The challenge was to produce something that would fit in with "Bertolli's Italian Mediterranean-style Meals." Bertolli's Italian is the brand, Mediteranean-style was the product line. So I can see why the contestants were confused.

I also think they're smart enough to know at this point that tasting good is more important than following the challenge to the letter, and truffle butter tastes really good. So it was a pretty safe risk to take.

I thought the same thing as Jesse about the pasta, but then I remembered the brand of pasta I buy is Barilla, not Bertolli.

Ah-ha! That explains it.

Mom's hairstylist's daughter met Cedric! She went to some kind of dance camp thing and he was there and Shane Sparks and the daughter talked with Cedric for a bit. She said he was really sweet and took a bunch of the classes/workshops offered.

There were also a bunch of choreographers and dancers from Hairspray and the some of the campers ended watching Hairspray.

I don't know exactly when this was or where it was though.

OMG. Mission: Man Band.

I saw a commercial for that the other day, after someone posted about the band in Natter. The guy from Color Me Badd looks badd.

They all look terrible, not leastly because those pictures are awful. [link]

Oh, I must have missed it in Natter before. Oh, but now that I think about it, I seem to recall skimming by talk of LFO and not knowing why.

I'm actually kind of shocked that Color Me Badd dude is only two years older than Chris K.

Yeah, I thought Color Me Badd was older. Who knew? (Hmm, actually, I guess I thought they were all YOUNGER, though--they're all older than I am, which surprises me)

TWOP did a "review" too.

Holy crap, that was hilarious.
