I was on Jeopardy, and we had to pay our own travel and lodging (although there was a nice discount on their preferred hotel.) If you win and have to fly back out again ala Ken Jennings, they'll pay for that. But even a third place finish gets you a thousand bucks, so it basically ends up a free trip to LA.

I can't believe I'm upset to see Brik go. I actually really liked his look, and this was the best thing he's done so far. I like mixed patterns, and I liked the way the pants fit the model, and I loved the shoes he put with the outfit. Cornelius's looked like something very ordinary, and not even a good ordinary. There was nothing interesting about it. I guess it was a good thing he used that yellow. Erin's was awful too. Those shorts looked like they had the mange. This show makes zero sense to me, other than if I actually like something, it's in poor taste, apparently.

Didn't we already see the "mauve dress" on Carrie Bradshaw on the side of a bus?

When they said Greece, my first thought was Sandy's nightgown at the sleepover with the Pink Ladies.

Alex's looked like it came off the set of Little House on the Prairie. I cannot believe the judges actually liked that. I knew Sarah was a goner because she's one of those that I would swear hasn't actually been on the show the last two weeks. I didn't think hers was that bad. Jenni's was almost offensively awful. I have no memory of her whatsoever. I loved Rik's. Good call there, judges. How Tasha survived, I don't know. And that guest judge. Was there something wrong with him? He was either high as a kite or dumb as dirt. Not that those are mutually exclusive. He added less than nothing to the discussion.

I want that commercial and everyone associated with it to die in a fire.

I missed that bit, but it's not surprising. It reminds me of the time that I intentionally wrote the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite poem ever for English class, and my teacher submitted for publication in a statewide magazine. I was mortified.

That commercial absolutely slays me.

Brilliant! I decided to do this with the next commercial that came on, and it was for Cotton. That wouldn't be very interesting - lol. They tried to talk me into Transitions the last time I got new glasses. The kicker is that they don't darken in the car (something about the windshield glass blocking uv rays) and that's the time I need sunglasses the most. No thanks.

The one on the right reminds me of people picking up glowsticks and attaching them to themselves at a phish show. (not that I would ever do such a thing myself.)

I cannot believe Nina said "I don't need to see another shift dress" when there were like 5 shift dresses with shit painted on them that were apparently perfectly fine with her. This challenge sucked.

Yeah, not appetizing. Kind of like those rat things that were supposed to make us want to eat Quizno's.

Thanks for the info on neoprene. Sounds like it's only practical for runway, like much of the stuff we see in the fashion shows. I felt the same way about Jenni's pants. I loathe drop crotch, but her's was SO dropped that it looked much different than the usual loaded diaper version. I thought it was a cool and unique look. I wouldn't wear it, and I don't know anyone who would, but I thought it made an interesting runway showing. At least it wasn't boring!

Thanks for the answer on neoprene. I live in South Carolina, so I'll probably see it on the racks at Ross in about 2025. ;)

I posted upthread that I liked Erin's design, and would wear something similar, but I would like to know if anyone here has ever worn a neoprene garment that wasn't a wetsuit. I don't think I've ever even SEEN a neoprene garment that wasn't a wetsuit. How come that's such a popular fabric on PR?

Thanks for posting this - I adore Swatch! My dog goes to work with me every day and she's become our "office dog" and while we don't have a lot of clients coming in, the ones who do just love to see her. I feel like she needs an accounting-related name - lol.

I think my favorite line of the night was JMag saying that she doesn't design for the typical woman - and you're expecting the usual "I only work with size -4 models" but she says she likes to dress for girls who like to wear crazy stuff. Good on ya, Jmag. I really like Erin's dress, and I would totally wear it (well, maybe not the neoprene version.) I didn't love the winning jumpsuit, and can't see how that even remotely falls into "regular woman" wear, but I like Laurence's sense of style and I look forward to seeing what else she comes up with.

I don't (think I) sound all that southern, and after I moved out west for a few years, I honestly wasn't sure what language some of the folks around here were speaking - lol.

Also, I know this is a site about television, but I would be remiss if I didn't share this little bit of awesome that played at every commercial break on every radio station I listened to as a kid.

This is probably my favorite local commercial ever. "We ain't mad at ya!"

Ian reminded me of Man-Bun from last season's Top Chef. At least the PR judges had the decency to send him home before we got the fashion version of snot on a rock. I actually really liked the winning look, which is odd because I have a mild wig phobia (don't ask.) I really liked the paper lantern dress too - it reminded me of the sculpture in Al Pacino's apartment in The Devil's Advocate. My theory on Grumpy Tim is that he was filming PR Junior at the same time as All Stars (or maybe it was last season's PR), and after working with children who were talented and mature way beyond their years, he's over a bunch of whiny assholes who act like toddlers. I would be too. And so far, this seems to be a fairly mature bunch of characters, so perhaps the powers that be took notice as well.

Oh god, that's awful. Late night delivery (which they don't do to my house anyway) is the only good thing about Jimmy Johns. And I can't make myself eat from a place with the word "SMELLS" in neon on the front of the building.

What. the. fuck.

Really? Is there something about "Uncle Richie" that I am not in tune with enough to recognize? To me, it just glorifies anti-intellectualism. Which is fine if you want to live in Idiocracy. Which, hey, at least they have Costco.

"Brainpower is neat but horsepower is sweet" - what in the everloving fuck is this bullshit? I'm not snobbish enough to insist that college and office jobs are the only way to be successful, but embracing anti-intellectualism isn't something I can ever, ever, ever get behind.
