... the other Black experience
Work of Art
Prodouced by SJP a Bravo show goes out to find artist to compete.
The prize is a show at the Brooklyn Museum.
The breakout for me is this Brotha named Abdi, he's kind of a nerdy dude, but his work is awesome.

OMG I know what the fuck with the new judge. And all the other judges looked over to her like 'shut the hell up this is a family situation.' Yeah Kenny did know they would be gunning for him regardless of how good his stuff was. I was happy for Kevin but you are right, why all of a sudden out of the blue does he win something? Tamesha was silly to get off her game with the flirting and whatnot. She wasn't seeing that as a tactic, but it most certianly was one. Im interested in the pea puree stealing that may be going on next week. LOL
I wanna go see him, but I have to get some cash.

Get your backside to thee.
Yeah, you got me exactly. I was yelling at the tv screen the whole time.
No joke.
He saw that shit coming, even Colichio (that judge), but they wanted to front like it wasn't pre-meditated.
That was some bullshit. It was sooo suspect they all nominated that Puerto-Rican guy to win, despite the fact that he's never won ANY quickfire, and he's consistantly had the WORST dishes. Matter of fact, he's been close to going home several times.
Home-girl that got elimated (I think her name was Tamesha) got sonned. I don't wanna say because she's 24, that she was naive (in letting Angelo, a more experienced adult, play with her emotions). But, hey... she learned. Its a competition. Not a dating show.
Kenny has rigorously been on his A-game. It bugged me out to hear some new judge criticize his skill.
I told myself (at the start of the frist ep) that if Ken gets kicked off, I'm done with the show.
Dude was a beast from the moment cameras started rolling. It'd be shocking as HELL if he & Angelo aren't neck'n'neck by the last final challenge.

Miles is such a pimp. Im over homegirls nudity. If I see her naked one more time im going to screeeeeeeeeem. Pretty girl gets a pass again.
ABDI is getting his ass handed to him as is Mark.
I can't believe Tina was crying when she told Mark to go home.
and
DID ALEX STEAL THE PEA PUREE???? I have to watch the rerun to see if he did or not. Everyone was saying that he did, and that he couldnt' have possibly had time to make it properly the day of. I wonder if anyone is going to confront him.

... Fuckin Miles, man. Dude is a master manipulator. As soon as he suggested that Jaclyn get naked (again), I had the feeling it was a setup. If it failed, she'd be pegged as one who uses her beauty as a crutch. But if it worked ... eh, it did work, and for obvious reasons. I don't think Miles would've been a winner tonight if Jaclyn hadn't "taken one for the team" with the nudity overkill.
I think Peregrine set Mark up as well... she was being clammy for a reason. He was the one stuck out on a limb, and he paid the price for falling for the okey-doke.
I think Abdi's dried up. A comeback isn't impossible, but I'm not expecting one.
I think Alex (that ol' fucker) stole the puree.

I just rewatched Top Chef to see if I could see him take it. One second he's talking about making the puree and the next he's stirring the pot? Then he WON based on the puree. The look on his face was like 'uh, ok I'll take the win even though I don't deserve it.' and the other two were shaking their heads like he stole it.
Mark sort of seemed like he was ret to go. He didn't really seem like he was there today. I agree with Abdi and the judges are telling him he's fucking up. Jackie is really a one trick pony, to me shes just corny because she only uses her body and looks. OVER HER! Perrigrin knew she set Mark up that's why she was crying. Miles art is manipulation.

yup, that Alex definitely stole the pea puree.
LOL
Anyway,
I gotta be totally honest with you guys, I'm just about done with the whole fuckin show. I don't think Mark deserved to be eliminated. Sure, he could've dug a bit deeper and not been so "safe". But, whats NOT safe? Fingering your vagina, standing up, and then painting it?
Ladies & gents, that aint art. Its P-O-R-N.
I'm sick of these White, upper-class, yuppie, pretentious critics (who self-proclaim themselves as the taste-makers of art).
Don't get me wrong,... Abdi fucked up. Big time. I think its time for him to go home, and maybe he'll find himself.
Those aesthetically-elitist/SNOBBISH judges are full of shit. Miles throws globs of tar on a plank of wood, and stands it next to a pornographic cartoon,... then voila! Its art.
He punches a hole in a wall,... its a "deconstruction of a dumb idea".
No, how about its just a dumb idea?!!
Meanwhile, Mark gets ridiculed for being too "obvious" and "literal".
Nobody's piece was that great, I felt. But, how is a woman masterbating... deep art?

