I'd never really thought about it before, but this is one of the few reality shows where you actually could scope out a key piece of the challenge ahead of time (well, I suppose Top Chefs could hang out at Whole Foods)- I can't imagine not doing so. I wonder what the other contestants did or didn't do with that.

Just finished watching the winner of NFNS. He was a decent presenter, but his food wasn't perfect. He burned some of the chicken, as well as the pork, and his oven fries didn't get crispy. I wonder if they didn't want to spend the money to reshoot it.

And memorize at least one killer dessert.

Oh, definitely memorize at least one dessert.
I thought that Aaron's food looked kind of greasy but it was an okay show. We'll see what sort of stuff he does when he's NOT doing his kids' favorite foods.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. That sounds like kind of a fun show.
On Big Brother, Dan became my favorite when he started giving the motivational speeches.

SYTYCD: They are working those poor kids until they drop! Two of the F4 contestants were rushed to the hospital this past weekend. Poor noodles!

Those poor kids. They all want it so bad, they're killing themselves with work. I hope it doesn't have too much affect on the quality of the final performances, because I'd hate to see one of them lose just because they were exhausted.

I think the schedule the show has given them has to take some of the blame - they've been dancing two dances + solo + group dance for weeks now. Also, I could have sworn last season the top four had an extra week before the finale to give them a little time to rest up.
I couldn't keep away from the spoilers about who danced what and who supposedly went to the hospital, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night.

Interesting! I wonder how much their "Who could start tomorrow?" question played into naming Aaron the winner, in that case (since his was going to be a studio cooking show, and Adam's sounds like it required a ton of preproduction - research, location scouting, etc).
The last Shear Genius short-cut challenge was awesome! The funny thing is, my hair is currently deep blue/purple with pinky highlights on top - exactly what Nekesa was going for and failed to do because she COMPLETELY LACKS TALENT. I couldn't believe they didn't send her home.
Likewise, the winning dress last week on PR was just awful. WTF was with that poofy thing on her hip?
