I'm not sure that made any sense. It does in my head but I'm probably not wording it correctly.
It makes sense to me. It was also jarring as a viewer, because usually on reality shows, the personal lives of the people you're watching are only seen to the extent that as they relate to the show/competition. Here that had mostly been true all season, and then suddenly they stepped away from the competition to add in personal lives after the competition was effectively over. The timing of the whole thing was way off.
I also think Ben's marriage is pretty much doomed, and two years from now he's going to be back home, talking about his glory days and growing a beer belly, and that made me sad.
Agree that the dismissal line is lame.
(that was in reference to SiUaD, or whatever acronym we're using)
Did any of you ever watch the hideously boring design show Bravo did? So boring that at the moment I can't even remember the name of the man who was the main draw for the show. Anyway, his dismissal line was "See you later, decorator." I cringed every time it came out of his mouth.
Can someone please explain what a blue steel look is? (In reference to MMaSM)? I keep thinking about the Jamie Lee Curtis movie, and I doubt that's what everyone means.
It's a reference to Zoolander.
It's a reference to Zoolander.
I also think it's the word that's used to describe the color of gun metal. Besides gunmetal, I guess.
Signed,
Knows too many people who paint lead miniatures.

With this show, you were watching your SO have all these adventures while you were alone, which I think would amplify those feelings of being sad and lonely. You're kinda watching the highlight reel and there's no context. Plus there wasn't any adjustment period of having this person back and hearing their side of things.
Yeah, I think that's it, totally. If the person is already back home, you've heard their side before being confronted with whatever images end up on TV, as well as having them right there.

Aw, I still love Jonathan Adler. Love!

Yeah, and I think part of it was that we got to see the familial reunions before the cast members had seen the show. They still didn't quite know how they were being depicted, or what things looked like on the outside. It was just bizarre.
I will say that I did love Ronnie's mom and her, "They're just friends," to Ben's wife. It cracked me up.
I think I adore Ronnie's mom. She just seemed so sweet and concerned about him and supportive.
Ronnie's mom and Holly's fiancee were total rock stars.
I watched some of the marathon of the British MMaSM and I thought the American kids totally blew the brit models away. The vast majority of them were decidedly . . . not that cute. Sad.
Project Runway wants to move to Lifetime.
