I prefer people who want to win for themselves. You don't have to represent all the time.

I find all of them to be creative and passionate. If Doug didn't like the ingredients, he should have spoken up right then.
There must have been some fruit in the quickfire garden. He could have made fruit with chocolate sauce or fruit dipped in chocolate. Anything but just put together two kinds of melted chocolate and throw in some mescal. That's the kind of creativity that gets you into the finale? It all gets factored in.

IKEA has a grocery section? The Internet is so educational.
I don't like marzipan so probably won't go check it out.

The Prince is an enlightened being: one of nature's gentlemen; a Fellowes Aristocrat, to borrow from Mark Twain. And his wife's now a nurse, like Isobel. Maybe he should reconsider Violet and take another look at her friend Mrs. Crawley.
God knows every other elderly aristo is!

I thought Simon was giving a tip to Carson for getting his luggage into the car. It appeared to be something Simon handed to Carson. Maybe it was an apology note for acting like an impulsive child.
Let's all hope that it was his confession to having pushed the rapist valet under the bus (of Justice). Having Cora reject him, and engaging in some vigorous wrestling with Donk, has finally opened his eyes to how badly he has behaved and he just has to get it all off his chest.
These things practically write themselves! :-)
It's getting so bad that we settle down on the couch wondering: "what else will go wrong in Lady Edith's life this time?"

I can sort of get why some folks haven't warmed up to Luis - the show often cuts away to him when he has a pinched expression - but I do think he's good at technical exposition and those design executions are lovely without being schmaltzy. I'm tickled that he designed his showstopper on one of my favorite places ever to photograph and I suspect he has a more jovial, fun personality than what we get to see on TV. Kate mentioned that he gives sheriff's badges to the different star bakers to wear, for example.
.....
Loved that Nancy called Paul Hollywood "that male judge." It may have just been a stressed-induced brain fart but it really made me laugh.
I like Luis! He's my favorite. He's just as humble as everyone else. This was the first time that his flavors weren't on.
I spotted Kate wearing the star in this episode, I assumed that it was from the show, so good on Luis.
Babka isn't supposed to be cooked in a tin, that's probably what did in Kate's signature bake.

I liked the episode - lots of pirating and not lots of talking strategy in Nassau. And Billy Bones!
The English captain seemed to know it was Flint's ship - he asked Dufresne "are you him?" So, the flag must be recognizable as Flint's flag, even when it's flying on a Spanish Man o'War. Which, in terms of fire power, is like bringing a tank to a joust.

My first thought when I saw the wedding "guests" was, guess their parents are all in prison. Definitely FAKE, FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!
It actually was Helen who made the comment about Dmitry making the same dress that the bride had worn when she met with them. It was Michelle who called his fabric "pretty" and then made puking faces.

For me, after watching Top Chef for years I knew that Doug was going to be in the finale just based on the make-up of the final 4. If push comes to shove and the dishes are pretty equal, Tom will pick the white guy over any other contestant (gender or race). It happens over and over again. So, I am preparing myself for a Doug win. Personally, I would have sent Gregory home. He fell apart towards the end of the season which was more egregious than Melissa coasting until the finale.
Also, not surprised that Doug got the easiest artist to work with. Always a thumb on the scale for the white guy on TC.
Well, to move Tom a little off the racist and misogynistic tower you've placed him on, for the winner of LCK he could only pick a white guy, because both of the contenders were white guys.
I think that Doug got the easiest artist as well. I think Gregory got the hardest one to communicate with since he seemed to speak the least English.
I would have sent Mei home. Her "interpretation" was lots of blank canvas and that was the opposite of her artist's style. She made her food like she always does. I bet it tastes great, but it didn't express the exuberance that you saw in the art. She could have layed it out like a mask at the very least.

One of the best things about Birdman is how it points out the craziness about comic book movies.
And if you really want to see Kevin Costner act, watch A Perfect World.

Dave/Leslie were awesome, that's not a UO.
My UO is that Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman are actors who cannot actually portray the emotion of anger. They both do it by putting on toddler angry faces and talking really loud. Which makes most of the last episode utterly unwatchable. Other than the saxophone fart, not something I'll ever want to see again.
My other UO is that Billy Eichner is one note and we've all heard it over and over again and it's time to make it stop.
My final UO is that the Councilman Jamm character is one of the worst ideas they've ever had on the show.

I don't mind the ending. It's not like there's a mystery to be solved (aka The Killing) - if they don't tell me what happens with Gal and King Dick, I can make it up myself. The lesson of Into the Woods is that there's not really any happy ever after.
I'm looking forward to personally busting out This is my Moment in the Sun whenever it seems appropriate.

I do love the joyous round of "Well done!" when the star baker is announced.
Nothing anybody made this episode looked good to me. Doesn't help that I hate pears. Who would want to eat a soft cooked pear with crunchy pie crust wound all around it?
Nobody baked a custard tart on a baking sheet? That's how you keep it from sloshing excessively.

