I love America's Test Kitchen. I fear that I missed the all important Cookie Jar episode.

Hey, I've been seeing ads for a BBCA reality show called "Last Restaurant Standing" - between that and Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares - I am amazed at the number of people who dream of running a restaurant.

For some reason I can't stop watching the Biggest Loser this season. It's so annoying! I don't get how anybody but a really big guy would ever have a hope of winning it.

But I did love the biggest guy, Trent, doing yoga last night. His form was really beautiful.

Tyra has a new show:

"It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine," Mok said. "At the same time they're trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvyness, all the things to make it in the fashion world."

In each episode, the contestants will compete in two challenges, an individual competition and a team competition, in which each squad will submit a page for "The Book," a mock edition of the magazine. The losing team's page will end up in the trash, and one of its team members will be eliminated. The page from the other team will be included in "The Book." The winner of the competition will land a job in the fashion industry.

Random PR note: According to a commenter on Project Rungay, the Levi's challenge outfits are all on display at Levi Strauss Plaza here in SF. The commenter reported that (a) they're all unbelievably tiny, and (b) they all look incredibly well constructed. I may have to go on a lunchtime field trip sometime this week.

(b) they all look incredibly well constructed.

Er, even Jillian's? Which was held together with glue?

Ooh, report back!!

And sadly - no new PR this week. I don't know why.

No, Jillian's was gross. The others, better than expected, including Ricky's, which apparently looks much better in person than it did on TV.

JZ wins for the best typo!
