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.

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

I think I'm pleased with that reaction? Probably a good thing I'm not in marketing.
On to the Yoplait challenge!I was going to try to watch PR live tonight and maybe check out the interactive online whatever they have going on, but I thought it started an hour later than it actually does. Oh well.
