  1. Sooo glad Henry and Evan lost. Evan's vocal fry just about killed me every time she opened her mouth, and her nose ring repulsed me because it looked like snot from a distance. But beyond the superficial, something about her seems so very phony--I think her whole persona is carefully designed to disguise her inherent beyotchi-ness. Henry needs to flee, but I get the impression he's a shy nerd in thrall to the pretty girl who for some reason wants him, so he'll stick like glue. (And yes, I'm a terrible person.)
  2. I didn't think I could dislike Brandon's art projects (sorry, they don't qualify as clothes in my world) any more than I already did, but the flamingo collection took the cake. The only thing I hate more than his designs is his own Hare Krishna look. I predict that even if he wins, his career will go nowhere.
  3. The Brit version was back tonight, but what an odd store to pair with Kleinfeld! It seems more like the David's Bridal of the UK--the fitting rooms are tiny, the selection limited, and the dresses very downscale in price and appearance. Having the US version first in the lineup only makes the UK one look cheesy by comparison, which really isn't fair, since I'm sure it represents the kind of store the majority of brides are shopping at in both countries. I guess none of the more upscale salons across the pond wanted to be part of American reality TV.
  4. Re the deoderant, I use, and I think most people use, an antiperspirant or combined antiperspirant/deoderant. There's nothing appealing about wet armpits and wet rings on clothing, odorless as they might be, so I can't see this product succeeding. I was surprised no one made this point.
  5. Forty years of watching SNL, and this may have been the worst episode ever. Take one unfunny sketch after another, add a host with no facility for humor, and top it off with the fact that at least 50% of Henson's lines were completely unintelligible---I honestly have no clue what she was saying in that last mess---and, well, I was embarrassed for everyone.
  6. I get that this is entertainment and doesn't reflect how Lemonis or anyone else conducts business, and I'm okay with that. I'm sure the producers knew they were dealing with lowlife scammers 24 hours into their introduction to the charming Swanson family, but they needed to fill an hour. Hence all the dumb conversations about the BMW, as if a leased 3 series was meaningful in light of everything else that was going on. What I don't get is why the family chose to participate in the show. Surely they knew their business couldn't withstand the most cursory review, and no investment was ever going to happen. And now their entire community knows they are guilty of insurance fraud and deceptive business practices. Who would even trust their labeling of fish at this point? Fairfield is a small town. There's not a resident who hadn't seen or heard about the Swansons true nature by this morning. I certainly wouldn't do business with a bunch of thieves, and I doubt many others will either, so what was the point if the whole exercise? It's a shame--I remember when the store was a reliable place to get good fish and good service. The founder must be rolling in his grave.
