Also, Kors maybe doesn't know what a goiter is? But still funny.
ETA as judging continues:
MC's dress must have looked a lot different in person. The judges were all really effusive about it in a way they were not at all about any others, so I don't know that the general nastiness had a lot to do with it.
I'm just happy to see Ivy and Gretchen in the unmentioned middle. Hah.
I liked Mondo's well enough. But the judges are right that the hair and styling sucked the life out of it.
Is ALT still on the ANTM judges panel this season? I need more dreckitude. Also, here's hoping Tyra has gotten over the jumpsuit thing. Maybe she'll branch out to rompers this season? Or really send the Fug Girls round the bend and do a whole season of dress over pants.
I just can't get used to PR on Lifetime. I've missed it the last three weeks. Doesn't sound like I'm missing much, though.
Interesting comment from Peach on Project Rungay:
Michael Costello came onto the show, he even said this to us, because he wants his own reality show and he’s creating this character that you see. There were two sides of Michael Costello and one of them did not have the nicest language; not just curse words, subject matter too. I don’t know how to put it, but he is not the victim that they’re painting him to be.
Intriguing! I hope we get to see some of that. I don't usually care for too much personality drama, but I'm into it this season.
Peach is just too cute. I love her comments about her losing dress.
It drives me nuts when these shows try to pump up the drama that way. (Pea puree anyone?) If MC was batmouthing Ivy, they should have had it on camera. If the peas were stolen, ditto. If that shit is really happening, show it. Otherwise, let it go. This is not why we're watching these shows. It's not BB or the fucking Bachelor.
Amen, brenda. If I wanted all of the personality drama and camera fucking, I'd be watching Real Housewives.
seriously. that pea puree fiasco really bothered me.
If that shit is really happening, show it.
Definitely. If it's an editorial choice not to, I don't get it.
Did you guys catch this week's No Reservations? Ripert and Bourdain in Paris!
ION, looks like this week isn't it for this season of Top Chef - apparently, it's only part 1 of the finale. Sigh.
More importantly, Ripert speaking lots and lots of French!
