Does Abby feel responsible for the death of Clarke's father? I thought was a thing before that she knew it had to be done since he broke the rules and so she doesn't feel guilty about it or something.. At least I'm hoping I remember that right so Abby does actually know that Clarke is full of shit. Plus, she needs a nightblood to make more nightbloods... unless she was just going to get equipment, I'd think the technology they have on the planet is enough to do a bone marrow extraction... So maybe she was going because she figured it out.

I don't think it will matter to the primes that Clarke was made a nightblood, they won't want it to get out to the general population i'd think, but would want to know just to save themselves. I'm sure the original primes were all "made" into nightbloods before they were shipped out, so it's not like they tie it to some god thing the way the grounders had. ( I mean, that talk about it like that and some people probably believe it's divine, but the primes know the truth.)

Looking through the pictures, Hester's was sooo poorly done. I think she should have been the bottom if she didn't have immunity. It's ill fitting and just looks ridiculous.. which is saying a lot for an Elton John challenge! I'm okay with them not putting her in the bottom due to her immunity, since she shouldn't get the benefit of a critique or turn the bottom three into two like she did last time she had immunity... but still... that outfit was a joke and is really pathetic that she gets to stay in the competition for it. Immunity should give you a chance to really experiment and take risks, but that's not what she did. I'm good with the winning look, but agree that it could have gone to either of the top 2, they both said Elton John to me. I'm good with the aufing this week too... so I guess the judges aren't completely off the rails...

This is the thing that bothers me so much about this show. Everyone everywhere jumps straight to attack, violence shoot first!!! Instead of just talking. This was the same problem last season- yes it was a ship full of prisoner so be wary, but both sides were dumb because they were the only people left on earth and more diversity in skills and genetics is how you get a successful new world. What the hell was dioza going to do with a bunch of violent criminals anyway? (not that they necessarily were all violent, but it seemed that way) So this season we start off in a brand new place, fresh start, yay! And the people from this new planet start off attacking, and then wonder why 3 of the 4 of them are now dead. Talk to the ship, find out what's going on, who they are, why they are here.... how did they get there after 200 years etc. Why jump to "take the bridge, lock people up" We somehow know how this ship works 200 years later when none of our original crew still exist. I mean, their other ship could still exist and be functional to a degree, but then why are they still on the planet if they have a ship? It just seems to stupid to me that everyone starts off killing people instead of just talking to them/trying to work together.

I like raw cookie dough... but just like a few bites... the whole scoop of it just seemed like way too much for me, and then when she showed the bigger sizes (and the price!) I was definitely out... If i'm going to eat a big scoop of calories, it's going to be ice cream... or baked cookies and milk... The desk thing looked more like a shelf, and not wide enough to really be useful, especially for that price! FFwd most of the dip holder thing... it seemed like a joke product. The private space thing does serve a good purpose, but just goes to show why the open concept office thing is not great for productivity and why cube farms just make people unhappy. I know individual offices cost more money and space... but at the price of those units, you could almost put in some offices... or just make ceiling height mobile cube walls.

She was in Firefly/Serenity, she is also Wade Wilson's girlfriend in the Deadpool movies... she has been in other stuff too, but those are the main things I know her from.

Nope, judges are crazy... I love Morena, but loving that swimsuit is not good... it was not a good look and the model's butt was eating it as she walked the runway, that is not a good fitting swimsuit. The coverup thing also was just such a mishmash of dangly fabric. I hated it. Bishme's top and pants were great and I would have given him the win. I liked Jamal's idea and it could have worked if he had trimmed a lot of that gauzy skirt stuff.. the longer top with the cutouts could have worked as a sort of swim dress but that hem got too wacky. I can't believe the middle team wasn't the top. I get where the looks were a little boring, but they all looked great, and Tessa had a larger model (I think it was Tessa) and it fit beautifully and looked good on the model. Sebastian's swimsuit was awesome and sounded like what she was looking for for the beach. The bottom team was definitely the bottom 😛 Those yellow pants were so bad.. I wish they wouldn't judge team challenges as a team, because then you could still pick the best and the worst and one really bad outfit doesn't have to sink the whole team. But not like that would matter, clearly Hester can do no wrong despite sending ridiculous clothes down the runway.

