Oh yeah. I missed the first say, 20 minutes of it but I got the rest and quite enjoyed it. Good to see Ramsey in food loving non-shouty mode.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I can never remember Amanda's name, so I just call her Leah. She's like her doppleganger or something. Which means she'll get super far in the competition without having much skill.

I almost watched Master Chef last night, but then I found Poltergeist on WGN and stuck with that.

YES, this.

I watched a TC:M repeat from the first season and I just love Rick Bayliss (and Hubert Keller) SO SO MUCH. Chiarello was not so much of an ass as I remembered him- in this ep anyway, the one with Zooey Deschanel and the tribe of misunderstood vegans.

Rick Bayliss
He was awesome. He seemed so even-keeled despite his reputation for exacting authenticity.

I went back and forth on Chiarello. He was kind of a dick, but about stuff that made sense, like when he made the sous chefs do stuff in the kitchen. He didn't know the people, so it kind of made sense. Although at the time, it seemed dickish.

I have to second megan in saying that I both really enjoy Master Chef and care so little about this season's TC that I've missed it the last two weeks running and I feel OK about it. I have them both taped, but I haven't been all the inspired to check them out. I do like Tiffany best, so I'm glad to hear that she's still rocking the house.
IOcookingshowN, I finally saw the last NFNS and I couldn't be more pleased that Arti won. Further, I will definitely check out her show when it debuts. But it was completely obvi all season long that she would win despite the whole "Does she have enough confidence?" intrigue that they tried to gin up.
And at jazz class today, there was a long discussion of Step Up 3D in which we all agreed that the 3D was completely unnecessary. We also all agreed that we enjoy Lil C very much and missed his inanity on this season's panel.

Ha! Yes.
I was annoyed by the amount of time we were getting the contestants talking about each other's looks, but once the judges started saying just the opposite it was pretty amusing.
I'm not loving any of these looks. The cardboard-y one is nifty, the other's in the top 3 are just okay, for me. The "resort wear" is icky and the satin leggings ruin that whole look.

Exactly. And seeing Gretchen being WRONG was excellent.
I liked Valerie's dress very much. And I did like Michael C.'s -- I'm not sure where all the criticism from the others came from. He doesn't come across as unlikeable.
Peach needs to stop making little tailored dresses and break out a bit, too.
