Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Thrive to spite them

I liked is it Maya's because she had a jacket AND a necklace. Not that a jacket is really an accessory but it still was awesome.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maya had the best complete look, I think. She's been in the top 3 a few times, now.

Ulli with the prints is who Mila sort of reminds me of. When she finally made a different dress that was still a print and summery-beachy-flowy but didn't look like every other dress she had made up until then, that was cool. I'm not sure if we're to the point where Mila has to do something different, yet, there are a bunch of designers that I really don't know what their point-of-view is at this point. But it wouldn't hurt for her to mix it up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Most of the people who were pissing me off are gone now, too. So at least there should be interesting clothes to look at.

Is anyone still watching Models? Is there any interesting drama over there? I quit because watching it was like watching a documentary in gender fail. Like how the models were all nearly powerless and yet were judged by the designers based on those criteria out of their control, and so how they all devolved into attempts at social manipulation as the only way to affect their fate. I can only think that the addition of specific judging by the panel for them this season makes it worse, but I don't know because I can't bring myself to watch it.

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

I half watched the last one. Alexis got booted, which may mean I stop watching. She was getting the superbitch editng, because she was actually trying to have a strategy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought that was ridiculous -- why did she need a strategy wrt the other girls?

I don't know, but something about the editing really bugged me. Just seemed like they were punishing her for trying to influence her own life.

Or it could be she really was a superbitch. Dunno.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I see what you mean, but I err on the side of superbitch. She would say really mean things for no apparent reason that I could see.

I don't think she was actually a superbitch, but I think she was playing that reality-tv role on purpose. Which I think was weird and pointless.

It was the no apparent reason that got to me--we never saw anything of what prompted her comments, which says editing choices to me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh, I see what you mean. Hmm. If they did this to other people, then I could believe it, but if she is the only one saying mean shit for no reason...maybe there is something to it?
