I thought she and [Broadway guy] did a really nice job

Christopher? The big heavy guy? I'm behind on everything but the very beginning so I have no idea what he's done since his swanky purple gown in the first challenge, but I'm still kind of pulling for him. He started out in San Francisco doing costumes for Beach Blanket Babylon.

I was hoping to catch up today, but Bravo is telling me it has nothing planned today but eighty kajillion hours of Kathy Griffin(th?). Bah.

You know, Seal would look probably look awesome in that outfit, but I loved her being all "over my dead body" about it.

yes, he would. but, he wouldn't wear it if his wife hated it. he's good that way.

Survivor I was really surprised they pulled it off! Especially after all that was said.

I wonder if they are going to hid the idols back.

Seriously. When they showed the vote for James, I was sure that meant it didn't happen, like there was another twist. Well done!!

And were you guys surprised by Elisa's shyness with the models?

OMG when she said she only "fits" on her boyfriend it took me a while to realize that she meant she only fits CLOTHES on him.

I can't believe how poorly everyone did and the outfits that weren't completely jacked up were BOR-ing. (Although I guess they didn't have much room for creativity considering who they were designing for and for what.)

I just watched ANTM last night and am sad about Heather. I mean she'd been a mess the last couple of eps but I was really hoping she'd pull it together. She's by far the most interesting looking. I can barely tell the two blondes apart STILL.

Survivor: I could not believe that James didn't play the Idol last night. The jurors' expressions were priceless. I did think he had a classy exit interview, though. Classier than he's been around camp for weeks now. For a long, long time, I had no idea who Amanda was, like at all, but she is a gamer. If she manages to get rid of Todd next, I will have to start rooting for her. And I still enjoy Denise, who was the cutest thing ever at the temple. The rest of them, eh. I do give it up to Eric and PG, though, for managing to stick around much longer than I thought possible initially (especially PG). Other than Denise, though, I still can't say that I actively like any of these fools. However, I wouldn't gag at a win by anyone left, even Todd.

ANTM: I was sad to see Heather go, too. The blondes do nothing for me. Chantal is just vapid and Jenna can take her bad weave, black roots and stank attitude and go home any time now. I cannot believe that at this point, I'm rooting for a Bianca/Tootie final two. This might be the weakest final four ever on the show, and none of them have what it takes to be a "top model" (even by this shows lax standard).

I could not believe that James didn't play the Idol last night.

Me neither. Especially since he has TWO and is likely to win at least one more immunity challenge before his time to use them is up. I mean, they're not all going to be star-throwing and quizzes! But people have always been really reluctant to use their hidden idols on this show, I've noticed - they always act like "Whew, I have the idol, I'm safe!" but they treat them like security blankets instead of tools to stay in the game. It's odd.

It only just occurred to me that having designated fall guys are an asset when you need to get rid of people on your own tribe. That's what happened in Guatemala, IIRC.

PR: I must say, I'm having trouble distinguishing several of the designers from each other. Hopefully, that'll work itself out.

Enjoyed Christian riding around on the big guy with HIV's (Jack?) shoulders. That was funny. Can't say I'll miss Carmen, although I culd at least differentiate her. She was the one who I always expected to break into a Duran Duran song.
