I'm sad that I forgot not to read here before watching Survivor, but thrilled over PR. Love Seth Aaron's comments about Maya, loved Anthony, loved that the right person went home. At this point the two collections I really want to see are Seth Aaron's and Mila's (even though I don't love her)(and WTF was she thinking with those colors?). The other three are all very capable of turning it out, but I'm not sure they will.

I had serious issues over Seth Aaron's dress last night. Like the judges said, it was something the model who hands out the awards would wear, and it had that ugly pleating/ruching/whatever effect on the front that was just terrible.

Emilio's dress was perfectly constructed, and that material made it pop, but Anthony's dress, for me, was the best of the bunch--loved the way he arranged the black and white, loved the flow of the dress, loved the amount of leg it showed, loved everything about it! I can totally see why Jessica Alba wanted it for herself.

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

I can totally see why Jessica Alba wanted it for herself.

Did Alba look a little under the weather to anybody ele? I'm wondering if she wasn't meant to be the "client" all the time, and had to bail out of the filming for the beginning of the episode, forcing Heidi to step in at last minute.

As we already had both designers and models coming and going, I could imagine the producers would have had their hands full, even without a sick/otherwise engaged guest star. Just a hunch, but it feels right.

Oh, maybe that was the deal. It seemed weird that they'd do 2 Heidi-related challenges in one season. Jessica Alba did seem a little low energy (but clearly into being there).

Yeah, there was something off about the whole thing, and I think the producers were scrambling even more then we were seeing.

I loved Anthony's dress and want it for my very own.

I think the drama with the designer leaving, model leaving and trying to get Anthony back in the house pushed the edges of their available skills.

Question about the Biggest Loser. Have they met with a doctor at least once in every season?
