I dispute...Heidi's comment was "...pooing fabric," and that really was the highlight of the show. As for the contestants...I was ready to hate Christian, but now I think he might be pretty entertaining. Rami may burn brightly and fizzle out, but I think Chris & Victorya could quietly produce consistently good designs for awhile.

Turquoise. The color, not the stone.

Oooo, Fasionista, you ruined someone's Wednesday night surprise! I'm okay with the spoiler, considering the anti-climactic nature. Why are the designers so shocked in the preview? I'd think they would say, "Oh, Bon Jovi, that's kinda cool. So where's the big-time guest judge?"

Wow, that's one more thing to add to my obsessive check list. My personal tick...when I leave the bathroom, I glide my hand across my backside to be sure I don't have toilet paper hanging from the back of my pants.

I do this, because it's happened to me. Twice. Oh, this honesty hurts!

And from V..."Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not watching you."

Let's call to mind a classic '80s movie...Tom Hanks & Darryl Hannah in "Splash". Tom Hanks had a crazy receptionist at his workplace, who had alledgedly been struck by lightning...perhaps multiple times.

There's a scene where Tom and his brother (John Candy) come to work, and the receptionist is wearing her bra on the outside of her blouse. She says, "Your father's on the pnone". Tom says, "Our father died 7 years ago." And she says, "Shall I take a message?"

I may not have the dialogue exactly right...but you get the point.

I love Kit...young-ish, quiet & consistent (a little like Alison last season...hopefully, she won't get shafted with the early exit.)

Kevin - Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, buddy. You can be straight, and still admire a room full of perfect physical specimens, male or female!

My understanding is that hobo comes from the term "hoe-boy", which refers to migrant agricultural workers who carried their own tools...notably, a hoe.

You couldn't possiblity fit a hoe in that bag.

I love Evaporation design...it looks like the Rapture.

It's strange. If you read this after a really strong martini...it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. And I read it twice-ish.

Perhaps it's the age of the men you're observing. I think 20-somethings do very little to take care of their appearance, but men in their 30's+ begin to take notice. I use Nivea or Neutorgena eye cream & moisturizer...either designed for men or unisex. American Crew shampoo/conditioner, Bumble & Bumble for styling. Even if a man's skin is different, there's little difference between the products aside from fragrance. But can't I buy it based on dark packaging alone?

I wondered about the heels...that could not have been easy. And you know that whole scene takes a really, really long time to shoot. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

I think they played up the Christian angle a bit much...he shouldn't have been in the bottom two. How long can Ricky gingerly weep through this competition with uninspired designs and poor color selection?!

And in response to the comment above & designer's stress, remember Vincent's rant to the producers about his laundry? It was editted out & showed in the reunion episode. He freaked out.

I wonder if anyone walked up to him and said, "Thom, your show gave me nightmares." The weird circus/bondage thing affected me in a strange way.

Christian ran away with this season from the very beginning. I think everyone knew Rami would be in the finale, but he limits himself too much to succeed overall...maybe he just takes himself way too seriously, and of course, Christian is the polar opposite.

Jillian was a suprise, and held her own with her collection. Her turning point began with the Twizzlers.

I think more than anyone, Christian has the ability to make a name for himself in fashion...he has the charisma, attitude & talent. Congratulations, Christian!!! Don't let that va-cay last for too long!
