The thing about Bethenny commenting on Jules and her weight is that no matter what the truth is, it's still an asshole move because: 1. if Jules does in fact have an eating disorder, making snarky remarks doesn't help the matter at all and makes you an asshole and 2. if she doesn't have one, you're still making nasty remarks for the sake of trying to be so glib and funny you're an asshole as well.

I wish when some judge asked the queen to show her real self on the stage, a queen would retort, "Isn't that what Untucked is for?"

This episode just highlighted how boring the Sam/Kini conflict is because neither one of them really brings it as either the villain or the hero. Kini is more whiny than anything and him still harping on that earlier challenge seems like someone who likes to play victim instead of actually actively engaging in trying to right a wrong. And Sam is not that spectacular of a villain because he doesn't really give amazing fashions or quotes to justify him. He is just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill guy who has gotten this far probably because he had the good fortune of being young, in the distant suburbs of competent and not ugly. So basically just described a contingency of guys you'd bump into at Hamburger Mary's on a Tuesday night.

I really liked the homage to Sunset Blvd. with the whole opening with Archer floating in the pool and a faded Hollywood actress potentially the "murderer."

I couldn't deal with Zanna's outfit at all. She showed up looking like Little Acid Trip on the Prairie.

I can't be the only person who was surprised that there wasn't aggressive flirting from Sam at Brad Goreski. I mean, Brad being married is known fact but so is Sam being shameless so I was surprised he didn't try it. Or if he did, it didn't make it to air.

Harvey is reaching RuPaul levels of self-promotion when it comes to the foisting of Finding Neverland onto the viewers. Speaking of Drag Race, Sam and Kini's drama would be a lot more entertaining if one of them screamed "GO BACK TO JOANN FABRIC WHERE YOU BELONG"/'TIRED ASS SEAMSTRESS" at each other like Phi Phi and Sharon on Drag Race.

I think it could've been strategy because you know the judges would've dinged the New York group for going the safe route and doing punk because that would've been the very thing everybody expected from them. Michelle's critique of Acid Betty's outfit didn't make a lot of sense to me because yeah it was retro 50s but the obvious inspiration were the B-52s who were the 1950s/60s run through dayglo paint.

Erika traveling with her glam squad reminds me of Caroline Stanbury having her makeup/hair guy with everywhere they went, including vacations and having him do the makeup of the other ladies on Ladies of London. But at least he was super cute and seemed to fit into the group as opposed to Erika's paid friends.

Not to sound all cynical but Robbie Turner ending up in the bottom when it just so happens to be a roller skate runway and he just happens to have been a competitive skater reeks of producer manipulation. Not that his performance didn't warrant being in the bottom three.

Right?! Thorgy Thor, especially in that ensemble, was turning the party.

The Lisa Vanderpump is manipulative thing is so tiresome at this point. If a person is allegedly manipulative and everybody seems to agree that person is manipulative is that person actually that manipulative or are people just really willing to be used because of their own personal agendas

Like how is it remotely a blind runway, though, if Alyssa was there when each designer was choosing their naturist?

I don't care how petty it was, the room reading the absolute mess out of Sam is going to be the highlight of the season, especially Alexander referencing Sam flirting with the judges. Is that good sportsmanship? Not in the least. Does it make for great viewing? You bet your ass it does. And you just know that some, if not all, the frustration from the designers are stemming from the fact that it's pretty obvious that a fix is in in terms of Sam lasting long on this show as some sort of way to validate his shit season of Under the Gunn.

Nothing quite sums up the unintentional hilarity of this show quite like a group of women passionately debating about who said what about the other like it is of the utmost importance while in the midst of helping to redo houses for underprivileged people.

Stella's outfit looked like something you'd see on RuPaul's Drag Race during the first challenge when they have to sew using unconventional materials.

Zanna should be fired for wearing Mrs Roper couture. And I think that Daniel Franco's ensemble in the middle looked like maternity lingerie.

I clearly am part of Broad City's target audience because my reaction to Lincoln on the trapeze was immediately, "I remember when they did this on Sex and the City" and then a few seconds later Lincoln referencing that made me laugh so hard.

I thought it was hilarious that in one segment Zanna is telling Ken about how 2005 his design in and in the next breath is, from what I recall, suggesting to Fade to do the oh-so-innovative thing of putting graffiti on his ensemble. I honestly thought that Daniel franco was cast on this season as an easy first out for the judges.

Off to a WTF start, especially this show essentially rewarding two people for having shitty designs by not eliminating them. Matthew and Sam seem to be vying for the Bitchy Gay role on this show and there were so many talking head interviews from both of them. And Zanna has some kind of nerve talking about anybody's fashion when she showed up to that work room looking like aggressive shit.

Tara's an idiot and just reminds me of when Mo'nique hosted the reunion and basically got Tara/Peter to admit that Tara had gotten with him while he was seeing somebody else. And I'll never forget Mo'nique being like, "Well then don't be mad at Amina since it was just your turn."

The Bethenny/Erika stuff felt like Bethenny and production thought they were going to get another Bethenny/Sonja moment from last season of RHONY, where Bethenny offers sage advice to do a dim blond who yells and screams her delusions and makes Bethenny look like the wise gal. But Erika was calm and didn't give a fuck about Bethenny's opinion so the harder Bethenny tried to offer advice and provoke a reaction, the more it didn't work.

My biggest problem was the plotting. Mainly every time they introduced some large hurdle, it felt like it got resolved within one or two scenes.

All I know is that I'm waiting for the next official spin-off of Project Runway called Project Runway: Neverland because Weinstein is really about promoting his Broadway show.

Yeah, I thought that was super weird if only because they made such a big deal of showing in the black briefs during the seduction scene.
