Wait, are two people going home this week?
I love Amy's optimism.
Oliver's accent is all over the fucking place. TLo commented about it ep 1 and they were sure right. Gah. He was raised in Ohio and spent years in England. WTF is with his speech patterns? I wish the show would hire a speech coach for him just to get the accent consistent.
Tim is pissed the fuck off. He has had it with every one of them.
That's true, I don't begrudge the winner's win at all.
I just watched the runway again, because it was there, and I like most of the outfits. Even Olivier's makes more sense when it's moving. But what I love is the kid's reactions.
Next week looks kind of nightmarish.
I missed that -- what happens?
I wasn't thrilled with the top looks, either. I didn't get Laura's at all.
Yeah, I think if it only makes sense when you explain it, then it doesn't actually make sense. Not that it wasn't pretty on its own.
I was surprised that Josh(?) didn't win, only because the judges seemed so wowed by it.
Viktor is starting to win me over, although I hated his dress.
They'll be in two teams of five next week. I can't see that going well, not this season.
There was not much to distinguish the top 3 from the safe, uh, five I guess?
This is a big problem this season. And the drama queens are not making it interesting, they are distracting!
I was surprised that Kimberly's or Anya's weren't in the top.
Me too. Those were my two favorites.
There's a new show on Cooking Channel called
Cooking School Confidential
that looks pretty good. It's about different students in Johnson and Wales's program, and it's (refreshingly) documentary style rather than competition or melodrama.
PR: I don't think I've ever seen
such an obvious blowout in a team challenge. From the concept to the execution to the video presentation, the winning team was just amazing.
