And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's interesting, about the possible misjudging. I do wish they'd addressed it in the broadcast though, rather than just letting all of us assume that CBS has decided to let its producers drink heavily on the job.

Even a five-second paragraph on the screen that summarized the situation would have been enough.
On the plus side, there were real Clues the teams had to figure out, AND the balance plates or play accordion challenge was sufficiently tricky. (And how do you like the one couple that tried the accordions and gave up, saying that NO ONE could get it, despite the fact that a bunch of teams had already done it... sigh.)

I'm watching last night's Next Iron Chef. What were they thinking trying to make a pièce montée in two hours? Also, what was up with complaining about the crunchiness of the caramel? It's right there in the name, croquenbouche literally means "crunch in the mouth."

No comments on The Fashion Show. Iman was FABULOUS. I loved her at the end "you can stay." Like granting a pardon. And of course "Tomato, tomahto, it was yellow!"

I missed it! I am taping it this afternoon and will watch it later. I love me some Iman.

Iman is a goddess! I particularly loved how she told the designers in danger, "Don't Move." And the wigs. Oh my stars, the wigs! And Calvin is going to be oodles of fun while he lasts. Here come hell go? I'm still not sure I even know what that means, but I kind of love it.

Worst go-see attempts ever. Milan's big, but it's not that big.

Hah! I was wondering if this was just a particularly shitty group of models, or if Milan really was that confusing.

Granted I've never been there, but, for example, there are only 3 subway lines. It is the biggest Italian city size-wise, but, precisely because it's such a huge economic center, it should have been easier to navigate, or find someone to help. We filmed there recently for my latest project and it seems like where they needed to go would be a fairly compact area.
