The next morning, we get yet another NEVER BEFORE SEEN scene of Joey looking clean shaven and everyone being surprised. They head to H&M to update their looks for the fashion show challenge. Hate whines about not being able to wear her booby clothes and says the clothes make her feel weird. She actually cries because she loves her clothes and loves the way she looks in them. Hate voices her frustration at elimination, but ultimately Arnaldo goes home for playing it too safe. For playing it too safe, and for the crime of really bad poetry.
That night, Hate cries in the bathroom to Perfume. She says that she finally knows what it feels like to hate people. She tries to lecture Megan, but Megan laughs, calls her a victim and walks off. The next day, they dress mannequins in 30 minutes. No one knows any of the fashion terms. Anne keeps pronouncing the word "empire" like "empeer." Megan wins, so she puts Ashlie on a team with Devin and Hate. Yadda yadda yadda. Y'all remember all this, I'm sure.
Later that night, Hate does impressions of Anne to make everyone laugh. Through a very pert mouth, she says Anne-ism like, "She looks like she's on crack." Hate says that she loves doing impressions and felt like it was a bonding moment. But then Hate says that Anne is a lot like her because she's happy, positive, funny, outgoing and funny. Umm, is this the same Anne that we all know and love? The one with the sourpuss face who tells people that their models look like they're on crack? Okay, I guess we'll play along, but you've lost me, really.
Johanna says that Anne's nice but she's not happy-go-lucky like Hate. Hate says that she may be all wacky now, but when she grows up, she'll be more like Anne. Johanna says that Hate is already 22 and still acts like a buffoon. So Hate lashes back, saying that she doesn't know any 28-year-olds who are as uptight as Johanna. Johanna says that she is uptight, but Hate stated it in a mean tone. The whole confrontation is dumb, and I can see why it didn't make it to the air in the first place.
Again we see the China Town challenge and Jason's insane panic attack. We see 911 come again. He makes it back for presentations only to be eliminated. How nice.
In NEVER BEFORE SEEN footage, we learn that Jason leaves letters for some of the Stylistas. We see Danielle and Perfume read their letters from him and cry. They zoom in on Danielle's letter just long enough to see that Jason's handwriting is similar to that of a second-grader who is just learning cursive. And we can read a few lines, among my favorite is: "Hmm...are you the hidden gem?" Or something lame like that. He must be stealing from Arnaldo's Book of Lame, which is just mindless scrawlings across the back of a Lisa Frank folder.
We again get to see all that Erin Slowey birthday party planning craziness. Every time that little rickets-ridden, mini-adult comes on screen, I can't help but chuckle. I think that may have been my favorite episode. And not for the challenge, but just because a freaky little girl in geezer clothes presses my funny button every time.
The next day, they go to Bendel's to pick out an outfit for Anne's trip to the Hampton's. Devin wins the challenge and gets to choose teams. She tries to put all the drama people on the same team. In NEVER BEFORE SEEN footage, that night Gay Sidekick says that if Hate wins, then he's retiring and going to work at a grocery store.
But Devin's plan to put all the drama on the same team backfires as her team loses the editorial challenge, and she and Joey Mac are sent a'packin'. After this challenge, we see Hate isolate herself from the group because everyone always talks about her. She says it's not funny to make someone feel sick. Ashlie calls her to over and says they didn't exclude her. Megan calls Hate the victim again and says she's delusional. Yes, this was NEVER BEFORE SEEN footage, but it's really not new information.

Actually this clip show was helpful for me (partly because I didn't see the first episode).
I learned that:
--Dyshaun is a true cunt, and not merely a minion to the evil Megan, and I do hope he meets with many misfortunes in his life. Other than just being dwarfishly short.
--Megan is just another spoiled flat=chested rich kid (probably related to one of the producers) whose parents' money bought her an inflated sense of her own worth. There was some throwaway line from her to the effect that she didn't want the others to know she's rich? She's certainly not shy about showing the others that she has not taste, no charm, no grace and no class. Although I like it that her pimple seems to be taking over in a Total Recall kind of way.
--Kate's eagerness to call everyone out during the judging really is only self-defense and is anyway entirely justified.
If the abuse she's taken from these shitheads is even only a fraction of what the editing makes it out to be, then I'm surprised she isn't spitting into the food while they're not looking.
The rest of this cast is just unremarkable. Joanna is the most unsexy woman to appear on one of these shows ever. And Ashli just seems like she's in over her head.
This is just another reality show that ultimately rewards bad behavior for the sake of 'good' television.

