Oh, and previous to TC I saw a documentary on Chicago PBS about two teams of Synchronized Swimmers that was both cool and kind of silly.

One of said synchronized swimmers did a routine based on Schindler's List.

Back to TC: I love how when the QF judge was introduced to CJ the first thing he said was something about how tall he is and CJ responded, "Thank you for noticing." (More or less.)

I know you, I know you.

didn't you just love the shot of her kneeling on top of the stove whisking something over the flame?

Oh yeah, that was great.

Now this is interesting. From Ted's Top Chef Blog:

That’s because, as so many of you noted on the boards in recent days, in the last episode of TC, we at the Judges Table mistakenly repeated the myth that lobster is high in cholesterol. It is not. In fact, lobster meat has slightly LESS cholesterol than a skinless chicken breast.

All apologies to America’s hardworking lobstermen (and lobsterwomen), and for any confusion we may have caused those seeking to reduce cholesterol in their diet. (Note: Lobster dipped in butter IS high in cholesterol, natch).

Also, hee!

Now, the Chaine des Rotisseurs were interesting people with good palates, and it was a pleasure to munch with them. But, as a veteran of a certain Bravo show that occasionally dabbles in matters of fashion, I have to pose a question about their ceremonial drag: Should people wear sashes, medals, chains and ribbons to their dinner functions? If you’re Jacques Chirac (or Jacques Pêpin): yes. If you’re a 35-year-old Miami attorney? Robo-dork!

I succumbed to the SYTYCD love last night and watched. I have no idea who anyone was, but that was some enjoyable TV right there. I did like the last number, a lot.

TC: Ted is love! Robo-dork. Hee.

So, on Top Chef, I should have known when they started interviewing someone I couldn't remember anything about, that she was on her way out. Meh.

This is EXACTLY what Stephen and I said. Who the hell was Camille? This season's contestants are lacking personality, or at least distinguishable personalities. I'm not sure I care, though -- I watch for Colicchio. I think there needs to be a Cult of Colicchio.

I was meh on SYTYCD last night-- the Wade Robson number stood out, but it was the weakest of his numbers this season. Of course, the NYT is probably right that viewers like me don't appreciate subtlety.

As for WSoPC, of course it was great, but I gotta complain about something earlier in the week: how in the hell did you get on this show if you can use an excuse like "I wasn't born yet"!?! HELLO, pop culture trivia on VH1 means knowing your '80s lyrics and references. THAT IS WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT. Thankfully they were eliminated. RIDIC.

Oh yeah, that was incredibily ridic.

I think there needs to be a Cult of Colicchio.

and the first member would be Padma (was it here where we were talking about the rumor that she divorced Rushdie because she was having an affair with Colicchio). But, I think he's a dick. But, I seem to be a minority in that opinion.

For me the top couples were Dom/Sabra, Pasha/Sara, and Kam/Lacey.

I agree. I still don't like Danny or Anya (of course, this may be because it just drives me crazy that she claims to be 25). At this point though, I hope Cedric and Lauren go.

we at the Judges Table mistakenly repeated the myth that lobster is high in cholesterol. It is not. In fact, lobster meat has slightly LESS cholesterol than a skinless chicken breast.

I'm glad you posted that because, when I first watched that ep, I thought I was sure that shrimp was the one kind of shellfish you had to watch out for, but I forgot to google it later on.
