Dear Jenny,
What did you watch last night's Top Chef? I did, in the middle of the night somewhere, after The O.C. (about which more later), Lost and Jericho. (Jeez. No wonder I never get anything else done.) What were your favorite parts? Mine was the girls at Camp Glucose (!) wanting to marry Sam, the "hot diabetic." I also really enjoyed Michael's crappy amuse bouche. Do you think a Cheeto stubbed out in a smashed up Snickers would be tasty? It sure didn't look very appetizing.
I'm not sure what to say about the final 10 minutes, in which the week's judging devolved into a cross between The Crucible and the Cultural Revolution, only with Splenda. On one level it was amusing, particularly because I can't stand Betty, at all. On another, though, it reminded me of how much I prefer Project Runway, where you don't usually see those sorts of antics -- at least not on screen -- and when you do, Tim Gunn cleans them up efficiently.
What do you think? Would the Salem Witch Hunt have occurred had Splenda been invented 300 years ago? Would it have been worse, better or about the same?
Love,
-- Pete
