Strange week. Most of you probably already know that Sarah threw her back out on Monday, which has been much worse for her than it was for me. But still kind of scary to watch. Meanwhile work has been ridiculously busy, and my boss may have screwed us over with an important client. Again. Such is life!

Aaand I am still lazy let's do this again.

ANTM:

ikr! Even the antics aren't terribly anticsy! Though the fake makeover list was kind of hilar, idk idk.

I do have a big soft spot in my heart for Ann. Trolling whoever it was about her perfect guy-type? WIN.

The Betty thing bothered me until Dominique pointed out that since she's not with Don anymore, it's harder to include her so the snippets we see are, unfortunately, brief. But I do think she's supposed to be visibly unhappy and fraying at the edges and thus making a lot of poor decisions.

[synergic]

I think that's part of it, Betty's a favorite of mine and I'd definitely like to see more of her. But I also feel like when she is around she's being used as a foil for Don and Sallie, not as a character in her own right. MAYBE THAT IS UNFAIR OF ME?

I will say that her breakdown in the restaurant was a spot-on moment.

I LOVE TOP CHEF: JUST DESSERTS SO MUCH. From, like, an EVERYTHING IS FUCKING CRAZY perspective.

[synergic]

YEAH, I COULDN'T ACTUALLY RATE IT. Because there is that.

IT'S JUST TOO MAGICAL

I COULD TASTE THE TEQUILA IN EVERY BITE

Woah, I hope Sarah's okay.

[synergic]

She's doing better! Pell came over and helped out the first night, and got her on muscle relaxers, which I think was a big help ♥

[apology]

Glad to hear it♥

....you're too fast, I was going to change one of those helps to something else....

I agree utterly about Uraboku. The concept was okay, but the follow through was frankly boring. Nothing exciting, and I just don't like the main character so much. Even the demon guy's kinda been done, y'know? :/ I was disappointed.

[synergic]

Yeeeah. I don't mind retreading the same concepts if they're well done, but the pacing on Uraboku was just. awful. Which meant I spent a lot of time THINKING about how often these tropes had been done before. :x

[ehrenyu]

That is EXACTLY what happened. It got to be in the boring bits I started thinking too much and suddenly UGH. :/ -sigh-
