"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm glad Seth is gone from Top Chef Just Desserts. I had no idea his flame out would be that bad. I don't know what his deal is but I hope he gets some help.

I'm not sure what else he may have, but that anxiety attack was very recognizable to me. I'm glad he's gone to though. However, I thought after he left that the episode would be lighter on drama, and nsm.

Because books.

Seth's got some major issues. That was really uncomfortable to watch. He did seem a little calmer in the to-camera interview they obviously taped later, and his hair was shorter, too, so maybe it was a while later.

All I know is, a Lucent Dossier show looks AWESOME. It's like a gothy bondage circus with fire.

Thrive to spite them

I kinda recognized the manic can't sit still thing going on.

I wish it hadn't gotten so far as him fainting, but I'm glad he's off the show. I was worried this season was just going to be filled with Seth drama all season.

I was worried the producers were just going to keep giving his behavior a pass the way they were with him not doing the actual challenge.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Open Letter to Lifetime and Project Runway producers:

After heavily promoting a supposed "cheating" scandal on "Project Runway" from nearly the first episode, I looked forward to seeing what the heck happened this season that would involve cheating. Several weeks later, after not seeing anything mentioned about cheating, I forgot all about the promoted "scandal."

After seeing the "cheating" episode tonight, I am pretty appalled that you would have promoted the event in such a misleading, disingenuous way.

In other words, you suck. There was no scandal.

Fuck you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm only 15 minutes in, so I can't comment on that, yet. But I came in here to say - I never like Heidi being the client.

Eta: I do like that she says "Tchuss" as she's leaving each designer, though. Not enough to figure out how to post an umlaut, but it's cute.

OK, yeah, that was ridiculous.

As to the clothes - Andy's are my favorites, but I don't really love any of them. But I don't love Heidi's line that they are supposed to fit into, so.

April's in the top? Huh. I really don't like what she did.

The more I look at Andy's the more I like them. I could use some of that.

Because books.

I didn't love anything tonight. But for me, active wear is active wear, and getting too fancy with it is a little silly.

I really didn't like Ivy tonight. Dude, you're off. You're essentially an employee in this episode. You had a problem, you should have discussed it when you were still competing. I love that Tim completely minimized the whole issue.

I'm not sure Michael C. is as sweet and victimized as he tries to play it, but either way Ivy has always seemed like an enormous, and spectacularly untalented, bitch to me.

Wow, Ivy really came off badly, yeah.