I agree with Itchy. I think Kate is usually justified in bitching at the others. That girl is taking a LOT of shit from everyone else. Everyone who doesn't like her should picture this in your mind: Picture the person who makes your life a living hell. Picture the one who constantly makes fun of you or criticizes everything you do or say. The person with whom you cannot win. Now multiply that person by 5 or 6. Now you live and work and play EVERY DAY with those 5 or 6 people. Think you would throw a couple of tantrums? I bet you would.
I think her instincts have been pretty good most of the time. I think she is on the point more often than any of the other folks. I'd like to see her win. Ashlie is probably my second choice. Megan and GS can go eff themselves.

Yeah, the Clips episode was boring. The recap was funny though! Why do we need these recap shows?! Do they get enough ratings to justify advertising costs?

Remember though, Kate said that she doesn't work well in groups, so I don't think it is completely one-sided. I just don't like the way she acts during the presentations and she would have been out that time she cried had I been in charge. There's no crying in fashion!
Itchy, it seems that having a flat chest is the second-worst thing a woman can do as far as you are concerned, next to being rich. Hey, it's all good; just remember that Kate probably had a flat chest before she had 'em done.

Hey, Pixie, no not at all. I've never been attracted to a woman because of her breasts and actually prefer smaller to larger if I were to make a choice. Although I don't believe I've ever 'chosen' a woman because of her tits.
I was kind of disappointed to learn that Kate's were fake, but it makes sense now, it's why her body isn't so well proportioned. She'd look much better without them, definitely much sexier. (Kate may be pretty, but she's not sexy...here in France, where small is the norm, they know how to rock it, tits or none).
My cut at Megan is more to the point that her 'beef' with Kate from the get-go probably stemmed from her own lack of beef...
I don't mind rich women either. What I don't like are spoiled rich bitches (male and female) who think they are somehow privileged because their parents (or grandparents) came into a lot of money.
That, plus a huge gaping zit on the forehead...well, tits wouldn't help that bitch anyway.

I don't get all this Kate love. She has meltdowns when things don't go her way. She's a beast to the few people who have tried to be nice to her. She may have some intuition when it comes to trends but that doesn't mean that she gets to be a shit heel to those around her.
Granted, all of the remaining contestants are annoying on some level. But Kate takes it to a whole other level.

Oh, Kate's difficult but if I had been in her situation I would have knocked that black, gay bitch down on the ground and kicked him in the nuts until he passed out. Then I would have started kicking him in the head.
It's obvious that the gay black bitch has never held a real job. If he had -- he would know that his behavior is inappropriate for the workplace. He is a workplace lawsuit waiting to happen! Don't pick him ELLE. He IS abusive.

Well, technically, his offensive stuff occurred in their apartment, not the workplace. Of course, since they are required to live there, it would probably be considered part of the workplace in a suit.
Which of these bitches DOES know how to behave in the workplace? If you count the apartment as part of their workplace. Sitting around piling the hate on one person (deserved or not), while that person is present, is hardly in the great tradition of American office politics. You're supposed to be sweet as sugar to their face and make them think you are their ally, then stab them in the back. Come on, people, it's worked for hundreds of years! lol
Kate's big mistake was telling Gay Sidekick that he could say anything he wanted about her work, her experience, and her personality, but no remarks about her body. Now it's open season on her. She should have said, "The next time I hear you talkin' about me, ho, is the last time you talk about anybody!"
Still, crying and blaming everbody else for your problems is not appropriate behavior in the workplace, either. If I were Slowey, I just wouldn't want to have Kate around. Unless she figures she can shape her up, boot camp style.

I always wonder how much of the footage the 'boss' on this type of show gets to see, and when.

I just read on another site that Kate could give as good as she got and supposedly was really nasty to Dyshaun, even going after him for being gay. Though to be fair, when someone calls you the name of a sexually transmitted disease, that pretty much means alls-fair as far as I'm concerned. If he'd have called me Chlamydia, I'd have probably called him HIV+, which is hardly tasteful. Maybe Herpes or Genital Wart, that would be less offensive.
Anyhow, they supposedly were giving Kate the "victim edit" or some such.
