I hear that Phil (TAR) was on the Bonnie Hunt Show and they were ADORABLE.

I really feel that the only reason Kenley lost was because they didn't like her.

Really? I didn't like her collection at all. Uglee. and the painted fabric looked amateurish and granny, not in a good way, to me.

But that's just me. From what Tim said, he thought she had some beautiful looks but everything was just really stiff. It didn't move well as clothing on the models at all.

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

I really thought Korto should have taken it. Kenley's collection had one or two stunners (pink corset top w/ big fluffy black skirt ftw!), but also some real clunkers (the painted flower dress with the sleeves looked like someone had stuck shoulder pads under a muumuu). And I *really* don't get the stiff skirt with the random explosion of ugly flower print on the side.

Leanne...I can see why she won, but I just didn't like her collection at all. I still think her wedding dress looks like a giant garlic costume. I liked her bridesmaid dress and her evening gown, but pretty much hated the flippy wave things on everything else. I just thought they looked stupid.

I didn't love all of Korto's collection, but there wasn't anything in it I flat-out hated, and a few things that were just amazing, like her long green halter dress. I love the way she takes simple clean lines and just twists them slightly - her clothes are always interesting, but they're also extremely approachable.

oh man, I'm watching Tim Gunn's show from this week. I can't figure out why that woman wanted to be on the show at all!

I loved when Dad was hugging the blondes and Phil's got this "what am I? Chopped Liver?" (or is it "What? Am I chopped liver?)

So far, I'm only rooting for the Mom and Son team. Most of the couples annoy and the same gendered pairs are so dumb!

I loved Phil's Dad!

I love that he introduced himself as Phil's Dad.

So cute.

I think you were right the first time, quester.

Oh, and why the hell was Starr driving that car, at all?

So dumb.

And I can't believe that neither Ty nor Aja knew how to change a tire. Also - did it look as though Ty was doing all the kiwi stomping?

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Phil's dad was a total cutie patootie!

I am amazed at how well Team Cheating Heart is doing. I have to grudgingly give it up to them. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that Tina is going to melt down the first time they fall to the back of the pack. And KF with her is not gonna be pretty.

I think I could actually like Nick without Starr but she is a horrible, horrendous mess. Ugh. And the divorcees continue to be ridiculous (and look to bring more ridiculousness next week). I'm only really liking Tony/Dallas. Aja and Ty weren't as bad tonight as they could have been, but the fight-y, fight-y so early in the race is not a good sign. And her whole, I will hit you until you hug me because aren't I so little and cute routine? Umm, no.
