He ends by saying that he tried to follow her and she led him off a precipice. I LOVE THIS MAN. Kenley, shockingly, tells us that she isn't listening to Tim because after all, what does he know about hip hop anyway? If he learns one thing, I hope it's to smack a bitch up. She chalks the problem up to his not "understaaaanding meee!" Honey, I think we all understand you fine by now.
YOYOYO mothafuckas!
The pants she made for Squirc are, obviously, ridiculous. Squirc promises that she's not gonna stand on the runway and lie about liking them, either, "especially for someone like Kenley." Go, Squirc! Kenley's work is so bad that CutToe does something she very very rarely, if ever, does. She gives off a genuine, totally giddy smile and tells us that she can't wait for tomorrow.
Who are you?
Kenley dances around the room in her leather jacket and horsey laughs and says that it's totally hip hop. Hobosexi just laughs and pats himself on the back for making it into the final four. Pleather tells us that he has a very bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. Tim hates his work and worse, no dead people have come to him in his dreams to give him ideas. Awwww. I am really feeling for him. Bwahahahah! The next morning, as Hobosexual puts on his latest ripped up woman's t-shirt, he tells us that he is thinking of sabotaging Pleather. You should be thinking about going to the GAP and BUYING something, you dodo. I actually have started to like Hobo because he's at least entertaining, but come on. I just can't root for this. I CAN'T DO IT!
Perfect. Places!
Then he tells his roommates, Tim and Straight Guy, that if they stay home today they have to promise not to make a mess.
And I like him again. DAMN YOU, HOBO!
Kenley has woken up with a positive attitude and tells us that she's not listening to Tim and she knows hip hop. BTW did you know Obama went to Parsons?
YES WE CAN!
Squirc says she's got a lot of work to do on her big formless blouse, but I don't know what she's talking about.
Looks like CutToe to me. Maybe add some patterns?
Hobo says that CutToe has some major junk in her trunk so it will be interesting to see how Squirc pulls it off. That ass is a new shape in itself. Kenley has made high wasted capri pants that're "a little too bunchy in the crotch," but is convinced that it's hip hop. Hobo just nods his head and tells her she's doing great. She adds a giant necklace. And then giant earrings. Hobo keeps nodding yes while CutToe laughs her ass off.
The designers get to sit in the hair and makeup chair this week, and I have to say it's pretty awesome to see Kenley's bangs cuteified. Funny, though, that her hair is still a big bouffant from the 50's. Pleather got a multicolored weave as bangs and thinks he looks like he belongs in the drag queen challenge. You wish you were that hot. All this time, the only think Hobosexi needed to make his clothes make sense was a little eye makeup.
Easy. Breezy. Beautiful.
D. This entire season is disrespectful to Tim.
LL Cool J is the guest judge today, and unfortunately he's not wearing my favorite outfit.
Cut Toe is out first on the runway in Squirc's country dress and looks like she's attending a kid's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Who in the country world dresses like that? I think the last time I saw anything close to this was in a Patsy Cline bio. FAIL. I do like the Wonder Woman belt though and Cut can walk. She moves that butt back and forth like a giant cat tail. Damn girl! Otherwise...
Crazy
Hobosexual's next with his rocker outfit on Kenley. There's a badly swen dress over a little black mini and a tiny furry vest made out of Gonzo the Muppet. It's not as bad as Squirc's, so there's something.
The giant sunglasses on her head really make this rock.
Kenley gets mad because she says that Squirc isn't doing anything to sell her hip hop outfit. She's doing everything she can short of shooting people. Nothing can sell that look. HIDEOUS. And the flat ironed hair? That will do nothing to help her split ends. The judges are all laughing at Squirc's hilarious hip hop walk/performance, which might be Kenley's saving grace this week.
No words.

