"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Note: she didn't provide any evidence (or even her own perspective) on the examples Tim relates about her. She just decides to hammer off and complain about Tim.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, seriously. You can't just say:

That's the only way that I can make sense of so many factual inaccuracies in what Tim has said.

And then not provide any specifics to back it up!

True. Plus, for her to suggest that Tim is not qualified to comment on her designs!!!

There are so many people who've been falling into some disaster that a well-timed comment from Tim has saved.

Moving onto Top Chef. Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio. Padma is asked what the worst thing she's been asked to eat:

So far on my time at Top Chef, the worst thing I ate was the chocolate gnocchi with a morsel of liver in it.

(I'm still in the process of reading the chat - so don't know how spoilery it is.)

Edited to say: I've finished it and it's not at all spoilery.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just think that if Tim Gunn doesn't like you, you've done something seriously wrong with your life.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

She was a bitter pill in the reunion episode. All visual (and written) evidence indicates she is not winning this argument.

Punishingly Intricate

Honestly, I was just surprised she HAD two Barbie dolls, y'know? Who goes on a reality TV show and brings BARBIES??

Whole Foods sent me an email about their At-Home Top Chef Challenge:

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What's the point of that if you don't win anything? (Other than, I assume, your recipe on the Top Chef website.)

What Alton Brown is giving us next summer:

Feasting on Waves, premiering summer 2008, will feature Alton Brown trading the road for the waves to explore the people, cultures and food of the Caribbean. He will uncover the real mom and pop restaurants and food stands, cook on the boat, dive, fish, whatever it takes to find interesting edibles outside of the resorts. From the deck of a boat, it's a modern day pirate's tale searching out history, cuisines and stories.
