"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I'd love that!

really, it could be a 5 minute thing where viewers send in pics of the pieces or them wearing the pieces, and Tim would do a John Madden thing with a pen, adding a scarf or saying "get the skirt tailored to this length" or whatever.

A lot of times, I think that they pick them worst cases because it makes the watchers feel better about themselves "well, at least I don't wear that "

I'm sure you're right. They pick the people that will provide the AMAZING REVEAL. But, personally, I feel like I've already seen that show so often that I'm bored.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

On Top Design, Jeff Lewis continues to crack my ass up. I have definitely grown to appreciate him over the seasons of Flipping Out.

Because books.

He was WONDERFUL. And thank GOD, Eddie is gone.

Punishingly Intricate

oh dang it! I forgot I hadn't watched the last 1/2 hour of Top Design and just spoiled myself! I was worried at Todd's walkthrough though that it might be Nathan.

I thought Preston looked upset in some of the interviews, so wondered if he was out, but I think he was actually just upset talking about his father's death. That explains why he's not interested in drunken antics, beyond just not wanting to play Eddie's bitchy games....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I felt for Preston, I really did. He seems like someone who really needs a hug.

I recognize what a sacrifice I would be making, but I'm more than willing to be the hug provider he needs.

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

So, Sugar - I'm now leaning more towards "playing dumb" than "thinks she's playing dumb but also actually is." Getting rid of Ace was a smart move.

Yeah, she redeemed herself from the insane stupidity exhibited last week.

I am watching Top Chef reruns, whee! I can't wait till the new season.

Art Crawl!!!

I watched Top Design yesterday. I am so glad that Eddie is out. Ondine really outdid herself and I think that Preston did his usual amazing job. I was worried that they'd prefer Eddie's consistency to Nathan's occasional brilliance but I'm so glad that Nathan got through.

Eddie is just BORING as a designer. I don't care if the rooms are good and useful: isn't that good designer, not Top Designer?
