I liked the way she dealt with it when Howie challenged her. Of course, he acted like a spoiled brat with slamming the oven door and making faces.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I occasionally catch bits of Mad TV and this past Saturday they had a parody of Project Runway. The challenge? to come up with a new, modern, outfit for a leprechaun.

I love that she showed that it was possible to manage Howie. He challenged her, then pouted and sulked, but he did what she asked. Love it.
So is it permissible for me to totally be a fair weather fan, and go back to liking her? I guess now top three for me would be CJ, Casey, and Sara.
The SO says that Tre is good enough that losing might be the best thing that ever happened to him. He thinks he'll totally be able to make it on his own.

I think so too. He is mature, talented, and sexy. Plus, people know who he is and like him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just watched last night's BB, and what the fucking fuck? I hate each and every one of them (especially Eric), and also CBS. Naked challenge? Kissing tasks? I mean, seriously. I'm afraid starting pretty soon, everyone's going to keep Dick around in hopes of going to the final two with him, and that's just gross.

I'm with Bourdain, though - Casey's knife skills were so staggeringly bad that I find it hard to keep her up there. And Hung is becoming more appealing as some of the arrogance leaches out.

Yeah, I have a feeling Tre's going to fare pretty well from this.

Yeah, no shit, Jesse. I'm kind of hoping Zack turns out to be some sort of dark horse, since he's about the only one I don't actively despise now that Jen's gone.

seriously! And could they have been any more condescending and belittling towards Amber when she was talking about modeling?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
TC: Yeah, I could be talked into that, brenda. I forgot to read Bourdain's blog. Lemme go do that now.
Also it seems clear now and at the beginning that Hung had some real skills, it just was getting covered up by the persona. Which I think it really was, as he seems to have settled down now. Didn't he mention in the first episode that he sort of intended to be the asshole? But since then he's encountered an actual asshole, so maybe it doesn't seem like such a good idea to him anymore.
I think he does have a good bit of actual arrogance, but if that can be tempered into pride of workmanship, that could end up being a good thing.

He whipped through those chickens, like whoa. Casey was painful with those onions, I could have done a better job easily. I felt slightly better about it because winning the challenge didn't really seem to help them. Frankly, having Stephen talk wine to me woud have been a detriment, not a help. I would have commented on the annoying sommelier.
