It came down to Tre and Tiffani in the final 2. After a last minute challenge of having to cook another dish (using leftovers from the other contestants)…Tiffani wins the big prize. She is the first female to win a Top Chef show.

And the Nominees are...

For the music fans out there, the GRAMMY 2008 Nominees have been officially announced. I just took a quick glance at the list, but expect to get tired of hearing Amy Winehouse being nominated. In quantity Rihanna doesn't seem to show up as much but she is nominated for the big awards such as Song of the Year & Record of the Year. Alt-Emo kids will be excited to see Chicago natives- The Plain White Tees- are up for Song of the Year for "Hey There Delilah." Alicia Keys' fans will be glad to see she made the cut off in time for at least one nomination. Kanye is nominated for Album of the Year, and appears in pretty much all the Rap categories- in fact, twice for Rap Song of the Year. Personally, I am excited for Feist being nominated for Best New Artist and Best Female Vocal. Many know her songs/videos from the iPod nano or Verizon Wireless commercials ("1234" and "My Moon My Man", respectively), but if you're smart you would YouTube her videos. She found good directors to compliment her own quirkiness.

The GRAMMY Award show will air Sunday Feb, 10 on CBS at 8 pm ET/PT. Click

Make It Work!

Since, Jake won last time he got to pick a new model. Jake decides to take Ricky’s model. I know that was coming…that girl can walk!! For their challenge they each had to pick a fashion DON’T and transform it into a fashion DO. The twist…they have to do it in teams of 3. Each group has to use all 3 looks to make a collection that works together. Someone has to be the team leader…I wouldn’t want to be the leader on this one. All the groups have a hard time working together. Ricky & Victorya butt heads the whole time. She didn’t want the responsibility of being the team leader but kept hindering Ricky from doing the job. Jillian is having a hard time managing Kevin’s work. But Kevin gets his outfit together and pulls it off.

During the runway show, the judges (guest judge - Donna Karen) announce the winning team of Jillian, Rami and Kevin. Chris and Ricky’s teams are in the bottom. Of course, Victorya takes credit for leading the team…but it just made her look stupid. In the end, Chris is sent home because his outfit was old fashioned and the overall collection didn’t work. I hope Ricky can pull it together soon…I don’t want to see him go home.

GOD don't like ugly...even if you're a model

Only 4 girls left, they arrive in Beijing. The model’s first challenge is to modernize a traditional Chinese dress. They are set loose in the mall to purchase items for the runway show. Bianca heads across the street to see what was available…just to find out it was more of the same. On her way back, she tells Jenah that she should go across the street because there is so much stuff (well it is a competition...but GOD don't like ugly). Of course she gets lost, finds nothing and is mad. Jenah ends up winning the challenge and picks Chantal to go with her. Someone should have been nicer during the challenge. They each got a dress made for them but Jenah gets a private runway lesson with Ms. J. I want private lessons Ms. J...hook me up!!! Jenah is breaking down at a time when she needs to be focused on the competition. The girls do their photo shoot at the Great Wall with Tyra as the photographer.

The eliminations this week are judged on their individual photo and a group photo. Chantal stands out the most in the group photo…so she receives her individual photo and the only group photo. Bianca and Jenah are in the bottom two. Bianca is sent home this week. Well…early reports from MediaTakeout.com said she didn't win. Maybe we will see Bianca one day on BET’s Spring Bling fashion show. Hey...it's work!

It’s A Hair Thang

Pepa wants to start a line of hair weave. Salt isn’t feeling it but is open to hearing other ideas. Their manager sets up a meeting with people that have ideas for Salt and Pepa to endorse. None of the ideas sound like a winner. Pepa talks Salt into going to a store to look at some wigs and weaves. After the store, they head to the hair salon and Pepa talks Salt into getting her hair done. Salt goes home to mixed reviews on the new look. While she is trying to get use to the hair (basically it’s getting in the way - in her coffee and the car door)…Pepa is moving forward with the project. During their next meeting…their manager brings the images and packaging for the hair line. Salt isn’t happy that Pepa moved forward without her…but agrees to do the hair line.

Funny…no song this week...unless you count Salt doing Tina Turner.

Hey...That's My Tila

The final 3 arrive in Mexico to be with Tila. The first group date was swimming with dolphins. Amanda lost her bottoms in the pool…maybe that’s why she got the first one on one date. Amanda made sure to tell Tila what she thought of the other two. The next day, Tila and Amanda show up for breakfast after the over night date. Bobby was upset at breakfast and got into it with Tila. For the next group date, they have to go down a zip line. Of course, Dani went down first…well she is a firefighter. Amanda spent most of her time crying…but she made it down. Bobby said he was afraid of heights but had no problems…probably didn’t want to look stupid. The one on one date went to Bobby and the girls went shopping. Tila tells Bobby she wants to teach him…like he’s a kid in a toy store. Another tension filled breakfast after Bobby’s individual date. The final group date was at the hotel pool. Amanda tells Tila what she thinks about Dani. During Dani’s one on one date, Tila asks what she thinks of Amanda & Bobby. Back at the hotel, Amanda and Bobby play dress up…Bobby in a dress and heels (very entertaining). When Dani gives her toast…Tila starts crying. A lot of loving for Tila that night!! They all had another uncomfortable breakfast…this time in bed.

Back to the house for elimination…Tila chooses to send Amanda home. During the Hangover Show, they asked Amanda who she would choose. She said Dani. Then they asked who she thought Tila would choose she said Bobby. I think Tila will pick Bobby, but I hope Dani wins.

