PR: I like the pants Sam was wearing on Runway Day better than anything anyone designed. But the couple's were all really cute talking about their dates, and I am SO GLAD that the judges saved all their "that's awful" comments for when it was just the judges there to hear.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

TAR: if the show survived the Family/USA season, it can survive this, too. (Of course, I wish for an all-senior season.)

The Sing Off was on On Demand, so I finally got to see it in its entirety. It was a lot of fun to watch, but I disagree with the judges' final decision.

Finally saw the TAR finale and was delightfully surprised by the winners. Satisfying end to the season. I'm horrified that TAR is turning into Chains of Love. Do not want.

Has anyone been watching The Taste ( man I miss TWOP because I could always drop in and read about random reality shows I was watching).
If anyone is watching I wondered what your thoughts are on the changes in the elimation format and if Nigella should be replaced as a mentor. She doesn't have a good track record - if she picks people others do they people go with someone else and the people she's the only one to pick aren't that strong.

askye, I'm watching. Nigella is an executive producer, so unless she decides to leave as a mentor, I doubt she is going anywhere, but I do feel bad for the terrible way she seems to be treated by the people she picks.

I'm watching The Taste. I always feel badly for Nigella. She only gets folks who no one else picks. Has she ever won a head to head battle with the other mentors? Then again, if I were on the show and had the choice between Nigella and Marcus or Nigella and Anthony Bourdain, I know I who I'd choose. I might pick Nigella over Ludo but that's just 'cause he's so arrogant.

I hate Ludo. The way he screams at his team and stuff. If I were a contestant and had my choice I'd go with Marcus or Anthony.
Nigella makes some tactical errors. Like going for sweets during the holiday competition when she said chefs generally donot go for sweets and Anthong specifically said the guest judge prefers savory food. Nigella had to know that and yet she picked a tricky dessert to pull off. Although maybe she had to when all the guys went with fowl. No one has roast or ham on Christmas? Because that's what I had growing up.

Poor Nigella, again.
