And Sagitarians. Represent!

If I’m not mistaken, no Gemini (which could have been awesome), Virgo, Pisces, or (I think) Capricorn. Lots of Libras and Scorpios (which are such opposites in my mind).

Hah, yeah I (Virgo) texted my best friend (Gemini) about that when they'd gone through everyone. We determined it to be BULLSHIT!

Scorpios - we're so CREATIVE.

And you know, moody.

Also, love to wear lots of BLACK - thus explaining the numberes of creative artsy types who wear black because black and maroon are our colors.

I would have loved to see a mer-goat outfit! Capricorn, baby!

Ha! It's a good thing there weren't any Virgos. I'd hate to see what this crop thought was a good avant garde interpretation of Virgo.

I got irritated because my Tivo goofed up so I just now saw this ep. I spoiled myself for it and I'm glad, or I would have been startled.

All the ditched designers looked so dour. I don't think any of them were happy to be there. It looked like it was We Own Your Soul Day for Bravo, with all the designers dragged back, old and new.

I saw the design of the venue and I thought the models were going to be posing in those glass boxes. Which would have been cool. I didn't really like that the former contestants were judging based mostly on cocktail party chat. I know the models did walk, but it seems like a strange way to get a first impression of an outfit like that.

What else?

Oh, I'm watching bits and pieces of Tabatha's Salon Takeover and to my surprise, I love it. But she's less effective than Gordon Ramsay, I think because they don't respect her. Anyway, my only other comment on that is that I love her personal aesthetic. She wears all this black, but she wears fabulous black, with interesting silhouettes and textures.

...I don't watch the show, and I'm only skimming what you guys say, but as a Virgo, I'm suddenly afraid. Very afraid. Except, apparently, relieved.

Just watched Top Model, and the photo shoot looked pretty cool, except I always feel kinda bad when there's a shoot and several girls are obviously kicking ass, because it makes me feel really bad for the few girls who just Don't Get It. That said, I love Elina, and am very scared for the Makeover Episode now. Don't ruin her, evil Tyra!! Don't ruin the French girl either!! Or shiny fake-Michelle Trachtenburg's hair. But do fix crazy UFC girl's hair. And that Clark girl. She needs help.

I was sad to see Terri go, even if I was also getting pretty sick of her attitude. I agree with the judges that she blew this challenge, but I thought for sure she'd go further than Suede.

I didn't hate Kenley's design, but it was a little Alice in Wonderland for me. I really liked that she was one of the few who didn't take the literal translation of her zodiac sign.

NO clue how Jerrel won this with Leanne's fantastic Scorpio design in the mix. Other than using ugly fabrics and making them interesting, I didn't see anything "avant-garde" about his look. It was a dress with a funky jacket over it.

The thing I didn't get was the aufed designers helping. Heidi was clear that it wasn't a chance for any of them to come back, so what the hell was in it for them? I can see it making it impossible for any of the competing designers to blame a failure on their assistants, because it's not like they could get aufed again.

So yeah, aside from that "Bravo Owns My Soul" idea, it seemed like a strange dynamic to me. That said, it worked pretty well for almost everybody but Terri.

Kenley's dress seemed like a caricature of avant garde to me. But then avant garde seems to be one of those terms like "literary" -- it's going to mean something different to everyone.

The winner was chosen by the past-season contestants, right? I can definitely see Jerrell working the room and Leanne....not.

That is a very good point.
