And did you see when the Great British Custard Theft took place?
Oh that was lovely.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

I love Great British Baking Show. I want all the seasons, dangit!
I didn't realize until like, yesterday, that TAR had started again. Luckily it's all on my TiVo, but still.

I do not understand why Rachel Zoe is on TV. Granted, all I've seen of her is her ads, maybe pieces of her ads, but she has zero presence on screen.
Anyway, PR, I really like this challenge. They can't pull it out every challenge, but having model/clients that the regular judges know, and who know exactly what to expect from the whole process, is pretty cool. Kelly was really smart in making her "makeover" outfit more a version of what her girl wears all the time rather than going for a complete change. They were also just well paired up aesthetically, but any of them could have gone that route. I also love that Merline's reaction to making something more to her client's taste than what she originally envisioned was "I didn't know I had this in me" - I really liked her look.
It would have been so sad if Ashley had gone out on this challenge. I think her problem was once she got it in her head that she couldn't show something similar to what she'd done before she hamstrung herself.
Oh, dear, next week is avant-garde. I always hope it will actually be avant-garde and it pretty much never is. we'll see.

I really like all the innovations this season of Face Off. Good choices by the producers, I guess. The finale looks like it will be incredible.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Coming in late (as so often happens), on the Great British Baking Show when they had to do sweet buns, one of the bakers chose kolachi (am I spelling that even halfway right?) and I thought of our own Steph and how she'd appreciate it. The name did confuse the judges - seemingly they'd never heard of them.

Whereas it was about the only one I had heard of.

PR: I love how Merline says "Tim Gunn", reminds me of Rob Lowe saying "Ann Perkins"

Kelly eating pretzels and supposed cream cheese and saying "is this butter? I think I'm eating butter" and then taking some more was kind of awesome.

Love Bakeoff!!
Did y'all see that top model is being ended?
Also, is anyone watching Amazong Race? There were three episodes on my TiVo before I even realized it had started.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
"is this butter? I think I'm eating butter"
Yeah, I think the editing crew has a sense of humor.
I really like this group of designers, but Ashley is letting me down. I can't believe she choked last week and I was not impressed with anything about her look this week except the fit of the pants. That cape was bananas.
