On Top Chef, it makes me crazy how the boys write off Jennifer, but I enjoy how much stuff she's won.

I am Jesse on that one.

I can't with Survivor this year. Colton makes my skin crawl. Rupert is tiresome, but Colton? No. I don't need that in my life. I'm out this season.

Supermarket Superstar: The crab pie should go to Whole Foods, no?

They do contemporary on DWtS? That's weird. I haven't watched that one in years, sounds like it has changed even more than I thought - I liked it when it was brand new and super cheesy but there was a certain amount of basic ballroom going on, at least.

Top Chef - I wonder if they booted Sang last week just so he could come back as the judge this week. I love how much Jennifer curses. OTOH, almost every comment Bryan makes makes annoys me, which I think is weird because I think he is probably objectively very likable, but he just rubs me the wrong way somehow.

I am so pleased that they showed the sous chef thing afterwards - I've been totally unable to get previous challenges to play on my laptop. I'm still of two minds on the sous chefs in general, especially with the winning immunity this week, although that it was a dish chosen by the Master made it make more sense to me. Anyway, it's interesting how very different the judging of the sous chefs seems to be. Speaking of judges, the comments about the food this week seemed particularly uninformative, I got no picture of what anything actually tasted like. Which I kind of get from the standpoint of describing amazing food is hard, but food critics ought to be better at it. I can't taste that calamari bolognese to understand why it is relatable, you know?

Project Runway: I'm just a little ways into it but I wanted to comment that the fans are adorable! And I guess somebody always has to make the "I've never designed for real women" comment, and this time it's Ken, and, yeah, it bugs me both for the this-is-not-who-I-design-for angle and the models-are-not-real-women angle BUT my primary reaction this time was - what, Ken never made his mother a dress? Seriously? Cause she seems plenty real.

The superfans were awesome!

Bad news BB fans. Russell Hantz will be joining BB15.

I thought this season's obligatory "Real women, eek!" comment was less offensive than in the past, though of course editing has a lot to do with that. But in general I prefer the "Crap, I have no experience with non-models, I hope I do a good job" type of comment than the "Ugh, women bigger than a size 4 are IMPOSSIBLE TO DRESS, why are they making us do this."

Somehow I completely missed that Top Chef was back!! Crap!

Wait, what? The new regular Top Chef? I missed it!

The superfans were awesome!

They really were! The interaction between the judges and the fans when they did the close-ups was very cool.

I think the judges got it right this week. The top looks are fantastic, the safe looks are right in the middle, and the bottom looks are the most problematic. I don't know that I would have liked Alexander's suit even if he had finished it. Though Heidi was right, the silhouette was very nice. Alexandria (I wish their names were less similar, somehow) seems very into following whatever direction she's given, from the client or in the challenge specifications, sometimes that messes her up. I don't even know what Ken was thinking, picking a fabric he hated. It's nice that he left well after all that drama.

I was hoping I could bail on the upcoming All Stars but the line up of designers that are coming back is pretty compelling!
