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.

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.

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.

Yeah, and reasonably modest, just happy in his work. Which is good, I have to say. And making the editorial decision to scrap when it wasn't working was such a good decision that people often don't make.

I don't remember that. I was pleased that the makeup that was supposed to have animatronic eyes still worked well without them, but that was someone else. What struck me about the winning makeup was something the judges pointed out, that the design could have gone hackneyed witch very easily but the execution made it beautiful and demonic, as intended.

Oh, sorry, that was two episodes ago. I watched them back to back, and lost track.

But yes, I think that one could have won if he'd taken his mentor's advice not to spend too much time on the animatronics. The only hit they took was for the painting, which they knew was a time issue.
