I Tivo, then watch. I watch the challenge, Tim's critique, the runway, the judges look at the outfit (but not the deliberation after) and the result. Takes about 20 minutes. I used to watch the makeup section, but after Makeup Bear left, I skip it.

Planet Earth II trailer. So soothing.

PR: I'm just as far as shopping at Mood in the latest episode, but I wanted t say I really like this pitching to the judges as investors angle. I think Team Button Bag way low-balled their price point.

And now I'm kind of wrung out. This team challenge ended up being pretty damn emotional.

It was, and I was sad at who went home, but I really thought it was striking that there wasn't a lot of drama on the teams while the collection was being put together. That seems so unusual for a team challenge on PR.

Right? I was really hoping Tim would use his save, which I am generally against, but the losing team all having each other's backs like that was so moving.

To be honest, I can't remember any of Alex's designs now, but I really enjoyed his personality.

The winning team, too, actually. That the three strongest designers each got two "endorsements" and no one said they themselves should win - very nice.

I totes thought Tim was going to use his save. I wouldn't have been mad at that. This was one of the better team challenges in terms of designer behavior if not in terms of overall output. (I didn't really care for either team's collection and I thought Erin's coat was straight up fugly) I'm super happy with this batch of designers. Laurence and Roberi are my faves. Erin, well, I appreciate her but her design aesthetic is just not my jam. I love Tasha and Mah-Jing as personalities, but I don't think either one has the chops to win PR. Corey wears me out. I wish he'd skeedaddle on home, but I don't hate him. I haven't watched a full season of PR in many, many moons, but this one is on my DVR now!

I'd agree with those assessments, although I do like Erin's Bright Yellow is Awesome thing. I didn't love her coat, but I did like Tasha's skirt with Laurence's jacket a whole lot, and that was the same fabric, right?

I want to root for Brik from Baton Rouge, but he's just not much of a designer. Tasha's from Shreveport, though, and I do like her stuff, though not as much as I like her personal style, maybe. Dexter, though, I'm loving Dexter. And Roberi had at least two designs that I loved that didn't get critiqued, just safe. I don't know about Rik overall, but that swimsuit and coverup were totally my cup of tea.

Rik is all over the place as a designer. I really enjoyed his bathing suit and cover up, but he also made that lace up skirt that was too tacky for Heidi. When you are too tacky for Heidi, you know something has gone horribly horribly wrong with your design. I love Dexter the person, but I haven't been wowed by anything he's made. I just feel badly for Brik because he seems so sweet but he's really not on the level of the rest of the designers in the group. I will be glad to see him go home. The little latina girl has not made any impression on me other than that she is Corey's friend.
