It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Is it wrong that the goth in me loves loves loves that Amelia got to dance to both The Cure and The Creatures? Yeah, I kinda love that. Makes me wonder how/when music selection occurs...or if it's just a really bizarre coincidence that (so far) all the music by seminal goth musicians has been performed by the only female dancer who clearly doesn't visit a tanning booth.

Also, I'm totally prejudiced towards Eliana because she reminds me of my favorite cousin. I still can't always differentiate btwn the 2 blond ballroom girls.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes! There is a "real woman" challenge EVERY DAMNED SEASON. He should have been prepared.

Aside from gross Ven and his poor client, I kind of like the fact that Heidi reps for the fact that models are real women, too.

Also, and I know this has been said, how on earth do these people think they are going to have a career if they can only make clothes for sizes 00 to 4??

He doesn't feel awful. He's just bucking for fan favorite. Which he was never going to win.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah I am not sure if that apology is sincere. I think he is sorry he looks like a jackass. Not for the views he holds.

Oh yeah, I have no doubt it's bs, but I can't believe it took three days for someone to get it into his head.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I really liked some of Ven's work, but he is such an insensitive jerk, that I hope he goes down and out soon.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

at this point I think he is concerned (rightfully) that he may be jeopardizing his ability to find work in the industry. Who would want to work with him? His work is decent, but it isn't at Christian's level.

Exactly. Who would want to work with someone so rigid and unwilling to expand his repetoire? In the beginning, you have to do what you're told and he is clearly incapable of that.

He's not sorry for what he did, he's sorry that people don't like him for it.
