I just really don't want to see another unconventional materials challenge this season. Or maybe ever.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Is anyone else still watching Top Model? I saw the first couple episodes of this new season (boys vs girls!) and, well, it's not any better than I expected. Though watching for the non-modeling parts might be more fun than in seasons past. The modeling parts are RIDICULOUS. (Plus apparently all the guys have to do is stand there and smolder...the girls have to do a lot more booty tooching and all)
