Project Runway 2/28/13--"Senior Fling" summary

Previously on Project Runway: Everyone was divided into teams of two and then tasked to make either a performance outfit or a red carpet look for Miranda Lambert. But they never talked to her, which was weird. Richard made a good performance outfit, which was kind of edgy but at least it was interesting. Matt completely bombed and made something boring so he was eliminated. Even with the pairings there wasn’t very much drama since the only collaboration that had to happen was each pair agreeing on who was doing the performance look and who was making the red carpet look.

"The Book of Mormon" review

Kmanpat and I have a theory that if you write a satirical religious musical, it should contain a song called "I Believe" which will be a big power ballad sung by the main character in Act II. If we were going to write a show like that, it would totally have that song in it. Really we thought that song would be in every musical that had anything to do with religion but when I actually, you know, looked into it? Not the case. (click for more)

Top Chef 2/27/13--"Finale Part 2" summary

Previously on “Top Chef”: Kristen won Last Chance Kitchen, and returned to compete against Brooke and Sheldon in the first part of the finale. Each chef had to make an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert, to be served in Tom’s restaurant. Brooke didn’t know what she was doing for a very long time, but still managed to impress everyone. Kristen also did a great job. Sadly, Sheldon tried to show the judges he’d grown and changed, and didn’t make the fantastic Filipino food that got him to the finale in the first place. So he was eliminated, leaving us with an all-girl finale. (click for more)

Project Runway 2/21/13--"A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'N Roll" summary

Previously on Project Runway: We recycled some more challenges, and had everyone make collections with materials from the hardware store and also a flower shop. They didn’t have to mix the two, so there were a lot of dresses made mostly of flowers. And then they ACTUALLY gave them two days to make their outfits. I know! The Dream Team finally won, but it’s too bad for Michelle, who was traded to the other team and therefore has never won anything. Samantha used some silver mesh and put leaves and flowers inside it, so she was given the win. Team KIR produced Patricia’s mess of strings of flower fringe, but that was good apparently, and also Amanda’s totally fine sheath dress with keys and moss. Amanda had too much drama for everyone, and they tried to throw her under the bus, but in the end Joe and his boxy sweater dress was sent home. I mean clearly because he was kind of weird, and this way Amanda can hate her whole team. Then Tim said they have business to deal with. Or something. (click for more)

Top Chef 2/20/13--"Finale Part 1" summary

Previously on “Top Chef”: The final three cooked for some dogsledders. Josh made breakfast again, but lost out to Brooke. The Elimination challenge was to make a dish that represented the moment they knew they wanted to be a chef. Brooke briefly freaked out because she’s wanted to be a chef for her entire life, but then she made chicken and quail and impressed everyone and won this challenge. Sheldon made his broth too salty, which almost doomed him, but then Josh tried to make a three-day dish in four hours and it failed. So Josh was sent home. (click for more)

TAR22, Recap Leg 1, 2/17/13

Welcome to Leg 1! We’re back to TAR after a hiatus, and it couldn’t come soon enough.  This time, we are traveling through Los Angeles.  For goodness sake, I know that LAX is a hub, but can we PLEASE start in a different city?  We only get to see the United States twice a season, since we (thankfully) do not do Family Edition anymore.  This time, teams are running up to the Griffith Observatory.  (Toyouke: " Oo, OBSERVATORY. You know what? I think that observatory is the one the Paula Abdul video for "Rush Rush". The one with Keanu in it.")  The eleven teams are: (click for more)
