

Criss Angel: Mindfreak (10pm, A&E) - Criss Angel tries to raise an entire crowd in a mass levitation in Las Vegas, plus he'll raise you right at home. Through the TV. Right off the ground.

Top Chef: Las Vegas (10pm, Bravo) - It's too early to pick a clear favorite, but last week's premiere was enough to tell us that we are definitely not pulling for Michael Isabella (right), an obnoxious Jersey boy working out of D.C.  Self-confidence is not a problem for this guy, but chauvinism is. The show has some extremely talented (and interesting) chefs this season, including competing brothers from Maryland and Ron Duprat, who spent 27 days at sea traveling from Haiti to the U.S. Last week, Ron didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "vice," but he cooks a mean sea bass. Tonight, the men are pitted against the women, as the groups vie to cater a poolside bachelor-and-bachelorette party. Chef Todd English is the guest judge.
