Both bottom outfits were pretty bad but who wears Bermuda shorts to work unless you work in a zoo? Why aren't the designers judged on past performances along with the present design? It would clean out the bottom feeders faster.
After sitting all day on those ruffles on Keith's dress, they would be smashed and wrinkled to Hell and back.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I liked Jerrel and Stella's dress this week...even the belt.
Great recap as usual.

I had to register just so I could comment. This recap was HILARIOUS!!! Especially the picture of Korto's jacket - Just a little off the bang, so my dot will show. I literally snorted. GREAT JOB!

On another note I LOVED LOVED LOVED Jarrell and Letha's outfit. That was HAWT and I would definitely wear it. I agree that the one-eyed drunk shouldn't have went home this go around.

First off, great recap!
Nextly, I can't believe you missed the bestest line of the whole season (and maybe of all tv-dom)when Terri said (of Pleather) "I don't know if he's packing balls or va-jay-jay, but nobody's suckin' on these ti**ies. He needs to man the f*** up!"

I'm still laughing!

thanks you guys! hillpete i didn't miss that line! i quoted it! she is now my hero. xo

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Jerell was robbed this week. That outfit was fierce (Oh, how I miss my little Christian). I can't believe it was the brainchild of a man who steals his clothes from the homeless. Besides, I think Keith stole that skirt from squircangle.

And I totally agree that Kenley is turning into a major c-word. I thought little Daniel was going to cry. His hag turned on him.

Flip,
I stand, humbly, corrected. I missed it! I must have been distracted by those nasty, nasty nails! I was even looking for it specifically, cuz I knew you were dying a thousand happy deaths, just like me!

I hate Kenley now! Yay!

I liked Jerell's the best, too -- I actually think Heidi/Kors/Garcia would have picked that the winner, but it seemed that Brooke wanted the other. Alas.

I also wish they would take prior successes/failures into account in the Aufing, but maybe this way creates more drama. Or stupidity. One or the other.

Had to register, also.

I laughed throughout this episode and yet I laughed even more while reading your recap, flipit. Great, great work. Thank you!

Another great recap. I can't decide but I think I really hate this show this year. I find myself fast forwarding through most everything except a few workroom scenes and the actual "runway show." I put that in quotes because mostly their stuff sucks big time. And I hate Korto. She is vile and bitter! What happened to being so grateful for the fresh start? She was probably like "Okay, thanks for bringing us to America where we won't be killed...now step off before I chew off your head 'cause you're standing in the way of my success!"

I have to agree with the commentors who thought Jerrell and Stella's outfit was the best. I really liked it and it was obvious that the judges did too. I actually thought the winning design was really ugly - the skirt was an ugly shade of brown and I hated the pattern on the blouse. And I agree that it would be ruined after about an hour of wear. Brooke really picked a loser there.

And I kind of liked Blayne's outfit and was glad he took responsability. Everyone else failed to do so and that was really lame. I was all for Kenley, but hope she gets hers soon. What a biyach!

Flipit you are the master of these asses! I love it, love it, love it and I giggled Diet Dr. Pepper up into my nasal cavity with the "just a little of the bangs so my dot will show" caption. I'm gonna miss ol' One Eye, too, she seemed like she'd be fun to watch get drunk (I wouldn't actually get drunk WITH her because I think she might be one of those nutty girls who would actually try to have sex with me and that's just ewie).

It seems that Blayne IS actually getting paler before our eyes. It's too bad nobody told him about that giant fiery ball of gas that is visible in the sky for up to 16 hours a day, cuz I've heard that thing could help you tan, too. He's so crispy.

And was it my imagination or was Leathuh wearing MAKE-UP on this episode? Suddenly she looked a little less mannish and a lot more drag-queen-ish. I can't wait for my (wish he was) husband Chris March to reappear next week for the drag queen challenge... you know he could design rings around ALL of these assholes from this season!

love to you Flipit!
xoxox
J-Mo :)

Any other season and Blayne would be gone by now. I also liked Jerrell and Stella's outfit the best. They really seemed to work well together.

Realityblurred.com has a great article today about the editing of this show --- as evidenced by the workroom clock. I never paid much attention to it before, but from now on I will. It appears that Tim's critiques come very late in the day which doesn't really allow the designers time to make adjustment ( although most seem to think they know better anyway).

Straight guy is such a punk! When they were working, he was all "oh, yeah, I LOVE the sweet potato blouse! It's cute!" But as soon as Tim voices his doubts, SG chimes right in. Korto was right: disagree if you gotta disagree, buddy, 'cause your ass is going to be hanging out when the design gets canned.

Although I hated Blyane's bermuda shorts (for the office? Really?) you can't really blame the kid and it woulda sucked ass if he'd been cut for it: Brookie approved the design as it was. If he changed his mind and made it a skirt, he would have been lambasted for not giving the client the idea that had been pitched to her.