Next week – It’s a Recap Show…yeah I thought we were already getting that with the Hangover Show after every show…in 2 weeks the season finale. And if you haven’t been to MTV’s website they are casting for next season…YES…next season.

The NUT doesn't fall far from the tree

Before the latest episode aired, I was talking to friend and was trying to remember who was left on the show. I kept repeating Punk, Buddha and Tailor Made. I couldn’t remember who the other person was. Well the other person was The Entertainer. Hummmm....Guess who went home this week?

The guys were asked to clean the house because their parents were coming. Tailor Made’s dad (very charming...so that's were he gets it), Punk’s mom & sister, Buddha’s dad (good looking...so that's where he gets it) and The Entertainer’s mom & dad came to the house. New York takes out The Entertainer’s family & Punk’s family for dinner. It didn’t take long for The Entertainer’s mom and Sister Patterson to start arguing at the table. New York and Sister Patterson walk out of the restaurant. The Entertainer tries to talk to them outside but they send him back in to talk to his parents. Once New York and her mom come back inside…Sister Patterson starts telling The Entertainer’s dad that he is handsome (he's a good looking man)…which turns into another argument between the moms. The funniest part is when The Entertainer’s mom called Sister Patterson a transvestite. Punk’s family didn’t a word in during the dinner…probably a good thing because his mom doesn’t want him to be there anyway. The next day, New York had a pool party for Tailor Made’s family & Buddha’s family. Sister Patterson gives Buddha’s dad an ear full of how Buddha beat up Tailor Made…had him bleeding in the house. Buddha overhears the conversation and says she is telling a lie. New York tells Buddha that her mom is right even when she is wrong. HUH??? OK??? That night New York cooks dinner for all the families. Personally, I wouldn’t have eaten anything she cooked. Especially after seeing her drop meat on the floor and put it in the pot...I hope they didn’t feed that to anyone.

At dinner, New York asks about The Entertainer’s home life. His parents made it sound like they take care of him completely. He tried to lessen the blow by saying he helps out around the house. Well…at least he tried. I don’t think he’s that bad…maybe a sexual deviant but a good person inside. At elimination someone had to go home…this week it was The Entertainer (surprise). Before New York sends him home she lets him know he is a LOSER. I felt bad. Entertainer...Do your thing! But first, move out of your parent’s house. You’re a great guy but no one can see past you living with your parents.

Next week – The remaining 3 guys take a trip with their lady love to Miami. Yeah…Miami...I guess the budget got cut this time around.


Heroes die & Revive more than Stephano

This week was the oh so early season finale of "Heroes" and people seemed to die left and right. A revived Bennett made a deal with Bob to protect his family, which again makes him property of the company. Sylar shot Maya in the chest and made Mohinder test his vaccine on her. Unfortunately it worked. Maya now knows Sylar is evil, but he had already escaped Elle's one-armed attack. Nikki and son go to save black girl. Unfortunately Nikki did not have her powers. So when the good ol' burning plank blocked the path out of the burning building, she only had enough strength to free the black girl. Down in Texas, Hiro teleported circles around Peter, only to be done in by an electric current through the metal sword. Peter still don't understand Adam is crazy.

Meanwhile Nathan and Matt the cop team fly down to Odessa after getting Petrelli Mama out of jail. Adam and Peter slash their ways to the vault, only to have Hiro and Matt show up. Matt's grown abilities didn't affect Peter, but apparently listen
ing to his brother did. During their touching reunion, Hiro grabs and teleports Adam away without knowing he dropped the virus a split second before he did so. Peter races the clock and catches the vial before it broke. Then he uses his radiation/atomic bomb ability to destroy the virus. Nathan calls for a press conference and (like his daughter) planned to expose his ability to the world. However he got shot almost half the times of 50 Cent by who? Petrelli Mama!? Not sure she actually pulled the trigger, but she talked to some mystery person on the phone and apparently "[person on phone] just opened Pandora's Box." That's twisted! His own mother went Suge Knight on his ass. Now that Micah lost both his parents, he better pull a Batman and become a certified bad-ass.

Star's Judging the Runway

Episode 2 - The challenge is to create a 2 piece look for Sarah Jessica Parker’s clothing line Bitten. The outfit has to retail for less then $40.00 and they have a budget $15.00. Each designer presents their sketch to Sarah. She picked 7 designs…which mean its time to team up. Elise (the crazy one) spit marks her fabric and hand stitches everything (So you know her partner was freaked out). I wouldn't want clothes that were spit marked. The winner was Victorya and the outfit will be for sell at Steve & Barry’s. Marion is the one that is out. His dress looked like a Pocahontas costume.

Episode 3 - The next challenge is to design an outfit for Tiki Barber to wear on the Today Show. Most of the designers are having a hard time because its Men’s Wear. Jake takes his shorts off, rips them apart and uses them as a pattern. A couple of the other designers ask if they can use them as well. So you know people were a little upset. But he did ask Tim if he could use what he was wearing. Everyone is stressed out about the time….then the male models arrive. Happy times for the ladies and some of the guys.

After the models leave some of the designers have to start over. Tim comes in with Ginny Barber (Tiki’s wife) to critic their work. A lot of the designers have to rethink their direction. The winner of the challenge was Jack. Good thing he only made 2 pieces. Carmen is the one going home this time (her model was topless…good thing it was a guy). I was hoping she would stay around longer…to truly see her style. Can't wait to see who else will be judging the runway.