These men don't want to critisize her honestly because deep down they hope the sleep with her. Even if it's subconsciously. Have you noticed when a woman is a judge she's not screaming Jackie is a genius? I know what you mean these white males are always going to call slackers like Miles genius thats why the field is populated with Miles' and not Abdis. Abdi was lacking and I think the obvious (what you pointed out) is getting him off his game. He's young too. In about 10 more years of introspective searching and travelling hell be a complete BEAST. Perrigrin is on her last leg too. I will watch the rest because I want to see if they crown Miles. I believe with Mark out othe picutre thats what's going to happen.

Jackie is trying to use her nude self AGAIN, and then took the picture back @ the house which is off of studio time. So it would be against the rules. But she admitted it to everyone and asked if anyone minded. Everyone said YES! LOL.
Abdi is getting good feedback from Simone, it's a good portrait but not nature.
Miles is talking crap and his see saw doesnt have anything to do with nature either. I hope he gets cut. I just don't want him or Jackie winning.
BUT
GO TEAM TIFFANY! She cleaned up tonight! She had immunity and still nailed it. Could it be? Could a BLACK WOMAN be in the finals???
Alex choked all day long which to me screams that he didn't make that pea puree. He can barely cook! He was on the chopping block and Steve got sent home instead of him. Alex is such a weasel.

I fell asleep on the couch towards the middle of the episode. From what I saw, it seemed like Jaclyn had given up on the challenge long before she started. I would've liked to see her move away from the medium she's most comfortable with. I heard Nicole got axed, which kind of surprised me, so I'm curious to see what she did. Maybe YT will have parts of the episode. Glad to hear Abdi bounced back. I had a feeling whatever Miles was doing wasn't gonna have much at all to do with nature. No idea how in the hell Peregrine made it this far (majority of her work bored the ass off of me) -- I honestly don't care who wins anymore, but I hope it's not Peregrine.

ABDI CAME BACK!!!
He has arisen from his funk. I'm very happy for him. Really & truly.
That piece he drew of himself (using the dirt/soil) was AMAZING. Now, THATS more like it. So spiritual. Its very captivating.
I wasn't impressed at all with anybody else's work. The only thing I would've changed was that Peregrine went home with Jaclyn (instead of that other girl, who made the weird alien-like coconut thing).
All I can do is laugh at this point. I mean, Miles wreaks of that pretentious "so abstract its definitive"/ "so subtle, its meaningful" conceit. The british guy (I forgot his name) said to him "well, its very elaborate. A very interesting way of making cheesecake". LOL
I'm not saying he's the worst artist. But, where's the heart & soul? Where's the emotion?
I love how Abdi made a statement. Dare to make a fucking STATEMENT.
I understand that what Miles does is what usually sells at art galleries in Soho & Chelsea, but I don't like none of that shit either. I can't connect with it. I want somethng thats got SOUL. Or ateast something that will grab my interest long enough to make me want to explore it more.
*okay, on to Top Chef"
Tiffany is KILLIN 'EM.
Sista is doin the damn thang!!!
TWO wins in ONE EPISODE?!?!?!?
Oh, she bad... she BAD!!!
and to see Angelo get pissed,...I love it. I love it. But, its a shame though that Kenny is stuck in the middle. Not good enough to be top 3, but not awful to the point of ending up in the bottom.
I wonder if he's really stepping outside of himself. Because thats the same problem I see with Angelo. The prick keeps making the same shit. Sure, it may taste good. But, he's playing it safe,...and thats boring.
TIFFANY stepped outside of her comfort zone and took a chance,...did something totally unexpected of her, and ripped her competition a new asshole.
Yes.

I mean ABDI really brought that holy ghost fire to the party didn't he? He dug deep and got something amazing. Really amazing. I was so happy for him too. I am anxious to see what he does for the finale. I was shocked that jackie didn't get sent home.. I liked the alien cave thing. It was cute and nature, sculptural too. Moreso than Miles cheesecake maker. Youre right where IS the soul in Miles work? There is none. I really don't want him to win. Anyone but him or jackie.
I was whooping it up for Tiffany! I mean IN YOUR FACE! Funny how dude was ' it was that she beat Angelo...' that says it all. People have picked up that he makes asian food over and over, he even got Asian in the challenge too. ZZZzzzzzz.
Kenny was lost in the sauce all night wasn't he? He didn't get stand out once. Im excited now to see what's next. I have never seen a black woman get this far on the show before. Chills.

HE DID IT!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! HE ACTUALLY DID IT!!!! WOW!
He made Dave LaChapelle cry, TWICE! I was glad Miles didn't get over on his blah blah blah again, they saw through that shit this time around. Awkward was the walk out of the gallery when they told him he wasn't the winner. Perrigrin can only do so many ponies you know. Im really happy for the brotha. LaChapelle said 'the artworld needs someone like you.' NO SHIT!
