Why did they give them a $1000 budget for the first challenge and then let Devin win when she was so far over it? That's why I didn't care that she went home.

I hate to say it, but I do think that Megan and Hate know something about fashion. Nothing about conflict resolution or being decent human beings, but that's another story and another show. It seems like you have to be a psycho to fit in at Elle. I mean, look at Anne.

See, my take on the Kate thing is a little different. It seems to me that every time she opens her mouth, all of the others shut her down immediately, don't even bother to listen to her. So yeah, she ends up throwing a hissy fit because of it. But in the end, she always ends up being kinda right (at least more than any of the others). Which of course only hardens the others and makes them fight even more against anything Kate says. Even though she's right. So the only way to get them to accept anything she says is by throwing a fit.

And from what I saw, this kind of started with Megan (who is obviously intimidated by Kate's looks, if nothing else), and the others just fell in line behind her like little sheep, most likely because they were afraid of becoming Megan's next target.

I do think she's right to stick up for herself in front of the judges.

I'll admit this vision of Kate is a bit skewed by the...uh...cleavage. At least her face isn't transforming into The Thing from week to week, like Megan's.

I have to hand it to the producers, this is one of the most annoying bunches of idiots I've seen yet on a reality show.

I don't think William looks at all like Joey McEntire. But I do think he resembles Perez Hilton. Their faces are similar. I think it's the eyes and nose or something.

I agree with Itchy. I think Kate gets shut down before she even really says anything and even when she does, she gets shut down.

Quite honestly I think the women are seriously jealous of her bewbs and looks (especially Megan; Ashlie really shouldn't be because she's quite pretty). Kate might be kind of an airhead but she's right on target with a lot of her ideas. They should really start listening to her. You'd think they would after she's been right three times AND Slowey seems to favor her.

I think Cologne was prettier than Kate. I do agree that Kate knows what she's doing (other than the way she dressed when they started), but who would want to work with her? Even if that is her reaction to being ignored--I can imagine that there are a lot of times that an editorial assistant (or whatever) gets ignored or mistreated, and you have to handle it better than she does. How many decisions is she going to be allowed to make if she gets this job? And she darned well better act like she looooves anything Slowey comes up with.

I agree that Cologne is very pretty, and probably the nicest of the bunch...which is why it's a good thing that she got out of there. Oh and Ashley's quite beautiful too, too bad she's turned into a sheep.

Now as for the working with Kate thing...well, I haven't worked in an office in 20 years, so I have no frame of reference on this. Except the memories (shudders in horror) of the time when I did work in an office...of course, my co-workers weren't always so pleased to have ME around either...;-D

Cologne was pretty, even with those hideous giant fake lashes of hers.

I don't know why, but I understand Kate's personality and would totally work with someone like that. Mostly because she doesn't hide her feelings. It might not be in the most productive way, but I'd personally rather have someone throw a hissy fit and get my attention rather than pull a Megan and completely check out of the project.

Naturally I'd prefer someone who goes about that sort of thing in a more mature way, but if I had to work with her, I don't think I'd have much of a problem. She only seems to get pissy when no one listens to her.

Dear MandaMo -
Thank you so so much for pointing out Megan's ginormous pimple. I felt like I was being catty all by myself, and we all know that making fun of bitchy, awful people is more fun when you have company.
Smooches,
LAjane

I can't believe Megan doesn't know how to use cover-up. It was so obvious that the thing was naked as the day it was born. Even a little powder would have helped.

Someone might have helped her out if she weren't such a bitch.
