Work of Art annoyed me tonight. I was underwhelmed by both pieces. And I agree with you about Eric, Vortex.

Nicole exclaiming "Mother of pearl!" was amusing, though.

Top Chef: There are just so few people I like this season. And the skill level does seem low after last season. I keep hoping when the numbers go down, I'll have picked a few favorites but right now I could not care less.

TC: It's like they need to cull the herd before it's worth watching.

WoA: Eric was in over his head from the beginning but his calling them out on their Art school bullshit was worth it.

SYTYCD: Anya is just magnificent, but even she could not save that jive!

The music was HORRIBLE for the jive! I honestly don't think anyone could have made a jive look good to that!

I can't believe how much I'm starting to like Lauren. Once she got that plastic smile off her face, I started noticing that she can actually dance!

Boogie Shoes was awesome! I really hope Billy Bell sticks around because he finally seems to be progressing. I'd like to see him get another contemporary.

Dominic really outdanced Jose.

And omg... Mark! So sexy!

Also the whole sexy duck prep monologue, so skeevy.

OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY. I don't care how good his food tastes, I have completely lost my appetite for it FOREVER. EW EW EW.

I'm disappointed that Tim is gone, but just because I liked him. His food seemed lacking, though.

Yeah, me too. I kept wanting him to do well, but his food never quite got there.

I hope that Angelo was joking with the "I've had crabs" comment. A bad joke is the only way that makes sense.

Which is the one who made minestrone incorrectly? She is the one who cooked chicken with sherry for school children. She needs to go.

Amanda, I think. Who doesn't know minestrone has noodles? That astounded me.

And Tom asking her, "Why do we cut vegetables into equal sizes?" was just embarrassing. Even I know that!

I'm sad that Eric's experience was so horrible. (Too bad he didn't wind up with Ryan and Mark - they also have no patience with Miles.)

And I'm very glad that Nichole's team won. I like Nichole and I thought that team just worked so well together.

Amy - and what about her telling the other cheftestants that she was so concerned with the depth of flavor that she didn't notice that she hadn't chopped all the veggies the same size!!

Amanda will be out soon. She just doesn't pay attention, and it's going to bite her in the ass.

She's reminding me of Leah, too, and I couldn't stand her.
