"We have trust issues." Mylar

Oh, such yummy and delicious news about AI. Having learned my lesson, I've posted about it in Spoilers Lite. If you're not phobic and you need a little pick me up after a mostly lackluster summer run for ABDC, as I have needed lately, then you should definitely check it out. You will squee. Or at least, I did. Also, it is reported on EW.com, so you could just read it there, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I read some blog somewhere talking about how some of the cheftestants look like other people, and still don't know half of their names, so: I thought it was interesting that Beck was the one who was all politically offended by the challenge. And I REALLY wish she had learned anything from past seasons, and not made a frigging dessert!

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

But Ashley's reaction was ridiculous. Would she never cater a reception? Never serve a couple on their anniversary?

I just hope next week we don't get treated to another lecture because gays can't serve openly in the military and ZOMG BRAVO IS SO MEAN TO MAKE ME DO THIS.

Because while I am 100% with her on equal marriage rights, maybe if you're against het couples celebrating their coupledom, a career in hospitality is not for you?

Also, no extra dishes and ESPECIALLY not an extra dessert and ESPECIALLY not an extra dessert that's something fussy like panna cotta! Jeeze! Watch the show, chefs!

Okay, Project Runway cast 2-3 certifiable weirdos this season. They got rid of one last week, I'm wondering if the 2nd is going to go this week.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I'm surprised, but not displeased by the Runway boot tonight. But seriously, Mitchell must go soon. It's unbelievable how much all the models hate him after only two episodes. He was right about the bowling ball bag thing, though. Poor Ra'Mon. I hope he can make a comeback because I really like him. He's so pretty.

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

Mitchell is kind of a dick, frankly. He messed up the shorts. Usually bad execution is the kiss of death, but the other outfit was just so unflattering that they had to get rid of it. At least with Mitchell's outfit, they saw what he was going for, and would have appreciated it if it was done well. Concept guy was just a big mess.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

And to think, if not for Tim's calming influence, that poor model would've been in jodhpurs so that her bottom half could look like chicken thighs. Really? I definitely think the right person went home, but if Mitchell drags Ra'Mon down into the B3 again next week, I will cut him.

The Qristyl/Epperson drama looks delicious. My money is on Qristyl in that one.

Shrin's win was deserved. I would buy that coat in a heartbeat. I really loved Irina's again this week. I feel like she is not getting her props. I would not have had Althea's look among the top 3. That bodice was a nip slip waiting to happen.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That coat is awesome.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

so...ummm. SYTYDCism on on twitter mentioned they'd like to see Nick Lazzarini as a guest judge on the next season of SYTYCD. i responded saying: "the same @nicklazzarini that's badmouthed the show since he won? no thanks. i'd rather see @blakemcgrath." this morning i load tweetdeck and this pops up. i'm not sure he and i have the same definition of "badmouthing".

Because books.

Shirin's dress and coat were beautiful. Like Rebecca said, pregnant or not, I'd wear that. The handwork along the waistline was just gorgeous.

The bird's nest thing was horrifying. I said to S. as soon as the model walked out that it looked like she'd had the baby and was wearing a sling. And Mitchell is just a mess -- cute concept or not, look at those shorts beside what Shirin accomplished in the same time. You need to be able to SEW, people.
