Sadly, it looks like Mia's restaurant (Mia - from Season 2 of Top Chef) has gone out of business.
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Top Chef: Yahoo Quickfire preview.
Also, over at TWOP, I hear that in a preview for Tim Gunn's new show it says that the season 4 PR designers will be introduced on Tim's show.

Okay, I saw the promo and during the premiere of Tim Gunn's new show (premiere's this Thursday) they will introduce the season 4 designers.

Watching Living with Ed and he has our microwave. Our absurdly TOO MUCH microwave. It's not energy efficient. What a crock!

Design Star:
Will may not be Mr. Hosty Host, but he did the absolute best job last night of all 3 contestants. The judging was BAD.

I agree - I think that he could learn to be a better host but I'm not sure that, Kim, for example, can learn to be a better designer.
Todd is at least interesting. I would have loved a finale between Todd and Will.
Actually, I think that they work well together and a show with that team would be good.

I agree. Will's room was the best. Todd is definitely the most dynamic, but I worry that his "concepts" might override giving people what they actually want. I fear he could wind up being a potential Hildi from Trading Spaces. Not as ridculous as her, but along those lines.
Kim bores me. I know they think she's a natural host but I just feel blah when I watch her. And her design ability is just average for me. I don't think she'd wreck a room, but there's no wow factor at all in any of her designs.

Apparently Kim posted in her blog about all the challenges she had in doing that room. Now, I don't really love her design ability, but last night's show really should have been 1.5-2 hours and shown us all the crap the designers had to go through.
For instance, apparently the WV family insisted on carpet and the only carpet store had very few options for carpet color. She chose the darkest one!

Punishingly Intricate
I liked Will's design but thought Todd & Kim had much harder challenges. Especially Kim. I watched with my 6 & 9 year old nieces and they are so very much rooting for "the girl" to win. It's adorable!
