Why is Robert Irvine on NFNS? They took him off Dinner: Impossible, yes? Seems odd they'd ask him to be a guest.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think this is a testament to how far in the past this was filmed.
I believe I heard it was filmed in February.

They're still airing the Dinner Impossibles that he stared in, although they say they're not going to tape any new episodes with him. I think maybe they taped this before everything came out and they couldn't go back and re-do a challenge.

Ah. Yes, I see the winter coats now.

there was a part in the broadcast where they were booing the team who wasn't sent home. The audience CLEARLY disagreed with the judges' decision.
I felt sorry for that team, but I agreed with the audience. They were surly, but they were right.
Being someone who doesn't like confrontations, and doesn't even like watching them, I prefer to think that the audience was booing the judges' decision, rather than the team.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, you could be right about that as well - though I suppose that's a sort of confrontation too.

True! But I feel less sorry for the judges. I think their egos are insulated enough by professional success to withstand the crowd disagreeing with them. I just feel sorry for the teams.

NFNS - I can't believe it but I actually liked Lisa this week. She, Aaron, Jeffrey and Kelsey are my current favorites and they totally sent the right guy home but Nipa needs to go next.
Design Star - I LOVE that they're going to have to build some sort of dwelling in a week. Ha!

She improved a lot, and it sounds like she got it through her head that she needed to lose the crazy "three Cs" babble.

Yes, that Beautiful Basics is a much better concept.
From that TC interview:
Which of the winners of your show would you hire for your kitchen?
Any of them. I have purposefully stayed away from hiring anybody that's been a contestant. But I think Tiffany, a woman from Season 1, was fabulous. She wasn't a fan favorite, but I thought her cooking was brilliant. Harold I would have hired. Forget about the show for a second -- if Harold walked into my restaurant and said he wanted a job, I would have hired him. Same thing with Sam. [Season 3 winner] Hung, definitely. I think a better question would be, "If you were going to open a restaurant with one of them, who would it be?" That's a little different. Probably Harold or Hung. I think [Season 2 winner] Ilan -- he's a good cook, just a little immature, and he has a little way to go. If I were going to raise money and put someone in charge of the kitchen, I'd want someone with a little gravity or weight to them.
