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'.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Yes! She gave Kevin part 1 because she was so sure she would beat Jordan in part 2. And now she's hoist on her own petard! Oh, and America is the "7th Juror" -- you can vote online for who you want to win in each of the possible final-two scenarios.

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

PR continues to baffle me this season. I'd like to give the judges the benefit of the doubt and say maybe I'd see their point if I were watching the show in HD?

But from where I was sitting Jonny's dress looked like it had been trimmed with safety scissors. It wasn't "wearable," it was UGLY.

Qrystal (sp?) should have gone with the brown fabric rather than the black, but I'm not a designer so maybe she didn't have the option once it had all been cut.

As someone who's been watching it HD, I say no. Perhaps I need to be watching it in HD while smoking crack.

Because books.

I miss Michael. And I don't think we've ever had an episode where BOTH Michael and Nina were missing. That was just odd.

Because Crave was closed by then. The owner of the building it was in screwed Robin around on the lease, so Robin closed the restaurant. I still long for another bowl of Robin's goat cheese gnocchi.

Whoa! That was recent, right? The reason I asked in my post that way is that as soon as I read your post here about it I checked the Seattle Zagat I bought for the trip, and it was in there. It hadn't been on my radar because of the location though. I debated making a trek to to the capital hill area, but there were too many other things going on in the interim.
