Kate goes to join the house meeting and first wants to address Megan. She tells Megan that she makes people feel low on purpose, and she doesn't like that. Megan gets up to leave and calls Kate a victim. AND Megan tells Kate that she has weak character for letting her get to her so much. Wow that's like wife beater mentality. "When I beat you that is your weakness for letting it bother you! You make me beat you!" Please. We've ALL sat through that female empowerment workshop in college, sister. Then Megan tells us that she's eliminated Kate in her mind, which I guess is the "Stylista" way of saying "You are dead to me." Ashlie tells us that she doesn't trust Megan and her evil intentions, and a glimmer of light sparks in my brain with hopes that Ashlie is going to be our hero in this batter of good vs. evil.
The next day our girl Danielle asks Jason how he felt about the meeting the night before. He says that you can't make people like each other, so he just wants to ignore it. This is his dream job, so he needs to focus on that instead of drama. Then he says that he never wants to go up for elimination. If reality tv foreshadowing has taught us anything, it's that Jason is about to cause a HUGE amount of drama and then be up for elimination.
Back at "Elle," there is a mannequin and Fashion Dictionary waiting at the desks of each Stylista. Brett shows up to give the scoop. Last week they learned about personal style, but now it's time to learn about Elle style. Off to the magical Elle closet! The closet is full of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories for last-minute styling needs. But if you dig deeper...if you push back behind the clothes and the coats and the glamour, you'll find a whole snowy world with talking lions and centaurs! It will seem magical at first, but then you'll get caught up in the middle of a deadly war, which we are probably too lazy to help with.
It just so happens that Anne is in a meeting and needs a list of specific items pulled for a fashion shoot. For the assistant task, each trendsetter will need to pull those items and style their mannequins in the bull pin. The assistant who styles their mannequin with the most correct items and puts together the best outfit in 30 minutes will win.
The List:
- Knit
- Woven
- Pin tucking
- Empeeeeer waist
- Set-in sleeve
- Dart
- Funnel collar
All right, gang. Giddy up!
Some people start pulling clothes; others try to consult the dictionary first. No one really knows what they are doing except for Ashlie and Megan in their fight for good vs. evil. Not only do our contestants not seem to know the terms, but they don't know how to get the clothes onto the mannequins. There are arms, legs and mannequin parts everywhere.
The boobs of the girl on the "Elle" wall part and frumpy Anne Slowey enters with an ugly frown. Also, she looks like she's wearing Henry VIII's couch upholstery as a dress. And what's with her muffin top? Is she pregnant? Goodness, I hope she's pregnant. Otherwise, she's wearing the most horribly unflattering dress. She makes a beeline for Perfume who seems to pass the test. But Devin and Danielle fail. And Jason doubly fails. He says that the exchange was stressful as hell, and he felt like he was going to have a panic attack. DUM DUM DUM! The foreshadowing fairy waves it's ugly wand.
Somber Toupee girl Johanna does okay, but her model is missing its arms. And Gay Sidekick asks what pin tucking is. Ashlie tells us again that because her mom was a model, she knows what she's doing. And she does pass the test. But tragically, Megan also passes. Yuck.

Wow...yet another reality trainwreck...they've been scraping the barrel for a couple years now, like they've just run out of interesting and/or halfway talented people to be on these shows.
And Megan is just too obvious to be fun to watch--you know she's just playing to the camera.
I like the one with the perky tits though. Oops.

I'm not sure why I'm watching this show, because I hate shows where I have absolutely no one to root for. I guess I have found the editorial challenges kind of fun to watch (because the "assistant" challenges have been horribly lame.)
I agree with Itchy that Megan is playing for the camera, because apparently it's better to be remembered as a horrible bitch than not to be remembered at all (you know, for all of the ten weeks or so that this thing will last, anyway.) But I suppose it would be better to be remembered as Horrible Bitch than as Crybaby McBooby Supermoron (emphasis on the supermoron part.) In the end, by the Laws of Reality TV, all this ends up adding to: Megan and Kate will stick around for a while. Oh joy.
Poor Jason, I can assume a panic attack must feel horrendous, but nowhere near as horrendous as having the chance to have it televised for an audience of millions(?)
I don't find Danielle or William that endearing. So far they're just Heavy Girl and Guy With An Accent. Maybe once the herd is thinned, some of their personality will come through.

I think Kate enjoys playing victim. It becomes clearer why she's not in law school any longer. One can only imagine her breaking down and having a pity party in a courtroom. Oh the drama.
Megan is a bitch..end of story and probably will be around for a while.

Oh, skies, I agree, anyone who wants that badly to be remembered as a Giant Bitch IS a bitch. Just not a bitch worth paying any attention to.
I love the thought of Kate in a courtroom whining "My cliennnnnt juuuust didn't want to go with my defennnnnnnse! And I HATE it! Booooo hoooooo!"

Ashleigh seems sweet, but what was up with the "you're the most amazing person I've ever met. You're so strong" thing to Jason at the end. Ummm, that guy had a serious panic attack over a magazine page and dressing a couple mannequins. It just didn't make sense to me.

This show is pretty ridiculous, but your recaps are funny! I had to mention one thing though...it's not "bull pin" it's actually "bullpen", but that's ok...I just noticed it in both of the recaps you've done so far, so I thought I would mention it!
