I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Tim's Take was interesting this week. He didn't think Ricky should've won either. Actually, it seems like he didn't even really like Ricky's look. And he thought Christian's look was fierce. I love being on Tim's side.

Huh. Project Rungay said a couple of months ago that they'd seen a pre-season interview with Tim in which he said that there'd be one episode in particular that would piss the viewers off -- that they'd see what they, and he, knew to be a losing design that would then go on to win, and that when the loser-winner designer got his win he said (but not on camera), "No one's more surprised than I am." I wonder if he was talking about this, or if there's something truly awful coming up.

I'm hoping it's this - apparently they did some crazy editing to get that "it's stunning" remark from him.

Still, I'm willing to bet he went too far for the Levis lady.

Also, they had planned to sell the item limited edition. Christian's outfit would not have sold. If you weren't a size 2, that would not have looked good on you at ALL.

Rami may be something of an ass but Baby Rami??? One of the cutest things ever!

Ricky's dress was BOR-ING. Not as much of a mess as the rest of his stuff but nothing to write home about at all. And really kind of tacky.

Baby Rami was adorable.

I noticed when they were leaving for somewhere en masse that Rami and Sweet P were walking together and he had his arm around her shoulders - so clearly they are friends despite the mess of a team they made.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The only reason I can see Ricky's dress as winning is that it would be easier to mass produce than the other top condenders. Still wrong - if that was a consideration, it should have been emphasized up front.

Absolutely. Didn't they do that for a challenge in Season 1? The Banana Republic one?

And how did they not know he was gay from that pre teen pic? No straight boy poses like that.

Sigh. Jay's Chrysler Building dress, which should have won.

I actually thought of Jay when they started this challenge. There used to a skirt on his site that I loved. (I would link to a picture but I can't find it now.) For some reason, I was thinking that someone should make that skirt in denim.

I also thought of Jeffrey when I saw Rami's zippers.

Two weeks in a row that I have like Sweet P's outfit. It's shocking.

ETA: Or is it three? Was the prom challenge three weeks ago?
