The winning one did have a bottom crust, so I think it counts.

The bigger questions - WTF with the peanut butter and celery?

Damn. I think in some of the fast parts Alex Fucking Wong was out-dancing Twitch. That was amazing. It started good and kept getting better and better!

I also am glad that my Adechike love is vindicated this week (finally!) And Jose totally brought it with Anya - he made me think he was sexy (when usually I just think he's nearly as adorable as Kent).

I hate Melinda, but she has also had HORRIBLE "draws". I mean, Ashley gets contemporary over and over and Melinda gets jive, samba, and whatever the hell that was last week? Also, Pasha looked ridiculous in those white pants, which is saying something.

I would love to have been in the camera/control room when the realized the strap broke and started worrying there would be breastage on live TV.

I think quiche, savory anyway, would be wrong because it was supposed to be dessert.

Did it have to be dessert? I thought that the challenge was to make a pie. I might have made a savory pie as to stand out from the others.

GO TO CAMERA THREE, CAMERA THREE DAMMIT!!!!! (camera three being the foot camera)

Maybe I just assumed dessert, Vortex, since Padma announced the new Just Desserts show with the challenge?

Yeah, I was with Vortex and thought it might be any kind of pie, not just dessert. I thought meat pie might have been an interesting way to go, but I don't know if they had the time to get that kind of filling right. That's why the "quiche" comment from the judge struck me as odd.

I would have done hand pies, which bake faster, instead of a big pie.

Me too. I was surprised people didn't go this way.

Plus give an opportunity to do something interesting with presentation, I think.

No I want pie. HAND PIES!

What's a hand pie? Like a mini pie or tart?

I'm just looking forward to the crowd thinning. In the beginning there are always too many people to keep track of.

Work of Art: I'm not sure anyone's watching but me, victor, and le nubian (?), but I'm really enjoying it! It was interesting to see how they responded to the challenge of shock art, and I did think Miles's should have gotten more notice -- it was so bold and so immediately recognizable as a statement.

Abdi's was fantastic, though. And I love John, but man, he totally missed the mark. The style was completely wrong. But he admitted at the outset that he was really uncomfortable doing that kind of art.

The girl who won -- Jacquelyn? -- was so out of her element. I think it's a total gimme that she won when she never would have come up with the Sharpies idea unless their mentor had pointed out that she needed to make more of a statement. I agree it worked, but when her whole idea was cam-whore pictures of herself alone? She got lucky.

Mmmm, hand pie.

Damnit, why isn't there a Dub Pies in Manhattan? I want mince & cheese for lunch.
