I love FaceOff, but I don't like Hot Set as much.

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

The work is poor quality on Hot Set. I still watch it, but the final product is just so-so. I think they need to give them more time.

FaceOff: I didn't understand the judges this week. The challenge included an exaggerated feature, and then they complained about all of the exaggerated features.

The video game character one? I guess they were differentiating between exaggeration that worked and what didn't but I'm not sure i always agreed with them.

I think Laura is, in general, my favorite. I really like everything she's done.

I haven't gotten to the judging part of the little kids challenge yet, but I love the idea so much! I hope all the finished makeups are good.

Yeah, I'm always behind that show. Too many shows in one night. I guess their criticism would have made more sense if their criticisms were more than just things were "too big".

Even the one that won had something that was "too big", iirc. I usually like the judging, but their reasoning was a little hard to follow on that one.

I do hate that every week they do the same "...the winner is" cut to commercial. Even knowing it's coming it annoys me.

I decided not to watch Hot Set because what they show of the finished work in the commercials is not very exciting. Sounds like that was the right call.

Because books.

Project Runway: Wow, Zoe Saldana is serious about judging. She's not pulling punches at all.

She has some opinions, huh? She does always look great on the red carpet. I wish I could get a better look at her shoes.

I have to say, saying "When it doubt, don't go there" and "We can't see her, we can just see the clothes" as criticisms for an avant garde challenge seems weird.

It bugs me that the judges didn't really address how none of the looks were actually avant-garde.

Poor Sonji. It's hard to see people go at the end when you like everybody.
