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

Jesse (or anyone else), can you tell me what happened on BB tonight? I didn't get home in time to see it, and the tivo was reserved for SYTYCD.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Project Runway: I suspect Blayne is retarded. The winner (Kelli?) was very innovative.

Shear Genius: I can't believe Nekisia is still on. She's been in the bottom every freaking time and she did nothing on that woman's hair.

Nicole is an excellent haircutter but she's going to lose on coloring or styling.

Charlie's a bitch, but not in the entertaining way. He's just a shitty human. Also, he would've been out if he didn't have immunity.

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

Why is everyone so surprised about the tablecloths? I mean, are you kidding? You got a big piece of fabric!!!!

I didn't get surprised so much as disappointed. I mean, the challenge is to use unusual materials - making a dress out of a big piece of fabric is just lazy. (Not to mention, the tablecloths were UGLY.)

I was surprised Raincoat Guy went home because usually unfinished trumps ugly, at least in the early challenges. Stella did nothing to those garbage bags.

The tool is out, despite valiant attempts to stir up trouble. April and Keesha hate each other. Jerry explained at length to everyone how he would never, ever go back on his word and so therefore when he does immediately cave and do so at the least prompting he will remove all his military gear so you can tell. @@. Renny is still crazy and deluded.

So, not much new.

Thanks Brenda. I'm almost sorry the tool is out, because at least he might have been entertaining.

Art Crawl!!!

I was so happy with the winner of the challenge last night - excellent job. And the runner up.

I also liked the way 3rd place person used color.

Punishingly Intricate

I would have been happy if all of the bottom 3 on PR had been cut.

Yeah, the other guy's raincoat was a little bizarre, but at least he *designed* something, with detail. (Weird detail, but whatever.) Hers looked exactly like what it was -- a garbage bag.

Yes. Exactly. And she was such a fucking sad sack about it. I hate that defeatist attitude more than delusional bragging.

The tanorexic wishes he was Christian. But, "girlicious" really???

It's like he thought "hey, I need a catchphrase! Christian had fierce, so I use . . . . girlicious?"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I loved how #3 used the kale and tomatoes in her neckline--very striking use of color and texture that paired nicely with the yellow of the tablecloth (and at least she chose a tablecloth with some pop to it!). However, I can see why the winner won--the dyeing and bleaching was something I was a bit iffy about at first, but it really produced an interesting look to the fabric, and her use of the other materials (spiral notebook for hooks and eyes was brilliant, imo!) was very innovative.

I also really liked the crocheted top made out of rag mops (now I'm earwormed with "Rag Mop" from the Muppet Show).

Somebody on TWO said what I just thought about Jerry's designe: it looks like Dr. Horrible's outfit! Down to the white boots. The only (two) differences would be the yellow gloves and that lavendar thing the model wore under the coat.
