Tiki is also a correspondent for the Today Show, and the poor little fella is all misproportioned. His neck is thick as a tree trunk, his waist is tiny, and his butt is like an exercise ball. Since the wardrobe team at the Today Show spends the majority of their time trying to figure out what size Al Roker's gonna be when he shows up for work, poor Tiki is ignored in the suit department. The challenge is to design him an outfit to wear on camera, and he's very specific about what he wants. He likes dark colors, bright colors, patterns, texture, solids...slow down, Tiki. They're already shitting on the floor. Straight guy asks if he likes "details", which scares me. Tiki does! And to prove it, he opens his suit jacket to show off his pink and yellow lesbian key chain.
Wow. Keep that thing covered, dude. You're supposed to be the hetero, here.
The mood in the work room starts out light and fun, with Jack carrying Christian around in a purse like a rich girl's yappy chihuahua, but there's no way this won't get ugly. Jack asks Tim if the men can use their own clothes as reference, to which Tim furrows his brow and replies "Of course!" Point of reference, huh. I'll bet Tim means the men should take apart their outfits and make patterns out of them.
The gays are understandably confused, and spend the first five to ten minutes of their sketch time staring at blank pads, like the fairy godmother of the NFL is gonna show up in a pumpkin and inject them with some testosterone laden ideas. Straight guy, on the other hand, is sketching away on his suit. Just in case we aren't buying his manliness yet, he wears a hat only a misguided straight guy could.
Alright, alright! We GET it!
At mood, Rami looks for the perfect material for a tailored blazor. It looks like he's going for pink, a color Tiki specified he wasn't afraid of. How inventive. Kit Pistol has designed for TV, so she knows what works and doesn't work on camera. She picks almost the exact same print that Tiki was wearing on his shirt earlier, proving that she also knows if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I hope this isn't going to be another week of these designers copying the exact same outfit the guest judge is wearing. Cough sweater dress cough. Chris toys with the idea of making Tiki some hot pants, which makes me love him even more.
We haven't heard a peep from our favorite crazy face yet today, but when Tim calls time, she smiles like a jackal and giggles at the silly voices in her head. Dear God, please let Elisa know how to make menswear so she can stay another week. Love, Flipit.
Your inner child sounds hilarious. I wish I could hear her, too.
Even though only straight guy seems to know how to make a suit, the majority of the designers decide to give it a go. Jack takes off his shorts and pulls them apart to trace for his pattern. Woah. Point of reference or xerox copy? Carmen (who's the biggest pouter EVER) won't stop coming up to him and asking him questions, so he finally just hands the shorts to her to trace as well. Victorya decides to get in on that action too and traces away. Rami calls bullshit, but only in private time to the cameras. In the workroom, he just throws around pissy faces and pouts. WUSS!
Sweet P, though, has some balls. She tells Jack in the nicest way possible that it's probably not fair tracing a pattern, but he just waves her off, saying he's sharing it so whatevs. He tells the cameras that people are gonna be jealous of his talent for tracing things, but that's their problem. Picasso took shit too for painting by numbers, and he's like totally famous now. Nads over at Newsgasm just sent me naked pics of Jack, so even while I think he is totally and absolutely a big fat cheater pants, my biology refuses to let me hold him accountable.
Not guilty!
Click the pic for pee pee shots. NSFW!!
By the end of the night, almost everyone is scared out of their minds because no one is even near finished. Steven says it's midnight and he's standing around in a pimp's hat, just like at home. HAHA, Steven. It's kinda cute that he thinks the old widow gardening hat is pimp.
If it's not too much trouble, I would appreciate it if you handed over the money you earned while renting out your lovely body, pretty please.

I was about to say, where are the hotties? Oh my god, that dark skinned Adonis with his gorgeous features...the one who had to deal with RickyBitch. I would take him home yesterday :).
Carmen deserved the boot she didn't even make a shirt. Making a crappy shirt is better than making no shirt at all.
On a different note, I can't see the nudies of SexyMuscularGay with HIV (poor thing, it broke my heart. First to hear that he was gay and second that he has HIV. At least he's not victimizing himself and appears to be in good health. Besides that whole HIV thing).

where are the hot chick models? this round does not cut it. (Heidi excluded, she is as hot as ever).
sounds like pants pattern cutter boy has cheated and will be kicked off the show.
i wonder if this show has jumped the shark?

You can see the nudie shots if you go to the website listed on the photo and then click Galleries -> male (adult). ;-) And yes, there is ween.
I'm so bummed that I can't see these episodes! My only PR fix is through the gasm. They are at least 1 season behind here in the UK and iTunes isn't showing PR this season like they did last season. What gives?

snotchy, that is what torrents are for.......
anyway, I was actually glad that they finally had a menswear challenge. Though I think it would have worked better if they didn't have to make so many pieces. Maybe that's the point of menswear though, is the number of pieces? I have no clue.
Glad Carmen's gone, but Ricky needs to be next. I'm worried about Jack -- remember when they were showing snippets of the whole season and Tim came into the room with Jack and said he had an announcement? OH NO!!! Jack don't leave!!!

