Because books.

I know! Total travesty. Muppet Babies are so ... not Muppets.

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

Also, Charlize Theron is charming!

I found her terrifying! She seemed very into her serial killer character. Maybe a little too much.

But man, that food looked amazing.

I agree. She weirded me the fuck out.

I also thought the food looked delicious.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I love this kind of challenge, when it comes down to the nitpicky details. And, for my money, you can't have too much cheese in risotto. Or anything, really.

I usually agree with this, but I can see two exceptions wrt risotto. One is if it makes the risotto too salty and two if you're trying to cover up the fact that you didn't make the risotto creamy enough by adding extra cheese. I don't remember if either was the reason why too much cheese was a problem in this case. It was a really great challenge in general. I hated to see Beverly leave, I really wanted her to make all the haters shut up.

Oof, that was a rough Last Chance Kitchen.

PR: I really loved Anthony's dress, though maybe more for a magazine cover.The top three were all pretty good. I'm afraid I would have sent Austin home, though. Those bows were awful. OTOH, he did sing the Muppet Show theme song heading to the runway, so bonus points for that. If they weren't all thinking that, they should've been.

They didn't make any other comment about the risotto, except that it was a little underdone. The cheese ting came (seemingly) out of nowhere. Bod course, maybe they talked about it and it got cut.

Re: PR, I thought Ramis dress was the best. Also, it would actually look good on a puppet.

I kept seeing Pretty Woman when I looked at Rami's dress. When I finally figured that out and saw it objectively, I liked it very much.

Art Crawl!!!

hahahaha!

Sigh. I'm not sure how Austin made it out. What was he thinking?

I didn't quite understand Michael's win but whatever - there were some very good choices. (I liked Rami's too.)

Wow, I just looked after seeing a tweet--the new Newsies is going to have FOUR SYTYCD guys in it! Thayne, Jess, Evan, and Alex Wong!
