Well, I could come down just about anytime at this point. My social and professional (hahahaha) calendar are pretty empty. When would be good for others?
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

What, no Survivor? no PR?
Survivor was particularly lame. It seemed like Jeff and the challenge designers decided to take the week off.
Loved the PR challenge. I can't believe Nicholas wasn't in the bottom three--that was hideous. Christopher's wasn't totally flattering, but I thought it the fabric looked cool.

What he did with the fabric was great but he turned it into a total mess. I had the same "garbage bag" reaction as Michael Kors.
I always find the judging so uncomfortable when they use real people as models. Because outside of some clear disasters, you can usually see that the women are loving going down that runway, and then get to hear the judges go on about how awful they looked? Oof.

I finally caught the Next Iron Chef, and I totally agree that the "extreme cuisine" challenge was a horrid idea for a first round elimination. Maybe if ICA was using those wacky kind of ingredients like the original did it would make sense, but as things are - nsm. A few weeks down the road would have been a lot better.
Also, I must sadly agree that Steingarten seems to have permanently crossed over from curmudgeon to asshole.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Survivor was particularly lame. It seemed like Jeff and the challenge designers decided to take the week off.
These people are WAY too well behaved - if Jeff's not there to referee, why do the challenge at all? Why not say whoever gets to the chickens first wins them? Split the chickens up and rock-paper-scissors for the last one?
If this was a test on how to be a dumb sheep, everyone passed with flying colors.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I had the same "garbage bag" reaction as Michael Kors.
Me, too! But Epperson (as much as I love his personality) put out a second super-dated, ugly dress in a row, after that horrendous shirt-dress last week. That entire silhouette just screamed "'80s!!!!" with a dash of (like the judges said) "Oktoberfest." Ugh. So, as much as I had a visceral dislike of Christopher's garbage bag look, Epperson had to go.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So I totally misread who went home on TC:LV and now I'm pissed!! It should have been the other one similarly named.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Survivor: But I love that Shambo KNEW chickens, TALKED to chickens and yet could not control the selfame chickens. Doofus. Or as we say in my house for the female version of the term, Doofa.
I also liked seeing more of Galu this time.
