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

Although I like him more than Coach. Russell is crazy in a much more insane and amusing (to me) way.

Oh hell no - I'd even take Fairplay over Russell. I hate him that much. Maybe he'll get eaten by a shark, though.

MY FUCKING CABLEVISION PIECE OF SHIT DVR DID NOT RECORD TOP CHEF. A-FUCKING-GAIN.

Instead, it taped some random house-flipping show at 2:30am, and it didn't even do THAT properly - half the show was missing!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

The over the top crazy is entertaining to me though for some reason. I want him to get his comeuppance though.

I don't think I can emphasize enough how VERY MUCH I hated Coach. Since Russell is the Anti-Coach, I do begrudgingly find him an interesting player.

NOT COOL burning Water Polo's socks though. NOT COOL RUSSELL.

To me, Coach was just so freaking earnest that I couldn't attribute any malice to him. He really did honestly believe in his whole dragon-slayer Be The Best You Can Be schtick.

Russell is intentionally being a misogynist fuckwad, and he knows it. Coach was frequently intolerable, but he was never mean.

Because books.

Project Runway: Who told Eva Longoria and the other guest judge to dress alike?

I can't believe Carol Hannah's dress wasn't in the top tier. But Irina's coat is really spectacular.

It surprised me that no really *truly* bombed tonight. There wasn't one "My eyes!" horror. Even Johnny's is just boring.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I actually didn't like the trench coat. I would have liked it to be a color, I think, but keep the "fur" on the collar and sleeves natural. Almost like a shearling coat.

And I disagree with their assesment of Gordanna's dress. I really liked it.

Altheia's was my favorite. Again.

I lied -- the "punk" thing was a disaster.

I loved, loved, loved Carol Hannah's, though Christopher's is really a stand-out, too.

And I agree about the coat in one sense, Aims -- I would have preferred she dyed it or something.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Althea hit it out of the park. I think Christopher's looked like a costume. Irina's coat is ugly to me, but I'm amazed at the craft she achieved. I want Jonny and the other whiner to get the boot.

Well, good on the elimination. Not sure about the winner.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Tim badmouth someone. He was pissed!
