Really?
Interesting.
I watched The Taste last night and found it enjoyable. I think that the blind taste test is an excellent idea.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

PR, this season goes to 11: The "team" business doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would - as a sort of focused feedback thing, I can see the value. I don't love any of the clothes this week, but a lot of the runway looks are interesting, at least.
Zac Posen looks about 12. I don't have a sense of him as a judge, yet.
Aw, Nina, you have seen looks that were less finished than that. Don't lie.
In conclusion: I guess I will keep watching. Though I still wish it was an hour and not 90 minutes.

-t, that's why I watch on Tivo delay, I can fast forward through the garbage like watching the designers get ready or talking shit about the other designers during meals.

I do that, too! It just bugs me that there's that much bloat. Although, to be fair, it does make it a good show to have on when I'm doing something that will keep me from paying attention - I know I can just make sure I see the runways and not be concerned about missing anything else.

Because books.
I'm missing Michael Kors already. Zac Posen is sweet, but too sweet.
I do want the team challenges to be more ... teamy. A cohesive collection, for example, not just eight separate looks. Something where they'll have to work together creatively more, and not just encourage or support each other.
The one who went home had that over-confident edit from the first moment, so it wasn't much of a surprise, either. I won't miss her. There are a few people who impressed me, though, but I'd have to look up their names. I hate the beginning of the season when you don't really know anyone yet.

There's just too many to keep track of at this point. Once a few more are gone and I've seen a few more designs I'm sure I'll have favorites.

I have no idea who anybody is yet. I did enjoy it more than I thought. Now, are the teams as they stand going to be permanent or will they be changing week to week?

YAY RuPaul's Drag Race is back.
Boo there only seems to be one commercial - a PSA about safe sex with Avenue Puppets. "Do you want to come up and see my glass figurine collection?" "You mean have sex?" "Bingo!"
Pretty soon I'll have the whole thing memorized.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Finally caught up with Face Off. I love that show so much. It's wild with the one winner, though. But I can't say I'd argue with the choices.

Right? He seems like a nice guy, too.
