more to the point: why do they seem to dismiss the fact that there are professional pastry chefs who perhaps should be better suited to cooking desserts than those who are sous chefs and designing the menus for the main courses?

I hate that they get mad when these chefs don't do a good dessert as if cooking dessert is an equivalent activity. Yes, I know it is for the entertainment value, but it ticks me off.

I was watching sort of with one eye, because I was doing an online chat, but I need to watch the whole thing through and really pay attention.

Also, aw! Michael Kors got married!

From that article:

The pair met in 1990, when LePere began working as an intern for Kors's company.

That's really impressive! I mean, a lot of people schtup the intern, but to be together 20 years later?

Schtup! Heh.

And the, er, intern was a good deal younger, based on that picture.

I'm sorry I decided to watch Project Runway in real time tonight. There was a lot I would have liked to FF past in the workroom. But the judging is fun.

I did not hate the loser's look as much as the judges did, but I don't think she's made anything for any challenge that really looks like her portfolio.

And we actually see Nina in the winning garment! That's awesome. And she looks good.

I don't know about next week...

PR: I wish Nina could be the client every week because she has the best stankface ever. And I loved her little "No". Diva. I enjoyed her in the winning look more than I thought I would, but I still think that's a lot of gold fabric for an office day look. Then again, I don't work at Marie Claire, so what do I know? (Although I wish I did, because Nina's boss is a hoot!) Cannot wait for TLo's Ninacaps.

I didn't think Julie's look was all that bad. I could at least see what she was going for. Bryce's was the worst of the bunch. Even if the hem had been well made, it still would've been ugly.

SYTYCD: I had a lot to say but I've been too busy to get here which is just sad. So now I'll just say that I was happy the Melanie won because she is fabulous but my heart broke each time one of the final four got eliminated and I think Marko and Sasha could've been solid contenders for the win any other season had they been in them (well, maybe not S2 because the Benji machine was unstoppable).

I was surprised that there were so many enjoyable routines in what has seemed to me a rather unremarkable season (from a choreo standpoint). But I agree with Megan that I might re-watch only a couple - the wall dance with Kent and Sasha, Melanie and Marko's statue dance, maybe the Marko/Allison piece by Sonya but that's mainly because the two of them are such gorgeous dancers. There weren't a lot of stunning pieces for me this season. In fact, the best one that got a repeat was the Sonya Top 10 girls. Love that geisha goodness - 10s across the board! Blonde Alex? Hell to the no!

S6 on Ovation is rocking my world. Jakob Karr. He was the truth. I still love Russell, but man, Jakob! Why is he not an All Star? And Kathryn and Ellenore? Shut up. That was a solid season of dance. I think it doesn't get it's due because it was the weird fall season experiment and it was interrupted by baseball and everyone was suffering from SYTYCD fatigue. But S6 is a rocking little season.

I still love Russell, but man, Jakob! Why is he not an All Star?

I think the bigger question is, why is Robert? He has zero charisma. The only thing good about him as an All-Star is he doesn't pull away attention from the contestant, unlike someone like Allison. Which, maybe I just answered my own question, but, damn, get him off my screen.

Kevin was good, too, on S6.

Aww, I adored Robert. I think he's a great dancer and I thought he was a lot of fun.

I do wish there would be more S6 All-Stars. I'm always glad to see Kathryn; I think she's almost as good as Allison. Give her a couple years and she'll be unstoppable.

Jakob was amazing. I adored him. I loved Russell too, but everything Jakob did was basically magical.
