I haven't watched the latest Design Star yet, but I have to say I think Todd is their best choice. I think the other two are very good, sure, but not in a way that stick outs, you know? So when you look at the Star part of Design Star, I just don't see what they'll be doing that's all that compelling.
I mean, I'm sure they can come up with something. But Todd's got the hook already. And while his stuff would sometimes, possibly mostly be unliveable, it is pretty cool to watch - like the surfboard living room thing. He's also got the dynamic and memorable personality thing. (Again, probably totally unliveable in practice, but for a show - )
The Chicago Tribune has a fun article on Tim Gunn, written by Maureen Ryan, their TV critic and a big fan of him and PR.
I love that Hung had to make the comment about the "closed minded judge"
I can't believe the promo saying that the spam and eggs goes perfectly with a Bombay Sapphire cocktail. Seriously??
Only if you're eating breakfast in Vegas after a three day binge
Okay, I haven't watched, so I have to duck out of this thread, but can I just say how infinitely amused I am by the minimal comments here already? Bwah!
I loved Hung's wacky quickfire dish. So insanely smurftastic.
And Howie -- omg. I think he knew he was going anyway and that's why he volunteered. And seriously - last year Mia volunteered and they let her go. (Although, I think in that instance they already knew who their winners were and were just going over the bottom three.)
And whoo hoo for Casey and Sarah! Two of the top three!
What Bourdain says about next week:
There will be a SlaughterFest of Horror, an Orgy of Bloodletting, Partial Nudity, Flammable Liquids, Unspeakable Misuse of Power Tools and Small Woodland Creatures, and the Plaintive Wailing of the Doomed. It will make Altamont look like Lilith Fair.
