I. Am. A MORON. I did not realize that the Robin on Top Chef is Robin from my favorite restaurant of all time, Crave! Now I have to go watch clips of TC and cheer for Robin. Because I would eat anything she cooks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I also am very curious what happened to crazy Jesus chick who didn't make it on to the actual show because of some "issue". Did she go full mental?? She seemed awful close. Or did she get MORE Jesus-y and decided He didn't want her on the show? Or what???

I would like to know that as well!

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

Jesse! I still haven't watched last night's big Brother.

Was Kevin as stupid as we thought he would be?

They aren't going down to the final two until the finale! They just did part two of the challenge.

Art Crawl!!!

Kat - I thought her name was Louise too. What is her name?

I finally watched Project Runway. I am not fashionista enough to understand the look that won. I thought that the shorts looked like diapers.

ETA: Whoops. Ok, so that girl is really not named Louise Brooks, but she looks like Louise Brooks, right? Well, I forget her name, but it was the one who looks like Louise Brooks.

Louise Black, maybe?

goes and looks on the interwebs

Yep, Louise Black. The designer I know(ish). She has a good design sense, and does beautiful work. Kind of dodgy about communication and deadlines when she was running her own businesses, tho'.

Kevin won the endurance part, in a deal with Natalie that he said (in the DR) he'd break. And THEN, JORDAN won part two! It was very exciting. She totally knew all of the facts and didn't fuck it up like Natalie did.

Why was this place not brought up prior to the F2F? Because I would have made that excursion. Hell, given that my legs were in decent shape at that point, I'd have walked.

Gives stern look northwestward

So Natalie won't be the final HOH? Cool.
