Wow, that is fascinating! PR producers, why have you not learned to listen to Tim Gunn? He's right there.

At least they didn't do the period piece biopic thing. What a yawn that would have been.

I think it's really funny how they insisted he not use Onassis, since it's when she was Jackie O that she seemed much more classic Am sportswear to me (than in the the early 60s).

Yeah, I really don't get the reasoning on that.

Because books.

I just watched (and man, do I love Tim), and I'm really surprised by how seat-of-the-pants the whole thing seemed to be. Changing the challenge in the eleventh hour? Not updating the judges on what Tim actually said to the designers in terms of directive? Wow.

I wonder how much longer Tim's on contract? He sounds uber-frustrated - the show without Tim is probably not worth watching, ya know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I really don't get the reasoning on that.

Well, if it was going to be sponsored by the Katie Holmes movie, that was about Jackie Kennedy, apparently.

But that didn't end up being part of it, so it's just a weird artifact. Surely they know that we know that Jackie Kennedy == Jackie O

Oh yeah, for sure.

I was out of the room -- is it just another look? Coordinating or something?
