Caught up with Master Chef, Suzy really doesn't like Christine it seems. I'm glad Christine did well and it sucked Jennifer floundered.

I'm confused about Suzy. I get she's confident in her abilities but you think at some point it would get through that she needs to make some changes. Although I was confused by the Chefs attitude that you can't cook food from a country you haven't been to.

MC was just so over the top last night. I could not believe it!

I'm trying to ignore Joe for the most part. He reminds me of one of the judges on Chopped who gets really pissy when people don't act like it's life and death "This is a SERIOUS competition!!!!!!" while judging a plate of food that had to using weird combinations like sole, fennel, rum, marshmallows, and hot peppers.

Suzy just doesn't seem to get it; she seems (to me) somewhat less clueless than Esther was, but she's not getting it. I think, maybe, the point that she'd never been to Germany was that she seemed completely clueless as to what German food should be and in the past she's made a point of reminding people that her family's from India.

And, watching Ben, I was thinking - however he does in the competition, his mother should start up a business selling chef's hats in wacky prints.

Project Runway starts tomorrow with a road to the runway special before it, in case anyone wants to set their DVR.

Yes, but (at least in what we saw) they were giving her shit over it before she had actually produced anything to demonstrate one way or the other. It seemed weird to me. Unless you're Bourdain, standing on that principle would be pretty limiting.

Okay I had sworn off Project Runway after the Mondo judging fiasco. I wonder. If this season will be better? Even my own mother hated Gretchen.

Well ... last night, after Master Chef, my TV decided it wasn't going to get any of the Ion channels. So I reran the channel finder ... and it decided it didn't want to let me see Fox (which would have meant no SYTYCD). Didn't want to let me set it manually, either. Took about three tries, but it was registering when I turned it off.

If it doesn't let me watch SYTYCD tonight, I will be MOST annoyed.

In other news, if anyones' interested, CW is rerunning the "Plain Jane" show. It's kind of a makeover, but more positive - gives young women confidence-building exercises and such. Tomorrow, I think, they're showing the one where they throw the woman out of an airplane (yes, she has a parachute).

Project Runway starts tomorrow

Ooh, yay! My neighbor did the lighting in the house for them this season.

I missed the beginning -- who is the other guest judge on SYTYCD this week?
