So, that slip.... I watched the show right after watching 'Project Runway' and was in runway critique mode. It was a very odd wardrobe choice, as it did not fit very well. -Watch it bunch and crease as Padma moves. Generally, a slip dress is worn under a blazer, not by itself, for exactly the reasons posted here, with people mistaking it for sleepwear. The color was too intense for such a dark, almost colorless setting. Padma would have stood out wearing almost any color. I know they were trying to capture some glitz and LV excitement, but, like one of the cheaper casinos' decor, it came across as jarringly tacky. (I would have gone for a dark gold satin, myself.)

 

I liked the reward system, and also hope they use it in the future. The top two were not the two I would have chosen, but, in the end, it's hard for viewers to say anything since we can't taste the food.
