Did something else besides eggshells happen with the cake in the prior one? And were there other major disasters?

I am a bit disappointed that they sent the troops on yet. Another. Catering. Job.

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

Well, it was made from a box mix. (Though Tom admitted later that he actually thought that was a good idea for a non-pastry chef working on a deadline and a budget.)

hell, yeah. I mean, I could make a basic cake, but a wedding cake? Um, just multiply everything by 8? okay!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really hope it's Richard v. Stephanie in the Top Chef finals. I also now hope Anya wins Top Model, partly because it's hilarious that they haven't given her any shit about the way she speaks.

It will be really hard to choose from those two. I think they are the ones who deserve it, though.

That said, it might almost be fun to have someone to root AGAINST. And Richard v. Dale could be very interesting since they've worked well together in the past.

Art Crawl!!!

Maybe they'll have more than two in the finale. . . Richard, Stephanie and Dale.

Hah! More because I don't want it to be Fatima or Whitney, but I suspect they might go for their first "plus size" girl....even though half of Whitney's pictures have been kinda dreadful. They did give Anya crap about her accent in the beginnig (or at least talked about it during private judging), but the commercial is next week, so we'll see...

At this point in the season, Tyra had gone on and on about Danielle's accent for weeks on end! I guess all of that went away with the Jaslene/Natasha finals, though...

Yeah, she's just not that good of a model!

Punishingly Intricate

Anya was pretty adorable in her talking head interviews last night. But, yeah, it's been bugging me that Tyra really hasn't talked nearly enough about her incomprehensibile accent as she did about Danielle's ... and, actually, I was always able to understand Danielle.

I was thinking last night about how different ANTM feels this season. For example, have there been any challenges at judging this year?
