I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Top Chef: Damn, that quickfire is harsh! Kinda brilliant.

Eta: and I'm intrigued by the coffee/granola/venison thing. Clever!

the sous chef thing really makes me laugh with Bryan Voltaggio. MFNLaw and I go to Volt all of the time and see his sous chef in the kitchen. there's a camera in the kitchen and they will set the TV in the bar to the kitchen.

Aw, Project Runway. I'm so glad Braden won. Aside from the relationship stuff (which was amazing timing-wise! And allergy inducing), the shorts and jacket he kind of threw together because he was spending so much time on the top were so cute!

That said, I'm thoroughly annoyed at the Sandro conflict and flashback opening to the show. So unnecessary. I'm tired of that from suspense-based dramas, I don't need it from competition shows. Just, no.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I wasn't paying that much attention, so I thought that was post-runway from last week. Then I was all confused when he was back in the workrooom!

Have y'all watched Capture on CW? Since my tv situation has been sorted, I am doing some catch up.

This show is really fucked up. Y'all MUST watch it. It's like TAR but with Hunger Games.

And without death.

BB: Do these people really not know that Helen is running the house? She's a fucking genius. In BB terms.

....which reminds me of a conversation I was having with my mother about Cat Deeley and the Emmys, and I said, "Well, Jeff Probst has to run Tribal Council, and that's really important..." My mother lost her shit laughing that I had said it was really important. Important in context! For a reality show host! Sheesh.

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

I think Amanda might be running it this week.

I think "the house" thinks it's Amanda, but it is actually Helen.

Most weeks I would agree with you, but with Andy in as HOH, I think he is going to pick A&M over Helen.

Which makes me curious to see how Helen can manipulate the situation so she is back in charge
