Nigel is just not a good spokesperson for the judges. Not because he's wrong, but because of the tone of his voice. I'm defensive that way.
I so agree with this, but then, Nigel bugs me.
Regarding Anya, I personally think that at least part of the reason she didn't make it farther is because of her interviews. Most of the interviews for most of the dancers are pretty crappy. (The thing I like most about my partner is he/she is cute! Puh-lease.) But hers have been really annoying to me. When I just look at her dance, it's lovely, but it's hard for me to push away the annoyance I have going into the dance.

And her costumes, don't forget her costumes.
Leeann's blog - she was surprised that so many did tarts for the quickfire.

Though I totally think Cat was seriously when she was all "omg I love your costumes!"
I think you're right, SA. @@
TC: I really enjoyed Lee Anne's blog. Thanks for linking it, sumi. She has such an interesting perspective on the show. And also, I probably should have know this, but I didn't realize she was the one responsible for all the beautiful presentations. I don't remember salivating over plates of raw proteins in seasons past. But one look at her presentations and I want to cook! Anyway, she's been a real asset to the show. I wish they would let her function as a mentor, because I really think there are some changes chefs could make halfway through their preparation that would really change their results.
Conclusion? I heart Lee Anne.
I don't think I know what that means...(bottle service means you byo and they charge you a fee for corking it, right?)
No, it's the opposite, where you can buy a whole bottle of liquor for one brazilian dollars, and get to feel like a Lohan or a Diddy. And it's the kind of place that "shouldn't" be in the neighborhood where it is.
Liese, I know! She is doing a fantastic job and always has an interesting perspective on the challenges.
And she had some great ideas for that frozen piecrust challenge - conclusion?
The 4th place finisher from Season 1 may be better than the last two seasons of contestants.
OH! Bottle service...der! I should have known about that from my life (in which I watch Entourage and read a lot celebrity gossip).

I would so love that!

Ayup. No question if you ask me.
