Why don't they allot some legs to last two pit stops?
They have had some "To be continued" legs in the past where the last team doesn't get a penalty and Phil just tells them, "Keep racing, suckas!" (Although they haven't had any this race yet) IMHO, if you are going to do non-elim legs that are not TBC, I wanna see some kind of penalty for coming in last. And of all the ridic crap that they've tried (the Phil mugging, the horrible 30 minute penalty of death hanging over your head if you don't finish first), the Speed Bump is BY FAR the best penalty they've come up with. It is serious enough to pose some problems for the racers (unlike the Phil mugging which never amounted to anything more than highly undignified begging), but not insurmountable (as we saw with Kent and Vixen - they got eliminated due to their own error in judgement).
Tabitha was one of the few bright spots on Shear Genius, but I can't imagine that I'd enjoy watching a whole show about her.
ION, I watched Dance Wars tonight. I couldn't help myself. And it was bad. Soooo bad. Worse than I even imagined. It ended with J. Lo. Badly sung, badly danced J. Lo. That's just . . . no.
Did anyone here watch "Shear Genuius?" Remember Tabitha - the white-haired, direct (kind of mean) Aussie? Well, Bravo is giving her her own show:
oh man! I can just imagine her coming in to try to redo my friend's (keeerazy hairdresser) shop and the bloodshed that would ensue. Highly entertaining.
I just read over on TWOP that Nick is Robbie Fulks son. . . or possibly stepson.
TV Guide interviews Anthony Bourdain -- I can't believe I forgot to watch last night!
Wow, he quit smoking. Is it the apocalypse or something? Also love his comment comparing Guy Fleuri to Poochie.
"The original dog from HELL!"
"You mean Cerberus?"
Hey, stop hating on Guy! I actually like his stuff, and think he's a good guy. He doesn't take himself too seriously. The hair, though, oh, the hair.
Oh, I'm not hating on Guy, just loving on that Simpsons episode.
I am very annoyed by PR tonight. That was completely a producer decision, that was not about the dresses. Christian's dress was a hot mess. Yes, he had a difficult client, yes, she wanted something horrible, but it was up to him to make it work. The dress was too short in the back because he wasn't even smart enough to compensate for the ass factor. I'm not saying that Kevin's dress was at all good (though I think that her looking older was a function of the hair as well as the dress. Her hair should have been down.) kevin's dress was not good, but it did not make me physically recoil like christian's did.
Well, when they basically said that it was (another) taste issue on Kevin's part, I figured that was it for him. (Although Christian has had attitude problems more than once.)
