Their next task is to pick out a gift for Amy Sacco, owner of Bungalow 8. As you recall, Megan and Johanna win for choosing the cashmere throw and are put on rival teams. That night, they'll be attending a party at the club, so they go to the "Elle" closet to pick out outfits for the party, which is difficult for Danielle because the producers failed to supply the closet with any clothes that might fit a person who is not a size zero. Speaking of clothes, did anyone else notice Megan's bizarro homemade shirt???
Back at the loft, they study faces and names for the party. In a NEVER BEFORE SEEN scene, Gay Sidekick and Megan make some joke about Danielle sitting on them. Danielle overhears and explodes. She doesn't confront the evil butt buddies, but whisper yells to Ashlie, saying that she thinks they were making fun of her because of the way she looks, which is really too easy. It's like making fun of GS for being gay and making fun of Megan for smelling bad. Wait, Megan smells bad? I bet it's the zit. It's probably really just a tiny mouth that opens up from time to time and breathes stale, raunchy, zit breath on everyone.
They arrive at Bungalow 8 the next night, and Johanna's team does terribly at identifying the guests. They go back to put together a party page. GS misspells Wainwright. But Johanna's team mis-IDs a guest and their page is crappy, so they lose. Because all Danielle did was type up the names, she is cut for having a lack of creative input.
And now we have been officially brought up to current day! This week we return to a normal episode with another Stylista sent packing. I bet we lose the Sidekick this week. That's just my prediction.
love, MandaMo

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.
