PR: It KILLS me to listen to Michael Kors looking for less commercial on the runway.

i'd heard spoilers that Josiah didn't make it, but i was really hoping they were wrong. especially when it came down the last two. i don't think either of them deserved that spot. it was crap.

at least my new boy, Michael Johns, made it.

I LOVE the PR twist. Love it! Although, I could happily have lived with Rami being auf'ed after yet another draped dress.

And I know he's a puffy sleeve making, skinny black pants lovin' fool, dammit, I love Christian! I thought his outfit was fierce and showed the strongest editorial vision. Princess worked it the hell on out. Two snaps up.

He is young and somewhat annoying, but amazingly talented. Loove him.

Exactly what kat just said. Exactly.

I did not like the twist. Just take out Rami. He should have been gone.

See, I really thought neither Chris nor Rami brought it tonight. Both of them were very limited, doing things that they had success with in the past. I would've been fine with Rami's auf'ing and Chris being in a final 3 situation, but I fully recognize that is just because I truly dislike Rami. Based on the merits of this challenge they both failed for amazingly similar reasons - repeating themselves and lack of vision.

The sad thing is that I think Rami has a good shot at pumping out three pieces that are more to the judges liking than Chris. (Totally unspoiled speculation here)

I was with the guest judge...it was reminiscent, but Christian has done so many reminiscent things all along and that was a great dress. I just feel like outside the person who clearly did a BAD JOB, the others have been just as guilty as Chris in terms of referencing previous work (e.g. Jillian and the fucking coats).

Rami is the one who just didn't listen to the judges comments and should have been gone. They explicitly told him to stop it.

Eh, wasn't crazy about the dress (either one). But I'll be sad if Rami makes it to fashion week, because Chris is a sweetie and I would love to see him show.

I don't have high hopes for the reunion show because with the exception of Christain and Chris (maybe Jack, but he was gone so quickly), this was a really boring cast.

In AI news, I agree that this season's cast looks strong. For the ladies, I really like Carly, I like the blonde nanny, I like the nurse/rocker chick (though she could get old fast), I like Asia'h. For the boys, I am in love with Danny Noriega, though I fear what America will do to him. Like Danny Hernandez quite a lot. I liked Chikeze(?) from the audition rounds but we barely saw him at all during Hollywood week. I am not a fan of the 16 year old boys on the show, but I saw a Youtube clip of David Archuleta singing "And I Am Telling You" to Kelly Clarkson in some hotel lobby and I was completely won over. Damn 16 year olds. He is gonna break my heart, I just feel it.

Although some liked him, I was sooo glad that Josiah didn't make top 24. I was already through with him and his faux Brit accent, and his crying jags, and his non-singing singing.

There were also a lot of "Who dat?" (half the boys) and crap people (almost all of the interchangeable blonde girls save the nanny) who got through. And was I dreaming or was that the Amazing Grace girl dropping it like it was hot during the ending dance montage? Because damn, I thought we were at the Playa's Club for a second.

Josiah - he reminds me of that crying girl who lost it in front of Sanjaya. He just cries and cries and cries.

True dat. Complete with the weird facial expressions.

In the abstract, I am sad for him because it sounds like he's gone through a tough patch of late. But I don't need that up in my idol.

There was a really pretty, pretty boy who made it through (Luke maybe?). Why couldn't we have spent weeks getting to know him rather than hanging out with Josiah and his car?
