Whatisit is wisping his way amongst the boxes looking for that perfect "masculine" palate, and he settles on a pale beige and a grayish-green colored fabric. Yup, when I think of "manly" the first word that pops into mind is "sage". I think Whatisit is headed for trouble.

Now that they've got enough dusty fabric remnants to set off everyone's allergies, they rush over to the Top Design Showroom's new "green area" to spend $500 and 30 minutes picking out extra crap to jazz up their spaces. You can tell the new "green area" by all the green tags all over everything...

Ahhh, but here comes India Hicks running in to announce that time is up and assembles the designers in a line in front of her. Nasal Natalie is shitting down the back of her Spanx at India's appearance. She explains, "When I see India, I'm pessed because I'm thinking that we're gonna have a 'Pop Design'... and I hate 'Pop Design'!"...

...prolly cuz she pretty much sucks at it, bless her heart...

Nope, it's not a "Pop Design" challenge, although they're about to wish it was. "We want to see if you can handle a bit more pressure!" says India gleefully... as she makes them each hand over their office keys to the person at their right! Oooooh, drama! "You are inheriting the decisions the previous designer made for you in these spaces!" India is all but peeing herself watching the seven of them squirm and look dismayed!

Whatisit is giggling madly as he realizes "I'm-get-ting-Nat-a-lie's-stuff-which-um-just-makes-me-a-lit-tle-bit-ner-vous!" That makes several million of us. Eddieth BunkeRoss, on the other hand, is quite excited that he got Black Eye Nathan's room, because he thinks Natey-boy is an awesome designer. Much to my surprise, I think he's right, Nathan has shown surprising competence when allowed to design to his own aesthetic, and I'm damning him for having stood next to Eddie The Fuckwit... why couldn't Eddie have stood next to Natalie??? Damn!

Oh well, a much less excited bunch of designers exits the studios and heads back over to Cadmus' craptacular building, where they have an hour to meet with each other to find out exactly what kind of design shit they were planning on doing in the first place (and see if any of those ideas can be salvaged).

And immediately there is a kind of ethereal disconnect as SexOndineCity attempts to glean from Whatisit's cotton-candy mind exactly how he hoped to make a masculine office with "a very very very pale sage green... and a cream... and um, to me those are two very feminine colors!" she says...

..."So, you were gonna put the bead curtain on this doorway, and the lace doilies on the desk as... coasters?"...

Ah, quit complaining Ondine, just throw a couple of nudie magazines (printed on recycled paper!) on the coffee table and that'll butch it up some! Besides, Whatisit has drifted over to what was once Nasal Nat's office to listen in mounting horror as she recounts how her client loves "colorful and bold" style. Whatisit is dubious, "Does-she-say-she-liked-*gulp*-ze-bra-print-or-it-was-you?" Nat grimaces and admits "She didn't, that was me." You can tell she's pessed (Nat's version of "pissed") about the whole sitch, natch. Whatisit surprises me with his semi-evil fantasy, "I-was-just-kind-of-won-der-ing-may-be-if-I-could-light-a-match-to-Nat-a-lie's-stuff... I-sup-pose-it-would-n't-be-so-green-but-um-at-least-it-would-bring-more-peace-to-the-world!"...

WisitEvil101208.JPG
...Color me shocked!...And what in the name of Clorox is he using to whiten those teefs?!?...

They cascade down through each other's rooms, Nasal Natalie to Silver Spoon Andrea, Andrea to Eddie BitteRoss (where he and Andrea manage to accidentally break the legs off of Jed Rogen's desk and help everything spill out of it... smooth move, A-listers!) and Eddie on into Black Eye Nathan's office... where they both bandy about non-words like "prit!" (short for "pretty", I guess) and "gorge!" (short for "gorgeous", I guess) and "delouche!" (short for "delicious douche", I guess, which makes sense when applied to Eddie) and they just sound really... well... stupid.

Nathan tells him about his idea to pull up that stanky-ass carpet padding and tack it to the walls, and Eddie interviews that he's definitely going along with that idea... but of course, he can't just leave it at that, can he? "Is it my taste?... No!... They're Nathan's choices." Remember this, because it will be recycled later on in this recap...

itchy:

Don't have time to read all right now, just the opening paras, but I gotta get this off my chest...

My god, that Eddie guy is without a doubt the MOST ANNOYING ASSHOLE EVER TO GRACE REALITY TELEVISION.

I mean, there have been some pretty obnoxiously aweful people on tv, but they usually had at least one redeeming feature, or at least made for good television.

But this guy? My god. And you know what I hate the most about him? His weird mouth/lip thing --it even looks like a sphincter the way it seems to pucker up all the time.

I say we all start a letter writing campaign to the Martha Stewart rag, get his ass canned. But then, they're probably already aware of his...eh....personality.

Snootchy Bootches:

Nooooooo..... bring back my little Wizzit!!! How will I go on without him?!


PS. Eddie is a twat and I hope Nathan gets him without lube for stealing his glory.

yentapatrol:

NOT Whatisit!!

OMG, now I'm really depressed. Sigh!

J-Mo, it's time for you to call in some connections and arrange for Eddie to fall out a window so Whatisit can be brought back.

