Project Runway: Kelly really knocked it out of the park. Wow. Well deserved. Ashley's was also very good but Kelly was on a level of her own this week.
Bummed about Jake (is that his name?) and not only because of his dog. Only in the last week or two I got interested in seeing what he can do, and now I won't. Joseph, otoh, I don't think I've liked anything he's made, maybe his contribution to the paintball team challenge, although I don't remember what he made so I can't have liked it that much. He's just been a big pile of meh the whole season. Except when he was pissing me off.
Photo of Cat Deeley with a bit of a baby bump. And looking good!
TAR: What's with the mandatory bikinis and Phil nudging people to creep on the Brazilian lady?
PR from last week (the dumpster dive) - I think I forgot to say how happy Merline made me with her "I have immunity, when else can I make a Big Bird outfit" comment. Although her finished look was not that out there, i appreciated the sentiment.
Caught up on PR: I didn't really have strong feelings about any of the looks this week. I think the judges chose the right winner, and I'm glad that something that had some personal meaning to it won. I feel bad for Lindsey - it does kinda seem like her aesthetic was just never going to be what the judges liked, like she was saying before.
I do not understand the previews for next week, I have no idea what they are going to be doing.
Carla Hall, the woman who lost Top Chef because she was TOO NICE, is opening a restaurant near me.
Hootie hoo!
Did anyone catch on Great British Baking Show that almond milk was a substitute for cows milk in Olden Tymes? It makes sense, but I thought it was interesting.
I still have not watched that show (I need to!) but I have read that before.
I saw that! Loved the bit at the end about the oldest existing cookbook.
And did you see when the Great British Custard Theft took place?
Yes! The on-screen descriptions were the best. That show is the best, overall.
