LTD was not bad. I only saw the first hour so far, but it kept up a rapid pace, so I'm okay with that. I didn't like the uneven viewing of dancers (some got a LOT of time, others not so much). Some questionable decisions to move people on, but oh well.

Okay, so I finished LTD. The show is quite like the Got Talent shows but I wasn't as bored as I get with those shows (US and UK) sometimes. One problem with LTD is that I wasn't WOWED by any act yet. Typically at this stage, I can say: I really liked this group or that person and I'm not there yet. I think this is due to editing.
The schedule of the show is unknown so I have no idea how they will march 18 acts to the finale.
This show is pretty heavily produced, so I cannot imagine these are all first auditions. Some groups had SETS.

Because books.
Top Chef is going to be EPIC tonight.

The producers are really on fire with the challenges, for the most part.

And in other news, I continue to be madly in love with Fabio. He is ADORKABLE.

Wow, what an awesome QF and a crap ass Elimination Challenge.
Though it was awesome to see Susur.

Susur!
The elimination challenge was weird. None of them, aside from Dale, have much experience with that type of cooking, or those ingredients, so it seemed unfair from the start.
And the elimination itself was a strange choice. She gets no consideration for stepping up to serve and having someone else actually cook her food?

Dale and Antonio (um, that's his name, right? from the last regular season). I still kind of love Dale Talde. I just love his deadpan face.
Tom loves Jamie too much to send her home. Also, was this Casey's karma from Carla's finale sous vide situation?
