Thanks for the recap,
sg-dub. I missed the last couple of shows. I am glad Chris won too. I guess its safe to say there will be no The Cut 2.

I did watch this show for the comedy.

Once again J-Whore (La Lopez) shows up and sounds idiotic. She loves to say 'you know what I mean', 'you know what I'm saying?' in her ghetto accent. I cannot believe this trash has a lifestyle brand, what is it? A fat assed nasty diseased whore who got famous by blowing powerful men?... "Don't be fooled by the rocks I got, Jenny still sucks my cock" - Tommy Motola

Her brand consists of whore clothes for teenage girls and stanky perfumes.

Other than J-Sluts disgusting display, I liked this show, it was dumb, and HalFiger looked like an evil bug.....Glad Chris won, I thought for a second it would be Felix...

Those hats belong on a monkey on a tricycle, and one hat in 20 fabrics is still one DEE-sign. Also ... isn't one of the first thing you're taught when you begin to learn some manners that it's rude to wear a hat indoors? I think Chris is a charmless, talentless, self-aggrandizing moron. Congratulations, Tommy. What a waste of time and money.

I have never been so happy to take a show off my DVR list! "The Cut" was so lame that the NY Daily News had revealed a couple of months ago that Chris won, and no one seemed to care. Can you imagine if they had revealed the winner of any "real" show?

I watched every episode (except the one that never aired out here in LA) and I loved every single one, god dammit. Wes, Deanna, Chris, Felix, Princess made for great casting. The contests were dumb and derivative, but I watch for the participants.

TVGASM should have assigned a writer who actually enjoyed the show. I'm not saying you have to be a cheerleader, but there has to be a little more balance. Otherwise, it became hard to read the recaps.

downtown la la -

I'll be the first to admit that I was a bit too negative throughout my recaps. Hey, that's the difference between us big city East Coasters and you LA folk. We're haters and we can't help it.

2 things: If this show was any good, it would have stayed in a solid time slot - not Friday nights. And also, you probably didn't see "Project Runway," an infinitely better cast, better produced, more creative fashion competition. I'll be recapping that show (12/7 premiere) and my tone will assuredly be different.

I promise. (Heidi Klum vs. Tommy Hilfiger... hmmm.)

I watched every minute of every episode. At times I wanted to stop, but I just had to see it through to the end.

Tommy made the right choice. I think Liz is the best by far, and I liked almost everything she did, so it makes sense that Tommy would not pick her since I hate his clothes. (Sorry, Tommy.)

Chris needs to ditch those god-awful hats! But I am happy for him.

man, CBS was flogging that J-lo thing like crazy. And she ends up showing up for 30 seconds, plugging her crappy clothes, and leaving. And I bet HAL finger had to promise her free clothes for a lifetime.

Princess just loved the fact that her glass buttons were from france. THey arent just buttons MR. Hilfigger, they are glass buttons from FRANCE. Because French glass crap is on a whole nother level from us.

You're soooo right that Project Runway is soooo much better than this crappy show so i thought the negativity in your recaps was justified. You really can't even compare the two. Although being an east coaster is still no excuse for being negative! The only thing i didnt like about your recaps was all your stupid gay comments since most of the people that watch this show are queer! So if you're gonna make gay jokes then make sure that they're at least funny!

Hey,

Thanks for the reply, SG-dub.

I did watch Project Runway. Loved it. Tivo'ed it. Told all my fellow homosexuals about it. Just like that show, I loved how it was very gay positive and ethnically diverse. Nothing against straight white men, but occassionally it's nice to have a bunch of diverse candidates to root for and not just a token Latino or token fag.

Oh, and for the LA/NY thing, I moved out to this cesspool called LA from the greatest city on the planet, so I can hate with the best of them!

Thanks for putting in the time. Looking forward to your recaps on Project Runway.

Grifter/Downtown -

I agree (I think) with both of you. I've certainly made some lame jokes involving gay references (Sorry about the Boy Scout uniform one, Grifter) but I'm pretty comfortable with my liberal cred. I, too, hate when these shows cast an over-the-top caricature like Tommy from The Cut or Beau from BB6. Why give Joe Redneck someone to point at their TV and say, "Look at the funny homo!" It burns me up - and as you've both correctly assumed, yes, I am a straight WASP male.

I LOVED Project Runway (as you'll read in my Golden Gasms comments - in fact, I should write in Tim Gunn for best reality host) and very much look forward to recapping it and bringing more fans on board. The Cut had promise and a huge budget, but they veered too far from what the show should have been.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to email me to continue the conversation, since I don't want to hijack the comments section!

sg-dub - feel free to hijax the boards, I heartily enjoy reading anything you have to say.

Thanks for all the great recaps of "The Cut". I too am one of those people who followed this silly show from night to night just to see what weird task they would get.

I thought Liz had the best window - but her clothes were a little boring. I think it's a shame Tommy didn't look back on the whole experience and weigh his decision (or should I say DEEcision) on cumulative efforts. It seemed to me he just went with the results of the one task. I guess it didn't hurt that Chris was the best overall asskisser.

The one and only omission you made on recapping this episode was that when Princess bragged to Tommy that she can cut and sew he jibed at her that he had a room full of people who can do that. I thought that finally put her in her place.

sg-dub, you're a male? For some reason, I always thought you were a female. I try to pick up on clues from recaps and I thought you had made some references in the past that made me think of you as a tough NY broad. Hmmmm....

I loathed Princess, no style and all mouth. Plus every episode she mentioned wanting to be the first well-known black fashion designer. The thing is, there already is a well-known black fashion designer, Tracy Reese. She's based in NYC. Maybe Princess didn't know about her b/c Tracy makes very pretty clothes rather than the dreck that Princess turned out show after show.

I was hooked into this one too for some reason even though in the end, after Wes and Deanna got kicked off, I was sort of hoping they all drowned in the East River.

I guess it's safe to assume there won't be a second series?

I loved this show because it reminded me of the movie Working Girl. Contestants were asked to do absurd and impossible things in a small amount of time with no sleep. Most of the tasks had absolutely nothing to do with clothing design. I enjoyed the humiliation and domination. "Carry a mannequin around the city design slaves." When Tommy told contestants to step into the pit and they fearfully did, all the while with fawning worship in their eyes, now that was kinky! Will Tommy keep Chris C. as his design slave/whipping boy beyond the year? Will Chris C. ever be taken seriously after being seen on this show? How often will Tommy demand Chris C. construct beautiful outfits for Allie and her friends out of NYC trash? I wish there was a show that documented Chris' experience working for Tommy this year.
