Wednesday Madness

Wednesdays are the best. There's Top Model and Project Runway. Be still my heart. Don't continue to read this if you don't want to be spoilered.

Top Model: I am so loving this cycle. While I can still tell who is going to be bottom two (it is a skill I have honed after 11 cycles of this shit), I didn't actually know who was going home this week. Isis hadn't lived up to the potential that everyone thought she should have, but Samantha really pissed off that designer. However, it's Tyra that makes the decisions and she was done with Isis. I liked Isis and thought she could really be striking in photos but I guess the whole confidence thing really got to her. The cynical part of me wonders why they had two swim suit/water photo shoots in a row when they knew that she was uncomfortable. Hmmmmm.
Also of interest in the episode:
  1. Analeigh rocked! This girl is my favorite and I am so glad she did well. I also love Lauren Brie. Hooray for Laurens!
  2. Did anyone else notice how Tyra totally snapped at Paulina during panel when Paulina expressed an opinion opposite Tyra's? Me thinks this may be Paulina's last year on panel.
  3. Hannah is gone. I don't have much of an opinion on this besides it was an interesting turn of events to eliminate someone midway though the episode.

Project Runway:

This was an okay episode. I knew they were going to be designing clothing for each other, but I didn't know about the twist of having to design for a musical genre. I still don't know if I liked it or not. I thought some of the genres lent themselves to over exaggeration better than others. Of course this could be because I am totally biased and want LeAnne to win.

Here's the breakdown:

LeAnne designed a country outfit for Korto

Korto designed a punk outfit for Suede

Suede designed a rock outfit for Jerell

Jerell designed a pop outfit for Kenley

Kenley designed a hip hop outfit for LeAnne

Out of those genres, punk and rock can really lend themselves to being outlandish but somehow still accepted within society. Hip hop and pop to an extent as well. Country I think though, if LeAnne had really taken it all the way to the extreme, it would have been ridiculous. Like she said, there is a fine line between that and costume. As for Korto winning, I was fine with that. I liked the bleached pants a whole lot.

And as much as it pains me to say, I wish Kenley had gone home over Suede. I don't think Suede is very talented outside of the very small party dress realm, but at least he can keep his attitude in check. Kenley? No one talks back to Tim Gunn. You don't have to take his advice (although that seems to always prove to be a bad idea), but you shouldn't ever talk back to the man. I wish you would leave my tv screen. I also wish you wouldn't blame LeAnne for not being hip hop enough on the runway as the fault for your awful outfit. Shut up.

So in summary Suede out. Korto wins. Jerell is second. LeAnne third and Kenley in last. As she always should be. One step closer to my girl LeAnimal taking the title at Bryant Park!!!

Tomorrow is the Office premiere!
