         <title>Who Needs Tomorrow?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>When you’ve got Today!  Okay, seriously, we never wake up that early, but we’re stoked for Ariane to win this one and to get some much needed confidence and positivity.  She’s kind of scrappy, and boo to anyone who says she did something too easy, we say she did something smart and some other people overestimated their abilities.  But, as usual, we’re getting ahead of ourselves, let’s go back to the beginning.    </p>

<p><img alt="todaytccast.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/todaytccast.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>Alex reads a letter that Richard left behind to Jamie and Carla and they all cry.  Geeze, everyone is seriously emotional this season.  </p>

<p>Jamie’s the last remaining member of Team Rainbow and she’s fine with that.  To be honest, we’re fine with that too.  The smore was ridiculous.  Not that we don’t wish there were more gays around for longer.  We do, but we also want them to be smooth-cookin’ gays. </p>

<p>Rocco diSpirito is not a real Italian but close, according to Fabio.  </p>

<p>When we realize it’s a breakfast challenge, we’re stoked, because we love breakfast a lot.  What?!  Jamie says she doesn’t like breakfast.  Seriously, girl, try to stay in our good graces.</p>

<p><img alt="breakfast.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/breakfast.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>So the Quickfire is a breakfast amuse bouche and Rocco says use bacon, please.<br />

         <title>Daniel Radcliffe on Being Naked</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Remember when your favorite boy wizard was on Inside the Actor's Studio?  And he talked about being naked on stage?  Oh you didn't see it?  Your welcome.  </p>

         <title>One Gay Left</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Team Rainbow's not a team anymore, it's just a lone, San Francisco lesbian.  Ah well.  It was fun while it lasted. Let's start this Foo foodie episode from the beginning.</p>

<p>Jeff is nicknamed Don Johnson by Richard.  Also Richard thinks Leah has a nice rack.  Is that appropriate because he's gay?  He really reminds us of some skeezy gay guys we have known.  </p>

<p>Melissa’s bangs are so weird.  Grant Achatz – molecular gastronomist shows up to school them in the Quickfire.</p>

<p>Padma thinks a chef needs to learn how to roll with the punches.</p>

<p>They have to remake a Top Chef Cookbook recipe for the Quickfire.  Then half way through Padma comes in and yells stop – we want soup instead.  Ha, ha, that's a good one.</p>

<p>Carla feels like MacGuyver when it comes to soup.  Jaime could make soup everyday for the rest of her life.  <br />

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Here's what some of your favorite Top Chefs (i.e. Stephanie, Richard, Dale, LeAnne) are doing for Thanksgiving.</p>

         <title>Jill Fell Down</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode was one of those ones where you think, oh geeze, these people suck.  Was it the pressure of cooking for their harshest critics?  Or at Tom’s restaurant?  The hot dog quickfire was more inspiring than the elimination.  But let’s go back to the beginning.</p>

<p><img alt="chefsreservoir.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/chefsreservoir.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>Richard is sad about the breakup of Team Rainbow.  We should be too, but we’re glad that Team Rainbow now consists of two experienced chefs.  In fact, Jaime kicked ass this week.  </p>

<p>Fabio thinks this is a game of Super Mario Brothers – he’s going to take home the princess.  Ummm…</p>

<p>The Quickfire – a dish that New Yorkers spend over a hundred million dollars a year consuming.  Our first two guesses were bagels and pizza, but no, it’s hot dogs!  </p>

<p><img alt="hotdog.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/hotdog.jpg" width="240" height="320" /></p>

<p>Both Euros are doing panini dogs. We’ve always thought of panini’s as faux-European café food.  <br />

         <title>One Gay Down</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Yeah yeah yeah, we’re so excited!  And what a powerhouse premier episode this was.  They seriously tossed these chefs directly into the fire with that Quickfire.  And the elimination was  a great idea – but how ridiculous that some chefs were unfamiliar with cuisines like Italian or Chinese.  Anyhow, let’s start from the beginning and get to know some of these many, many chefs.  </p>