While Jon didn't do a lot in this episode, if he had stayed dead, there wouldn't be anyone to fight this fight- he wouldn't have gone to Dany or got the dragon glass... Though then they wouldn't have had a dead dragon to burn down the wall either... but it seems like that was inevitable once Bran got marked by the Night King.

I'm just glad that the judges didn't fall all over that pasties mess with praise.... It was hideous but I was afraid they were going to love it. I hope we are all wrong and Tessa isn't getting a free pass because she's quirky. I liked the winning design accept for the pouch at the front, it just seemed odd how it stuck out. I didn't think Bishme's was that bad, though it was hard to see the details on the skirt that got to be too much. I don't really know what the answer is to having different sized models aside from I do think it shouldn't even be an issue... like let the designers think it in their heads if they must but keep it to yourself and do your job. They should be able to design for all sizes and it shouldn't be some handicap to have a "curvy" model. Even complaining in the talking heads is one thing, but to do it in front of the judges and everyone... lame. I do remember Christian having issues back when he was a tiny PR baby in having a larger model who also had strong opinions on what she wanted her dress to be like, so I am glad to see that now he has grown from there and embraces dressing women of all sizes.

I agree with the auf, but not the win. It was definitely Rakan's time to go... and the other bottom looks belonged there, though I would have put Hester's look near the bottom too. It was too costum-ey and the clear plastic things were horrifying... All I can think of were those awful "mom" jeans with clear plastic knees that were floating around on the internet earlier this year. She didn't look cool or kick ass to me with a clear backpack full of flowers or whatever was in there. I agree that the dominatrix look is way over done, but at least it was well constructed!! Tessa's look was good, even if it was boring... and was a good way to show a "character" with some backstory but without sexualizing the character. There were more looks in the middle that I felt also were able to pull that off and wish we could have seen those designs more up close. Still enjoying this new season, but the judges are back to pretty standard levels of WTF juding...

Uh oh... I hope this is a fluke and not the judging going off the rails... I’m mostly ok with their top looks but definitively would have sent Kovid home for his mess. imI also don’t get why they were giving Afa such a hard time about his model being cold. Hester’s look covered about the same amount of skin and there was a whole outfit that was just netting... just because that specific model was cold shouldn’t have led to his aufing... not that it was a great outfit, but it had a story and some nice details behind it.

I mostly agreed with the judging tonight, though I would have picked Sebastian for the winner. Hester's outfit was "fun" but I didn't think it was that amazing. She was all about that picnic. I agreed with the bottom looks and was glad they sent Nadine home. I wondered if they were going to end up sending the guy home and then have Nadine volunteer to go instead... but just sending her was easier. Some of the "safe" looks were actually pretty cool, it would have been nice to get a closer look at them. It was overall, a fun challenge. Watching All Stars just before watching this one, this show is just so much more positive. Even with Nadine being super grumpy, there wasn't as much bitching about other people's outfits or stealing sewing machines or whatever. The designers are competing but still supportive of each other and helping each other. It's nice. I'm actually looking forward to the unconventional challenge next week, I always like that one, and this one looks to be a full on adventure.

The only thing that bothers me is that she says "You ARE out" or "You ARE in" instead of "You're out" it just sounds so much more stilted then when Heidi would say it (and maybe Heidi was saying the full words but it all ran together much more smooth with her accent)

I enjoyed this episode a lot, though knew it was going to have a sad ending for Gordon. The cigarette thing was hilarious... too bad Bortus didn't still have his mustache. I know the crew was kind of worried about Gordon and his simulation, but I would have expected Ed to be more into visiting a construct of the real 2015 since he was so into early earth history stuff- Kermit the Frog, old school movies etc. I would love to see the crew playing pictionary or something.

You can win, and then just get immunity two weeks in a row... was it Jeffry way back when who was all smug about winning after being the winner the week before?

