Art Crawl!!!

I'm going through my masses of TWOP alerts and guess what?

They've made forums for the new TAR teams - and one of them is made up of two Harlem Globetrotters!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Did anyone watch ANTM? Is it worth watching if it means not seeing SYTYCD until tomorrow?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I haven't watched it yet, but am willing to believe the answer is no. I think you could miss either, really -- I used to have a policy of not watching the first episode of any reality show...

Top Chef: I'm so glad it's Kevin sitting at that table! Out of all of the people who realistically it could have been, he's the only one besides Jen I could trust to not be an enormous tool.

Because books.

Oh, I think the brothers V. could have done it. Well, Brian at least.

I have SUCH a crush on Keller, it's embarrassing. And Robouchon looks like a French Truman Capote, sort of. Aprt from that, he was so intuitive about each dish. I guess he's chef of the century for a reason. Eli's remark about him being a unicorn was hysterical.

Heh. True that.

Nice to see Hubert again (and he made it so that Kevin wasn't the only one there with too much hair). I'm guessing if Jen wasn't there Eric Ripert would have been among the dinner guests, but conflict of interest and all.

You know, do you all like the idea of an elimination by Quick Fire? I agreed with the result, but I'm wondering now if I thought it was a good idea to eliminate someone then.

I agree with each of these points, except I'm afraid a brother would have thought it was his due to be there and gotten above his station. If not at the actual table, then after. Kevin is my boo.

Oh, I LOVE Kevin. But I also love Brian and Jen.

Yeah, le nubian, it's weird. But it's a way to change things up. And I thought letting them do the last-minute cookoff was a good idea.
