It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What about Perry? He blew me away.

Because books.

What about Perry? He blew me away.

SO much yes. He had so much fun! And he and Casey looked damn good doing it.

I think this is the slashiest reality show I've ever seen. I approve. The boys should be in eyeliner every week!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

PR:

RICKY? SRSLY???

I mean, for once his dress didn't suck, but come on. I guess my next question is how long has he been sleeping with Michael Kors? Because I have no other logical explanation.

Victorya's coat was embarrassing and I'm not sorry to see her go.

Christian's look was awesome, but agree with Vortex that it wouldn't have looked good on anyone curvier than his model.

Sweet P has consistently been creating the most wearable looks for the past few challenges. They're not the most innovative or exciting, but I always kind of go "Huh. I could wear that."

Chris' dress was just odd. It was like he made a perfectly nice cocktail dress and just started sewing random bits of fabric onto it.

Rami's dress was my favorite - you could see his talent for draping in the shaped neckline, but it didn't look like something off a Grecian urn for once.

Jillian, whatever. Her coat from last week was amazing enough that I'll let this one slide, but it just didn't fit. And I'm not sure why she made it a coat at all - why not keep the basic shape/concept and just make a dress?

which is 97% of women. Hell, I'll even say 99%

This, this! It's not just hoyay, it's hoHELLyay! And the Perry/Casey photo shoot was insanely hot (and I'm not even really a Casey fan b/c most of the time I think he looks like he could use a good shower). And they were so cute on the runway with the finishing each other's sentences and the salty goodness. That was some quality show last night.

I think Ronnie is going to get his heart broken a little bit. Poor baby.

Oh god yes. And the runway bit was classic. I am officially a Perry Fangirl.

I loved their riffing on "the awkward conversation" both before and after the shoot: "So, did you watch the game yesterday?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So cute and awesome!

I realized that Jay reminds me of a guy I went to high school with, who was definitely not considered attractive, so that explains why I've thought he was so inexplicable on this show from the start.

PR confusion: There's no episode this week, so if they eliminate one person on Feb 6, that would leave them with 5 people in the running when they film the finale at Bryant Park on Feb 8. Hmmm. [link]

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. That is weird.

PR: I loved Sweet P's dress. She was the only one who did anything interesting with the material colors. And why did everyone leave all the white up on the line? Anyway, I guess it doesn't help for Ricky to win, he cries anyway! Hee. I liked the concept of Christian's look, but not the execution. Although he was apparently the only one who gave much thought to the existing work and tried to expand on that.

MMaSM:

hoHELLyay!

Needed to be said again. Ben totally is a slut, isn't he? Hot, and total slut. His poor wife on the phone, all, "...I know." It must be so weird for it to be happening livetime. There's almost no way for there not to be meta on the phone calls.

Ronnie is completely my favorite. He's adorable! And smitten. Poor boy. No way that's going to end well.

Perry & Casey! Hee! Those pictures were blazing. I love that they were so game.

Should have been Frankie instead of Holly in the bottom three, but other than that, they were right. It's tough for Holly because last episode they cut her hair and she was already not feeling sexy. Then they paired her with Frankie, and while it was clearly her problem at the shoot, it couldn't have been the easiest person to work with.