Another good episode... and judging that isn't insane. The top team was definitely the top, though the back gills team also could have been the top and I would have been okay with that too. I also agree with the worst team and who they sent home. I was all for Frankie getting a second chance, but she blew it and had to go. It sounds like their ideas just didn't come together. I do think the location of their body mod made their thing more challenging- aside from a strapless dress/shirt a lot of straps and other things would get in the way of showcasing the feathers and that strip down the mid chest looked awful and ill fitting. I also agree with the above poster who said team shoulder horns was a tie for the loss. Those outfits didn't fit well, which was maybe due to poor fabric choice in addition to that stupid tulle.... and dumb ?hester switching back and forth on her fabrics and cutting them up but not using them, so rude! There is drama in this show but it doesn't irritate me as much yet as it has in other seasons... but we'll see if it gets to me more in a few episodes. I also like that they are back to visiting the designers in their hotel/whatever in between work room shots. Those little things make this show much more pleasant.

I'm glad the picked Biddell as the winner, I thought his outfits were the most well done and really loved his teen girl look. It was a different shape/neckline from most of what we see and I actually really loved that print. I thought his looks also fit together like a collection, so he was the winner for me for sure. I did agree that the mom's skirt felt a little "office" but it still looked nice. Michelle's outfits.. man that jumpsuit was so bad. I know black/blue together can be a thing but the short sleeve jump suit with dark long sleeves under it and no details to see was awful. I felt bad for him having to wear it. All of her clothes seemed to have no connection to each other. Print mixing is one thing, but they were separate outfits that had nothing to do with each other- the strips and then the colorful splotches on grandma... what?? Dimitri's stuff was just boring... the same cut out thing he's been doing and the man's outfit was terrible. Irina was okay, she was probably my second favorite, though the outfits weren't anything out of this word and I can't even remember enough to describe what I liked or didn't :P That's this season... forgettable!

I actually like the Kudobanz thing and ordered some for my kids... I don't think it's advertising good behavior or anything, because it just looks like random jewelry that kids wear. I do think it's certainly for little kids, which is why I ordered it- more for my 3 year old than my 6 year old. I also liked that you can tailor it to your kids needs. There have been tons of studies that show positive re-enforcement works better than negative, so I don't have a problem with "rewards." My kids won't be earning kudos for eating dinner or not whining... but if they do a good job behaving in a new situation... or staying in bed at night (that's my 3 year old's problem right now) a specific goal/ behavior we want to improve, then I could see it working well. But I guess we'll see.... so far this is the only thing I've had any interest in buying from 10 seasons of shark tank... And if it doesn't work for behavior, my kids will still love a fun new changeable bracelet to wear- it's similar to the magic band buddies for disney magic bands or those buttons people put in their crocs...

I'm saddened about no more Garage Sale Mysteries, since they were fun... but really, I would be fine if they just recast her role and used the scripts they already have... They replaced the husband no fuss after the first movie... Someone should just be like "Oh, I love your new haircut!!" and then go on as if she's the same character. I have no desire to watch LL in anything after this scandal (Just as I won't watch Rosanne or Cosby or many of these shows with crappy human beings in them) but I liked to setting of the antique shop and how the murders came about. Though if LL Is part of the production team, then that wouldn't be happening. Either way, I hope they can find some new mysteries to fill the gap, that's what I want from the HMM channel.... Add me to the people who hate all of the months of christmas movies- unless you can make a christmas murder mystery! I like the Fixer uppers and Murder she baked, so I wish we could get more of those.

I am really glad to see PR back on Bravo, I hope the rest of the season continues in this vein- linger challenges, more supportive cast... not completely bonkers judging. i was okay with the top and bottom looks; mostly... though the winning dress was middle of the road to me. I think part of the problem was how it was cut in the front and the fact that models don’t wear undergarments... the dress seemed to hang from her nipples and it just wasn’t appealing to me. I agree that I would have picked the other dress as the winner. I was also okay with the person who was aufed her outfit was boring and I still have flashbacks from whichever season that was where one of the top designers kept making boring skirts and crop tops with gallons of praise. Frankie was drama tastic, but I would rather see more from her than Cavenaugh. I think her outfit could have been neat and tasteful if she had enough time and it covered more of the models booty. I loved the blue and the striping she did... she also was getting so much screen time I had a feeling she was staying, since why give the sob story only to eliminated her? In a few episodes it would have been the loser edit. Christian was very much channeling Tim Gunn with his mannerisms and just his approach to the contestants. I miss Tim but Christian was a better mentor than I expected. Comparing this to All Stars is not even a fair comparison it is so many miles better! Hopefully the season will only get better!!

