Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, but when they gave her the dark brow for the movie star thing, she suddenly looked like 80s Madonna, which was just not right

Ha! that's what our crowd was saying too!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Top Chef: I adore that QF. That's my favorite QF evah. I love seeing the raw skill (or lack thereof) and it helps me with my cooking technique to see it discussed.

I'm glad Nikki went because she was driving me crazy. This should have been her challenge and it wasn't, and that was her own damn fault. That group was killing me, though. Although I do agree that Dale did the majority of the work. If he hadn't been too fatigued to say it when Tom visited the chefs, I think it would have played to his advantage.

Anyway, Richard! Richard totally won over both the SO & I with that. And I love that the judges honored it.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Why do we think that Dale didn't just throw Spike under the bus? Do you think that they cut it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think he actually had restraint. I think that he hit a bending point with the fatigue but not a breaking point. That he lashed out, but there was a place he wouldn't go and he didn't.

The SO disagrees. He thinks Dale was an ass and should have been eliminated.

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

I am speechless. That was...damn, just damn. I cannot believe they pulled that off.

I know!!!!

This season may have started out slow, but the last 5 votes have been completely AWESOMECAKES.

I seriously thought they were laying it on way too thick at TC. But gotta give her credit, Parv was right - those three belong together. And I'm so happy to like Amanda again. And that Cirie is still ruling the world. God, and the planning - how long since we've seen that going on so much?

Best line goes to (ugh) Natalie though: "Who would do that? I feel stupid just listening to it."

Because books.

I only started watching in the last few weeks, but damn. That was the most awesome thing I've ever seen on Survivor. Dude. ::shakes head::

The jury has been en fuego recently, too.
