I just started watching, and am just excited they went to Surprise! Surprise! and Garden of Eden! I know those stores!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
I just really don't want to see another unconventional materials challenge this season. Or maybe ever.

It seems like every other one has been unconventional materials. It is enough.
I honestly couldn't see a huge difference between the winning and losing teams.
I thought it was just me.

The losing team did look less finished to me, although I didn't think Alexandra's was actually bad.
I really liked the team with the red theme.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm willing to believe that unconventional materials look very different up close vs on TV, but still...they ALL looked arts-and-crafts-y to me. I was really surprised to hear Heidi say the judges were blown away.

With the dried cranberries? I liked those details.

I liked the white set way better than the winners, and thought the actual winning dress was inches too short in the bodice. She couldn't stand up straight!

I think it's just because everyone still remembers this and other unconventional fiascoes. But seriously, fabric from Mood from here on out, please??

I actually appreciate reading Tom & Lorenzo saying it was just Jeremy's turn to win. It somehow makes me feel better if no one thinks he won on the merits?? [link]

I did think there was no way they would give it to Bradon again, because his win last week was so special.

The sparkly ones? (I loved that "Nina Garcia will say silver isn't a color" comment, that was funny) I thought they had the best treatment of the materials they used, but I didn't love the designs they made out of them.
I'm just meh on all of them, which seems like it ought to be better than hating some of them, but is less entertaining for me.
