[Liberal_in_LA]

1. spoilers...

Blayne should have been fired. Wasn't fired because he's more entertaining.

[Liberal_in_LA]

2. giggling lipstick girl gets on my nerves

[XemaSab]

5. Is her name Kenley?

Somehow I thought she and Daniel were buddies, but both her and Kelly (?) seemed sort of mean towards him tonight.

And as far as Daniel himself goes, that waifish schtick is getting a little thin, and he's the one I originally wanted to win. I'm a little surprised he didn't get kicked off. :shrug:

[Liberal_in_LA]

6. I think they kick off the duller contestants first.

[XemaSab]

8. Oh, and Kenley's bright tropical fabrics are grossing me out

I don't know how Tim thinks they're novel.

I think my grandma has a nylon windbreaker made out of one of those fabrics tonight. :P

[ColbertWatcher]

3. Agree with #1 and #2, I'd like to add: Tim Gunn rocks and Terry will win season 5. n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. which one is Terry? I need descriptions like "the orange guy", "the Liberian"

[ColbertWatcher]

9. The other black chick?

The really fast one. (She made the jacket, pants, blouse for the Olympics challenge)

She's older than the kids, too.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. Oh her... she's good.

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. I thought 'Leatha' woman kicked butt on the leather belt.

If the rest of the challenges are leather all the time, she's gonna win it.

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Yes, she has been a surprise every episode, except the first one.

That first one she really blew.

[XemaSab]

27. I thought she was going to be GONE that first week, but she's been pretty good every time

I think it's that the trash bags just didn't drape the way she was expecting, and she should have gone for a more skintight look. :shrug:

[ColbertWatcher]

34. Re: the garbage bags ... I think she was just being cheap.

The bags she used looked like the cheapest ones available. they also looked like kitchen bags, too.

If she used 33-pound trash bags (the ones restaurants use) she would have been able to do something better.

7. What is it? I don't even know what it is...

:cry:

[ColbertWatcher]

10. Here is a page that describes it perfectly...

[bridgit]

15. Ah, I see. So it *is* possible for wannabe homemakers to tune into this...

and live vicariously through some others person's ability to perform what are essentially home arts, hm...intersting. Sounds like another 'kind' of Iron Chef. I'll have to ask Betsey, she's my theater gf. She has advanced degrees in theater costuming. Sews all hubby's clothes, split second between scene alterations, university/seminar speaker coast to coast on the subject of theater wardrobe, patterning, etc, she's a no-jive Indiana girl i.e. I've seen her squat on a stool and milk cows here in town at State Fair/CalEXPO dressed like Stevie Nicks

Personally, I don't have the time for such shows. If Betsey says it's cool then it's cool. If she says it's crap? Then it's crap. I'll get back, thanks for the heads up ;)

[ColbertWatcher]

16. Thank you, now I want to know what Betsy thinks about it too! n/t

[bridgit]

20. Yep, pretty much what I figured...

As one of hubby's L-wives, she only watches cause she has a thing for Tyra and feels she is able to do so much more 'the media' than on screen participants...

And that's my gf :)

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. A reality show based on sewing/clothes design. A contestant kicked off each week.

[WinkyDink]

17. It's GIRLICIOUS! Holla at your BOY! Go, Team Tan!

[Z_I_Peevey]

28. Don't tell me you liked those Bermuda shorts!

Girlfriend, please. Those were so not anything-licious. So un-fierce. So...pale.

[WinkyDink]

32. No, no! Just in GENERAL! Those shorts DEFINITELY needed to be BLACK, NO back-flaps, down to the knee

for day, but with a zhuzhed (TM Carson) side that can be raised for a flash of thigh for evening. That would look FIERCE!

But not in LEATHUH!

BTW~~~Whatever happened to Daniel Franco? :)

[Z_I_Peevey]

39. (SPOILER) He continues to haunt the sewing room like the emo boy

that he is. Blondie girl got the ax.

[MissMillie]

18. I like Jarel and Stella's dress better (spoiler)

but the other one was very nice.

I thought Kelly would have more staying power.

[Missy Vixen]

19. I agree

Jarel and Stella's dress was stunning.

Tan-alicious boy is already working my last nerve...

Julie

[XemaSab]

22. There are a handful of them I'm rocking a dislike for

The best part about Jarel and Stella's dress was that it really looked like they both worked on it, whereas the "winning" dress looked like they each did their own thing and put the two pieces together. :shrug:

[XemaSab]

21. Whatsisname already did a dress made out of little pieces

And IMHO, this one was way better but it still looked like the pieces weren't finished. I'd worry that they would totally fall apart. :shrug:

[Beaverhausen]

26. I thought she would win the whole thing

shows you what I know!

:hi:

[Liberal_in_LA]

35. Me too. That dress was beautiful.

[AlCzervik]

23. I liked Korto's outfit the best and in general i like her stuff except for one awful looking

dress she made, i also like her personal style, her own clothes are fantastic.

I'm really looking forward to next weeks show with the drag queens.

[XemaSab]

24. The tablecloth dress was fantastic!

:D

[Cannikin]

25. I stopped watching the first night when I realized it had nothing to do with aviation.

on edit:

Although, I've discovered Christian Siriano via youtube & SNL. He's quite a character.

[graywarrior]

29. Not a talent in the bunch

No one can top Christian.

[Tektonik]

37. Agreed that no one can top Christian

Though I think Kenley is a really awesome clothes maker, but has some questionable fabric choices.

Kitsch can be okay, but goddammmmnnnn.

[Scooter24]

30. There isn't anyone who stands out this season...

Last season had a whole crop of very well-trained designers who had very impressive resumes.

This season the talent just seems blah.

[JI7]

36. i agree

previous seasons had about 3-5 that were usually great. and others who did well.

even the losers in previous seasons who ddin't even make the final 3 were better than many of these people are. for example Nick Verreos.

this is the weakest season they have had.

[Tektonik]

38. I disagree

Only seasons 3 and 4 had really strong casts, especially last year. I think the top three last year could have won in every single season so far. God last year was good.

This year has some pretty good people, and I think Kenley will win it all even if her fabrics are so tacky that they couldn't be an outdoor vinyl tablecloth :crazy:

[xchrom]

31. love that show big time -- and i loved the winning outfit last night.

jarrel and leather lady made a gucci, ungaro retro knock-off -- been there and done that.
