Wish they hadn't gotten rid of Duncan - I felt out of him and the other designer he would have been more likely to take the judges' criticism to heart for the next challenge. But the second he told them he was still figuring out his point of view I knew he was a goner. After this many seasons, contestants should know - have a point of view or design aesthetic set before showing up. Even if you have to pivot from it based on the criticism, at least you have a starting point to pivot FROM.

You are correct -- that's slippery Pete the electrician, played by Peter Stomare.
For me he will always be the Russian astronaut from Armageddon - "American components, Russian components - ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!"

Anstar, if you search for the headline under Google News you should be able to view the whole article.

Really hoping it lands somewhere else and they are given an opportunity to the right the ship after this last season. It was so good in the beginning.

I was pulled out by the sheer implausibility of it all. First of all, the social worker and the officer that spoke with Carter in the beginning - completely tone deaf as far as extending compassion to someone who has clearly been raised to believe she is someone else. Her real parents would never have been able to burst into the room like that - their first meeting would have been facilitated by someone like the social worker to introduce them slowly and in a way that wouldn't psychologically scar Carter any more than she already has been. The idea that she would immediately be placed into a new school or get a job right off the bat also seemed to stretch it in terms of plausibility - from all the real life kidnapping accounts I've read the victims were slowly integrated into their new/old lives. I realize that they have a limited number of episodes to work with in a season, but this seemed ridiculously quick. She would also definitely be in counseling, likely with someone who specializes in issues like this.
The idea that her real mother would have been involved in the arresting of her kidnapper - ludicrous, with her being a party of interest in the case. The idea that her "mother" would be able to evade an entire police force surrounding the yogurt shop by putting on a visor and apron? I was pounding the couch at the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
There seems to be very little to ground all of this in any kind of reality. I like Alexis Denisof, and the younger brother, but the premiere was just irksome from beginning to end. I realize that Carter is supposed to be expressing some sort of denial about the entire situation, since she has effectively been ripped away from the only mother she has ever known, but the actress comes across as just a brat and completely insensitive to what her family has gone through.

But wouldn't that have also implicated Hector, he beat the guy up and took his teeth. I'm not saying that Hector would have lied about it, but Henry said that they didn't want to get Hector arrested...wouldn't have his testimony gotten him arrested? I just don't understand some of the plotting and motivations on this show.
I think it was more of a Hail Mary on their part and they hadn't thought it all the way through first - they were just trying to get Step 1 done (find Hector) and then go from there. I agree though that considering what we've seen of Hector he'd be more inclined to say "Hell no" if asked to testify for the exact reason that without any other obvious suspects, Hector would then become Suspect #1. Not to mention that Henry likely would still face some other charges of having hired a man to beat a guy up (although from the conversation at the end of last season between Walt, Hector, and Henry, it looked like Henry had clearly at least attempted to hire Hector to kill Miller Beck since he assumed Hector had done it until Hector corrected him that he doesn't kill on principle). It's just a giant labyrinth of a plot thread at this point.

What was Hector supposed to do for Henry? Isn't that why they were looking for him, because he had something to offer in Henry's case?
Hector can explain how and why Henry had the teeth of the man who killed Martha in his possession. Since that's the only real "evidence" that links Henry to the death of Martha's murderer, assuming they could have convinced Hector to testify, and that a judge would have taken it as the truth, Hector's testimony could have exonerated Henry.

BTW, what happened to Lizzie (she's the ditzy blonde, right?)?
Lizzie basically broke up with Walt after she found Vic staying at his place last season when she was dealing with her stalker. I don't believe they've shown Lizzie since then.
I don't mind Vic so much as a character (though I cringed at her behavior at the pageant). I do think however that this is a place they should diverge from the books, at least, in regards to her and Walt hooking up. They didn't seem to have that kind of chemistry or relationship dynamic until the writers started to hit us over the head with it (Vic hiding Lizzie's present to Walt even though she tried to get him to ask Lizzie out in the first place, for example). When Lizzie finds Vic at Walt's, she even makes some comment about how she thought there were feelings there - I'd like that to have actually been shown instead of told to us. While I think they've tried to put some kind of foundation down on Vic's end (the gift incident, telling Walt while drugged that he's a real man unlike Sean in the episode she went hunting with Omar), as far as I could see we saw NO reciprocation from Walt at all. I don't think it works organically.

(Bolded parts mine) I agree. Had it just been the "cat fishing" without the violence and blackmail, okay, I could see Emmett taking the high road because he felt empathy for Matthew. However there is NO EXCUSE for violence. Like what in the world. Having issues in your personal life, valid or not is not an excuse to physically attack other people. It's really not.
That's exactly it. It wasn't someone playing an internet/texting prank on someone - he lured him to a remote location so that he could assault him. Whatever is going on in your personal life, that's not okay, and I hated how even Bay by the end was pretty much "water under the bridge" about it. It really sends a message that so long as someone has a "reason" it's okay for them to do something like that. I really wish that the writers had gone a different way with that - in real life, it would hardly end as neatly as it did when Bay and later Emmett spoke to him.
Also, it bugged me when Regina was on the phone with 911 and they asked her if they should still send a car when the guy staking her place out vanished. In real life, they would send one automatically even if she told them not to. They have no way of knowing whether the person on the other end of the line is being coerced into calling off the police - a squad car still would have been sent.
They may be little things, but they take me out of the show - this show gets it so right so often that when it goes the cheap dramatic route it bothers me!

The entire storyline with Emmett really made me uncomfortable tonight. Obviously, Matthew is having a hard time and part of his lashing out at Emmett was in response to his unwillingness or inability to come out/his feelings for him - but Emmett is supposed to negate blackmail, his mother getting suspended (granted, for her own heated moment), and, oh yea, the beating he received after being catfished and lured into a secluded location because Matthew happened to have romantic feelings for him? It really bothered me that all the characters basically counseled him to drop the situation...that's not a message I would want to be sending to my teen. Whatever his personal issues, he assaulted and blackmailed Emmett. There is no excusing that.

S14.E04: Fashion Flip
in Project Runway

I'm sorry, but Blake winning was complete crap. I don't care how "innovative" it was - it was shoddy construction and poorly executed. For him to be in the top, let alone win over Candace or even Swapnil, is just utterly ridiculous. My entire household erupted at that moment. I don't know what the heck they were thinking.
