I've enjoyed Top Chef up until this episode. Clearly Tiffani lost the challenges, and yet they booted Dave for tv ratings.
Edit to whitefont spoilers.
Kaylee: H-how did you... g-get on...? Early: Strains the mind a bit, don't it? You think you're all alone. Maybe I come down the chimney, Kaylee. Bring presents to the good girls and boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You should spoiler-font that, Eddie. (Awesome, thanks.) But also, he didn't complete all of the challenges! That's a huge problem.

Yes, but what about Stephen using fresh herbs instead of dried? He won that challenge.

Possibly I didn't see that one. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do think Dave makes great TV, sometimes better than Tiffani, especially if she's going to be all Miss Not-Busting-On-Other-People-At-Table like she was this time.

Yeah, Dave is a bit of a drama queen... the outcome just seemed a bit fixed to me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just drank a bunch of [yellow tail] (sorry for the preciousness of reproducing the label), inspired by the recent article in the NYT. It's not so bad! The syrah is little sweet, but totally drinkable at like $8 a bottle. I'm trying to drink more wine and thought that starting at the bottom might be an inexpensive start.
Oh, and now I'm drunk.

Yeah, Yellow Tail is just fine. It's no TwoThree-Buck Chuck, though. Pricey! Actually, TJs has a bunch of $4 wines, too. TJs FOREVER.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Suela, you are a Dunnett fan? My MiL is on several Dunnett lists, she even mentioned that there are a lot of fans that are also into Buffy. ha ha ha. If you are moving in the same circles, I will laugh.
I am sad to say that my wine tastes have been creeping upwards of late. I usually spring for the $10 bottles.

See, but this is cheaper, in a sense. This is available at 10:30 at night on my way home from the gym. I *still* haven't been to TJs, which is a few avenues away and god knows when 1. it's open and 2. I'm in the neighborhood (Bob's out of town). They do have a pretty good selection, though. Are there any wine-drinking buffistas? I hear lots about scotch, NSM about wine. ETA: crossposted with burrell.
Still drunk. Also thinking, good thing there's no intense threads for me to avoid, and I miss show threads. Hmmmm. We need a new kerfuffle about a TV thread, right? It's time?

Holy crap -- Rumer Willis is graduating from high school. I feel old.
Oh, also about TAR, I thought it was funny that the Frat Boys were like, "We don't know where that came from! We're college drop-outs! We wanted the money because we have crappy jobs!"
