I also think that the other designers are tired of having SO MUCH focus on the untalented and unoriginal twins. That whole first part where they got their "sew off" and then had their own personal audience with the judges just highlights how much time they take up and how they are catered to. Those two are entitled attention-hungry vampires who suck all the oxygen out of the air, and the judges are just letting them roll that way. I hope I wouldn't behave llike Margarita or Michael, but I certainly get how angry and frustrated they must feel.

Oh, ugh - the movie about the twin gynecologists! That movie was actually based on a real case.

And I want to know why Claire hasn't been auffed for recreating an outfit she wore on an earlier episode (Nike or Adidas or something) for the model challenge, shoulder zip and all.

I'm a bc surivor and I did more than cringe - that was an un-Tim-like gaffe of epic proportions. Kentaro's dress was beautiful and ethereal. It actually did meet the "on-the-go" criteria because his client was on the go to a wedding. Brandon is getting very boring. Margarita is getting more unlikeable. Like Kenya, but that was a mess. Oh, the drama! Yawn. The Entitlement Twins clearly won every millenial participation prize in their enmeshed lives, and their relationship is wierd, even for identicals. And I really don't want to see snot dripping down over those nose rings - ugh. I'm envisioning (or maybe hoping for) a "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane" life for them. "You're too short for that gesture. Besides, it went out with Mrs. Fiske."

I think Abby mentioned in passing that the doctor agreed to refill the prescription after learning that Ray had flushed the first RX down the toilet.

I THINK this is right: Abby was dying of cancer (possibly of the brain, possibly because her untreated breast cancer had metasticized). The convulsion in Las Vegas was a result of her illness, not of the head tauma in the car crash. When Abby did not get into the clinical trial - and she seemed far too advanced in her disease to be accepted by, let alone survive a clinical trial - she decided she wanted to be able to die when and how she chose. After the bar opening she took the sleeping pills that killed her.

Nice way to exploit a horrific event. How would that loud-mouthed has-been know anything about the killer? Maybe some psychiatric meds might help her not be such a nasty jackass.

I assumed from the way the kid looked when Ray injected the drip that he had already had chemo and was being prepped for surgery. There are a lot of cancers that use this protocol in order to shrink tumors before surgically removing them. If that's what it was, his hair would grow back, at least some of it.

I agree about the plot - the lyrics don't have much if anything to do with it. I was thinking more that the song is about dying or getting ready to die (at least I think that's what it's about, but then again when I first heard it in the 70's I thought it was about heroin), and that Abby seemed truly ready to leave this life. Not just at peace with the idea, but connected to it on a primal level. Then I think what the fuck? It's ABBY we're talking about! Well whatever it means, for me that song is draining and unnerving, and it seemed to fit the mood.

I don't agree with everything in this article about Patti Smith, but I thought you might find it interesting: http://observer.com/2015/12/the-staggering-genius-of-patti-smiths-horses/

The kid is dying. He and Bridget talked about his good attitude in the light of this, and it wasn't until after he learned about having been infected so he couldn't be in the trial that he got angry. Ray is a disgusting narcissistic sociopath with no redeeming qualities, period. Even the sociopathic Tony Soprano was more nuanced than Ray, who lost the last tiny bit of goodwill I felt for him last night. I knew it wouldn't happen but I was hoping the Mossad doctor would k.o. him and get out before he could get the syringe. The Patti Smith song was perfectly used, but it was always and still is incredibly hard to listen to.

Exactly right and very well said - I'm applauding! And may I add: my millenial nieces (who live in hipster-land L.A.) wouldn't ever wear the shit the twins produce -or Erin's "I'm such a waif" crap from last season, either.

Gawd what a BORING show! There wasn't one single Wow! look on the runway. I didn't get the hate for Kenya's dress - it was kind of stodgy, but it met the challenge, was well crafted and looked like something that could be worn to an office job. Amy is disappointing, I really expected she'd start showing some real design flare, but that pantsuit was godawful. I liked Margarita in the beginning, but not so much now - she's gotten a progressively nasty undertone to her remarks, and I thought her winning look was a big bland yawn. Kentaro and Brandon are cute, but everything last night had the one-trick pony vibe. Batani's look was SO Junior. And it's way past enough with the twinsies - they may have started out as irritating "drama," but at this point they are just like irritating gnats.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ongoing LMAO at that!

I agree with you about how the show has proceded and expanded, and now that people are really paying attention I want the authorities to a) find Shelly and b) take the tax exemption away from this slimy cult.

I've been puzzling over Brandon's look since day 1 - sometimes liking what he does, sometimes disliking it, but always feelinlg like it's ALMOST something I've seen before. Looking at the photo above it finally hit me: I've been buying "repurposed" or "upcycled" clothing for a few years mainly off Etsy, and while there are a milion different ways to repurpose/upcycle by taking different garments and pieces of fabric and putting them together for a one-of-a-kind look, that is very much what Brandon's stuff reminds me of. Not judging that one way or another, but I'm curious to kow if it strikes anyone else the same way. eta: One difference is that Brandon's stuff is a bit more urban and hip, while a lot of repurposed stuff is more on the hippie/gypsy side.

Good for Amy! Maybe this is what all the teases about cheating are leading up to. And Hair had the nerve to ooh and ahh over her own shoulder zipper, which turns out. . . wasn't her own at all. Well for everything the twinsies lack in taste, manners, creativity, self-awareness and humility, they certainly make it up with an embarrassing excess of arrogance.

Holy 80's batman - your post just made the image of Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come on Eileen" flash through my mind! And it's been a long, long time since I thought about that, so I looked it up and you are SO right about the outfits!

So disappointed in Margarita - the outfit was dated and meh, but it wasn't the model's fault and blaming her was really tacky. And also in Samantha, who i thought had much more potential than she turned out to have. That being said, gimme a break - her look was worse than Claire's garbage bag and hooker-shorts? No, it wasn't. And Shorn in the top? No, just no. I didn't hate Kenya's nearly as much as a lot of posters, it was definitely oddly retro and I wasn't crazy about the fabrics, but it made me laugh to see a Courtney Love-alike walking the runway. Batani's should have been in the bottom simply for being a costume. I actually liked Brandon's look better this week than the one he won for last week, but he really needs to step out of his comfort zone - although if it's menswear next week, he's definitely safe. Kentaro's win was absoutely deserved - great, inventive look that someone tall enough could actually wear. Are they really going to let the twins be a team? Well, if they are together, at least it will cut down on the hysterical running and shouting - their double narcissism, entitlement and 5th grade hyperactivity make me want to put duct tape on their mouths, and neither one has produced anything above "Forever 21" grade.

Two thumbs up for everything in your post! The writing is awful and Biel has one expression no matter what insanity is happening around her. I've been hanging in just to see how they wrap a million loose ends up, but I suspect I've been wasting my time.

Thank you! I'd forgotten about that.

Well he's got Lena, who could definitely use more screen time. At least they had her snagging the blackmail box and hiding in the trunk last night. I know I'm drifting during this season because I don't like it enough to pay close attention, but can someone explain what was going on with Terry, Bridget and the kid with cancer, and why Terry was praying in church? Also, why Bunchy is facing four life sentences?

LOL, thank you for clearing that up - I was worried (not) that the poor things were trying some peculiar method of overcoming speech impediments. LOVE "mcfakenstein"!

She is so likeable! I was disappointed in her good-evil dress, but I think she has a distinct vision and hasn't gotten recognition for the interesting stuff she has sent down the runway.
