TC - Mike is still a jerk but of course, now that Antonia is "family" he's rooting for her, as opposed well..forever when he hated her and thought she should go home. I was sorta hoping that he'd go. I was glad about the outcome, and how nice was it that not only did the cheftestants get their geneology done, but a family visit too (Carla's husband was just beaming while they were talking about her food.. what a cutie!)

I can't get enthusiastic about any of them. I may have burned out on ANTM

Toddson, totally agree. I frankly don't care about any of them, and we may delay the rest of the season until the summer when there is nothing on or ya know, never.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Richard's sourpuss face whenever he doesn't win is getting on my last nerve. I'd hate to break the news to you, buddy, but the women on this show have just as much a right to be there as you do! And I'm getting really sick and tired of Mike getting all pissy about Carla's simple yet tasty food. She decided to do something completely different for the quickfire challenge and won--deal with it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Survivor-- Woo Hoo! I was thrilled to see Russell get taken out.

I like what we see emerging from tribe members who were not prominent earlier. Looks like there are some strong players on both tribes. Also, I am digging the whole Redemption Island thing. You have to think about who you vote off from the very beginning.

I'm kinda with you on that, but OTOH, I hate that people feel like they have to be happy when others win. My favorite Oscar moment ever was when they were announcing the winner of best supporting actor, and you know how they have the tight shot of the nominees? Well, when someone other than Samuel Jackson won, you could clearly see him saying "Damn!" it was hilarious! Everyone else had a frozen smile on their face.

And I'm getting really sick and tired of Mike getting all pissy about Carla's simple yet tasty food.

fixed that for ya.

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

I think it's possible to be frustrated with not winning while still being gracious about it. Richard is just a dick.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

The models on this cycle of ANTM are less than inspiring. Last season had Anne who was such a curious little creature that she kept me interested. This year, I agree, nobody stands out. I'm holding out for a miraculous post-makeover transformation maybe? Except for how Tyra's makeovers just always make the girls look 10 million ways crazy with busted weaves and bad dye jobs so . . . yeah, I got nothing. I may be done with ANTM, too.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Tyra's said that she really hates Sara's ... rattail? is that the word? for the little braid of hair going down her back, so we know that's going to go right away. And I think the makeovers are next week - they were showing previews of girls getting their hair done (over sounds of sobbing, as usual).

And last night one girl just ... quit. Ondrei, was that her name? resigned, left before judging ... and they still sent another girl home.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

I loved Top Chef! It was so wonderful to see all five chefs do so well, but the elimination was killing me! I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Richard is kind of a dick, isn't he? Did he really say that he was the last of the really good chefs left in the competition? He has a HUGE ego.

I'm excited to see the returning winners next week. I really hope Stephanie kicks Richard's ass!