Darling Flipit,
I rolled out of bed this morning cranky as hell, got my coffee and procrastinated by reading your recap. I love you!!! This was one of the funniest recaps I've ever read and I'll probably be a much nicer person today now that I've snorted coffee all over my keyboard...
Hugs,
Yenta

Great recap Flip!
You didn't state the obvious about the Shame's outfit Hobisexual was wearing - did you not scream in horror when you noticed:
A. Shame/Blame/Suede stuffed his pants with one of his socks
B. One of the Parson's rooftop squirrels lodged itself in his crotch
C. Pants complete with a reverse trunk monkey!

Flipit, I can think of no better way to delay starting my Thursday morning at work than by reading your PRun recaps!
I was squealing with glee as Kenley got her semi-comeuppance from Tim and/or Nina this week; how much of an a-hole do you have to be to make Tim Gunn genuinely angry?!
I squealed later in the show, too, but that was from horror when they kept zooming in on Jerell's moose knuckle. Despite said crime against my retinas, he is still growing on me.

I'm just disappointed that the rest of the designers didn't all start laughing when Kenley was getting dressed-down on the runway.
I really really really hate her. I'm hoping they kept her around so that they can cut her right before the finale.

"he's not just being a dick for fun. He's also doing for money. And his own show."
Hah!
Also, loved Leanne's "hip-hop walk" down the runway.

Great recap! I especially love the 50's housewife graphic captioned "YOYOYO mothafuckas!"
I noticed in the beginning credits that the name Richard Bye was displayed when Pleather was on camera. Just sayin'.
6 of 32 | Posted by mousecat | Posted on September 25, 2008 7:27 AM
Funniest line in TVGasm history. Ever.
"After a moment of waiting for Nina's poisonous neck sack to deflate..." accompanied by that screencap = priceless.
I'm still laughing 10 minutes later...

Flipit, you continue to make me snort laughter real hard and now I have a piece of bagel caught in my nasal cavity. I just KNEW you were going to get a screen shot of the CutToe eye-roll (that was FABULOUS) and everything else was right-on as usual... much love to you!
love, J-Mo :)

That was the most awesome PR show to date!!! And your recap was right up there too- thank you!
I can't even write anymore, too much to love. Maybe if I watch it again? All I can do right now is sit here with a goofy smile shaking my head.

oh flipit, your recaps are so good i'm sad when they are over...
count me in on the kenley hate bandwagon. she's so obnoxious. jerell should have put her in a britney thong-outfit and made her wobble down the runway in shame.
pegster--good point. when she gets eliminated (notice i said "when" and not "if") they should all bust out laughing. that would make my life.
10 of 32 | Posted by AuJew | Posted on September 25, 2008 8:44 AM
Why was Squirc walking like a giraffe with an amputated leg? And why so many Hobo crotch shots? This was the best show this season, and that's sad. GREAT recap, as usual!

Hey! So, I just noticed that Wikipedia has done it again and (I won't list them here) in the episode recap of episode 13 lists the three finalists. Check it out.
12 of 32 | Posted by armstrae | Posted on September 25, 2008 9:31 AM
OMG
so i use these recaps to get through my heinous 8 am finance lectures and now thanks to you everyone is wondering why the crazy girl in the back is giggling about compounding interest and APRs.
amazing recap

No one understands Kenley's aesthetic. I had no idea 'back biting bitch with over-inflated ego' was an aesthetic.
Jerell should have won. His Britneyizing of Kenley was genius. If only she had flashed her cooter on the runway he might have.
14 of 32 | Posted by gitgo | Posted on September 25, 2008 10:55 AM
Lucille Van Pelt was my childhood hero..firt, Mommaellis1 called her a cranky lesbian,Condeleeza Rice stole her hairstyle and now Flipit has let the world know that she bares a striking resemblance to Kenley. I now have to go to my list and pick another hero. I'm running out of candidates. I am now left with Natalie from Facts of Life, "Dude" from the old Dell Commercials, Horeshack, the old lady who lived across the street from my childhood home that was arrested for prostitution at the ripe old age of 63 (true story), the lady who had me and my sister shuck 6 garbage bags full of corn and then gave us a quarter and told us to split it, and my foster mother who just the other day called me and said "Hello "extra cash", can you do the world a favor and not wear anything above the knee. Trust me."

