Art Crawl!!!

Sam is the guest judge, right?

I read elsewhere that Hung is also going to be a guest judge.

I want to watch the last five episodes of Survivor again. Too much fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sam is the guest judge, right?

Apparently. Good times.

Top Chef:

Am so so over Top Caterer. Can we get back to the real cooking please?

Needed to be said again.

Also, yay, Sam! Good times indeed.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

For such an awesome season, that reunion show sucked ass! I mean, they normally do, but that was a particular let down. Did Parvati/Cirie/Amanada talk for more than 10 minutes? At least Cirie and Parvati both looked beautiful. Amanda looked insane with the Farrah-hair, but maybe that's what dating Ozzy does to you.

Ah, well. Still a quality season of Survivor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I really enjoyed the season, even if it was hard to root for anyone after Penner. Still entertaining. The winner was disappointing. Parvati is a mean girl, and god, such undeserved boasting. What blindsides did she mastermind, *really*? Cirie did Ozzy and Erik, and, from what I recall, it was her idea to get Jason. Amanda did Alexis. Parvati took advantage of getting rid of Ozzy, which was a real move. But she doesn't deserve Eliza's vote. I really wanted to know what that was all about.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Totally agreed. I was so down for the Cirie win and when she went out,

then I had to go for Amanda. But Cirie was totally the mastermind. She played a hell of a game. Again. I was sad that she still seemed so sad at the reunion. She should be damn proud.

Also, Penner looked BEAUTIFUL. That is one fine looking man. And though I did enjoy Peachy dismissing Fairplay's stint on the show out of hand, why did we have to see Michelle and the baby (who both looked busted, truth be told) anyway? And the irrelevant story about whojimawatsit hooking up with some other Survivor from some season I don't even remember all thanks to the mad matchmaking skillz of Fairplay? Why waste my time like that? Why waste Peachy's time when he could've drooled over James' abs some more?

Penner, Penner, Penner! We need more Penner.

I'm glad I will soon have an HD teevee, because this show was made for it.

True that. I am very excited for Gabon. Even if the cast is not up to snuff, the scenery should be stunning. And I've been waiting for them to go back to Africa.

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

I was really hoping Amanda would take Cirie. And they seemed to be setting it up that way, but no dice.

Maybe there was a lot of Parvati acting smarter than we saw that was left out of the final edit? Because everyone on the jury seemed to take for granted that she really was a power player, and not just riding Cirie's coattails.
