Wednesday Night Open Thread

America's Next Top Model has its tv finale tonight. The winner: Colorado's Nicole Fox, an 18 year old C.U. sophomore from Louisville, Colorado.

Congrats, Nicole. (She became my favorite weeks ago.) More on her here.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

    I don't get it, Kevin is my favorite, but they said his dish would have been disqualified for its simplicity and as well as the brother who had a bone in his fish (am I getting that rigth?).  Yet Kevin wins and the brother stays.  No one's protein was really cooked right, except the obnoxious brother I think---and it seems they all didn't have a great night...  

    I'm not unhappy with the final decision, but seemed like an off night for all the chefs...
