“I hope there’s paintball because I really need to shoot some people.”
Here and I was thinking that if someone wanted to take me glamping, I would totally go.
Sure, but I’d refuse to use the word “glamping.”
Oh, I’d totally go, too. It was a beautiful spot. But it wouldn’t be glamping.

Whoa! Justin rules. Everyone crying. Who knows what goes on when the cameras aren’t rolling. Tim too.
Even Ken, showed some manners this week. Probably inspired by his “like” of Justin.
The worst dress was the muumuu with a belt. In fact, it’s the worst dress of the season, by FAR.
All of them sleeping in the same room. What up with that? Cheap. Or something else?
Love Alexander! He should have won on Thursday.
Challenge idea! Sari challenge.
Models come out on the runway wearing silk saris. Button bag. Designers choose a model and have to make something out of the sari that she’s wearing. Any type of garment. Trip to Mood for supplementary fabric, and go!
It would be interesting to see what the designers did with the fabric and the decorative borders. Going too literal would be bad. Hiding the sari-ness would also be bad. I’d love to see a pair of pants made out of a sari!
But what does it say about my feelings about the show that when I was thinking about that challenge, I was thinking “hmm…how would they work in product placement?”
Also I had blocked out the hideousness of the boots the model had to wear. What’s-her-name did not use the Belk Accessory wall thoughtfully or strategically.
I never thought I’d ever hear Tim Gunn use the term “poopy pants.” And I’m not sure I ever want to hear it again.
I LOVE the idea of a Sari Challenge!
I have to agree with most of TLO’s comments on this episode last night. Although I thought Bradon’s dress was flirty and fun. The shoe closet was boring and so were most of the designs.
The best part of the episode was Swatch trotting with his ball, and Tim on the floor with Swatch saying “I don’t see where your ball went.” Total snooze fest of an episode, although I did not get the hate for Jeremy’s fake cable sweater. I’d wear it.
I might not watch next week judging by the previews. It seems Lil’ Ken has yet another meltdown, uses the F word a lot, and Tim has to have a talk with him.
I liked the sweater too, and I think if Jeremy would have paired it and the boots with skinny jeans instead of a skirt, he would have been in the clear. But thigh-high boots + miniskirt + gold camisole = bad idea.
But yeah, boring episode and boring (and in some cases flat-out hideous) shoes. But how in the hell was Kate not in the bottom? Those bizarre pants and the abominable white blouse, paired with red heels? Horrible.
I probably would have given Alexander the win instead of Helen. It’s hard to look past the utter plainness of her dress, and while the cape is sort of cool, it made her model look a bit hunchbacked. I liked Alexander’s top, and other than the wonky seam in the back, I thought his pants were pretty good. Plaid pants usually remind me of pajamas, but his didn’t.
I’d have given the win to Alexandria. I did not like Helen’s hunchback design. I thought it was ugly. Miranda’s was not the worst IMHO.
I would have given it to Alexandria, too.
I think Miranda’s fatal mistake here was being boring…again. Absent any serious fug that garners a memorable quip from the judges (“foaming vagina” or “poopy pants”) the cardinal rule of PR is THOU SHALT NOT BORE NINA.
I hope Ken goes next. He’s just a nasty nasty little man.
I didn’t understand the love for Helen’s either. She wanted to go rock and roll and made a funeral dress instead. The cape is what makes it? Nah.
I know Justin ended up only safe and his outfit wasn’t ground-breaking but I thought it was solid and fit the shoes well.
And did I really see a bow tie tattoed on Ken’s neck?! (I missed most of the bow tie challenge so maybe this was already covered.)

Someone on TWoP posted this youtube link to Tim Gunn on “I Get That a Lot.” It’s hysterical.
You could find me a sewing machine that requires just a single touch to produce couture and I swear I would find some way to turn out the ugliest outfit imaginable and stitch my fingers together in the process . . . and yet I still sort of want to learn just to sew just to get up the nerve to try out for Project Runway and meet Tim Gunn in person.
Or you could just hang around the hot dog place and wait for him to work the counter.
My niece is attending FIT and is a photography major. She has met Tim several times; once to take pictures of him and his apartment. Everything that is said about him is true. Just a wonderful, sweet, lovely man. And his apartment ain’t bad either! Jealous!
