Because books.

Top Designer? Or something?

I like Isaac any old time, because he's adorable. I'm just not sure I want to be in the Project Runway world without Heidi and Tim at least.

Also, no Santino? Hmph. But I guess with Austin on, that could be why On the Road With Austin and Santino hasn't come back, which is a shame, because that was 100% happiness every week.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Fashion Show? House of Something? I forget.

I hadn't really processed the no Tim part. I guess he can't be everywhere. Man, wouldn't the world be such a better place if he could?

Well, he would be my best friend, for one. When Cat wasn't around, you know.

He'd be all of our best friend. That's the beauty of the Tim is Everywhere Plan.

Well, all right.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Master Chef - they're down to the top five. Last night for the pressure/elimination, they had to scale, filet, cut into at least 10 portions, then cook - perfectly - one portion of a king salmon. One big fish per person.

One good thing - as they get closer to the end, the judges seem to be recognizing that those they're eliminating are good and offering consolations.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

That one for the loser last night was phenomenal! It was incredibly generous. She'll be better off in the long run than the winner, IMHO.

That was huge, quester! I was so impressed. I also really love Ramsay on this show, and I've never really liked him before this. Whole different side, sort of, but still that edge.

Well, Ramsey's douchery is diluted by the other 2 chefs. The skinny one is more unpleasant, though he doesn't swear and the heavier one is a more pleasant presence than the other 2.

Thrive to spite them

I liked Gordon Ramsay from the UK Kitchen Nightmares. There's less yelling in that. Plus there were a lot of times when he was really encouraging of the different staffs, even if he hated the owners/head chefs. I know there were a few occasions when he offered people jobs or training because he was impressed by how well they did.
