I heard that too. I actually rewound twice trying to decipher Michelle's mumbling then gave up.

Are cookies a traditional Thanksgiving food? I don't doubt people eat them on Thanksgiving, but calling them "traditional" might be a stretch, with the whole cooking with grandma build-up. Speaking of, I'm never sure if winning the "extra pair of hands" is really a good thing. I think the person would get in the way.

I think Jenni might have been safe if she had just scrapped the pants and replaced them with a black pencil skirt at the last minute. You can't unsee those pants.

I agree. Did Jenni even say that outfit was meant to be worn at work? If so I missed it.

They better go back to one-day challenges if this is the fug that gets produced over the course of two days.

This is SO much better than the Halloween version! I really like Duff as a judge. I liked the holiday beverage challenge. All the wreath cakes looked too wet and underbaked on the inside though.

Erin will be in there. The judges will say they "want to see more from her". Someone upthread alluded to this, but Cornelius will be around for a while now, because eliminating him next week would be like a slap in the face to Tim.

I can't even focus on the game play, I'm too freaked out by that raw chicken that was sitting out in the sun. I thought last week's milk was bad.

I missed the explanation for this - why did Derick need that extreme dental surgery?

I wonder if the producers told Michelle to yell things like "First one to get my cookies in the oven!" or if she really just is that annoying. I was hoping for a Tamara win.

Calling this show "Project Runway" is a stretch. What does the male investor do again? He seems kind of sketchy.

I liked Rick's black outfit, from the two seconds we saw of it.

Regarding the judges - two guest judges is really unnecessary. All they do is parrot what the other three say anyway, and it makes the judging part long and boring. Plus when they hate an outfit, it gets piled on by 5 people, and then I feel bad for the designer. One useless guest judge is plenty IMO.

THIS. I was just about to comment on this myself. WTF? She saw the shower rack on the floor and asked for prayers??

Yuck - Erin and Dexter showed their true colors last night. What a couple of nasty, smug, obnoxious people. I wanted to knock those pink glasses off Erin's face, and that was before she spent an entire day telling herself, Dexter and anyone else within earshot how vastly superior her tight ugly 80's Dynasty dress was.

I love that David used his idol to save Jessica, and then the next thing we see is Jessica pledging her loyalty to... Ken. Not David. Ken, who voted for her. Ha! Poor David.

I really need Taylor and Figgy to stop referring to themselves as a "power couple." It's arrogant and inaccurate, since they have literally done nothing so far. Plus they're gross and annoying.

Jana looks like she's hanging by a thread.

Right. And then the judges complain that it doesn't look like a clown.

I wonder if that kid even likes Ferraris. He probably wanted Sponge Bob or something.

Oh, Brik. Did anyone else hear him suggest that their whole collection contain suspenders? And Laurent's quick "NO." I'm fine with Alex going. He seemed nice and competent, but I don't remember one thing he's designed so far.

I was worried Jinger was going to kayak into a tree, the way her eyes were fixated on Jeremy. It's actually really creepy. He's going to get sick of that eventually. She looks so strange amongst his friends and other humans, like she's from a different planet. I don't think it's a good long-term match.

I am assuming they knew ahead of time what they were going to make for the pie crust challenge. No way could they conceive and bake those items in 30 minutes. So did they know about the cake challenge too? If so, was the last minute card switcheroo also fake? I don't believe any of these challenges are a surprise.

Don't you mean her "dossier"? LOL

I was curious about that the whole time. Did they get to choose the kind of fabric their pattern would be printed on? Obviously the swimsuit and the wrap would be entirely different materials. Jenny's top, for example, looked like stretchy swimsuit material, but some of those droopy other ones did not.
