Sing-off
I missed it again. I just can`t do Wednesdays. What happened? You can whitefont.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Except the eliminations were kind of BS.
You think? Stephen was like, "Yeah, I don't really cook anymore... but this was fun!" And at least now there's just the one Dale? Still two Tiffan(y)(i)s, though.

Yeah, but Tiffani? With that mess?

Well, they judges both said that Dale's and Stephen's were really awful to eat. It seemed like Tiffani's and Fabio's were at least edible, just not very good.

Because books.
The Sing-Off: Liese, all four remaining groups wound up moving to the finale in a totally staged surprise! announcement.
First they did icons/superstars -- Streetcorner Symphony did the Beatles and Jerry Lawson and Talk of the Town did Otis Redding. The Backbeats did Gaga, and Committed did Usher.
Then each group was given a song chosen by the judges, which worked really well. Committed did Al Green's "Let's Stay Together," Streetcorner did Credence's "Down on the Corner," Talk of the Town did "House of the Rising Sun," which was really great, and the Backbeats (I thought) completely mangled "Landslide."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Top Chef: I'm with Nora. While I was surprised that Dale went home this early and on a challenge that should have been great for him, I didn't get the feeling it was undeserved, and I never thought Stephen would last long.

Thank you, Amy!

Because books.
Top Chef: Me, too. That was a *strange* dish Dale created, and I think even Stephen knew he wasn't long for the competition.
I have to say, though, much as I love Fabio, last night's dish really did *look* awful.

Art Crawl!!!
TC - yes the eliminations last night made sense. I think that Dale didn't quite "get" what it was that the chef at Townhouse was doing - so he went with the whimsical without realizing the concept behind it.
Yes, Stephen did seem to realize that he is out of practice in the kitchen.

I know! When the judges raved about it, I thought they were crazy. I used all of my 10 votes for Street Corner Symphony, who whiffed a bit on the Beatles but totally nailed CCR. I loved the way they slipped in their group name into the song!
