Yay the gayboys doing good gay ballroom dancing this year!! WOOT! And going through to Vegas! I'm sure they won't make it through but still.

I'm sad I can't watch ANTM though. Sigh.

What did she do? I'm not watching, but nw I am curious.

Came out in spandex as "Super Smize!" A super hero for smiling with your eyes. Her people must have spent the off-season making up words, because we had "Tyovers" instead of makeovers this year, too...

I was especially pissed because that was the brother (he's the other Michael) who was teamed with her last week when they were one of the two winning teams.

Wholeheartedly agree. That was straight out bullshit.

I was pretty surprised about that, as well. Also, Kevin- but he hadn't JUST worked with him and flattered him excessively at Judges Table.

I was hoping Laurine would get a win- not because I like her particularly, but it would be nice to mix up the wins a little.

Re: Mike V. bitching that someone he considered talented went home when someone else (less talented) is still there: Welcome to Top Chef, dude. Are you new here? Also, Hector effed up cooking a filet of beef. I figure if someone effs up something I can (and have) done successfully at home, they shouldn't be there. Seriously, Hector?

I like Kevin more and more, and still can't tell the brothers apart, even when I try. And I'm annoyed that one of them put Mike I in his top group and left out Jen, even though she appeared to not even be in this episode.

Well since he didn't mention Kevin either, I'm thinking it might be an editing thing.

Although, Michael V was clearly getting the bitchy edit this week. I was starting to worry about his fate.

I can't believe how many people chose fish last night. When I think ranch cooking, I certainly don't think fish.

Actually, they seem to be using it a lot more than usual, don't they? I think Jen has made fish or seafood for every challenge except when she was assigned the sauce chasseur.

Loved the quickfire and the fact that they were pretty much on an even playing field. Sad that the one person who knew how to use it was Mike I.

SO SAD. Blech.

Brian (Bryan?) looks so surprised every time he wins. And I think he knows it's pissing his brother off. I'm just worried that Michael's competition with BRIAN is going to affect how he competes overall.

I'm more perplexed by the Season of Ceviche. I said to Allyson last night, "This is Top Chef, not Top Ceviche!"

I'm waiting for the judges table where the bottom three ALL make ceviche.

I'd never even heard of ceviche until the past year or so. And I totally agree that fish on a desert cookout was not the best idea in the world.

SYTYCD: this round of auditions did not impress me at all. I did like the gay ballroom dancers (very impressive), and it'll be interesting to see how far the deaf dancer can go in Vegas, but other than that, no one really stood out except as The Ones To Be Mocked.

Oh, and the b-boy at the end; he was good, too. I've been wondering where all the hiphoppers were at this season!

I'm more perplexed by the Season of Ceviche.

Well, that's certainly part of it.

I'd never even heard of ceviche until the past year or so.

But do you know how to pronounce it?

Don't you think they chose fish because it would cook faster? I wouldn't want to cook a steak over a campfire. I'd rather eat all vegetables first.

SYTYCD: I think the Deaf woman has skill, but not skilled enough to compete on SYTYCD. The show has EXCELLENT dancers. Homegirl ain't gonna make it and shouldn't.
