So the new Tim Gunn show is him mentoring designers who are trying to mentor newer designers in a Project Runway like competition? It's like Escher started pitching reality shows. I think I'm in.

Because books.
Is it? Or is it just him mentoring them generally?

That's what the ads look like. There's some type of competition further down the food chain, and it's designers all the way down I'm fairly sure.

Huh! I have not been paying attention. That is a little Escher.

That sounds...huh. I thought it was just going to be Tim mentoring PR alumni on how to make it in the real world of fashion, you know, building more Christian Sirianos and fewer, well, everyone else who's won Project Runway. Kind of like that Joe Zee show, All On The Line. I think I would've been more interested in that show than in Tim coaching former PR contestants about how to coach designers in a PR-style competition show. I'll give it a shot anyway because Tim, but my hopes are a little bit lower than they were, for sure.

Is anyone watching Top Chef this season? Last night's episode was the most intense ever! Crazy stuff.

ugh, that challenge was the WORST. It's too close to the end to a) have team challenges and b) have immunity as an option. Also, the challenge itself was so weird, it was like Top Sous Chef, with the chefs carrying out the French and Spanish chefs' vision precisely. I hated it.
And then there's the bullshit about hoping that Nick steps down? I'm no Nick fan, but that was just serious bull. shit.

Yeah, that was seriously messed up.

It was exactly like top sous chef -- very weird. And at the dinner table, I thought the two chefs were actually going to start shouting. They both wanted to win more than they wanted the cheftestants' cooking showcased, I think.
Like you said, Nora, I'm not a Nick fan (at all) but assuming he'd give up his immunity seemed really odd. That's what it's for! It does seem way late in the game to offer it, too.

Nick has been annoying but trying to guilt him into giving up his immunity was absolutely ridiculous. Ugh. I did not enjoy.
Still rooting for a Nina/Shirley final two, so I was glad Stephanie got sent home.