Uh... I was almost glad for Nina for a second when she dissented and liked Anthony Ryan's dress... While the feathers did feel off, especially when the dress was standing still, the silhouette was nice and flattering and it looked well finished. I liked the yellow on the sleeves. I didn't mind the feathers as much when it was walking, but I get that the judges didn't like them overall... but still, it didn't make his dress the worst by a long shot. Michelle's should have definitely gone home, I can't believe Isaac could call it a crafting/felt project and still think it should stay over Anthony Ryan. Dimitri's was okay, it had some good ideas but the execution was lacking and definitely didn't seem fancy enough. I liked both Biddell and Irina's, though I agree another layer of tulle in her skirt would have helped. The red looked great, though it did make the model look really wide. This judging is such garbage.

What I wasn't clear on was, didn't Lila leave to try and get to the CDC? That would make me think she took the remaining dose of the cure along with her, but then it looked to me like Amy gave Wolgast the cure... so ????

I don't get how Babcock saved Richards... didn't they say earlier that every time they tried to change the virus, it would revert to essentially the original and they still ended up with a new viral? So just giving him her blood should have made him turn. I also thought they said that Amy's blood wasn't enough- that's why they struggled so long to finally find a cure, so her blood shouldn't do anything good either. I assumed she gave Wolgast the cure, not just injected him with her blood, though I thought Lilah took the cure, so I don't get it and they kind of changed the rules on us. But that said, I am glad that gives us the chance to see more of these characters in the future and not as mindless vampire things. I expect they will bring in plenty of new characters from the books, but change the story in a way to keep Wolgast and Amy along with Fanning/Babcock central to the story. I haven't read the actual books, just summaries, but we don't really know much about the other 12 besides Carter and Martinez, so I figure we won't get to know too many more of the 12 if there is another season since there are already a lot of characters. But I guess we'll find if we get another season.

I get the complaints about Anthony Ryan's thing missing a sleeve... but really in cold weather sometimes you were impractical stuff because you aren't going to be outside long.... Living in the midwest, we still go places when there is snow everywhere, but if it's going from the car into a restaurant or event, I could see wearing a statement piece without a sleeve and just bearing the cold for the brief moments outside. I know that wasn't the challenge, but none of these outfits were for spending lots of time and staying outdoors, aside from maybe the miami beachy kind of things...

Like always I don't get what the judges are smoking because I don't agree again at all. Definitely not with Michelle as the winner.... her outfit was fug and didn't fit the challenge- a raincoat should cover your head and it seemed like the one guest judge was getting at that earlier in the critique but then said nothing about it when they got to Michelle. I also didn't think their bottom two were that bad. The flowy one looked cool as she walked and was functional to cover up more, and while it was a lot of straps that wrapping and wrapping looked cool around the waist. I also didn't hate the jumpsuit. It was different with the slimy plastic looking stuff and had some cute details. It seemed miami to me. Anthony Ryan's look is the same as the look that got sent home last week- one long sleeve, one bare arm... some sort of strappyness to the arm... though overall I liked his look (and liked the eliminated design a lot last week too) even if her arm would get cold. The cape should have been wider in the back that she could grab it and pull it forward over her cold arm if necessary. Dimitri's was terrible... what was he even making????? That dress might have been thin fabric but didn't look comfortable for hot weather and his coat was so disconnected! ugh. He should have been in the bottom. I liked Irina's and it was the most functional for the challenge. She thought about fabrics that would protect from the weather. I don't get the problem they had with the pants. This show needs to be over... I hope Bravo has something better for us.