alas, another season grounds to a halt, and thank f*in christ Pleatha is outta there!!! My Lord, so long, long, long overdue.
Fun to see them all conspire against Kenley Spears, but I did think that look was right on, puck was okay too--jeans looked great in make and all. Go Cut, and Go Leanne--she was pretty funny in her willingness to be a total dork!
Thanks for the speedy recap, as always Flip!!!! You're the nuclear bomb!!!! xoxox

"After a moment of waiting for Nina's poisonous neck sack to deflate"
holy crap! I almost wet myself.
17 of 32 | Posted by celmo | Posted on September 25, 2008 1:58 PM
I think I hate Kenley more than any other contestant I've ever seen on this show. Her attitude towards Tim is insulting and while her designs aren't bad, they're nothing special. At least the other designers don't laugh at her when she's getting critiqued (and she would deserve it). I loved Jerrell telling her that the earrings she picked were hip hop when they so clearly were not. I'm hoping that either Leanne or Cut wins the whole thing.
18 of 32 | Posted by murphena | Posted on September 25, 2008 2:30 PM
Dammit, Flipit, you made me wet myself. I've never laughed so hysterically while reading a recap. The dog is scared. Teaching him to howl when he sees Kenley- bad Kenley.

Joining in on the "poisonous neck sac" riot train. I've actually been having to wipe my eyes throughout the day just thinking about it. I think it's in the Top 10 TVGasm recap lines in history, let alone just PR. Thanks for being so fast!
and I guess some a-hole took down the Wiki winner info, rats, I wanted to cheat...
21 of 32 | Posted by killbondnow | Posted on September 25, 2008 4:30 PM
sevenfourteen, I for one would love to see more of Jerrell's reverse trunk monkey pants! tee hee
And flipit, I too was disappointed that LL (fanning myself) wasn't wearing your favorite outfit.
Best moment for me: Jerrell telling "Tim & Joe" to behave in the apartment!
Worst mooment for me: "Kenley, you're in."
When you feel the pain for Suede, you know there's some massive hate going on. She's worse than Lisa of TC4.
22 of 32 | Posted by hutchlover | Posted on September 25, 2008 5:25 PM
The producers really stirred the pot on this one. Suede's outfit was meh but I'd like to know in what global dimension Kenley's was Hip Hop. Poor Leanne looked like my neighbor when she goes to play Bingo and thinks she looks so cool.
I wanted to see the cheat on Wiki too just to know Kenley didn't make it.
Thanks for the fast and funny recap.

