Emmanuel Delcour

It was recently revealed that Emmanuel Delcourt, student on Bravo's Chef Academy is indeed notable adult film star Jean Val Jean. The interesting thing is Bravo's reaction that one of their competitors has a seed past.

It looks like Bravo is back to the same storyline of "one of our stars has dirt on the net, can you find it". How many times can Bravo use this same tired publicity tactic? Critics and fans have reacted with criticism, is the show about cooking or it's contestant's porn star past? Do all Bravo's shows need this type of "attention" to be successful?
