Wow, I liked this episode! Even though I’m not into wrestling or skank-ho clothes, this was real fun to watch. what a difference some cheekiness makes, I guess. I thought Chris most definitely deserved to win. Jillian’s wasn’t that bad, I kind of got it. Christian’s was the same thing he always does scaled up to wrestler mode, but he actually said something that made me smile this episode (“sex moans”). Rami’s was horribly ugly despite (or perhaps because of) the draping (wtf), the ugliest of the bunch by far to me. Sweet P’s looked the least well made and the least satisfying to the customer. I think both Rami’s and Sweet P’s looked worse than Ricky’s (poor guy should have put some rhinestones or some chaps on that thing, I guess) and that Sweet P should have been out - the judges have certainly aufed “poorly made/unfashionable” over “doesn’t fit the brief” before. But by now I think their reasons are pretty much random/whatever they can come up with. I still think it’s unfair that Rami, Jillian and Christian can pretty much do whatever they want now, the ugliest, most off-mark, horrible shit ever and they’ll still be in because the judges (and by reading stuff on the internet, everyone else) love them - it makes the challenges seem meaningless. It would have been sooo hilarious to watch Victoria handle this challenge, had she been there still.
Not to mention diluting Bryant Park, which has enough problems with prestige as it is.
Man oh man…you’re so right! I just got an image of her in my head with her perpetual sourpuss turned up to eleven! Can you imagine her trying to do her typical anti-boob thing when dealing with those women’s gigantic sacks of saline?
I thought Ricky’s outfit did give his wrestler lovehandles. I loved Chris and Christian’s outfits. Sweet P always looks like she’s about to have a breakdown. Rami’s pink was hideous, and Jillian’s was passabe, but not terribly memorable.
I loved Michael Kors’ comment about the Pope in a sex show. He was almost blushing.
StG
Jillian’s was boring as hell and totally ordinary. You can buy boy shorts like that at wal mart- dunno why she got so much credit.
Chris is great and costumes are his forte so he totally pulled it out and deserved to win! I like the comeback kid.
I know nothing about wrestling so I found this episode meh. I’m kinda sorry to see Ricky go. He made me nuts with the sobbing throughout the season but he seemed like a nice person (I know, that is NOT a reason to keep him). He showed class at his “exit interview” by saying that he learned to have faith in himself and not let criticism bring him down. The most interesting aspect was seeing Jillian trying to put the moves on Rami, first joining him on the bed in the apartments, then putting her arms on his shoulders outside the wrestling room. I want to tell her “he’s gay, give up all hope of conversion.”
That said, Big Chris is my fave and is showing he’s not a one-trick pony, unlike Rami who drapes everything and Christian who can design only tight, fitted jackets with big sleeves.
Could be that the next person auf’ed won’t know until the final show. :eek:
When did they auf two people? Was that one of the team efforts back in season one or two?
Could the big surprise be along the lines of “Everyone who’s won a challenge gets to come back” a la Angela and Vincent last season? Or maybe Jack’s all beter and gets to come back?
I’ll keep watching but the show is losing some of it’s appeal for me as it becomes just another Bravo vehicle for product placement. “We got the DVDs form BLOCKBUSTER EXPRESS…” I understand that they need money to produce these shows but to me it really detracts…the Hershey store challenge was limiting, just like the Bombay Sapphire/Red Robin/Coldstone Creamery challenges on Top Chef.
And I didn’t even get the point of this one. Does WWE really think having their Divas on PR is going to gain them viewers? At least with Levis there’s a little bit of logic.
The friend that I dissect the show with on Thursday mornings calls the four finalists last year “The Wendy Pepper Effect”. Claims the producers were completely undone when Nancy O’Dell picked Wendy’s dress and revised the way the finalists are selected so that the 3 most talented people get to Bryant Park, even if there’s a fluke win by a hack.
As for the WWE episode: Okay, besides being a bathing suit, and a bathing suit we’ve seen in magazines before, those metal rings on Ricky’s outfit would make some ugly bruises if someone connected with them in the ring. ( i know they don’t really hit eachother but…) Won’t miss Ricky at all. Sweet Pea…if her big thing is Robe and Reveal why make a robe that’s already revealing??? I did get “fierce” from Christian’s but I thought the jacket was a bit of a mess. I liked Chris’ overall look much better, but as much as I hate to say it don’t think it fit his model as well as Jillian’s. Her boobs looked a little mashed and it looked as if some of the strappy bits were squeezing her too much. Jillian’s wrestler did look ready to go in that outfit, though I agree the socks were a strange and bad choice. Let’s see, who have I forgotten? Rami! Poor Rami “I’m from Israel. I don’t know about American fashion” got the “All-American girl next door”. Next door to what? Pamela Anderson’s tailor? It’s the same blasted thing he has made every week but denim week, with the middle yanked out. Feh! I was pulling for him early on, but his one note is not as adaptable as Uli’s one note. And what was with that color???
Yup, season 2 Banana Republic challenge.
And Green Bean, I’m giggling just thinking about it!
Yeah…I think a lot of people thought Austin was robbed.
Couldn’t they have put pressure on O’Dell to have chosen someone else’s dress, or something, if they really didn’t want Wendy Pepper to go to fashion week?
I liked the socks, found 'em kinda cool, actually. They were reminiscent of the heavy knee-highs soccer players wear, only made into thigh-highs for the sexy factor.
I am beginning to think that Rami may be (partially) colorblind. His color choices are consistently fugly.
Exactly - and the shorts weren’t just shorts, they were like a stripper version of boxing trunks. That’s what I liked, it had cute details.
I keep picturing her asking one of the WWE ladies to wear a minimizing bra. And then pitching a passive-aggressive fit when she is told that’s not going to fly – saying in that little whisper voice, “I just can’t get the bodice to fit, and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.” With that undertone of “It’s not my fault; it’s the boob-holder’s.”
As for Rami’s color choice in this episode, he said something about Barbie, which I suppose is as close as he could get to All-American girl.
Well
real time has caught up with PR and if you wanna be spoiled, Google “NY Fashion Week” . 
Should I take from this that there was either only one ringer, or no other ringer?
Damnit, now I want to google it, but I want to be surprised and wait for next week! It makes me wonder why they skipped an episode last week. If they’d shown Ricky getting eliminated last week, this week they would be down to about four.
Okay, I did google it, and it said that the five of them are all having shows because two of them are ringers. So I don’t see what’s being spoiled? 
Why don’t they schedule their show so they don’t have this problem?
Is it just me or did Ricky’s orange “bathing suit” look like something Foxy Cleopatra wore on Austin Powers Goldmember??
