Brookside

It's possible the Amazing Bath Mat was so close to the race course because the city authorities of Antwerp wouldn't give permission to shut down/trash any more of their beautiful city.. I too loved the Greeter's reaction to the six pounds of fries (and took unkind pleasure in the "eater's" offended and defensive reaction). In reality, it was probably because she had no idea what six pounds is, having never known anything but kilos.

Alyssa Milano always dresses like crap. I agree about Georgina Chapman . How many of us have realized that we were or had been involved with jerks or worse. Does that make us culpable?

Shouldn't the show be called Project Runway Half Stars? A lot of those clothes were miserable, and looking at them I couldn't tell whether they were Spring or Autumn. Hated Casanova's because I find that style of trousers extremely unflattering and uncomfortable looking. I'd constantly be yanking at the middle panel because it was giving me a frontal wedgie. The yellow dress was hideous.. I wish they'd get a competent host. I like the mentor - she's tough but seems to know what she's talking about, unlike Tim Gunn for example (I know he doesn't do All Stars).

As soon as she walked on the runway that was my thought too! I have no credence for her as a judge! I was pretty indifferent to the (then) beautiful) Georgina Chapman, but I thought she did bring some insight to this episode.

It would have been hilarious if they'd had to shoot a protein out of a block of ice - imagine the carnage. (They actually had to ski, shoot a few targets, then chip away at the ice.) Agree about Carrie and that it would have been fun to have the Alaska woman too.

I swear, one of these days I'm going to keep track of how much airtime Gabby gets (and Saint Benson for that matter). Naturally my TV will be muted.

http://www.bravotv.com/the-daily-dish/top-chef-season-15-contestant-fatima-ali-diagnosed-with-cancer I think the timeline is probably that she started treatment just before the show started airing, not filming. Someone mentioned uptrend that the snow episode was filmed in early May. I can't imagine anyone could possibly start a reality the day after chemo.

That's how I feel about Bruce and his massive ego. There's nothing wrong with confidence, but a little humility can go a long way.

Todah rabah KC.

I was glad to see Top Chef provided winter coats (and boots?) for them. I was worried for them in the car shots when they were wearing flimsy sweatshirts.

Cook Like a Pro - Eggs. The amount of Roquefort cheese she threw on that salad was ridiculous, not just in terms of cost, but flavor too. We get it Ina, you're fabulous, but what's happened to your palate?

I was born in the UK in the early sixties. Boys wore shorts, girls didn't have trousers. Anyone else remember defrosting milk bottles on school radiators? (Before the days of Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher.)

It looked like newspaper to me too. I assume it was the placenta. All I could think was "Christmas miracle". I totally agree about Trixie. She made it worse by making it sound as though she was consoling them for the death.

Customarily during December in the UK theatres put on pantomimes, including Jack and the Beanstalk. They feature broad humour and stock characters including a man dressed as a woman, a leading man played by a woman, and a "horse.." Think Monty Python as opposed to The Nutcracker (and nothing to do with Christmas per se, except for the season).

I was surprised to see Shelagh's new baby with bare arms and legs, no hat, no socks. No houses in the UK were warm in the winter, never mind with those temperatures. (My mum was pregnant with me that winter and had an 18-month-old and a three year old. And had a very steep hill to deal with.)

Who serves food in a fish bowl? Oh yes, Tu. Guest judge: "make a sandwich on bread." As opposed to a sandwich on rice? Some forgettable woman - if you want to use big words like unctuous, please use them correctly. Risqué is not the same as risky.

Frinangle? Ben, not a great idea to use big words if you don't know how to pronounce them.

In that they both have eggs? They are as different as fried eggs and cake.

Baker for the win. After any scene she's in I yell at my TV "Only three seconds? Really?" Can you imagine the awesomeness of a show with her and Garrett (and no moustaches)?

Please don't feel stupid - unless you've spent the last ten years cramming to be on Jeopardy.

You can let your cat know that Dunkirk is indeed in France.

Was anyone else bothered by Lakedra's pronunciation of B'nai B'rith? (Charitable organization.). She said B'neye not B'nay. I know their rulings are incredibly inconsistent, but that one really struck me.

I may well be remembering incorrectly, but didn't Mike go on a weird Tribal rant weeks ago about playing with integrity? If he did then he should have given the shell to Lauren. And if Lauren really wanted show solidarity with Mike, she should have given him the whole idol. I hate the Loved Ones episodes because I think it's downright cruel to not let everyone spend the afternoon with their loved ones, even if some don't get a food reward.

Or his glasses.

Episode one, I think during the quick fire.
