I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was pretty happy with this week's PR! I mean, not really avant grade, but they almost never are, and almost all the looks were beautiful. The way Roberi's metal moved with his model was extraordinary. Can't really argue with who went home, either. I find him personally delightful and I think his designs have gotten a LOT better since the beginning, but he's still just not really ready for Fashion Week.

PR: stoked with the final four and with the promise of Michael Kors judging!

How much do I love Mary Berry? a lot, in case you were wondering.

In yesterday's American Baking Show, she really liked a couple of the dishes (it was pie and tart day). One pie, she ate two bites (instead of the usual one just to taste) and for the miniature hors d'oeuvre tarts, she ate a complete one. Made those contestants very happy.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I loved when she chided her fellow judge last week for something, and he immediately apologized.

And the week she correctly diagnosed why an item looked odd, the other judge disagreed, then he genuflected to her when he was proven wrong. Everyone wants to squee and hug her, I think.

Her being baffled by the word snickerdoodle was adorable.

Loved seeing Michael Kors back on the PR judging panel. He was on point with his critiques.

I'm very happy with this final four. I might have wanted to switch out Rick because his aesthetic I just find a little bit boring, but I really don't know for whom. I'm still pulling for Laurence with Roberi as my second choice, but I could understand an Erin win.

He really was terrific. Made me miss him more in retrospect.

I want Laurence to win, but I am looking forward to seeing all 4 runway shows. Should be good!

New anglophilic pleasure - Penelope Keith touring the villages of the U.K. (since she's going up to Scotland at some point). Lovely scenery and she can be amusing.

Oh, I like Penelope Keith, if she's the woman who was in To the Manor Born and who plays posh people in the comedies.
