The bottom half of Leanne's wedding dress really reminded me of a bulb of garlic. Somehow her model made it work though — the fabric was gorgeous against her complexion and the lanky frame and confident walk made me wonder why we don't see more lovely, garlicky wedding dresses in the world.

Love your face, hpnerd, but you're not exactly out there on a limb with your predictions. It's truly a testament to Suede's suedeness that he is still here, and the only upset really left is if Kenley is booted before he is. And if there is a God, that will happen next week.

The best time and place for a pickle is when you've got a dish of shaved ice with some steaming hot maple syrup drizzled on top.

If disgusting displays of food are your thing, check out BBC America's "You Are What You Eat." It airs right around dinner time. Steaming piles of shame and regret really stimulate the appetite.

stray observations about Chris
1. Is anybody else curious about his experiences crafting food into clothes? I know he comes from a costume design background, but last I checked, food generally doesn't come into play. I really want to see some of those creations.

Not quite forgotten…

An A+ in baby making 101
I somehow feel vindicated that I never let my kids watch Zoey 101, but I would love to see them write the pregnancy into the show. Did Dean Rivers finally give in to all his naughty, naughty urges?