Tonight - out of the blue - I fell in love with Steven.

Flipit I think that you hating Straight Guy's outfit had to do with the gay man vs. straight woman perspective. Me and my favorite gay man watched this ep together and we had the same argument... I loved it and he hated it. Give me a straight guy in a purple tie, with a pocketsquare ANYDAY! And how could you leave out the guy's comment that he finally understood the comment that straight men always made about the "hot models" around them? That cracked me up.
I was a bit puzzled that Jillian didn't get called out too. Her look was the most complete!
This episode made me realize that we need a PR with lots of naked male models. The more the better.

Has anyone else seen the MadTV spoof of PR? I swear Carmen is the guy who "loooves babies"
8 of 15 | Posted by LovePR | Posted on December 2, 2007 9:54 PM
Hey Flip and co . . . hmmm, maybe it's me, but I think the straight guy's protesting way too much, waaaayyyyy toooo muuuuch!!! and call me crazy, that was the gayest outfit evah!!! NO . . . is it me . . . !?
I'm pretty much agreeing on the rest, and Ricky, well, he does seem to have some kind of black energy about him. Stephen was better this time, but gay collar--it was the embodiment of the guy Carly Simon singing about in "You're so Vain" (but not in apricot)--did he win that contest!?
Carmen was out of her league, I liked her personally though. I agree on Jillian--having such a complete look should have put her in the final call, and Jack, hmmm, good gamble on completed pieces, fug result . . . I would have gone with Chris' look--lots of black, but modern and stylish. I also think if they remake "Dark Crystal" Elisa gonna be busy!!!!
And a special thanks to you, Flippy, so rare to have a "male" exploitation reel . . . not that those twinks do anything for me, but still nice to have equal time!!!! ; )

I think straightguy looks kinda like Joey Fatone! (especially with the carefully crafted facial hair)
Sweet Pea kinda cracked me up this whole episode, she knew her design was jank, and the self depricating humor was great! I'm glad she didn't get booted, even though her shirt looked like the one Denise made for Theo on The Cosby Show back in the day.
My $$ is on Chris - love him!
Great recap!!

I forgot to add, on the website, you can rate the look, and somehow, they made SweetP's shirt look whole . . . she should have at least folded out the collar.
Carmelicious . . . I totally agree, I find sculpted hair like that suspiciously gay---I know I could be sooo wrong, but still, such grooming attention, (and not doing much for him either, IMHO) and even though Joey Fatone was a straight Insync'er, I still can't miss the gay-ness of looking like a boybander--but I'm not hating, gay person that I am . . . .I'm just saying . . .

I agree.... worse PR ever!!! Thanks for the "Hotties" montage at the end. Glad Cameron is gone, I could not stand her hair with thhat big bun on top! ..... I really thought it should have been a double elimination, there were so many bad designs, maybe even a triple....
Love you...

Not only the worst PR ever, but the worst season so far. With a group challenge, and a men's challenge I feel like we have no grasp on anyone's style yet. Granted I got drunk and watched all 3 episodes for a 3rd time while supposedly cleaning for my holiday cocktail party. I have this pesky feeling nobody's got a real personal vision.
I think its too easy to see who won't be making it:
Sweet Pea (went bankrupt for a reason), Christian (desperately apeing current trends with no clear slant of his own), Jack (Cute stuff with little to no fireworks- that and we know he got booted already from those pesky staph infection rumors), Kit "Shoot me Now, you Commercialized Drone" Pistol, Ricky- nuff said suckah. That sucks. That's a lotta people who are clearly gonnna bite it.
I'll grant Crazyface, Chris, and Steve the mid range of my hope.
And then Rami and Victorya, Straightguy, and Jillian the final four.
There. Who wants to bet?

Hey Jazzhandstheworld, I love a good throw down!!! I think you've done a good job slicing up the competitors, so I'll just stick with the top 5, say. I'll agree on Rami on top, but I think Christian, and oh hell, I'll say Chris, with Crazyface and Fatone. I think Jillian will lack creativity, but I'm anxious to see, Victorya's a one note, with the shapeless babydolls. I think Kit might do okay, Steven too. I agree on Jack, nice guy, wish him well, but underwhelmed myself.
It seems they'd rather have something outrageous than something boring, so see ya Ricky!

I want to comment on Heidi saying that the Straight Guy's outfit was to gay for Seal. I totally agree with you Flipit, I just saw Seal on the Victoria Secret Fashion Show and he was wearing a sequin suit! Hello!
