I've not heard anything about a new Trinny and Susannah show--what channel is it on and when?

It was on right after the new WNTW, i.e., 10pm Friday.

It was a little bit like the non-traditional WNTW's they started to do at the end of their BBC run, where they sort of live with the person a bit. That's the part I don't love. I learned so much about colors and shapes in their early shows, and now there's a lot more psychology to it.

Like the American WNTW, especially recently, it's very unhelpful to my own life.

SuziQ, I thought of you on Friday--this week's WNTW was a woman from Denver!

Yes, she was....I saw that one. That was an amazing transformation too. I'd love to have them do me. My clothes are a mix of "oh, this fits, I hope it looks ok".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank goodness Big Brother finally had a segment about how Jeff is so hot! I was starting to think it was just me.

Man ABDC is not that great tonight. A warning to you all.

The moments I've enjoyed the most had nothing to do with the dancing (the guy from Vogue Evolution being told to stop the meowing noises, and JC being reduced to babbling).

It was a mess. This is one of the times I really don't like their elimination process. The judges said the last two were the best of the night, while some of the "safe" teams got horrible feedback. Even so, they still had to eliminate out of the two best.

Nice to see Southern Movement in something other than matching western wear and straw cowboy hats.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

This is the sorriest group of crews that ABDC has ever had, for sure. I agree with Shane that none of them have done anything yet that made me say "Wow!" And the judges were totally right that the final two crews gave the best performances. In fact, I think Southern Movement was far and away the best of the night, with Massive Monkeys second and Rhythm City third. All the rest of the crews were boring or garbage or both. I'm so glad SYTYCD will be back in another couple of weeks.

I have to add that I'm also bugged by the props thing. Either all the teams should have to work with one, or none. If a team chooses to add a prop on their own fine. But having one team this week and two teams last week assigned to work with props seemed to put them at an unfair disavantage. Notice - of those three teams that had to work with props, two have been eliminated.

For those who were concerned about Chris March during the PR:All-Stars (specifically, about his sleeping so much), from bloggingprojectrunway's blog:

Hi Everyone--I don't know if it's appropriate for me to comment here, but I would like to say a couple of things about the show:

First, thanks to everyone for your praise of my collection--it is very flattering and means a lot to me! The show had incredibly tough circumstances this time, and I was lucky to get anything done...

About the sleeping...a few things colluded to make me extremely sleepy during the filming.

1) I got approximately 3 hours of sleep a night, less the night before the runway.

2) The first day of filming, I got a bad case of food poisoning at lunch (which they conveniently edited out) that made me very weak and dehydrated.

3) I am diabetic, and on a new medication that makes me very, very sleepy. It just can't be helped.

4) Yes, I have sleep apnea, have been diagnosed and have a CPAP machine. Unfortunately, the other circumstances of participating in the show overwhelmed any sleep I actually got.

5) Then, to top it all off, I went home after the final interview and went to bed, and woke up the next morning with a terrible case of the flu (which I must have been catching during the last days of filming).

PLEASE know that I try to take care of myself (yes, I am painfully aware that I really need to lose weight) and go to the doctor every 3 months to monitor my diabetes. I have made great progress with it since being on Season 4 (I was then insulin dependent, and no longer need it).

Thanks again for all your lovely compliments, and you can visit or email me any time on my website at www.chrismarchdesign.com.

Sincerely,

Chris March
