"If a tree saw this girl coming in for a hug, it would uproot itself and run the other way"......best comment ever! This is why I can't read your recaps at work.....the laugh snorts are too loud.

Has anyone noticed it you use closed caption that they spell Fern's name "Malice"? Now how perfect is that?

Thanks for the great recap Flipit, but my eyes hurt from the dark images. Won't someone buy this show a few lights??

Just a random aside, something about Yarn Lady reminds me of Anne Meara. Not that I picture Anne at home alone with 47 cats....

I don't get the general jackassery of this show. What is the purpose of Eyesack and NotB trolling the workroom like the Bitches they are? They do not offer anything constructive, just point and snicker and ask "do you REALLY plan to do that?" causing the designers to poo their panties and second guess themselves. This show needs a Tim Gunn style mentor that really offers the designers something.

Reco and his snaps/headrolls still entertains me, he seems like an urban version of Christian from PR. I was happy to see the Merlin win - if only for the looks of the other designers. His outfit was the best of a bad lot. Maybe it's the poor lighting on the show that makes these designers create fug?? And Kenley needs to be gone from my screen, please!

Thanks so much for the great job Flipit!

The weird thing about Isaac and Not B's trips through the workroom is the fact that their comments so often are the exact opposite of the judging. Tim Gunn was usually right on point with what the judges had to say, but these two often trash a design and then it wins or gets all sorts of positive comments, sometimes from them! Weird.

I think they should have left out the treehuggers and drama club and put in some REAL cliques, like cholas and 4H/FFA! That would have been interesting!

Okay, this is getting weird. This is the THIRD show I fell asleep while watching this week.

Sure, I probably shouldn't be watching tv at 2 AM, but it's about the only time I have for it.

Gasp. Could it be that my reality habit is waning?

Or is it just that these shows suck that bad?

Okay, James-Pole's outfit looked like it was designed for the Third Reich.

If the Third Reich was FABULOUSSSS! lol

Well, you can't say the Third Reich were NORMAL people.

I'm still trying to picture the SS in bright yellow. Y'know, I LIKE it. Black was such a cliche.

(I know what you mean, krumblebum, it just struck me as funny.)

I do believe history would have been much different if the SS had dressed like Merlin.

Oh, itchy, ROFL.

It would be hard to be truly evil while dressed like that.

What was going on with the back of James-Paul's design? That ass was INSANE! What did those letters mean?

Okay, I'm from Indiana & all the "midwest" comments are cracking me up! Its not all farmland and AM radios here! Hello! We have Bravo AND Sytycd!! LOL!! No excuse not to know what a B girl is!

If anyone checked Bravo's assery of a website, they have Criminal Copycat Kenley blogging on this trainwreck, and guess who's her favorite?

Yup, the Kenley Cunt!

Misery loves company, eh?

I understand why you don't like Kenley, though I think she does have talent. In my opinion, Reco is WAYYYYY more of an asshole than she is, but he is also funny so he gets away with it more. But if I was standing in the way of both of them, Reco would be the first one to pull out a shiv and slice my back open. No doubt.

I have to disagree with you about some of the fashions. I liked the preppy look. I was also relieved to see that he can sew if he wants to... I guess he just usually doesn't want to, eh? I also thought the tree hugger look was cute especially the hoodie thing with the tendrils hanging in the front. And I also liked the nerd look.

Reco is lucky that this isn't project runway, because you know Nina would have ripped him a new one about his model's coochie hanging out!

Thanks for another fantastic recap, Flip!

The only redeeming quality this show has left is that the worse it becomes, the better Flipit gets.

i'm from indiana by way of chicago and i didn't know what a b-girl was, i called my 20something kids and they didn't know what a b-girl was - and the next morning on current tv b-girl showed up as a top 10 google search during the past 8 hours. i'm thinking alot of people didn't know what a b-girl was. i miss tim gunn

I liked the model's cootchie hanging out bit. :-D

Loved that screen cap of Fern looking radiant!

Not B can "not be" on my TV anytime now, thanks.

indychick: LOL. So right.

I should pretend to like Pebbles Flintstone, coz the second I liked Angel, well, who knew my opinion was such a curse!

I agree with Snootchy, mainly the nerd look though--the use of straps in the back was very S+M lite . . . I thought it was very anime sexy!!!

I never heard of a B Girl, but have discovered it's a break dancer--good call on SYTYCD, Bratty, but alas, is it a hip hop look . . . why didn't they just say hip hop if that's what they were expecting . . .

