Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

In all fairness to Jaclyn, he'd said some pretty shitty things about her at crit. him saying that he doesn't think that she's smart enough to sabotage him was an asshole thing to say (although I happen to agree with him, he could have phrased it better).

Well, she did call him stupid multiple times during the planning process. I really don't want to be defending either of them, but this episode made me hate Jaclyn even more than I already did.

Because books.

I have a grudging respect for Jaclyn's last two individual pieces, but I think she's totally downplaying how much help and inspiration she got from other people when it came to focusing on the thing that was going to pull them together.

And then I think of her Pride and Prejudice cover with the bowler hat and the misspelled "Austin", and I want her gone all over again.

Don't remind me! That was atrocious.

I was so happy to see Prada Marfa in the beginning. Love that piece.

The chefs trying to crack the blue crabs was hilarious. And sad. So much wasted meat. And I'm wondering where on earth they got those crabs. It was not MD blue crab season AT ALL when they were filming.

I also get that choosing to use your own body, and often nude, is a valid way to make a certain statement, or explore certain themes in art. But I can't help feeling that Jaclyn does it because she can't think of anything else to do.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think there are farmed blue crabs available year round.

I wonder if she had really gone with her original "Austin" plan (with her self-portrait photo) if they would have been tired of the concept by the time the Audi challenge came around.

Yeah, that makes sense. I just think of crabs as a summertime thing.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, Project Runway is going to start off with 17 designers in season 8.

I wonder if there is going to be a huge auffing early on.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm debating if I'm even going to watch PR this time around. I feel rather blah about the idea.

Is anyone else watching The Choir on BBCA? Last night was good, although I'm hoping that some of those kids realize that the second round of auditions (which Gareth had warned them about during the very first rehearsal) is yet another reminder that, hey, life isn't always fair. Loved seeing the Kenyan family reunited--so sweet! And the choir's fear of the dreaded 11th year's (aka, seniors) reaction to their concert had me flashing back to high school.
