"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Half the designers I had absolutely no recollection of, but reviewing T.Lo helped a bit -- I'm pretty happy to see as much more as they want to give us of Mondo, April, and Gordana. And Rami seems to be pushing himself past his endless draping comfort zone, which is also nice.

I like these three also, and Kenley, which I know may not be a popular opinion.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm kind of meh on Kenley as a person, and the thing she did in the first episode was also a bit meh, but over the course of her first season I really liked her designs; whatever she herself does or says, I'm pretty excited to see what she makes this time around now that the unconventional materials challenge is out of the way.

Punishingly Intricate

Kenly's voice bugged (and still bugs) me so much I can't see her clothes!

The only designer I don't really remember was Jerrell. What season was he?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I haven't been watching the Top Chef Last Chance Kitchen or whatever, but I am so glad to see Nyesha hanging in there!

Did she beat Ty? I don't watch the Last Chance Kitchen, but I'm always happy to see her hanging in at the end of every TC episode.

Because books.

Good god, Sweet Pea. You're making it really really hard to root for you this season. That fabric says summer sundress, not opera.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

PR:My favorites were Gordana's and Mondo's, but most of these gowns were gorgeous. I think Anthony accessorized really smartly, whatever the judges say. Their bottom 3 were my bottom 3. Kendall's was also a little prom-ish.

Sweet P's dresses have not looked like what I remember from her season.
