Oh, I loved the little fingerless pocket detail - I stand with my hands like that anyway, and I thought it looked cool. I'd be pissed if there weren't also a real pocket though. I am like Nina in regards to pockets.

I fast-forward through the "Why should you win?" crap, ditto with the "Why should you go to the finale?" BS after the last challenge. Does anyone ever give an answer other than "This is my dream and I've worked really hard"?

I love that fingerless pocket detail, too.

No break before All-Stars! It's reunion show straight into meet the designers next week. Feels rushed.

I like it that way! No waiting, more Runway! Although I do hate that it's missing Tim Gunn.

Joanna Coles turned out to be awesome in her own right, though. It's not her on this next run, but I think I remember liking the new mentor whose name I forget when she was a guest judge a few times, so I'm hopeful.

It does look like at least the first episode is only an hour long, and if they keep that up I will feel much less oppressed by the relentless flow of Runway.

Yeah, I'm not such a fan of the 90 minute format.

glad Eddie is gone.

Was he the last newbie? Also, he's a baby! All things considered, he did pretty well for himself on the show.

There's still whatsername that did the electrocuted musician this week. Lainie! She's the last newbie.

Eddie did do pretty well! And he's not without skills - his tree root Grim Reaper was a nifty idea and well executed - but I'd have sent him home two or three times before now if it was up to me.

Oh yeah, I forgot she was new.

For a minute I thought we were still on Project Runway and I was so confused.

The song at the end of the TAR ep was EVERYTHING.

OMG, yes, le nubian! I normally would be fast forwarding on TiVO, but got caught up, and suddenly...I had it stuck in my head for the next hour or so. Made me giggle.

But I dislike the "To Be Continued"! Even while I wonder if there will be "you didn't do this right" bits coming up--it seemed like at one point it was "pick someone to be the wheelbarrow person", and a couple people traded off? But then Phil didn't say anything to the beards, and I thought they had, so maybe not. Also..OMG HOCKEY GIRLS. LEARN TO DRIVE STICK. I mean, I don't know how, but (a) the person I would do the race with does and (b) I would LEARN if I got chosen.

I'm amazed at the Oklahoma boys because my first reaction when I learned a team didn't know stick would involve a lot of laughter on my part.

I'm wondering about the taxi rides to the fish place at this point. Would love to see what the exact wording on the instructions were.

Plus, the picture of the longhouse left in the rocks. Is that going to come into play next week?
