The next morning, the stress is showing more and more. Ricky is flipping off his material and cursing at it in Spanish and as Rami tries on his pair of pants and gets whistles from the other designers, he snaps "see? And they're not even traced from a pattern!" Just a little passive aggression can make a pretty man ugly in a heart beat.
The male models arrive, and I think Chris' stunned face pretty much sums up the reaction of the room.
Get the biggest stretcher you can find and send it in.
Rami tries to act all butch about the boys (I'm so sure) and the girls all do their best to keep their cool, but Ricky turns into an absolute c word. Some ugly guys really resent pretty guys, and it's hilarious to see an angry uggo in action. He snivels "TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES" and curses to himself in Spanish. When the model tries to make small talk, Ricky tells him to shut it. He don't have time to talk. Daaamn. Calm down, Maria. It's not the model's fault you're gap toothed and cross eyed.
Elisa is another one who can't bear the sight of her gorgeous male model. As spiritual Indian music plays (love you, editors), she tells her beefcake that she will not let him undress in front of her because she's only ever fitted her boyfriend intimately and she doesn't want to disrespect him. For crying out loud, crazy face. How do you intimately fit your boyfriend? Never mind. I don't wanna know. I have a feeling it has something to do with spit marking and swallow tapering. No thanks.
Male model, consider yourself lucky.
To tighten the screws, Tim brings in Tiki's wife, Lucy Liu, to give them some advice. I have to note that as she enters, a gong clashes and mystical kung fu music plays. Editors, you're killin' me today. Christian takes one look at Liu and snaps his fingers. "I love Asians. Asians are fierce!" LOL, Christian. I said that the first time I got my laundry back from Sunny Ting Cleaners. Lucy, thankfully, is there to give them advice about men's fashion. I don't know if she's qualified to discuss women's wear, as she's sporting a pattern that makes her look like a brick house in clown shoes. Yikes, Liu.
You better find a Stairmaster. Cashmere Mafia's right around the corner.
Jack's lightly pinstriped slacks, dress shirt and vest don't seem to impress Lucy too much at first, but then he shows her his nude portfolio and she says that he looks like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast and she's always wanted to see Gaston naked. Good work, Jack!
Ricky's turn, and Lucy doesn't even bother to hide her disdain. I can't tell if it's because he's wearing jeans rolled up past his knees, a leopard print scrunchie on his wrist and a trucker hat or because his form is draped like John Travolta's character in Hairspray.
Tiki don't do moomoos.
Straight guy is all big toothy smiles and sunshine (It's great! It's gonna look great! Things are going great!), as he describes his outfit, but he's pitching an un-built condo on an undeveloped plot of land. Tim and Lucy like the idea of his (unfinished) slacks, (unfinished) purple shirt, (unfinished) tie, and (unfinished) jacket (pattern). I only say unfinished that many times because of the severity of his positivity. It's making me more negative. He looks further behind than almost everyone else (maybe 2nd to Ricky), but it will be cool if he ever completes the jacket because it will have a double vent in the back to accommodate Tiki's healthy butt. but it looks like he's only sewn his pants.
Pouty Carmen's turn. Lucy takes one look at her steaming pile and shakes her head. Who wears a member's only jacket on the Today Show? Tim suggests she just set the whole thing on fire but there isn't enough material to start all over again. Carmen understandably freaks out and looks around for someone's jacket pattern to trace.

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!!!

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"

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!
