A sad, constant bid for attention

The sad thing is, I don't know. I usually watch it on Sunday nights and then didn't last Sunday night and then forgot to tivo it. I missed the entire last episode. But they rerun it on VH1 a lot, so I figure I will find out sooner or later.

CFC Spoiler...











Tina won the car - both she and the Baywatch woman had huge weight losses in the last week. The Blue Team (the non-Hot Buttered Soul team) won the overall challenge and got the prize packages.

Was that because most businessmen find Korean women unattractive?

You've been to Atlanta? Do you know Bob? He's from there.

When I was in like ninth grade, my bestest friend told her boyfriend she would not have sex with him because (and I am quoting her directly) "my pussy is precious".

A jillion years later, whenever I hear the word precious, I still think about her pussy. And it's apparent preciousness.

It would have made the hot Chinese chick's day if she'd been close enough to hear them.

I will! thanks for the tip. I don't have the receipt for it though -- will that matter?

As hot as you are, of course it doesn't matter. (Hi PPNYC!!)

Seeing as TM has made me paranoid, I looked around. I was the only asian woman for miles, girl! ha.

I will have you know I am return queen. My husband has me do all the returns because I am charming and can manipulate the salespeople to do my bidding. As well, when I go into Brooks and Paul Stuart, the salespeople drip over me investing hour discussing the styles.

You're right. I am shallow because I think my phone looks cool.

No, you are shallow because you went under anesthesia for bullshit. you could die for such inane shit.

[Project Runway semi-spoiler, although it was a reunion show that didn't give anything away, so I'm not sure this spoiler warning is necessary]

1. The guy who got kicked off for having design books came back with guns-a-blazin', but looked like a fool. You knew you couldn't have the books. When you were confronted you admitted it and slinked away like a beaten puppy. Now you want to say that you were set up by the producers? That the books were magically returned so they could be found to create drama? Please.

Also, he told a PA that he was leaving and the PA pointed him toward the door. Okay. What the fuck are they supposed to do? Tell him he couldn't leave the show if he didn't want to? I've known people on these shows and they always say that you can leave any time you want. If it sounded like he was going to leave the show because he was found out, the PA wasn't going to try to stop him. I'm surprised he came back at all.

2. I hate the rocker dude, because he thinks he's better than he is. But I think he's shown an amazing amount of restraint regarding the mom challenge and Angela and her stupid mother. Sure he wanted to take her opinions into account. Sure he wanted to make something he was happy with and sufficiently reflected his style. She didn't say a damn thing to him throughout the whole process and then, a few hours before he was done, she started complaining. What the fuck was he supposed to do? Start over?

And what the hell is this crap about him being mean to her? She is a grown woman, not a child. He spoke to her like she was a grown woman. "Why am I being treated like this?" "No one talks to me this waaaay." What a weak, whiny loser of a mom. I would have told her that the garment is my responsibility and I need to make something that I'm satisfied will keep me from being eliminated. If she didn't like it, tough shit. She didn't deserve an apology and I'm glad she didn't get one. I can't believe Angela won't let it go and that she feels like her mom is some kind of fragile child. Fuck them both.

3. I despise Laura. I knew Michael would win most favorite. I think it will be between Uli and Michael for the win, although it looks like, in the next episode, the rocker dude may have just used a bunch of stuff he already designed for his collection.

Good shit.

I also dislike Jeffrey. I have since the beginning of the show because of his "I'm the only good one here" crap early on. The events in the mother challenge weren't exactly as you describe them, iirc from that show, because she told him what color pallate she liked and other stuff and he basically ignored her when he went to the fabric store. I think when he showed her the fabric when he got back, she also indicated she didn't like the color. All that aside (and, yes, she took things too personally and was whiney), I thought that he should have gone home on that challange because Angela's mom was his client. He didn't even try to do anything for her and then he yelled at her when she complained. That will get you fired by real clients. Totally unprofessional. His challenge was to work with a difficult, plus-sized client and he totally, miserably failed.

Bandwagon here - Michael and Uli are my faves.

Isn't Vincent at total crackpot? Clearly the producers kept him in the game for so long because he's a nutcase (hi!), but I happended to see that couture episode again yesterday and the whole line about him studying couture and then him throwing out that glued together piece of crap anti-couture dress... I liked it when Laura said he was delusional last night. Question for TM: are all his nutty statements to the press his real opinions or is he just trying to milk the 15 minutes?

Did you look behind you to find out who they were talking about?
