I know! I thought that somebody (Heidi?) said that Jennifer's dress was so boring it didn't make her want to see any more of her work AND didn't Michael Kors say that he thought that Emily's had a nice dress underneath that uh, whatever it was. (Okay, neither said what they said like that - and wasn't it Jennifer's piece that Nina Garcia refused to comment on?)

Oh well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How much did I love Tim just throwing out all the catchphrases on his way out the door? "Carry on! Make it work! Holler at your boy!"

Because books.

TIm saying "Holla at your boy!" was the cutest thing EVER.

In Shear Genius news: If they don't send Nekisa home, I will scream. I can't listen to her whine and complain anymore.

I think that they should just give up and send them all home. I'm glad that there isn't a winner this week.

Reality TV is BLOWING MY MIND tonight. Judges, stop smoking the crack! Please!

PR: I'd have picked of the other two from the top three. They did comment that it's not always about the little runway dresses, but then what do they go and pick? Eh.

Both of the ones at the end were pretty bad. But that huge ass ruffle right across the boobs? How do you come back from that. I did think they were leaning the other way though.

I really hope Terri starts getting more notice.

I was surprised Terri's outfit didn't win, actually. They seemed to love it, but like you said, cocktail dress! Look, a cocktail dress!

I think Emily is a lot more talented than that dress, though, whereas Jennifer is just ... completely unfocused. Horrible ruffle or no, Emily's dress was finished, clean, and well constructed. Jennifer's dress looked like a bad home ec project, and the style was ... I don't even know what. Also, Jennifer hasn't interested me at all in any of the challenges, while this seemed like just one unfortunate misstep on Emily's part.

Thoughts while Tivo watching:

Kat looked like she had shower scrubbers on her shoes.

I loved Twitch's use of props.

WHY is there so much damn Celine Dion on this how?

Ooh, lost a shoe prop. Still better than the scrubber on kat's shoes

I love Joshua (yay shirtless). I think that he's my fave.

How much did I love Tim just throwing out all the catchphrases on his way out the door? "Carry on! Make it work! Holler at your boy!"

how awesome of a cell phone ring would that be?

I was surprised Terri's outfit didn't win, actually. They seemed to love it, but like you said, cocktail dress! Look, a cocktail dress!

her outfit was MUCH more New York. I was really unhappy with the dress that won. I thought that it was bottom three. I really liked the two piece black dress. i thought it was really interesting and terrific, it really looked polished and wearable. I am anti dress/pants, so I didn't love Terri's dress, but she was rocking the look.
