I'm so mad at Heidi for that "but his look was the weakest" argument. It was supposed to be a COLLECTION not three independent looks and he did the most to support that. And the judges knew that just from who made what.
Loved the winning collection start to finish and glad Robert got the win. Liked the neutral collection just fine; I really enjoyed seeing them being so excited to get voted from the public! Didn't love Erin's pockets, but I did like that fabric and the plaid. I wish the red-violet team had used any violet.
I really like that Tim Gunn has been writing and speaking about the need to have more clothing choices for women size 14 and above ... pointing out that a large number of women in the U.S. are in that size range. It's depressing to go into a store and see all these nice clothes that mostly stop at 12 or 14 ... and the larger sizes offer fewer options and many of those are unattractive. I do wish he'd not take the position that the purpose of larger sizes would be to make the wearer look smaller/thinner. But I'll take what I can get.

Does he? I haven't watched the video that's been making the rounds. From what he's said at various times on PR, I would guess his position would be that clothes for any size should make the wearer feel good about wearing them.
Tim Gunn wrote an opinion piece for the newspaper and I saw a video - kind of a PSA - of him stating his position and he was talking about how designers have to not just make clothes from his collection larger, but adjust the proportions. Most of it is designing and making clothes for larger sizes but he finished both up with a brief mention of clothes that make you look thinner.
The Voice is doing a live voting show.
No feedback from the judges and no filler. Just 20 contestants singing.
Watching the Holiday Baking Championship, and I wish all the home bakers would realize sooner that they need to add more salt because at home they use salted butter.
Holiday Baking Championship?
Food Network competition show. (Although right after I typed that, the woman I was thinking of had something too salty, so maybe that wasn't her problem!)
Baking show alert! tonight (12/1) Mary Berry will be on the Great American Baking Show. No, it's not the GBBO, but it's Mary Berry. It's at 9:00pm Eastern time in my area, on ABC.
Yes! I love how Americans treat Mary Berry and the way British and American double entendres sneak in.