Did anyone else notice how badly Jerell did on the runway walk? Everyone else when they walked down at least tried to sell their look, but the former professional model did everything he could to sabotage the look, slouching and shuffling down the runway. If he had done a decent job Kenley might have gone home instead. I can't be sure who I wanted off more, but Jerell certainly was a factor.
24 of 32 | Posted by Fitz | Posted on September 25, 2008 9:45 PM
"Fun to see them all conspire against Kenley Spears, but I did think that look was right on:
Juddfan, please please please tell me you are talking about Jerrell's outfit for Kenley and not Kenley's "hip hop" fiasco.
Kenley is just...I have no more words. I'm through with her. She pissed off my Timmers, and he never gets mad.
I loooooved Tim in this episode. He totally busted out laughing at them after they came back from make-up, he totally bitch-slapped Kenley when she whined at him and he seems genuinely happy this season.
Korto has some SERIOUS junk in her trunk. That woman's ass probably controls the tide.
And is it sad that as an African American chicka, I was happy as hell that all the designers chose "colored" models and left those dastardly blondes in the dust? (Sorry to blonde people, but you've had your shot, give it up to the coloreds!)
25 of 32 | Posted by pixiegal262 | Posted on September 25, 2008 10:23 PM
Oh woe is me, I feel so lonely, but I just can't get onboard the hate-Kenley train...
I mean, I have felt intense dislike for certain reality tv characters in the past, so it's not like I'm incapable of despising an image on my television screen. It's just that... I see Kenley simply as being young and immature and most likely insecure and that she'll grow out of it.
Maybe it's because I'm still kind of stuck in that 50s look myself... I really do think the clothing world went downhill from there.
And of course, now that I know there's a pretty nice looking body underneath her 50s housefrau getup, well, sorry...it's so obvious to me that she just needs to grow a little inside...(in other words, she's hiding herself behind the obnoxiousness).
I agree her design was ridiculous...although Leanne...grrrrowwlll again!
There's no way they could keep Pleather and eliminate Kenley though. She's the only one who really has a coherent style --the others just kind of flonder...or produce boring gap-like clothing.
26 of 32 | Posted by itchy | Posted on September 26, 2008 12:03 AM
I can't believe I didn't mention the sock drawer in Hobo's pants!! My bad! I sure as hell had a good laugh over it. And mousecat thanks for pointing out the Rich Bye thing. I was disappointed that Pleather wasn't given a Sidekick on to call the living relatives of his family. I'm glad the editors are still slipping Easter eggs in there for us.
And Itchy, poor itchy! I think your assessment of Kenley is right on. She's just immature and will (hopefully) grow into a better person with time. But remember that if she was a better person she wouldn't be on our TV's, so YAY to no self awareness.
Thanks so much for reading you guys, I love loling at your comments. Peace
27 of 32 | Posted by flipit | Posted on September 26, 2008 4:22 AM
Great recap as always!! Is anyone else wondering why they rechose models this week since they didn't use them anyway? Now we'll have to go through that torture again next week. How could Squirc ditch her cute blond girl? That shouldn't be allowed so late in the season.
I can't stand Kenley either, but to give her credit, she rocked the Kenley Spears outfit, and when asked about it she was totally positive. Jerrell was a total jerk-off in the way he walked the runway. Dude, if you're that insecure in your own designs that you have to try and sabatouge someone else, that's sad. ESPECIALLY when that person is Pleather.
And HOW did that freakin' Tresemme salon make Squirc's bangs look worse than they already were? I was hoping for a totally new haircut.
Can't wait til next week to see Kenley smack down Heidi!!
28 of 32 | Posted by LindaLC | Posted on September 26, 2008 5:51 AM
Who knows? Maybe the reason why they're all crying in the preview is because Kenley suddenly reached a new level of enlightenment and has decided to dedicate herself to a life of charity and self-effacement.
And to having her teeth fixed.
Did I mention Leanne? Grrowwll!
29 of 32 | Posted by itchy | Posted on September 26, 2008 8:44 AM
Someone answer me this: have they ever switched models from another still there designer or ditched their girl and took the last challenge's loser? I can't remember that happening before but I missed a few seasons but just can't seem to remember it happening before. I was pretty surprised Squirc switched. Not as surprised as her (now former) model, I am sure.
30 of 32 | Posted by mrsc | Posted on September 26, 2008 9:51 AM
Yes, Pixie, I meant Kenley's look by Hobo was right on.
Itchy, I don't hate Kenley either, I usually would, but some how she is escaping my wrath, hate Pleatha tho--coz of being a poser and a loser, which is mean of me, but isn't here where I get to let my hate shine!!!
Forgot to mention the scrumptious LL---mmmmmmmm, he is toooo fine, and not show cased enough here. Momma said knock you out!!!!
Mrsc, I too was surprised Leanimal ditched her model--I'm not huge on blonde's either, but she had a waist to die for, and was part of the reason her car recycle outfit was so smokin'
I could see why Kenley changed, as she got saddled with her's, after loosing her fierce model.
I don't know all the history, but I do know Uli stole Michael's model right before the finale on their season. Maybe Pleatha's model is great, but I haven't noticed as she's always wrapped in fug.
To be fair, Pleatha did do a good job on the pants, but I think it must have been harder for Hobo to wear those than for Kenley to wear hers . . . Im just sayin'

Long time reader, first time poster. Your recaps just make my humdrum day. Poisonous neck sack and Susan Powter on too much sodium actually made my heart stop for a couple of seconds. Can't wait for next week!
