I love Mondo so much!
And yeah, Gretchen's dress was horrible!
I really hope Valerie can pull it together. She was one of my favorites early on.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

I was appalled that Gretchen was in the top and totally wtf about Micheal being in the bottom. Christopher's look was a train wreck.
I can't believe Christopher wasn't in the bottom. Or that Valerie survived with that dreckitude. I'm happy Ivy's gone though.
I wasn't too surprised about Gretchen because of the feather work, but it seemed like even the judges didn't get why Michael was in the bottom. April's look was the same thing she sends down the runway every week.
Very happy for Mondo. His ready-to-wear was killer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a dream last night that I was on TAR with Tim Gunn as the host. It was pretty great.
yeah, but this production company is just in year 2, right?
I'm not sure how much of the production staff changed over when they moved the lifetime - I thought it was just a distribution deal but I could be wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Survivor:
realityblurred has details on interviews the latest evictee gave. A choice snippet:
Just when Shannon starts to sound reasonable, Fancast asked him a question that he gave an awful response to. Asked if he thought Sash was in the mob, Shannon said, "No, I was concerned that he was gay and I was protecting my butthole." (Fancast removed the final word but I confirmed what it was.)
What an odious person.

What an asshole.
“Believe it or not, everybody thinks I’m this bad person [but] I’m really not. I do have heart. You caught me out there for six days with no food. I stunk and it tasted like I had bird shit in my mouth every morning when I woke up. I mean, you just don’t understand the heat that you go under and then somebody keeps pushing you, pushing you, pushing you to the limit."
Oh, well that explains it - he's only vocally homophobic (and misogynist, which the article doesn't address, but let's not forget his comment on day one that "we can't let a girl win this thing") when he's really stressed out. That makes it all okay then!

Art Crawl!!!
The new producers of PR are the folks behind The Real World.
Loved Mondo's pieces j- so happy that he won.
Could have had either Ivy or Valerie gone.

Good thing none of the other contestants are in that kind of situation or it'd be a free-for-all!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Shannon was such a total tool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
ITA, le n, re: the twist on PR. They always do that, but man I just want to see what fabulous things the designers could do given the full two days and no last minute twist when they are aiming for high fashion. Though I have to admit, I liked some of the RTW looks a whole lot.
Predictably, I love both Andy's and Mondo's complete packages, dislike Gretchen's high fashion (so 70s hausfrau! Maybe it looked better in person) and am meh on her RTW.
Michael C's RTW is damn similar to a dress I had in the 80s. His high fashion also seems more old-fashioned than cutting edge, but okay. Ivy's just look sloppy, which seems odd coming from her. Valerie's are okay but not at all exciting. Christopher's high fashion seemed worse, though with high fashion maybe okay is worse than bad. I don't even remember April's clothes and I'm still watching the episode.