And LOVE LOVE LOVE Terri's comment about Pleather. It was a turn-my-head-from-across-the-room, I-hafta-rewind-and-see-it-again-ohno-she-di'int-just-say-that! moment. Beautiful!

I can't stand Kenley. Her voice is so annoying AND she's assholicious after cracking up at her supposed BFF right in front of the judges.

I actually softened a little for Jerrell on this episode, when he ended up with last choice and ended up with Leathuh I think he made the "I was going to use leather anyway" comment to make it seem like he would have picked her even without the last pick, to make her not feel bad. I could be wrong, but that's how I interpreted that whole thing based on his tone of voice when he said it.

Excellent recap, and awesome comments, I agree with everyone, cept I don't hate Kenley yet, in a way, I don't blame her for laughing, I'm sooo not impressed with Daniel, no matter what he says about his taste, like the surreal girl, stop telling us what it is and what you are, just f in' do it!!!!

I too loved Terri's comment, had to hang gap mouthed for a moment, and obviously Pleather is a major tool who will self destruct soon!

Who thinks this time around they said, let's get a bunch a lossah's this season, so we can have some big laughs!!!!

Also, one eye, she was so confident early on, but as far as her fashion eye goes, hmmmmm . . . .last time I checked, I did not see a college or high school filing out with a bunch of kids dressed in "papa-gino-table-cloth" plaid sewn into bows with singer patterns, call me crazy!!!! She soooo reminds me of my niece tho, so I ain't a hatah!!!

So happy to see you getting the love Flip!!!!

Maybe one reason Blayne wasn't eliminated is that fashion mavens have been touting Bermuda shorts for office and evening wear this season. (I know, it's nuts, but they claim that with the right top and shoes, it's a look.)So maybe they gave Blayne some credit for being current and different.

I agree that Jerrell did a better job, but I hated the color of the belt. Besides, I don't think Brooke would want to call attention to her monstrous hips with that cinched look.

I'm not sure that the winning look will do much for Brooke's coloring. It worked well on the model, though.

Oh, I forgot.

I really think Daniel should have gone home. I know that they always kick out the team leader, but his construction "skills" and "taste" had a lot to do with the failure of the outfit. I would take Leathah over him any day because the girl can construct an outfit, out of leather or whatever.

Anyhow, I dislike everything I've seen from Daniel. I hated Kenley for laughing at him, though.

You gotta figure that Kenley and Daniel has some bitchy fight in the past week that we're not privy to --only way to explain her turnaround.

I think she was right to laugh out loud at him and his continue comments about how much taste he has, how high end he is, etc. When he looks even more like a bum than the hobosexual and clearly can't design clothes any better than I could (although I sewed a button on my pants today...yes....).

Oh, and yeah, I agree, I thought the hobosexual was being quite gracious when he ended up with Pleatha.

Anyone noticed that they toned down the 'Suede 3rd Person' routine this week? Suspicious...

Hilarious episode, fantastic recap.
So nice I got to laugh twice...

Great recap as always, but I disagree about one thing: Blayne's outfit was far worse than Kelli's. Kelli's wouldn't have been half bad if the underneath garment wasn't a bustier, but a shirt that someone would actually, like, wear. The look wasn't THAT bad -- there was just too little of it. Wearing lingerie under your suit jacket was something Amanda on Melrose Place could get away with, in 1991, but no one else could (or should).

I read next week's TiVo synopsis, and the guest judge is RuPaul. Holla!

(What does "holla atcha boi" mean, exactly? Please enlighten us straight people..?)

"At some point, he's gonna have to make something that doesn't suck, but I guess he'll cross that bridge when the car behind him rear ends him and forces him onto it."

ha! I love sexual innuendo!

(If I'm not mistaken, Indian ladies don't get their hair did. Or is that just the Punjabis? I know that's the case for the men, which is why they wear a turban. They never cut their hair.)

I liked that Terri was willing to call that dude out, but could she be a little more vulgar next time? ::cringe:: Srsly, would you sit on PR's confessional couch and call somebody that on national TV, even if he deserved it? IDK. She just seems low-rent and crass to me now.

I agree with y'all: Jerrell/Leatha should have won. and Keith is a snotty brat.

"The look will have to be day-to-night because Brooke's character has to wear the same thing at work as she does when she meets Piranda, Clamantha and Tarlotte for pink martinis and girl talk about Mr. Fig."

HAHA, YES.

I also liked Jerell's design the best this week. Sad to see Kelli go, although that dress was truly fug.

Memememe:

You are ridiculously mistaken. Indian women get their hair done!! wtf?! How many WOMEN do you see walking around with turbans?? Dumbass.

Plenty of people wear Bermuda shorts to work in my office (and I work for a pretty big firm), which is why I liked Blayne's outfit. Has nobody been to the mall lately and seen whats on the racks for corp wear? Certainly not my fave, but def not one of the worst.
