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

Because books.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, people who watch Top Chef Masters, I have to ask, do you notice the Anolon Gourmet Cookware sponsorship?

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.

The way he said "we're thrilled to be working with you" cracked me up!

OK, I love the carnival games for prizes that will be their material thing. That's awesome.

I almost feel bad for how much I don't sympathize with Timothy. He's just so self-involved. It's hilarious how every week he thinks he's in the top but he's in the bottom, though.

Helen and Kate getting along so well, also kind of hilarious. I didn't love their dress, but it's quite a technical accomplishment.

I do not for a second believe that Sandro is really sensitive deep down.

My favorite look is Ken and Jeremy's. But I would love to see Heidi in Dom and Alexandra's.

Thrive to spite them

I thought the other top dress should have won it was so cute! But maybe too cute for PR.

When Timothy said, "Did we just win this!" (in a voice over I think) I wanted to say - are you fucking blind! I was worried they'd let him go through again, glad he was sent packing.

Sandro makes me furious. Do not like.

I loved the winning dress! I also love Kelly Osborne's hair color, although I don't think I could pull it off.

The monster outfit was adorable, but for actual fashion I would have given ... who made the blue pants and the tee and the vest? Was that Ken and Jeremy, or Bradon and his partner? That was an incredible outfit, given the materials.

There are still too many designers for me to follow, I think.

When Timothy said, "Did we just win this!" (in a voice over I think) I wanted to say - are you fucking blind!

I really wish we could see the looks he brought to the audition, because he is just awful. Partly it's just that he's so very young and has no experience, I think, but it's also that he seems to like playing at being a designer more than actually being one. That "textile" he made was not actually a textile, for one, and like Kelly pointed out, you learn to do the same thing with potholders in camp.