Edited because "zauber" means wizard, whereas "sauber" means clean. :)
Zauber in German means magic. Like Die Zauberflote, the opera.
My concern with Wu in the trailer was condensation from his drink dripping onto the fragile elderly pages.
I thought the whole corridor walk and the trial were wildly cheesy, but I don't expect much else.

I am really surprised (don't know why anything on this show surprises me anymore!) the judges do not ever mention a designer using the same design they did in their regular season of PR. This happened most recently as last night with Helen and last week with Dmitry. Do the judges not even know what the designers created in their regular seasons? If not, why? If they do, why are they not asking the designers why they are repeating themselves?
They don't seem to notice people doing the same garment over and over on the current show either. Sonjia has done a lace or eyelet or cutout pencil skirt repeatedly. She's won with it twice.
I don't know why Michelle didn't do the exact same thing that nearly got her aufed in her original season: emerald green trousers with a fancy white T shirt. It was gorgeous but they'd been told specifically not to do pants and a T shirt.

Gregory gets major points over George in my book, just because he's been through so many more challenges. George got back after Restaurant Wars, right? So he missed something like 8 shows, each with 2 different challenges. To make the finale, he really needs to pull out a perfectly executed show stopper.
Melissa kind of phoned it in during the first half of the competition. Mei's been consistent all the way through. Gregory was brilliant in the first half, and has been levelling out since then, but not bottoming out. George was resting.
I hope Doug comes back from LCK. I haven't even watched it this season.

If there's going to be a drinking game, better include "a cool new ---". Tonight's episode was a cool new pendant light.

Martha used peanut butter! And Paul didn't seem concerned during the discussion of her concept. Does he only freak out about Americans using peanut butter?
The whole Baked Alaska thing was ill conceived. Why? #1=the stupid tent. If they were indoors, they could have decent freezers. #2=the producers. If the freezers die, bring in new ones. You're asking people to bake in a tent. #3=the timing. Let them have the ice cream set up over night. Split up the challenge, even if you have to pay overtime for the crew.

Dmitri's refusal to buy into Zanna's babbling was great.
I'm glad Justin is gone. I've always found him kind of a snooze, and I'm over his excessive displays of emotion.
Zanna is the senior fashion editor for Marie Claire. Isn't one of the prizes, a year working as a fashion editor at the magazine? (After they drone through them week after week, you'd think I'd have it memorized by now.) If so, the winner is probably going to be working closely wth, if not under, Zanna. What Dmitry is doing is make someone look bad who he may end up working for. At the least, she's not going to be rooting for him or doing him favors in the fashion world. And, she is in a position to do so.
Dmitry won the regular show and his career hasn't gone anywhere. Maybe he should try a different attitude towards those who might be able to help him.

"Are you going toddler on me?"
On Psych this was referred to as going boneless.

Every time I saw Michelle's model I thought, "Elephant Man in drag."
For an avant garde challenge, they awarded the least AG outfit (or at least tied with Sanjia's for the least AG).
Every time I saw Michelle's model I thought, "This wasn't the design-an-outfit-that-Alyssa-can-wear-right-now challenge."
Dmitry bugs me. It wasn't avant garde and it was a recycled idea.
Didn't Fabio use that color pink to mimic the color of the tube worms? Like, be true to your inspiration.

I read an interview with Mike Schur, who happens to be from a town I live near: West Hartford, Connecticut. He said that he modeled Eagleton after his hometown’s wealthy neighbor, a town called Simsbury. In the interview, he compared Pawnee to West Hartford, saying they both feel they are inferior to the other town. He mentioned that Pawnee and his hometown have a similar population of about 60,000 people. So I am guessing in his mind, Pawnee has always been a small city as opposed to a small town.
Well that may explain why he named the town Pawnee and then invented the Wamapoke Indians to live there. East Coasters.......

For me, the main basis was Dre trying to teach Junior a "cultural moment" (for a lack of a better term) which felt recycled from the pilot. Though I had to laugh that at the "white dance party" (damn you quotes!) they were playing Spin Doctors.
And playing croquet!
I did laugh out loud at "the news is already black!"

I loved the line dance at the end, esp when it was just Coach dancing.
It was the red track suit. Cracked me up too.
Didn't Nick call it his "word processor?" That's a description you don't hear anymore.....
S04.E12: Some Like It Hot
in Project Runway All Stars
I'm just hate watching to see the season out at this point. Seriously, Dmitri won? For that crappy thing? No one would ever wear that on a red carpet. It looks homemade and oatmeal won't photograph well. Wasn't Kate sent home for making a dress the exact same color as Helen's? In addition to Hilary Swank wearing it, I swear that I've seen Jennifer Lopez in Michelle's gown.
Why couldn't they just say, Sanjia, you were the only person to actually design something, Congratulations, you win the season by default! And everybody go home.
