Jack&Dale4eva! That is a lot of adorable in one photo.

Yeah, Tre is big on the proteins, eh? I never know what would be appropriate for a Top Chef three course meal. It seems like they waffle on what they want.

Part of it is in their goals, I think. I think a perfectly nice three course meal would be a salad, poultry, and a fruit & cheese plate. But since two of those three things don't involve cooking, they'd never fly on the show.

Very true. But, bacon-wrapped veal with mac n' cheese, followed by lamb?

Hee.

Yeah, that is a little excessive.

In real life, he's currently fine and dating Dale from Top Chef, so whatever it was, it apparently wasn't a long-term crisis thing.

Oh yay. And Dale's a local boy. Have to keep my eyes open.

Jack and Dale are the cutest things ever! I still want to know what's so dramatic.

I enjoy Jack on PR, but he's actually not one of my top designers. I really like Rami (although I didn't like the grey, drape-y dress he made for the first inspiration challenge). I also really have liked Elisa quite a bit, and prior to last night I liked Victorya's clothes as well.

I like Victorya's designs but I can no longer like Victorya. When I have time, I need to go look at the PR website because I keep watching PR and falling asleep and missing Team Christian on the runway.

YAY TIFF! Right the fuck on.

Tre's good, no doubt, but I was so happy Tiffany didn't have to walk away with 2nd place again.

Team Ricky, WTF? I was really surprised to see whatshisface go instead - his jacket was ugly, yes, but at least it was a jacket. I have no idea what any of the dresses on Ricky's team were supposed to be.

Seriously. Those things were hideous. They were none of the trends, either. I don't really buy cut-outs or neon, and they were only underwear as outerwear if you squinted. And then they were bad underwear.

I don't know what I would have done if I'd gotten shoulder pads. I think he did the best he could with it, and I think the dress under the jacket was gorgeous. So if it were me, I would have let him slide.

Now I'm all a'scared to get caught up. I really, really liked Chris -- mostly because he was a local, but also because he just seemed funny and sweet and I liked that he was a theatrical costumer, and, dammit, his stuff was always extremely well-constructed, and that's what the judges are always harping on.

And he was one of the few people who didn't botch the menswear challenge. That was so shamefully godawful; I felt like someone should have either physically bitchslapped the worst offenders and filmed it and shown it every Fashion Week, or maybe just announced that everyone who'd managed to actually make a recognizable, wearable suit (all four of them? five?) would get automatic immunity on the next two or three challenges.

Bleah. The shoulder pads are just going to make me sad and resentful.

Yeah, I think booting Chris was a mistake, and really just an odd choice.
