I just really didn't like Eddie as a person. I'm sure that he got the bitch edit, but the bitch edit only works if there's a lot of bitchiness. He was really supportive of Andrea (who I loathed), but he would talk behind people's backs, or say something was great and then roll his eyes when the person turned around. That kind of thing happened too often for it to be just the edit.

Art Crawl!!!

Right AND he was less than creative with his design. Perhaps if he directed more energy to his work and less to being bitchy about other people. . .

I love Jeff Lewis as a judge. I hope he's in for finale part II.

Because books.

Eddie is, I think, a stylist at heart. He likes to shop. And he's got Martha's style down pat, but what I (think I) saw of Eddie Ross's designs was pretty old lady, as the judges kept pointing out.

He seemed to get the bitch edit more and more often as the show went on, but like Vortex, I think that's because he gave them more and more to work with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Interesting -- this week's Guide to Style has a woman with a metric shitload of clothes, and some of them are good, but a lot of them need tailoring.

And I am once again obsessed with Celebrity Rehab. Nikki McKibben is really getting to me in the last episode -- she's clearly detoxing so bad, but is really trying to stay engaged and look pleasant and whatnot. In general, I think I feel worse for the American Idol kids, because they got some level of fame, but never any real success.

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

Seriously. What a douche.

And WTF was up with Starr criticizing the Desperate Ex-Housewives for their clothes when she was wearing A SPORTS BRA AS A SHIRT?

Right now I'm rooting for Tony & Dallas.

Yes - to both those things.

Also: Tony & Dallas.

So three things.

I like the new NEL thing. (This is slightly different than last season, right?)

Last season was the first time they did the speed bump. I remember Kynt and Vyxen doing yoga, but I can't recall the other one from last season. I like it SO much more than the taking away all the possessions and then we have to watch people begging for money.

Yes, the Speed Bump is by far the best NEL twist they've come up with.
