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.

I LOVE Nina.

Way too late in the season for team challenges and immunity.

Nick, though, what an asshole. Probably less of an asshole when he's not this tired and stressed, but DUDE. The world does not owe you a fucking trophy just because you cook French goddamn food.

This is the point where you offer cars or cash, not immunity, and definitely not a team challenge. I suspect the network is monkeying with things to make them more "interesting". Nick may be an asshole, but he didn't look very happy about how things came out, though probably because he's thinking "Now I look like an asshole and not a nice guy."

I agree with what all of you had said. The structure of the task was problematic in that it was a team challenge so late in the game, that someone had immunity, and that they received thorough guidance from top chefs. It was just so strange.

I'm not sure why they did all this if not to have a surprise elimination to potentially conquer Last Chance Kitchen.
