I think she should have explained it better. I think that professional kitchens are still so male-dominated it's like when women had to wear suits that looked totally like a men's suit with a skirt in order to be taken seriously. So, if you come into work all dresssed up to go out - who is going to take you seriously?

Part of the problem I have with the challenge was the way in which it sexualized and effectively demeaned the women.

why do you think the challenge was sexualized? As it happened, the men were better dressed to cook, but the women made the choice of their outfits. The other Sara(h) didn't have any problems with her outfit, that was a choice they made.

The bloggin Top Chef people posted this picture of Sara N's shoes. I'm guessing that state law probably meant that TC had to have proper shoes for the chefs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FYI, tonight's Big Brother started about 11 minutes late.

Thrive to spite them

If I was Eric, maybe I wouldn't do this one, it could really screw him up to sell out Dustin.

And America's track record has been so good up to this point...

I'm liking him less and less, but I do feel for the guy. Most of his problems are totally not his fault.

Eric seriously needs to chill out. Also, why didn't he ever say, "Right. I voted to keep Nick in. Because I WANTED TO KEEP NICK IN."
