TAR: The dentists got taken down a peg, which they took more graciously than I expected -- and then they didn't have to use their SAVE, dammit.
Bravo to the team (Sweet Scientists?) who figured out that if they transported the tiered cake in two sections and then glued it together at delivery they'd have an easier time of it. Careful reading of the rules for the (literal) win!
Liked also the driving challenge where the point wasn't to get there firstest, but most efficiently, though the penalty geography question wasn't all that hard to find out.
I really wish Phil had kept the save.
I really wish Phil had kept the save.
I was hoping he would, too. He should've just said, "Well, you didn't need to use the save, but since you were too impatient to wait for me to tell you this was a non-elimination leg, you've used it now and I can't give it back." And then maybe do an eyebrow pop. But no such luck.
I'm also really over the mom and daughter. They can leave any day now.
Most offensive Top Chef ever? First, Todd English (ptui), then they have to "respond" to what they find in the kitchen for a police/firefighters Boston Marathon/9-11 theme challenge?????
TAR: I know they could have picked the other task, but I kind of love that there was something where having just one arm was actually an advantage.
PR: I really liked all four runway shows! I don't think that's happened in a long time. Perfectly happy with the winner.
Face Off - giant monsters, cool! In short, Dina is stil my favorite. I was pleased to find out last week that she's a protege of Anthony, whom I also loved. Always fun when we get to see her using cake decorating techniques in her makeups.
Bummed that George is out. Looked like a tough call this week.
I kind of love that there was something where having just one arm was actually an advantage.
Totally! Also, I am kind of entertained by the wrestlers. Mostly because the dude is dumb, but still. SO over the mom and daughter...and the "scientists" are kinda boring. But OMG hate the dentists.
PR: I really wanted Amanda to win because I like her so much, but Sean's collection was gorgeous, too (and I also like him!). What Kini managed to do in two days was pretty miraculous, and I loved the look on the model with Char at judging. It was really was a very satisfying show!
Sean's runway show was just so polished with each look leading naturally into the next. And I loved how he made the silk dresses with no fringe seem like they belonged with all the fringed looks. He really delivered.
Amanda's collection I liked more than anything she's done before, though. Really impressive. I bet she has a line available through some store or other before too long. And it'll do well.
And Kini's transformation of his collection was amazing. I really liked that same look that Heidi did with the shorts. Not something I would ever wear, but on a model I love it.
I really liked Char's black and white looks, and everything she did with that print she bought in Italy.
