What are Nigel's credentials for being a judge?
He produces the show, but other than that I don't know. I did miss Mia. I always like when she's on the show. I like Mary Murphy, but she kind of drives me crazy sometimes.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Because books.
Ever since seeing this video [link] I've been obsessed with Paul Potts on Britain's Got Talent. Last I heard he made the Semis and was a pretty good bet for the finals.
My husband sent me the link to those videos yesterday, connie. He's amazing! I love the fact that audience adored him, too, because I bet only a very small percentage of them listen to opera anywhere near regularly.

He has a great voice but I think he's so likable because he's such a humble guy. I love the first video connie linked to where you can see Simon Cowell sort of drop his jaw and actually focus in on the guy.

What do people think of this season's Top Chef?

Trust my rage
I think it was not exactly fair to force people to pick such a wide variety of proteins. Alligator tail and razor clams are supposed to be comparable?
I like the guy who stood up to Anthony Bourdain. Points for having guts.

I loved that! It seemed like the perfect way to earn Bourdain's respect. I hope there is more Bourdain this season.

Art Crawl!!!
I loved the challenge!
I think that the contestants are so much better overall than last seasons.
ION, A&E has a new show about a matchmaker that is on RIGHT NOW. So far, enjoyable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I like this season of "Top Chef." The chefs seem so much more skilled than last season's assholes. I agree that last week's challenge had too many varied kinds of meat (i.e. best tender, best in soups, don't overcook). I wish they had a small very basic book on guidelines and rules for the more exotic meats so that people who picked last weren't so inconvenienced.
