You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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!

Art Crawl!!!

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

TC I am sooo glad Howie is finally gone! I agree with you Sumi that he knew he was leaving anyway, and tried to pretend he had some control over it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was basically what he was saying in the wait-around room -- fuck them if they want to fire me, I quit!

Ooh, from Ted's blog:

It’s been two weeks and I’m still bummed about voting off Tre -- all of the judges thought he was a strong contender to win the whole gonza magilla. (Although I just got some exciting news about Tre today that I can’t publish; just know that good things continue for Chef Wilcox -- I’ll share the news when I can.)

Punishingly Intricate

I can't believe the promo saying that the spam and eggs goes perfectly with a Bombay Sapphire cocktail. Seriously??

ha! Bombay Sapphire cocktails go well with EVERYTHING! (If Bravo is to be believed.)

Did anyone watch the Tim Gunn thing after Top Chef? Was it the whole first ep of his show? I thought the premiere was tonight.

It was a sneak peak and I didn't watch it because I had to go watch the Roddick-Federer match. What an excellent night of tennis!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

lisah - it was the whole first episode.

I thought it was interesting, similar to the What Not to Wear format, and yet a more, all encompassing approach. At least with this woman. She even met with a life coach. And the gifts on top of the clothes!!! Sign me up!!!!
