Oh, right, duh.
I'm glad she didn't get voted out, I'm sort of rooting for her at this point. I love that she got the camp together, and she has proved to be scrappy in the challenges, despite her size.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Richard Blais has a Top Chef blog up:
Carla hasn’t shucked oysters before? Really? This is an alarming admission, but really speaks to her strength. She’s not concerned with what she doesn’t know. She isn’t running around worrying about how Stefan is the guy to beat. She’s in her own world. It’s a strange place I’m sure, but it really is her greatest attribute. It’s not love, or spirits, or soul, or whatever we are led to believe. It’s keen self-awareness and confidence.

Top Chef:
She has calmed down. She was the whackaloon in the beginning, and a little irritating, but she's chilled out and now is charmingly eccentric.
This. So much this. I think Carla is going to pull this one out. She really seems to have come away from the last few New York challenges with the confidence to do it. From what little I've seen of the last episode, she's not the least bit nervous about it, and that can make all the difference.
I have to wonder how much of Carla's personality evolution is genuine and how much of it is editing. When you have a contestant who was doing poorly in the beginning but who you know will be in the finals, it's no big stretch to give them an arc for the audience to follow.
Heh. Also this. That was probably my biggest eye opener upon working on film and TV - it's the editor's project. Principal photography is just parts manufacturing.
Tangentially related - a friend of a friend saw Watchmen. The only tidbit I've gleaned so far is that all that slo-mo in the trailers? Not in the movie. The sequences are, but they're not in slo-mo. Movie trailer editors just make shit up.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
The "Project Runway" finale was evidently taped today. Writes the Associated Press:
NEW YORK — "Project Runway" taped its sixth-season finale Friday, but something was missing: the finalists. Because of a legal battle, three unknown designers sent their collections down the runway at the tents in Bryant Park on the final day of New York Fashion Week. The designers stayed hidden backstage.
Host Heidi Klum said she was "a little bit sad" the finalists couldn’t have their moment in the spotlight after working so hard to get there.
She said the show is "in a bit of a limbo and we hope that everything gets sorted out very soon."
The new season of "Project Runway," which aired on Bravo, has been delayed because of a legal battle involving NBC Universal, which owns Bravo; the Weinstein Co.; and the Lifetime Channel.
That must have been one weird show ...

Wow -- I didn't even know they were shooting.

Yeah, I've seen bits and pieces about the lawsuit on the wire, but they kept the shooting SERIOUSLY mum. I guess the season was supposed to start airing last month.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There was a large-ish article in yesterday's paper about it ... but since it's not one of the shows I follow, I kind of skimmed. Just enough to know that there were disagreements about it (would kerfuffle apply here?).

Not really. The lawsuit's a bit too major for that, I think. All told, several million dollars on the line.
