    Aw, he referenced cubicle buddies. :) I miss my old cubicle buddies.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    You got to see some though didn't you, Claire?
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    Good evening to all - I may not be here for the whole show, but it's great to be live-blogging in 2008.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I find it interesting that these contestants aren't keeping the same models. In previous seasons, it was more like the designers got to know their model and size, etc.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Hi Tom!

    Claire- this season is all over the place in any number of ways.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Poor Tim! Having to wake them all up.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    So so true, Jennifer.

    (I didn't get to see as many cubemates as I wanted.)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I KNEW Elisa would be into it!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Jennifer, also, I bet you're right about Elisa being good at this. (I'm hating Christian's 'tude already.)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Have they had breakfast yet? :)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    They have a lot that's not edible. That will make it a little easier.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Them carrying that shit out is hilarious. I hope they could cab back!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I wonder how warm it is and how much will melt!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Was the Hershey's lady a robot?
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    I enjoy Twizzlers.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Her teeth were very white.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I like Twizzler's too. They're like thick flavored wax.
  • Jim Tourtelott · 1 year ago
    Twizzlers does not bode well as a fashion choice.

    However, it appears that Kit is cute as a pistol at six in the morning.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    They need to be strawberry. The cherry ones taste like medicine.

    FYI- Brando will be MIA due to work. He'll be here next week.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I could totally go for a Reese's Cup.

    But, gotta stick to my New Year's resolution! It hasn't even been a day yet.
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    Yeah, it's the texture, no doubt.

    The Times Square Hershey store was a total rip-off - they should have jumped on I-78 and gone out to Hershey, PA for the full deal.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I can't wait to see Elisa in action.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Tom, you crack me up. I like Twizzlers, too. I think that our laid back friend is going to find the licorice treat difficult though.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I love the Hershey wrapper skirt!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    You wear food on the inside, silly people!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    OH MY GOD re: Elisa's story.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Well, I guess we know why Elisa has a different take on life.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    OH MY GOD re: Christian's annoying personality.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    YAY!!! Off him, indeed!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    LOL @ people killing Christian.

    I'll join in!

    His style will...die.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Ok folks, when will Ricky cry?
  • Jim Tourtelott · 1 year ago
    Anybody else feel vaguely guilty after hearing Elisa's backstory?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Yes...
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    LOL! A maxi-pad!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oh, I do, Jim. I blame the producers a little, too, for continually playing up her kookiness in the beginning, too. As if she was an alien and not someone with massive head trauma in the near past.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    She's screwed and she still sounds overly-mellow!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Does anyone else ever wonder when they tape the talking heads?
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    Yeah, that wacky head trauma victim - the yucks just keep coming!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I meant Jillian is screwed. The way that comment fell made it sound like Elisa.

    You're right, Claire, the producers did that.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I know! Jillian, get upset!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    My New Year's resolution is to be able to wear a coffee filter by Valentine's Day.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I always feel sorry for people when they mess up!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    It might be easier to wear a maxi-pad, BG...
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    tranny mess up. :)
  • Tom Watson · 1 year ago
    I dunno, I thought the Twizzler bodice looked quite tasty.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Or did he say, tranny dress up?
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Victorya's looks a tad bland compared to the rest.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Elisa's sleeves look like chicken roasting bags.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    You're right about the sleeves. I'm curious to see all these dresses. I like the variety.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I like the Twizzler one!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I like the one that's all made out of paper, too.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    It looks fun. I wonder if it will hold up.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Ricky hasn't even cried yet.
  • Jim Tourtelott · 1 year ago
    I don't think much of Christian or his outfit.

    By the way, Michael made a terrific dress out of coffee filters as his first dress last season, so how bad is it for Sweet P
    s skirt to look like coffee filters?
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Christian is such a snot. But, I liked the way he said, "She looks like a hot mess."

    lol.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Oh that's right, Michael did! That was the first episode, right?
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Ricky TOTALLY teared up when he chose his model. That counts.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    SHUT UP! ZAC POSEN!!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Victorya's looks like Victoria's Secret or a Stepford Wife.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I thought the Twizzler Dress was way ill fitting.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Zac's been on before.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I know, but I love him.

    Poor Elisa.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Oh great, Elisa will be booted on the episode they tell her sad story.

    I hope Victorya goes.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    That's so what they do, Jen. I was worried as soon as they told us. (They did the same with Jack.)
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Go Chris! But Rami will totally win. And Zac Posen SO wants him.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Yeah, I'm thinking Rami as well.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Sweet P should have stayed with her original and ignored Christian to start over.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I agree.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I feel bad for Elise, but I think she's out.
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I would totally wear Chris's dress. I thought it was great.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Yep.
  • Jim Tourtelott · 1 year ago
    I figure Rami wins and Sweet P is leaving, but I'd boot boring and bitchy Victorya..
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I'd eat Jillian's dress! :)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    I'd LOVE to see Victorya go!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I think those were Cherry Twizzler's though!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Well, if they're cherry, then no way! :)
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Oh crap. Victorya stays.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Well, I guess that writing was on the wall...
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Oh, poor Elisa. Sweet P keeps squeaking through.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    I ended up really liking Elisa.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Maybe we should call her Squeak P!
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    Lots of Ricky tears next week!
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Ricky cries next week!!!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    I ended up really liking Elisa.

    Me too.

    "As it should be." That was sweet how she said that.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Thanks for stopping by everyone!

    I'm off. I've got an early morning of jury duty tomorrow. Gack.
  • Claire Helene · 1 year ago
    See you all next week!
  • blue girl · 1 year ago
    Good luck, Jennifer. Be fair and balanced!
  • Jim Tourtelott · 1 year ago
    Elisa was oddly endearing, in a way last season's space cadet with the rosettes--was her name Angela?--never was.
  • Linda Young · 1 year ago
    Type your comment here.
    I have been worried about this season's contestants. I really had not seen anything that should glorify any of them as designers,untill the Hershey challenge. I think they all presented themselves well in this challange, and perhaps they are stepping up the game as they all need to do.
  • Jennifer Krentz · 1 year ago
    Jim- you're right, Elisa was more endearing whereas Angela, although "innocent" as well, was more biting, but then I don't know if that was because she was so defensive against Jeffrey.

    Linda- they did do well in this challenge. I'm hoping the competition is ratcheted up a few notches. This group supposedly had more experience than any former group, but there haven't been a lot of wow factors yet.