<p>Carla’s so tall with eyes that are always wide open.  She’s kinda weird, hence we automatically like her.</p>

<p><img alt="carla320x400.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/carla320x400.jpg" width="320" height="400" /></p>

<p>Richard’s inner queen wants to know what Padma is wearing!  So he’s kind of bearish on the outside, queeny on the inside.  </p>

<p>The Quickfire will also be an elimination!  OMG!  Just kidding we already knew that because of the preview.  But it’s still totally intense.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>Top Chef New York Preview</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="topchefcast.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/topchefcast.jpg" width="320" height="240" align="left" />Top Chef New York starts tomorrow at 10/9 central!  This is the fifth season of awesome cooking drama and we’re stoked!  Will the contestants be as captivating/irritating as last season?  Well you can get a sneak peek of the chefs <a href="http://www.bravotv.com/Top_Chef/season/5/best_of/index.php">here.</a>  You know Bravo also hooks you up with recipes, quizzes and all that other paraphernalia.  Speaking of extras, this season there’s also a game you can play as you watch.  Think of it as fantasy football for foodies.  Learn more and sign up<a href="http://games.bravotv.com/topchef"> here.</a>  </p>

<p>Okay, with all that business out of the way, let’s get down to our real interests.  Who are we into so far?  We’re totally riding blind with these judgments.  We just watched their 60 second bios and made up our minds based solely on that.  Of course, we reserve the right to change our minds later, but it will be interesting to see who lives up to our expectations.  <br />

         <title>The Final Showdown</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This was totally our favorite episode of the whole season.  Everyone did some amazing and cool things.  And although Eddie was around, he took up slightly less airtime.  Also we always love an episode where they show funny kid pictures of the contestants.  Those ones of Ondine looking all Madonna were awesome! </p>

<p><img alt="finalthree.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/finalthree.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>The beginning of the episode has Nathan and Preston both without shirts on.  They should have used those shots in the previews.  Oh wait, maybe they did.  Then they're all running around shopping and taking naps in the car in between stores.  Poor, tired bunnies.  </p>

<p>Nathan buys a sarcophagus-like trunk.  Ondine is much more organized in her shopping and we're proud of her for that.  Preston looks good in those aviators.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>Remember Big Daddy?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>While we're working on our recap/last hoorah for Top Design, we just wanted to take a moment to remember Kerry aka Big Daddy.  Because even though he didn't make it very far, he was still our fave.  You want to know why?  Watch this sweet video.  </p>

         <title>Ding Dong, Eddy&apos;s Dead</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>We never thought we’d thank Jeff Lewis for anything, but here goes:  Thank you Jeff Lewis!  Voting Eddy off Top Design was the nicest thing you could have done for us in a million years!</p>

<p>Are you guys sad that Eddy-weddy had to go home on his birfday?  We are definitively not sad about it.  Sure, we’ll even grudgingly admit he had some talent.  But who cares?  He was irritating to the max.  Let’s start back at the beginning.  </p>

<p>It’s Eddy’s birthday.  Preston’s not one of the three bananas or whatever.  </p>

<p><img alt="eddyandnathan.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/eddyandnathan.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>Their challenge is to design one room in a townhouse.  They get to do the rest of the three bedroom house if they make it to the final.  $85,000 budget for the whole house, 20,000 for the first room.  Geeze Louise.  </p>

         <title>Andrea&apos;s Light Goes Out</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This week we get to see the extent of Andrea's serious confidence problem.  Yo, Andrea, buck up.  You're all right.  Also this week, Eddy continues to wow us with his irritating arrogance.  Will it ever end? Let's start from the beginning.  </p>

<p><img alt="tdjudging.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/tdjudging.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>Andrea gets flowers and  a poem from Ricky Schroeder.   She is quite homesick.  </p>

<p>We’re glad Ondine is still in it.  She just seems cool.</p>

<p>If we hear Eddy talk about how he knows everything because he works at Martha Stewart one more time…  </p>

<p>A Pop Design is thrown at them.  And it seems really easy.  And sort of boring.  </p>