I really think it sucks they don't comment on all the looks . . . serious wrong on the labia revealing hem, and that looks been done over and over on wedding nights since the 50's . . .

I also agree about going back stage, they left Merlin in tears doubting everything, and yes Flip, WTF on calling out the sleeve length like someone cut one, and then heading to the broom closet to say they liked it . . . . F them!!!

Makes perfect sense eye sacks just brooded and judged people . . . things don't change much, huh!?

Lastly, Pix, I guess somehow they had to use their T-shirt in their final design, so those letter were part of his T-shirt cut up. Ahem, again, why can't they judge all the looks . . . why is there no lights on, how do they expect an audience to judge in such conditions.

I was very, very surprised that Merlin won . . . guess I ain't an armenian chick on the inside, but I'd love to have an armenian man inside me . . . . ugh! I must get out more . . . .

Thanks Flip!

I would never DREAM of suggesting a single addition and/or correction to anything written by the fabulous Flipit, but I think it's fun to note that the judge/designer Charlotte is none other than Charlotte Ronson, TWIN sister of Samantha Ronson, Lindsay Lohan's amour d'puss. Surely there's a laugh in that somewhere, Flipit?

"But if I was standing in the way of both of them, Reco would be the first one to pull out a shiv and slice my back open."

Maybe, Snootchy, but Kenley would be the first one to throw a cat at you!

(BTW, I like the way you said, "first one"--like, yeah, they'd both knife me, but he'd do it FIRST. Maybe his reflexes are better!)

;-)

When I heard the name Ronson, I wondered if there was a Mark/Samantha tie in there. She didn't look/act like talent got her there. :p

Pix, you know both of them would cut a bitch. lol And they are both less than gracious when they don't win. I just think Reco is slightly more vocal and does it more often. But... he is funny so he gets a pass more often. At least he vocalized what we all already know... it will be him and Kenley in the end.

Got to stick up for Charlotte Ronson here, Snootchy. She is probably the most talented person they've had on this show and is certainly more current than Eyesack. Her clothes are much more redeemable than her sister's spinning talent (of both Lohan and music) and her brother's bad Smiths' cover. Her clothes are comfortable and have a sort of retro Brit cool. And, what's better, they work for the 90% of women Mexijay and his ilk bitched about designing for.

OMG Flipit, this show gets worse and worse! I thought at first when they did such creative T-Shirt dresses that there was some talent in this bunch, but they all suck mud (and the only thing they CAN design is tacky T-shirts). Mexi-Jay is so fucking annoying I just want to spray Lysol at my TV whenever he's on, and if he's got an investor I hope they pulled out once they saw what a giant smelly nutsack tool he is on TV.

Awesome job, though, I lost me composure over the Reco-With-A-Boner bit! You're the best!

love, J-Mo :)

Plus, the Ronson gal was kind of cute.

Which beats the saggy ol' Botox ladies they usually have on there.

J-Mo, you just made my day with your post about Mexijay, though didn't need the visual "giant smelly nutsack tool" inspired. ;) The posts on tvgasm are *so* much better than the show, I actually rewatched the show last night, which leads me to wonder: why do they even bother with the guest judges if Not B and Eyesack are going to negate their opinions every epi? I mean, Eyesack is kind of a jerk and Not B makes me wonder what Bravo was thinking hiring her. Her getting offended by Angel's cluelessness was even more ridiculous the second time around.

Excellent recap, as usual. Had me surpressing snickers from my co-workers. No one really mentioned Reco's little outburst at the end. Angel's outfit sucked, but so did Pebbles'. I wish they could have canned him for having the sucky 'tude in addition to the sucky outfit. I understand Reco's frustration at having to compete against people who don't seem to give a crap. He could be a little more eloquent about it. What am I saying? This is Reco! I love him. He's a hoot!
I thought Angel's exit interview was interesting when she said Kenley's just mean, at least you know if Reco doesn't like you.

I've worked in downtown Baltimore for 19 years and I didn't know what a B-Girl was. But, upon learning that even un-fashion school trained Moi could've come up with something more Hip Hop. I think Not B was over reacting a bit when she said she was offended by Angel's design. Come on Honey. It's not like she was dressed up like Aunt Jemima.

this really is just a god awful show

so i have been asking around re: b girls and the only person that had any idea was my 90 something grandma, but her definition had nothing to do with hip hop.
