CJ can go home now. She's such a whiny baby about her hair and is taking it out on her job--not a good idea! Chris, however, seemed to be a nice guy who couldn't work on getting some range. At least we saw Colin busting his ass to get his walk right.

Sandhurst was amazing in that shoot--he's going to have a big future in modeling even if he doesn't win. Colin should be taking notes on how to move and improvise during a shoot.

And whoever said that anyone done up in that candycane makeup was going to look brilliant was actually right. It was a very striking look that would have taken a lot to screw up.

Best makeover was Jonathan, definitely! He looks scrumptious now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally. Colin looked weird with so much makeup on, though -- I can't imagine he would ever actually be hired by an edgy brand.

I think Celia looks like Martha Plimpton at times, but maybe JJL also.

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

And this is why I love him:

Mark Bittman, I don't think he adds value to anyone's TV show. He doesn't come off well on TV. Let's put it that way. I saw him make paella once on a TV show; he's been dead to me ever since

Hah!

We tried watching Chopping Block and lasted through about one commercial break. Granted, we jumped in about 10 minutes in, and were a bit confused as to the premise, but there was nothing compelling about it, despite Marco White.

I like what he said about Good Eats being such an anomaly on Food Network, since it's smart and informative and lasted as long as it has.

This is my favorite (on Sandra Lee):

The most terrifying thing I've seen is her making a Kwanzaa cake. Watch that clip and tell me your eyeballs don't burst into flames. It's a war crime on television. You'll scream.

I love that he loves the Ace of Cakes crew. OF COURSE!
