When we last saw our Final 3 - Althea, Carol Hannah, and Irina - Carol Hannah was puking her guts out, and the other two designers were at least sympathetic to her plight. That really does suck for CH, to be this close to living a dream and to spend

Laura vs. Nicole: our Final 2! I'm so glad, they were my favorites throughout the season, although for very different reasons. Nicole has been an amazing model, killing almost every photo shoot and doing surprisingly well on the Cover Girl commercial. Laura was consistently pretty and fun and cute, and

Finally! I'd been waiting for last night's episode for literally tens of days, ever since the news broke that Heather Locklear was joining the cast of the CW's new version of "Melrose Place," reprising the role of ball-busting bitch Amanda Woodward, the lead character on the original version

It's the finale, Part 1. Ugh. Just Part 1. I kind of need this show to be over now. We have our second consecutive all-girl Final 3: Althea, Carol Hannah, and Irina. They got $9000 and several months to design a 12-piece collection for Bryant Park. Tim would be checking

Erin realized that she was still in the competition by the grace of god - that god being Tyra, goddess of fierce - since she's been in the Bottom 2 three times in a row and somehow survived. That never happens. Meanwhile, Nicole has had such a positive experience in

Last week: Team Poker totally pussed out, quitting in the middle of the fields of the Netherlands because they couldn't play golf and they couldn't ring a bell. Weakness. Sam and Dan left first, and had to fly to Stockholm, Sweden, where they had to travel by train and ferry

The previouslies underscored the rivalry between Althea and Irina, specifically Irina's allegations that Althea ripped off Irina's Aspen look for her winning garment last round. Irina explained her blatant bitchitude: she prefers to tell people what she thinks to their faces, rather than behind their backs. I suspect she hasn't

Jennifer opened the show by saying that she couldn't believe she's part of the Final 5. You and me both, sweetie. I like Jennifer. She seems sweet. But a model? Not really. Her facial distortions in her photos are not appealing, and she almost always has her mouth gaping like

We were down to the Top 18 dancers, and none of us have yet to vote. God, I hate that. The show clearly does too, since Cat made a crack at the World Series, which is currently keeping the show down to one episode per week. (As an aside, since

After the last leg Meghan and Cheyne had a nearly two-hour lead on the other teams, although that was quickly obliterated by a massive bunching at the airport since the first flight to their next location - Amsterdam - didn't leave for nearly 12 hours. While the teams were all

It's the Final 6, and somehow Christopher and Logan were STILL HERE. How did that HAPPEN? Have we had two poorer designers ever get this far in the competition? Maybe one chucker per season, but we have TWO in this bunch. The general consensus of all the designers left was

Jennifer continued beating herself up over bombing in Restaurant Wars. That isn't good, I could practically feel her imploding through the screen. Meanwhile, Robin continued her self-delusion streak by arguing that she still deserves to be in the competition at this point. She does not. Guest judge: Paul Bartilota, a noted

The girls came back from the last elimination to find that their house was condemned. The models have been nasty in seasons past, but these girls were apparently full-on swine. Tyra picked on them for leaving leftover eggs on the stove, and for having piles and piles of clothes all

What a difference a night makes. Monday night Cat looked incredible; tonight she looked a little rough. The lipstick: oh honey, no. That fire-engine red looks ghastly on your pasty flesh. She reiterated that due to the baseball playoffs, the judges would decide one guy and one girl to send

For our first studio show of the season Cat Deeley came out looking SPECTACULAR. Hair, make-up, dress, it was all working. I just love her. She introduced the judges, including Adam Shankman as the new permanent third judge. I'm mixed on that. On the one hand, I like Adam -

I wasn't even planning to blog last night's episode of "The Amazing Race." Firstly, I assumed it would be a non-elimination leg, since we haven't had one of those since the premiere. And secondly, there's so much going on this week in TV land that I wanted the night off.

We were down to seven designers. Doesn't it seem like ages ago since Ari and Malvin went home? Nicolas interviewed that he has to assert his point of view and focus on the finals, because right now it's "me me me." When is it ever NOT about Nicolas, do you

Following Nicole's winning sweep last episode, coming in first on both go-sees and the photo shoot, Erin made some nasty remarks about Nicole's personality, claiming that our favorite bloody eyeball sufferer has interpersonal issues. Erin argued that she has a much more identifiable personality for young women. If they're wannabe

Guest Judge: Rich Moonen, who is a champion of conscientious cooking. The Quickfire: the first-ever Top Chef Tag-Team Cook-Off. Knives were drawn, and nothing was on them, until it got to Jennifer, who got one with the words "first choice," and Michael, who got "second choice." Jennifer went with Kevin,

Full disclosure: I skipped 80 percent of the audition episodes this season. I think it was a combination of burnout from S5 having just wrapped, and having too much other stuff to watch (it's on versus "Top Model"; that's like the ultimate Sophie's choice for me). Anyway, I did catch
