Well danced, overly literal manipulative twaddle, which I suppose is better than poorly danced twaddle, but not by much.
Ha! Yeah, I can support that.
Right. Sir. Honey.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Hah--both my sister and roommate commented on that separately. I thought it was good, but not with the dress she was wearing.
I am, in general, a fan of the dark, dramatic lip, but with her coloring and that pale dress, it just wasn't right. Maybe if the hair hadn't also been so severe?
I feel like I have to go back and look at S5 to see who Jonathan was. It's very rare that I don't remember Top 20 contestants at all. I must've blocked him out, but really, how bad could he have been? I still remember Big Pasty and Kayla's first partner who was also the only non-hot Russian ballroom dancer of all time and Scarecrow looking Jonnis from all the way back in S1. Could he have been worse than all of them? Hmmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They had a predictably stupid discussion of BB on the Slate Culture Gabfest this week, and the most annoying part was that Willa Paskin said you can tell the players are superfans because of their use of lingo like "back dooring" and "head of household"....

So, people who watch Top Chef Masters, I have to ask, do you notice the Anolon Gourmet Cookware sponsorship? It jumps out at me, but I'm primed to notice it, and I'm curious how it comes across to others.

Because books.
I haven't paid really strict attention to either episode this season, but I know in past seasons all of the product placement/sponsorship has felt very in your face. Same with Masterchef this season, I have to say.

Last night's quickfire is totally appetizing. Lamb with pomegranate just sounds so good, whatever else you have on the plate.

Oh, we get a Yoplait Frozen Yogurt challenge for Runway! I'm so excited!

When you say it, I'm like, that's about right, but if someone asked me, I couldn't come up with it.
