I thought that they were very cute together and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who noticed.

Hopefully, it won't devolve into the crap we had to sit through last season.

(But I think that they are both too good and too competitive for that, right?)

Do you think that they edited to try to make it look like Mike I. had MORE creative control of the sauce? Or less?

Because I really thought that it sseemed, once again, like more like Bryan's creation.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Did anyone watch Project Runway last night?

I really thought Epperson was going to win--he was getting the winning edit, and that dress was terrific. Especially compared to the one that followed it down the runway, Johnny's purple bridesmaid gown. Althea's little suit was a real standout, though, and I loved the female judges response to it ("I'd walk out of here today with that if I could!").

And Qrystal (sp?) learned that playing it safe gets you booted. That little black dress was so blah, especially compared to the one at the end of the runway show (Ra'mon's dress?), which was a fabulous number.

@@@@@@@

Although, after how last season turned out, I guess I should just be grateful that Mike I. hasn't had a "shared moment" with any of the cheftestants.

I have no doubt that Mattin is French.

He is from the Basque country and the name Mattin is Basque, not French, but it is very unlikely that Basque is his native language. I think he just had an odd moment. And he has been living here for some time.

Having been complemented many times on my English while living in France, I don't find Robuchon's comment odd at all.

I don't even watch the show and I'd say, they are already "doing it".

Yeah, I sort of thought Althea's was a cool concept, but looked like a hot mess. And, if Heidi has an issue with boobs, I thought her model looked worse in that regard.

I'm happy with the boot, she's done nothing that really interested me.

Me too. I kind of hated it, a lot.

It seemed to me like it was totally Bryan's idea and Mike just had to execute it. From reading Tom's blog, it sounds like the judges recognized that it was Bryan's too.
