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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm watching Top Model right now, and it doesn't seem you missed much, yet, Jesse. Other than a batshit crazy girl talking about how much she loves Jesus. And another girl talking about how she doesn't understand why she has no friends...and takes a rusty wheelbarrow to school instead of a backpack. um.
Idol news: Um... I mean, I love Ellen, but really?
I think this is a terrible idea. Just awful. She nearly ruined SYTYCD.
And ... she has a show! I don't get it.
Keeping my eyes covered about Top Chef (I'm just getting started with Glee; TC is next) but I have to burble about tonight's SYTYCD audition round. It's soooo terrific to see some really strong tappers trying out.
I really hope that Bianca gets to the top 20--she was probably my favorite girl to miss out last year.
And Ryan is even more charismatic than Evan. Nice to see him perform without a hat on. The other male tapper who finished off the show was even better than Ryan!!
Man, it's too bad you can't get a live feed of the judge's table like on Big Brother. I'd totally pay money to watch that whole dinner unfold.
