Any day now I expect, "Your creation will be featured at the snack counter at 7-11s all around the country!"

Oh, and I'm so ready for a fucking stay in the kitchen and cook gourmet food challenge.

Bears repeating. Looks like they are doing a catering job next week again, though. Meh.

I bet in New Zealand and in the UK they do. (And surely they do in India PADMA.)

Yes! This!

I mean, if it wasn't a good curry, then say so - don't give us wishy-washy "kids don't like curry" bullshit. I mean, I'm sure kids don't like badly prepared curry any more than adults do.

You can't end up in the top three with roast chicken and vegetables unless they are perfectly done.

Then test that - like last season where they were given a chicken and an onion and told to make a gourmet meal. THAT was a challenge that tested basic cooking skills and was relevant to the overall goal of the show. This struck me as not much more than gimmicky product placement.

(And sorry if I'm coming off really punchy right now - work is driving me completely bugfuck so I'm probably venting more than I ought to be.)

You know, it seemed like this was such a great group, and they can sing,

I never got that, though I've heard it said a lot here and elsewhere. I didn't see much star potential there from the get go, really. Which to me explains why D. Cook keeps staying on top, and why nobody can let go of D'Archie. They're as close as it gets this season.

That's what I mean. As opposed to other seasons, where there were plenty of people who I thought weren't even good singers. This seasons, I think people like Syesha and Archie can sing, I just have no interest in their performances.

Megan is me. I tune most of their performances out. If I can, then they aren't doing something right. ND performed a song I'd never heard before and his voice is starting to go, but I listened to and watched the whole thing. He's a performer.

That's how I feel about a lot of what David Cook has done. He doesn't have the best voice, but it has been interesting.

The other David just creeps me out. I don't think Justin is a good singer, but I'll also cop to be prejudiced against him because he looks so much like one of my exes. I might like Syesha if she ever chose a song I knew.

Hee. From Ted Allen's blog:

Now, on this Elimination Challenge: Feed a family of four for ten bucks? At Whole Foods?! Have you ever been to Whole Foods? It costs $10 to drive past the place. I once brought an organic melon to the checkout in a Whole Foods in Chicago, and it rang up at $12! (Needless to say, that melon stayed in the store.)

Project Runway Season 6 will film in LA and NYC.

I wonder how this splitting between two coasts thing is going to work.
