You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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

Hated the last minute bridesmaid challenge.

This really pissed me off. If they want these people to be sending their best work down the runway AT FASHION WEEK then they do NOT need to be wasting time making an extra dress at the last minute!

That said, I suspect the outcome would have been the same with our without the bridesmaid dress, because Jerrell's wedding gown was a mess. I *loved* the skirt, but the pointy flippy things on her boobs were just beyond unfortunate.

But then, I wasn't a huge fan of Leanne's either. I didn't think "waves" - I thought "garlic."

Because books.

Joe's collection just looked vaguely trashy, but Suede's? WOW, that was horrific. The whole thing looked like something he did in craft class.

Like megan said, including a wedding gown didn't bother me, because I love a show that ends with a wedding dress. But the last-minute challenges really are bullshit at that point. That said, I think Kenley and Leanne really rose to the challenge -- the dresses captured the spirit of the wedding gowns perfectly, and didn't look last-minute at all.

The weird thing is, I loved Jerrell's evening gown from the Botanical Gardens challenge. It needed some polishing, but the overall concept was gorgeous and fresh and lush. His wedding gown just went way over the top, instead.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

OK, no cable so I can't watch PR, but clicking on sumi's post I was not impressed with the dresses. This model seems to have the same opinion of this dress that I do.

Did you see Joe's? It seems to be predominantly comprised of bustiers and insane crotches.

OH! I forgot that he showed also. I'll have to check that out.

That's a gorgeous fabric, though. What a waste.

I looked through some of the collections. I have to say I found much to dislike in everyone's collections. Suede's absolutely sucked. I actually like a lot of Jerrel's. Korto wasn't too bad. I'm trying to keep in mind, that for a lot of these outfits, they had specific directions on what they had to make, so I'm giving them a pass on some of the really crappy stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not for the final collections, they didn't -- or is that not what you're talking about?

As my friend said, "I would NOT want Mr J putting some stank hair weave up on my head. But I will watch him do it to others."

The funniest thing to me is how visible Tyra's wig is in that picture.

OMG, can you imagine? And what's up with E not calling them Mr. Jay and Ms. J?
