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!

Project Runway Premere

First off- I love that ANTM and Project Runway are on the same night due to the fact that I can spend an entire night in my sweats and berate reality show participants. However, I hate it due to the fact that there is no way I can write about both within a timely fashion. I will attempt to get some thoughts up about PR because I just can't keep the thoughts inside my head.

On the whole- I was kind of bored by this episode. I mean I loved it because it was so long in coming that I would have loved anything they put in front of me, but really? the "challenge"? I could have made something fashionable with $50,000 worth of fabric and 11 hours to do it in. And it would have looked better than Simone's dress. Sorry Simone- you seemed like a very nice person and perhaps a good designers, but you just couldn't handle the pressure. And if you couldn't handle this challenge, it was better to go home now.

What I do like (and from what I've read- I am not alone)- Is Chris. I loved his dress. he was totally robbed of a top three spot. I also just love him. He seems very fun to hang out with. I also like Sweet P. Those two have my early favorite spots.

I also liked Elisa. She is much better than last season's crazies: Angela and Vincent, by like a million. Also - grass stains on expensive fabric while Tim Gunn looks on with such disapproval. You know he wanted to say something about that and couldn't find the right words.

I didn't really like Rami's dress. Perhaps is was his model who looks like she's huge (by model standards-not mine) and is rather scary looking. Good thing he will be able to upgrade next week.

All in all- an okay episode. Hopefully we kick it up next week and they have to design a garment totally out of shoelaces or something.
