Casey has been "low" more than Marcel was -- but I think that this season's contestants are generally better than season 2's so I'm not sure that means anything.
Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
Theoretically, this is Sara N's interview at chow.com but it is still downloading for me.
BB: The last 5 minutes of tonight's show got caught off. Did anything exciting happen after whatshername got HOH?
Dick started trying to call out Jameka of all people for being a liar. That's about it.
Thanks Brenda!
What an ass.
Finally saw Top Chef. Brief notes:
1. Howie is such a dick. And not bulldoggish at all. This is a slur on bulldogs, who are stubborn as all hell, but mostly incredibly sweet-natured and affectionate and not Howie-like at all. Can we call him rat terrierish instead (marginally tractable one-on-one, agitated and snappish and bitey in large groups), please?
2. He so should have gone home instead of Sara N, except that she sounded in her interview like she'd just hit a wall and gotten so weary and so done with it all that she was relieved to go. Still, he should have gone. Howie gone probably would have gone a long way toward restoring her spirit.
3. OMG I love Ted so much. The thoughtful and classy apology in his blog was lovely on its own, but almost as good was "Two words: Ba. Con." Now I'm all mournful and missing Queer Eye all over again.
4. Tre in a wifebeater and apron, making beautiful comfort food at aught-o'clock in the morning: GUH.

Oh yes. Bunk.

Yes. This alone should have won him the challenge.
I agree with what you said about Howie cf bulldogs. Howie is a much more bitter and angry creature and more difficult to work with. Possibly more of a snapping turtle.
Yes. This alone should have won him the challenge.
Seriously. From the way the show was edited (completely unnecessary but hot scene of Tre talking about taking off his shirt), I think the powers that be knew that too.
Hmm.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Part of the problem I have with the challenge was the way in which it sexualized and effectively demeaned the women. I'm not altogether comfortable with sexualizing Tre's cooking here as well. Or I guess, if I'm going to do that, I better not rant about the women's clothing.
