I'm not blown away by any of the designers. I like Kimberly more than I thought I would from the first episode when she was showing her portfolio, but I have to admit that I'm afraid she may have secret taste issues that will start to tell as the season progresses. Those shorts were just a couple inches away from being booty shorts with a leather strap around the bottom. Nobody else really does anything for me.
And I totally agree that many, many of these designers are way too shit don't stink for the level of talent currently on display. Josh and Bert for sure. Anya is a classic secret stank girl and has she actually sewn anything on her own yet? Anthony Ryan is way too high drama and his stuff is middle of the pack at best. Olivier is cute as a basket of kittens and puppies but his designs have not wowed. Embrace some color, for real. The blonde girl just makes ugly clothes that she for some reason thinks are cute. The others are all a blur.
Plus side? Tim looked adorable in jeans and tennis shoes.
A very bad
review of Top Chef Spike's pizza place.
Yes, this is another disappointing season for PR. Bright side?
If a dull, fugly design collection wins? It probably won't have been at the cost of an exciting and beautiful collection
"Sandwich King" is even more obnoxious than I expected it to be.
And I want to reach back in the way back machine to say that I am in awe of the knowledge dropped by megan walker about SYTYCD history with dance counts and just all sorts of fun stuff. Stupid work is keeping me from talking about what's really important in life: dance based reality shows! But I have been enjoying the commentary.
Thanks kat! Your own commentary is always much appreciated.
I finally wrote up both my
analysis and my sort-of-random awards.
Hah, love your "best judges comment" and the fact that there's a runner-up best bird. :)
New TAR teams

Including Ethan and Jenna from Survivor and a team of Olympic snowboarders
I saw that they have the new Dancing with the Stars "stars" announced; includes Chaz Bono and Carson Kresley (sp?). The controversy has begun.
I seem to recall reading something about Nancy Grace as well.
Man, I shouldn't watch Just Desserts. It makes me want to eat cake ALL THE TIME.
