    Jennifer, I completely agree with your assessment of the show, the contestants, even Tim. (Though not Stella.) I think that everyone involved seems over it.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I only chose Stella because she seems like she's done her time and definitely has a point of view. Although I don't care for what I've seen so far, I do think she's "authentic" whereas Blayne... oh well...
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Claire- Brando will be AWOL again this week. He said he'll be back the week after next.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Just you and me. We should work on a version of "I've got you babe."
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Why did Suede just talk about himself in the third person? Have I been blocking this out? Who does he think he is? Bob Dole?
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Suede's 3rd person conversations are getting really old.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Okay, I kind of remember that, but I definitely blocked it. It's not good if I'm blocking things like that already.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Bob Dole! LOL!

    Suede's been doing it constantly.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Seeing Tim in that trench coat just gave me flashbacks of Michael Caine in Dressed to Kill!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    <3 Michael Caine.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Blayne, this isn't about going dancing. If you wanted to go dancing, there are several other reality shows, including at least one on Bravo.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I wonder if anyone will use a cardboard box for a design.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    BWA-HA-HA!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I tell you, Blayne is there to become the next Paris Hilton and not the next hot designer.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Yes.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh god, we can't have a THIRD contestant use the Chrysler bldg as inspiration. It's great and all, but here's to hoping.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    If they use the Chrysler bldg, they could use a Saudi Arabian influence.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Stella could work that camera if it were made out of leatha!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Too bad Stella didn't see the leatha sex shop!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Oh, that would have been perfect.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    The eldest lamblet is doing an Uli/Stella impersonation... "I live in hot leatha, I love hot leatha!"
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Hahahaha!!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    My mom isn't watching, I think she's bored with the season already. I think I might be!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    There could be hope yet... could be.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Natasha did not get a snazzy Mood bag when she bought fabric there! :)
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Okay, I just told this to my aunt over the commercial break. I get making a new persona for yourself, but I find it lame when your new persona is lame. (Ahem, SUEDE.)
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    She was robbed.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Leanne is going to do another variation on Peter Pan collars. Did you see the arcs in that planter!?!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Haha! Jinx!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh dear, the librarian type is putting flaps everywhere again. Do they EVER LISTEN?
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    They all went pretty abstract, don't you think? I know the judges don't want them to be too literal, but I wonder if they'll get slammed for merely using abstract color palettes.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh god, there are so many nasal, flat voices.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    There are a lot. I was just thinking that if I'm listening and not watching the screen, they kind of lull me to sleep.

    The EL just said, "Hey, have you noticed they all kind of sound alike?"
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Remind both the lamblets how much I love them. :)
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    The feeling is mutual, I'm sure.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I say we keep a count for how often Stella says, "Leatha!!"
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Or do shots?
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    We'd be long gone before the show was over...
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    That might not be bad. :)
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    We need mrstrailerco to come back.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Yes!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    I'm watching So You Think You can Dance at break, and I have to say, I'm sad I'm not watching that. It's fun and has energy.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I haven't watched that, but know a number of people who are. We could use some fun and energy... and LEATHA!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    It's upbeat, the kids are awesome dancers, the host has really shiny hair (which is always a plus, she's great, actually) and the judges aren't that annoying. Great, great dancing. And no one sings. :)
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    The ruffles are BAD. Very bad.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    That last dress looks like a Carmen Miranda dress.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh god! Tim! Holla!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Yes, freaky wrong!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    So wrong. Don't f with Tim, Blayne. People will get you.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh, Keith, I worry about your point of view.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I cannot see Stella in chaps and Lollypop Guild tights one more time!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Really? She seems so one note. LEATHA!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    The mousy one in yellow reminds me of my cousin. Which is just a random aside.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Hmmmmm.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    There are some really intense looks in this challenge. I see a lot of look, but not necessarily a lot of nice.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Amen to that. I need to see them on the runway, though.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I'm guessing Keith's will be the one that looks like shredded toilet paper.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Hahaha, yes, most likely to be voted "shredded toilet paper."
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    These all look a lot like Mardi Gras!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Blayne's and that other chick's look A LOT alike.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    They do.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I kind of like the arcs...
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Kenley's fabric is BAD. But her model rocks it.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    There seems to be a lot of bad fabric.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    God, I have no idea who is the good in this bunch.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I know, they all seem like they could be at the bottom.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Yes.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    And you were right... Keith needed a different point of view.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    I love Sandra.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Yeah, she's never pulled any punches.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    You called it! Carmen Miranda!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    DEATH BY RUFFLES!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    LOVE THAT!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    That dressed turned out really well. Did you see the look that other woman gave her?! Me-OW!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh, poor mousy one. It's you or Carmen Miranda. Or TP boy.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    That last one was boring.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Emily's looks like it has a large jellyfish hanging off of it.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh, snap! That's good.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Ah! I just realized I thought the last designer was the last model! Oops! I thought the mousy yellow one was the designed outfit.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Haha! That's funny.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    That's what I get for having my computer facing a different direction from the television.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Frank just came in and he's feeling frisky and keeps trying to bite things.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Those dresses probably look like cat toys.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    No! No "Holla at cha boy!" NO!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    I'm SHOCKED that Kenley won. SHOCKED.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    I can't believe she won! Gack!
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Seriously.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    The dress that's hiding a goiter won?!?!
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    So much for jellyfish couture.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    Oh wow! I thought for sure the quiet, nerdy one would be out! I feel like Heidi doesn't like nerds. Maybe Sandra does.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Heidi does indeed have some nerd animosity.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    The judges aren't making a lot of sense to me this season. Less sense than normal.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Well Claire... there's always next week! Maybe they'll regain sense next week and maybe we'll manage to get some of our regulars back.
  • clairehelene7 · 1 year ago
    It's always fun with you, though, J. I wish the show was more fun or I might switch to SYTYCD. :) Just kidding.
  • JenniferK · 1 year ago
    Don't tempt me.

    It's fun with you as well. See you next week.
