Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, I think we know our Top 3 now.

And whether Christopher or Gordana goes next probably depends on pure luck and who is having a good/bad day.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

And whether Christopher or Gordana goes next probably depends on pure luck and who is having a good/bad day.

Yeah, but if Christopher goes, we'll have to deal with more of Katie and the DOUBLE-STICK TAPE DRAMA over on "Models of the Runway."

Ahem. Yeah. I'm still watching that. I was even rooting a little bit for Logan, just to keep Koji. Because unlike the other models, she's not vapid. (Also, beautiful.)

Because books.

It's been a weird season. I think part of the reason the judging has been so bizarre is because it's a different group (aside from Heidi) nearly every week.

Yeah, I could see Christopher's hideous mistakes looking like "good designer on a bad day" if you've only seen one of them.

True.

I am really sick of the celebrity judging on both TC and PR. Bring in other chefs! Bring in other designers!

That said, I'm happy both Mike and Logan are gone.

I guess I hope the top 3 are Irina, Althea, and Carol Hannah, but, I do not get Althea (it doesn't help that she does not come off well on TV--she always has a weird look on her face), I do not like Irina, and Carol Hannah just doesn't seem very inspiring. This season started off so promising. What happened?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

The law suit?

It's BORING. Carol Hannah is a sweetheart who makes pretty dresses and not much more. Irina is a stone bitch who thinks the sun rises and sets on her, despite her lovely clothes (which I think are lovely, but not exceptional). And Althea is hit or miss with me, in terms of what she makes, but she's no rocket scientist.

I think of those three, Althea is the most interesting in terms of her designs, but her execution is never quite there. I mean, the judges apparently see it, but I don't.

If next episode Carol Hannah makes something not a dress and knocks it out of the park, I'll be able to root for her all the way, I think. Althea is just not to my taste and Irina seems to have nothing to her look besides being "luxe" and "rich-looking".

I actually like Gordana's aesthetic the best, but when she misses she really misses. I think that jacket could have been really cool if she had made all the edges more ragged and like the strips she made the divorcee's dress out of, which is where I thought she was going when Tim asked about the finish, but she either didn't see that or played it safe.

I guess next week poor, lonely Christopher will have to talk to himself about how he doesn't know what the judges want from him before the challenge.
