Laura is three thousand times more awesome than Irina.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I liked Laura too.

Because books.
Oh me, too. Laura was excellent. Her bitchy never seemed *that* mean to me, either.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The whole thing of accusing Jeffrey at Bryant Park really got under my skin. I didn't much like her from the beginning and that just tipped me over.

I don't think that she was bitchy at all. She had a strong point of view and wasn't afraid to speak her mind.

I think that she honestly believed that there was an issue. She didn't do it to be bitchy or to try to screw with her competition. And frankly, I wouldn't have put it past Jeffery to cheat. If she had made the same claim about Micheal, I would have said "whoa", but it didn't seem out of the realm of possibility. Of course, I hated Jeffrey, so that may have colored my judgment just a little.

Also, even though they couldn't prove that the Angry Little Peanut farmed his construction out to others, he did go over budget and was forced to lose the hideous blonde wigs (and maybe something else?). So yeah, he was a cheater. Just like Kara Saun (as much as I loved her) and the "free" shoes. I was so Team Laura on that one.
Irina is not even an entertaining bitch in the way that Kenley or Wendy Pepper were. I don't love to hate her. She's just annoying. I will agree that this show has been sadly lacking in personality. Primarily, I think, because they kicked all of the interesting people off fairly early - Ra'Mon and Epperson were really good designers; Malvin and Ari were twelve different flavors of crazy, but would never have been boring; Qrystl was pretty much a bad designer, but she gave great quote. And all to keep around a bunch of young, mostly bland, mostly boring pretty people and Gordana (because Heidi needed a whipping girl). I have not wanted to give in to the Bunim/Murray hate, but it hasn't escaped me that the majority of the folks who stuck around for a long while would not be out of place in a Real World house.

It certainly is- and I would like to add that it's nice to not have any teams that suck (IMHO) and who are all generally decent folks and decent racers.

Because books.
The thing I love about the Globetrotters, the father and son, and the brothers is that they all seem to be having so much fun.
