Boosting this from Penknife ...

... because let's face it. It being summer, the fannishness has fallen by the wayside, and I hate that.

So, I want to talk about fannish things in this space again. Badly.

Comment here with a fannish topic or question, and I will talk about it. You know my fandoms -- Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Ugly Betty, The Office, Project Runway, Top Chef, America's Got Talent (yes, I KNOW), Heroes, Dexter, X-Men movieverse and anything else you know I've written fic for.

Anything. I will talk about anything as long as it is fannish and not about this LJ mess. (And if you say "chan," I will thwap you.)

Ok, Top Chef. Were we not at all surprised to see that the cheftestants didn't really get to go clubbing? (I wasn't. Didn't Jeffrey say something on PR about how he knew it wasn't going to be a real party because it's never really a party?)

And, on another point, was Ted Allen right to apologize in his blog for saying that Sara and Casey were bitching about nothing for having to cook in high heels.

(For me, the top wouldn't have bothered me as much as the heels. Dancing is one thing, because you can always take a break, but I would hate to have to manoeuvre around a tiny kitchen in clubbing heels. Also, I wanted to smack all the blog commenters who suggested just taking the shoes off. Um, that's generally not a good idea in a place where people are moving around quickly, brandishing knives and heavy things and frying stuff that will splatter grease.)

Someone else said that Hung is this year's Marcel. Y/N?

And how adorable and dorky is CJ?

1. God, no, definitely not surprised. And if any of them hadn't been living under a rock the past decade, they shouldn't have, either. I mean, REALLY.

2. I think he was right to apologize for what he said about their complaints. They were really whiny about the whole thing, but it wasn't like they didn't have a point. Would it have been THAT difficult for the show to let them change shoes or allow them their coats? I mean, putting aside the psychological aspect of springing it on them like that, it's unsanitary, provides undue discomfort that -- let's face it -- none of the guys had to suffer through, and like you said, isn't something that they can just slip out of like Tre with whatever shirt he was wearing before he "changed" into a wifebeater. I liked that challenge, but not the surprise aspect of it.

3. Oh, hell, no. Marcel was last year's Stephen, if Stephen had been surrounded by bullying idiots. Hung is this year's Ilan, if Ilan hadn't had Marcel to direct his self-centered snotty superiority towards.

4. OMG SO ADORABLE. Words cannot describe how hot I find that man. I think Tre's hot, too, but CJ is more cute and he's definitely more funny. I want him and his fake testicle to come over to my house so that I can do very naughty things to him. (Or maybe we should go to his house where there's actually a bed that will fit him. ;))

1. Seriously. I was like "Clearly none of you have ever watched a Bravo reality show before. I still think the first challenge of PR Season 2 was the meanest, though, because I would have hated to destroy my clothes.

3. Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt. Hung is cocky, which yeah, Marcel was, but Marcel was totally not as assholish. And Hung doesn't rap, which clearly loses him like 100 of the points I gave Marcel for hilarity. And WTF, who runs with a GIANT KNIFE?

4. Tre is pretty good looking. And I cracked the hell up when he was joking about his guns during the last challenge. But CJ is totally my favorite. I wanted him to explain to Colicchio that he was outside because he couldn't fit in the catering truck. Because I really don't think he fit in there too well. Awww.

3. Oh, Hung runs with a giant knife, because he's too freaking stupid to notice that every time he moves faster than STANDING, he drops something, knocks something over, breaks something, or crashes into something.

4. Well, I think he could have think if they'd rolled him in lying down through the front window. ;)

Hung was 100% right when he described himself as a Certified Professional Asshole, but I don't know why he thinks that's something to be proud of.

I also meant to comment on your other Top Chef post, because I do think Keckler was totally right about Howie. He talks a lot, but the only thing he's really good at is throwing people under the bus to save his own ass. Ok, and he makes some decent dishes. But the sweat. OMG EW the sweat.

Heee, that should be in the extras. I really would watch a whole episode of just CJ being adorable. I really hope he and Tre make it to the finals.
