Just Desserts - OMG Morgan, we get it.

I'm so bummed about the elimination in that episode.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Me too! I thought for sure it was whiny Danielle's turn to go.

Unfortunately, Morgan and Heather both seem to be pretty good pastry chefs, which means we're going to be listening to their drama for the duration of the season.

Just Desserts is such a train wreck. The elimination last night surprised me, but I wasn't unhappy about it.

Punishingly Intricate

The elimination last night surprised me, but I wasn't unhappy about it.

Man, it has been painful to watch. And yet I can't stop. I wish that the judges had repeated the nice things they said about Danielle's dishes in front of the other contestants (or that they showed it).

Why are they all so horrible??? (Except the one quiet guy)

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

I wonder if there is going to be a second season?

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

Let me make this clear:

I am not Gretchen's biggest fan, but Ivy has shown herself to be a superbitca on the reunion ep. I mean damn.

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

Nina and Michael are giving me agita, people. I cannot believe what I am seeing and hearing.

It's really fascinating to see so much more of the judging discussion this season, but man, I think they're leaning toward a winner I just can't get behind.

Heidi judges strictly based on herself as a customer and a woman who loves clothes. Nina and Michael are much more rooted in the industry and the business end of it, I suppose naturally.

I just can't understand Nina saying that Gretchen's collection is of the moment and where fashion is going. But I think I can't see past the repetitive prints and what I think is a really muddy, sad palette to the shapes and the movement in her clothes.

Holy god Nina, it's not "orientalist" when it's done by an Asian designer. I mean, what the fuck??

Me neither. I mean, I don't know enough about fashion to contradict her but I hope she's wrong because I really disliked that collection.
