I like Sweet Pea! I mean, the dress was a disaster, but as a person (and usually as a designer) she's pretty awesome.

I used to like her until one of the real women challenges when she spent several minutes complaining about how "huge" her model was. It's annoying enough when the men do it, but when a woman who is not exactly a size 2 herself does it, I find it particularly distasteful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was not happy with who went home. I thought that Sweet P's dress was terrible. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like Elisa's outfit, but at least it was made well and had, as Nina says, a point of view. Sweet P sewed a bunch of towels together. It was heavy and bulky and unattractive. She didn't even do anything with the towels, she just sewed them together.

ITA. It feels like the judges didn't so much look at who made the better look this week, but who would mentally survive the weeks ahead. I can understand them thinking "Ooh, do we really want to go through this with Elisa every week?" and letting her go, but this week she did NOT have the worst look.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

This is an incredibly entertaining writeup of The Celebrity Cook Off show on Food Network.

Art Crawl!!!

Food Network has a new show called "The Big Waste" which is supposed to highlight the amount of food that gets wasted regularly. (It's on at 10 pm and 1 am Eastern.)

Because books.

Tabatha Takes Over premieres tonight, and although it's another salon tonight, this season she's apparently taking over all kinds of places, which should be cool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And Face Off, the special-effects makeup competition show is back tomorrow. I swear, I will watch any competition.

Because books.

What channel is that? Because I've never seen it, and it does look like something I would happily watch, especially since I seem to be over Top Chef.

It's on SyFy.

Ooh, I liked Face Off!

I stumbled across a Face Off marathon, and almost couldn't watch it because one guy was abusing the word "literally" SO MUCH that it was painful to me! But I managed to get past that, and am enjoying the first season quite a bit.