         <title>Future Sex/Love/Interior Decorating</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>First there was that apocalyptic bunker challenge and now this.  We like whoever’s coming up with these ideas.  Of course some designers came up with better ideas than others.  Let’s recap.  Or precap, since it’s the future.  </p>

<p>Nathan’s sad that Wisit left.  We are too.  We already miss that little guy.  Who will sing arias for us now?</p>

<p>Just six designers left.  The challenge is to design for the year 2108 – the room of the future in raw three wall spaces.  They get carpenters, $7000 and two and a half days.  Oh what we could do with $7000. </p>

<p>Lobby for the golden clone is Eddy’s idea.  “Two people can be beautiful and make a really busted baby.”  Oh geeze.  We’re into the idea of cloning, but Eddy continues to give us the heebeegeebees.  </p>

<p>Andrea’s idea is pod housing in pink.  Hmmm.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Gang Green</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This is a sad episode, because Wisit goes home and we’re just sick about it.  Plus Eddie wins and he continues to annoy the heck out of us.  But let’s start with a play by play.</p>

<p>Eddie is so annoyed that Nathan won again.  But he’s already so successful, that he doesn’t really care.  So why are you here Eddie, if you just want to work for Martha forever?  </p>

<p>Wisit blow dries his hair.  He’s so cute.</p>

<p>Andrea Shroeder doesn’t have a lot of confidence.  Buck up, Drea.</p>

<p>The challenge to create eco-friendly offices for clients.  They are supposed to pay special attention to think of ways to reduce, reuse, recycle, repair etc.  </p>

<p>Eddie’s complaining of course – everything’s disgusting and he calls his client a dork.  What a blankity blank he is.  </p>]]></description>

         <title>Nathan Never Thought He&apos;d Win A Triathlon</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode we get to see a grueling triathlon of design.  Who knew such thing existed?  Instead of going leg by leg, let’s compile each person’s performance in all three events into one summary and get down to the nitty gritty of who sucks and who doesn’t.  </p>

<p><img alt="nathanrepose.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/nathanrepose.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>But first…What is Kelly wearing?  Those sleeves and that hat are a bit much.</p>

<p>Eddy – Chair leg – yellow and silver, we thought blech.  But the judges liked it and he wound up in the top two.  Table leg - Okay it’s cool, even though he rubs us the wrong way.  Judges loved it and called it their favorite word “chic.”   Photo shoot leg – “I just want to do pretty,” he said. We were bored and so were the judges, they called it “granny.”  Overall he was in the top.  Sadly, he’ll probably be sticking around for a while and annoying us.<br />

         <title>Designing for Dudes</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This episode is good for several reasons.  Jeff Lewis is a guest judge with some snarky comments.  Shazia finally goes home.  They get tons of money and help to do their spaces.  Eddy makes a few idiotic comments.  But best of all, Wisit talks about his inner masculinity. Hee hee.  </p>

<p><img alt="wisitvacuums.jpg" src="http://blogs.outzonetv.com/onourgaydar/wisitvacuums.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></p>

<p>Wisit feels awful about Kerry’s elimination and thinks Shazia should have gone home instead.  We agree on both counts. Everybody misses Big Daddy.</p>

<p>The challenge is to redesign bachelor pads in teams of three.  They get $10,000 and will be doing lots of shopping.  They’ll also get the services of painters, wallpaper hangers, seamstresses and carpenters.  </p>

<p>Nathan’s going to flirt with the bachelor if he’s hot.  Good idea.  </p>

<p>Eddy, Natalie and Ondine get James the law student and decide to make him a design that is “pantry dropping chic.”  They must repeat that phrase twenty times through this episode and it starts to get very annoying. </p>

<p>Nathan, Shazia and Preston get Eddy who has a million pairs of shoes and wants something simple, classic and conservative.</p>

<p>Andrea, Wisit and Theresa get Obi, a web producer who wants a modern feng shui  look.  They go with the term “masculine zen.”</p>]]></description>