As always, awesome recap,

Love ya,
Yenta

rubinia:

Thanks for giving me some giggles in the early morning, J-Mo! I liked Wisit but his room was really boring. Nasal Nat will probably be next to go. I actually kind of thought that the fabric colored boards were an interesting idea but it ended up looking like a dorm room. Go Nathan!

Pegster:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I am in a Wisitless funk. I watched the end of this show on my couch, curled in a ball, muttering, "Not my Wisit! Not my Wisit!", over and over again.

And ditto on the Eddie hate. The only good thing about having him on my tv is getting to read the numerous versions of his name I get to read in your recap.

I'm betting his actions are not pleasing Martha. Here's hoping he gets to hit the unemployment line because of his douchienss.

shelleyh:

Shitdick is going to become my new favorite swear word. I've been trying to suppress my giggles in my little corner of the office so people don't look at me funny. And that word does describes Eddie wonderfully. I love how he called Andrea's room shitty when HE picked everything out. Did you see the previews for next week? They show his buttcrack again. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick Bravo, would you stop that! They may be torturing us on purpose cause they think they're funny.

Poor little Wisit. Seriously, that was a great dramatic exit. But yea, his room was worse than Nat's.

You are right about Ondine looking kind of beat up. She doesn't even brush her hair. Every time she's on screen I think to myself "buy a fucking comb!"

juddfan:

OMG, that was awes!!!! Absolu splend!!!! Stupen!!! and you had me laughing like a fool. I, for one, was absolu floored by Eddie's diarys, and the sneering, "Ew, ew, ew" and then dissing the shi out of his client . . . like you say, Jmo, doesn't he realize he's on TV! How could he call Seth's bro a dork, even if he's not as yum as his bro . . . he is just low, but, I dunno, I kind of enjoyed his open c*ntyness, it was like the gloves were off and he wasn't holding back for nothin'!!!

Lame, lame, lame that he didn't credit Black eye, esp with the rug thing, as you say, again, Jmo, ah, isn't paper free more green, that be lots of memo space . . .

I'm thinking Beige Spoons will go next, she's out of her league, like so many have been, but Nat seems to be educated at least . . . that one pic with the blush looks like her head was stripped on, but badly . . . . is it me!?

Anyway, love to the Jmo, and lastly, recycle bins . . . they sooooo don't know a thing about it, ridonk!!!

oldmomoftoddlerboys:

Great recap! Smile at my monitor good. Eddie is a douche.

zbird:

Oh my, JMo! You give good recap my love. I'm cracking up at some of these comments too, especially JuddFan's Absolu splend!!!! Stupen!!!


LOL. You are def awes, J.

Your screencaps completely slay me, especially this one, which is just so, so apt "...I bet Nathan calls this piece "Down With Vaginas!..."

Perf!

I'm gonna miss little Whatisit too. He was so adorable! Eddie Pantyross is such a little douchnozzle! (That's right, I said panty, my most hated word -- that's how much I loathe him). I agree with Pegster that the only good thing about having him on the show is getting to read your hilarious remodelings of his name.

itchy:

Whatzit just made my skin crawl...just too icky for me. J-mo really summed him up for me with this: "Whatisit's cotton-candy mind " --except, I had the feeling that ALL of him was cotton-candy, the nasty end bits that stick to your fingers for the rest of the goddamn day and end up giving you a rash because of all the nasty chemicals in there.

That, and he doesn't really seem to know anything at all about design. Even his drawings were like smoke.

But I don't know if any of these people know anything about interior design -- even's Nathan's office was an ugly cluttered mess.

And since I'm unfettered by any lustful thoughts here (since I'm hetero, and there just ain't no hot girls on this show...well, I liked that weird judge with the funny hats, what happened to her), I can say that all these people suck and it makes me wonder if they're not all tanking their careers.

But I really really really hope that Mister Sniffs his own shit-stained fingers gets canned from his job...

juddfan:

a splen thanks, zbird! Forgot to mention black eye's work of anti-feminist art!!!! Nailed on the head, that one!!!

Also forgot to mention how much I enjoyed the operatic goodbye to Whatsit, hope he gets a job with that, as he left it open for someone to swoop him up!!!! I can't be too sorry he's gone, as he's responsible for the demise of Big Daddy, speaking of lustful thoughts!!!!

skies:

Seriously, Martha Stewart needs to rethink her hiring practices. Eddie is beyond douchiness.

arizonatom:

J-Mo;

"Awes" ... I just LOVE that!

Great recap, as always! You always find the hidden gems that I miss when I watch it.

I am SO sick of Eddie, I could just hurl whenever I look at him. He is the king of granny-panties and granny-design. Maybe he does wonders with Turtle Hill, but he still designs like an old bag, for an old bag (no way am I going to say "lady" for either of them.

Sadly, I do think that Whisit did do the worst job this week. He is funny and cute, but I don't think he has enough talent. Nat's excuse is that she's young, but she still has some kinda-cool ideas - she'll probably up with Andrea to go next week though.

Here's hoping for mor pics of PrettyBoy Preston without his shirt! Can't wait for next week.

Lots O' Love
